Can Ray, get 100 or more people who will buy this, and you can put it in a Mission.

Sales trump me wanting to beat you

Me and my Roomie are in for one copy each!

I had planned to write a Netcat/Toaster Shipping Fanfic written in-universe by Slamm-0!, but decided that Jason and Bull have enough reason to beat me as is.

Shipping = Writing fanfic about two characters (who are not together in the canon material) being in a relationship, usually not exactly a platonic one...in other words, Rule 34

Now it all starts to make sense... in a weird, puberty-kind of way. Bleech...

Thanks Sengir.

You DO know who CanRay is right? O.o
And you DO know who Slamm-0 is?o.O

Shagging Deus?

Good grief.

No and yes. While I have an average grasp on the Who is Who of shadowtalkers, I pretty much don't care at all about the actual people (well, unless they are very present, like J. Hardy or Bull - it's a free time issue).

Not Deus, Morgan.

You won't find many people more present than CanRay here.

Whom they pilfered for Code to make Deus out of.

Wait... Does that make Deus Dodger's offspring, in a way?

For a bit more Squick:
Technically, Dodger is Morgans Father.

Then what does that make Magera? (sp?)

Speaking of SR:R, looks like it got a little patch.

also suspiciously absent:
the fact that most rolls use base-attribute, not current attribute, so cyber simply ain't taken into consideration for most things . .

is this to stop conversation items looking at adjusted attrib (say BODY 10) opening all the options for chat when you are just a skinny weasel in a set of full armour ?

and there's some crossover ?

in your pda it shows the actual version.

Besten Dank.

Coyote at least is, in my eyes, BETTER than him.
Because SHE gets a frigging shotgun with good damage, spread and later on burst fire!
Fragging Idiot runs up to where i unload a metal storm with a friggin iron poker <.<

Yes.
A Gun.
ANY GUN!
Or at least some better offensive spells.
So he has no need to run into my line of fire <.<
I lost count on how often i killed him by now . . .

So, I just finished SR:R...

I think it's a good game, but it has its flaws. I like the text-based adventure bit, but I think it's sadly, largely too linear. There is a bit of a branch where you can take a proper side-job working for a Mr. J, though it's outright heinous that my high-Charisma elf simply didn't get the option to negotiate for more pay.

Among the flaws, though... Some are engine-related, some are mission-building related in the main missions. For instance...

You shouldn't invest too heavily in decking. I mean, you can make a Decker and survive and all, but you only get one shot at getting that Fairlight Excalibur, and even if you get it, you only get two chances to use it in the course of one Run. Even if you do so, though, it won't matter after that bit, so you're paying 5K for a great advantage in two hacky-bits and then nothing else. This is mainly a matter of story-building: more opportunities for decking could have been put in the game; for instance, a quick decking here or there in the climactic finale to get some auto-turrets installed by one of the slightly less insane members of the cult online and working for you.

Charisma and Etiquette. Some Etiquettes are more useful than others, and I think a few are only called up like, once in the game, and it doesn't get you anything to be able to do so beyond being considered a clever girl by some big-name NPCs. It's also frustrating that there's no "so you have really high Charisma, you can talk the bad guy out of it" option at the end, like a really masterful negotiator in Fallout or Arcanum could talk the BBEG to death.

Some things were more disappointing in the way they were implemented. Wired Reflexes - that should be a no-brainer, they should give you +1 AP. Instead, for some reason, they make you auto-dodge the first "effect" that happens to you after you trigger them. Even if that "effect" is a buff, healing spell, or reloading your own freaking gun. Drones were a massive disappointment, often the only reason to have them along is to have them passively offering another target for bad guys to randomly choose to shoot at, and Spirits, I found, were often literally worse than useless, and they would turn on me when I most desperately needed them to be on my side.

Also, honestly, they just plain-out missed an opportunity to have a 'world hub' and the ability to have your preexisting character go on different storylines and such.

Still, it wasn't all that bad. I was hooked from start to finish. But I agree that it was more of a Shadowrun novel (or novella) with a heavy combat tactics game attached to it, light on the other game aspects.

You get to talk to people afterwards, just not at the Union.

I didn't think the last fight was all that bad. The fight that really kicked my butt was the graveyard fight.

I found the graveyard fight the hardest. I think it's because, for some inexplicable reason, they just target your runner and not either of your tem-mates. This results in quick death. I had to use a lot of 'nades to escape.

Actually that's another thing for my Con's list
- There are trauma kits to bring back dead team-mates, but the PC going down results in instant game-over.

In an amusing twist, since my runner was a street sam with a cracked out Dodge, I tended to stand out in the open and breakdance my way out of taking damage, keeping my team unharmed.

Any of the UGC missions that I should check out? Been dinking around with the SNES alpha so far, but I think the 1.0.2 patch broke a few things.

(Big in Japan, Alphaville)

I think that this music video should be part of the Berlin campaign. It involves the pseudo-Japanese 80s aesthetic of Shadowrun (STR + 3 M, with the + 3 coz Asian) with a German band. Few things are a more direct representation of what a Shadowrun game set in Germany should be.

Ironically, this song is unavailable on YouTube for users in Germany because of licensing drek. ;D
