EPTA friend of mine works maintenance and I think the most interesting things he's seen is someone just get hit straight up in the parking lot (not cool...) and someone try to go over a large curb divider at like 30 and wreck the bottom of the car.

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jgjqzjN.png) The road immediately in front of the building is one way, going to the right with arrows and signage clearly marking it as such. There are only two "reasonable" ways the car could have crashed like that. Either the driver drove the wrong way down the road after entering it from the above-ground parking, or they came up the entrance to the under-ground parking. Either way they encountered a vehicle coming the other way, swerved to avoid, and the rest is history. The above-ground scenario is far more likely, since that parking is visitors/VIPs only. Someone who'd been to the building more than once wouldn't make that mistake, and certainly wouldn't have driven up the entrance to the parking garage. | ||

Jeff, let this be a lesson. Don't use a cellphone while driving. Is marmy alive? This applies to him too | ||

I kind of wonder if it would have been better to be born 30-40 years later instead of now or earlier if you're a male. | ||

From small implants (Deux Ex 3) to full body replacement and only your brain intact (Motoko in GitS). + Show Spoiler [Gunm] + Or the reverse, your whole body but a chip instead of your brain.  | ||

Deus Ex and GitS both revolve around replacing the body with technology. In Ghost in the Shell people replace their brains with "cyber-brains" that allows access to internet and other tech. It's basically like a tablet, in your brain. However there then becomes a whole philosophical debate around what they call a "Ghost". It's analogous to the soul. The main protagonist is a 100% cyborg who later on eventually leaves her body to merge with an AI and roam the web. You should really watch GitS and play Deus Ex. They are both at the pinnacles of their mediums. As for the male part well women have a lot more rights and freedom now than they did in the past. Think it's a lot better time for them to live in where as for a male you got all the privilege as now but with added benefits like your degree actually netting you a job lol :D @Alaric - Mokoto is fully Cyborg. She even leaves her body which is a pretty big theme in the show. + Show Spoiler + Then in SSS you see her using multiple bodies where one even takes on a mind of it's own. edit: Oh shit I just got my 2nd Cabal from the reward chest. YAAAAAAAAY. Must be like 150 packs later | ||

The idea of enforcing a neutral, commerce/corporate-centric territory seems fun. Sirius Government* I know I know, it sounds silly to nag over details like it but Sirius is also a system and still a company inside that system with an active(If somewhat vexing) playergroup. It further complicates things when you realize Sirius is a Hudson exploited system but Sirius Government and Sirius Corp are both run by the same guy. One of the more, confusing things to come from powerplay. | ||
