$3.99 this go-around. yeah could have sworn i paid less than that for it (edit: $2.49! 5 goddamn years ago sheesh)

whatever it's a loving riot and that image really is a completely perfect description of the game

Frank Herbert later described shigawire in his Dune novels. First making its appearance in Dune (1965), shigawire is a metallic extrusion produced naturally from a ground vine found on the planets Salusa Secundus and III Delta Kaising. It varies in diameter from approximately 1.5 cm down to monomolecular (micronic) diameters, and is notable for its incredible tensile and mechanical strength. Shigawire is able to cut through almost any material cleanly, possessing edges that are incredibly sharp. It is a weapon of choice for assassins.

molly millions origin story was that she won @ maccy's monopoly

boardwalk on her cup and park place on her john's

poor rube never saw it coming as she'd replaced his with a baltic avenue from the kid at the next table by the time he got back from the can

also The Silver Case and 2064: Read Only Memories are both very cyberpunk
Read Only Memories is good but for the love of god turn off the voice acting. I beat it before they "upgraded" it and came back and ignoring Turing (who has a pretty good voice) it sounds like the devs rounded up a bunch of random people off the street.

And it didn't work like it did for System Shock 2.

I got a 4 hour train journey coming up. What's a non-terrible cyberpunk novel i can waste my time with?
i've read gibson's sprawl stuff, snow crash, altered carbon and sequels. Is gibson's modern stuff any good?

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi?

If you him, he also has a nother book about near-future water drought where Arizona gets hosed called The Water Knife hwich was good, but thats not cyberpunk

also I dont consider it cyberpunk heavy, but I liked Nexus by Ramez Naan where people develop a drug to turn their brain into a like a computer with peer2peer brainnetworking and stuff

random pick from my backlog; started Hardwired by Jon Walter Williams - only 10% in but it's a nearly pitch-perfect early Gibson/Sterling Cyberpunker, even now I'd say buy it and read along with me if you liked Sprawl Gibson at all.

I will post again if it suddenly goes off the rails :o:

gibson's stuff is all good; the bigend trilogy is worth reading even if it was basically set in the present when written (and is now set super deep in the dark past when people had powerpc ibooks)
