CyberMurph

Was this game released? 

Hi everyone! Sorry I don't stop by more often. I'm glad to see that this place is still around. Hope all is well with everyone. I'm still in the Army - currently deployed to Kuwait - and in graduate school when not deployed. I got back into RPGs with DND 5E in 2017, but never found a regular group. I'm going to give it another go when I get home. Maybe I'll get a CP2020 group going.

How is everyone?

-Murph'

Well, I guess it's safe to say that short of cybernetic implants, we got a 2020 not unlike the one we imagined!

I'd buy a copy. I haven't spent money on CP2020 in almost 20 years, so I don't mind dropping some cash on a new release just to give it a shot.

Merry Christmas!

Also keep in mind that social media has taken the place of forums for most folks. They are more intuitive, easier to do "cool" things with, and you can post of selfies!

 

Having not run a CP game in over a decade, and having pretty much zero interest in running a different game with the aging-poorly dice engine, this has by an large become a "Let's see how the homies are doing over here" kind of thing. Sad certainly, but since the computer CP RPG fell through, 3rd was utter garbage, and all too many of the tropes are reality as Stray has pointed out, it was pretty much inevitable.

There's always Cyberpunk 2077

Holly it's the one and Only Cybermurph.

 

Next thing I know the cyberpuppy will be Glomped by Boneshaker.

 

Where have you been and lets get the juicy details of the Runs?

Well, I was in Afghanistan 2008-2009. Since then I have become the corporate security director for a Japanese Wall Street firm, so I am basically living CP2020. I played City of Heroes until they shut it down. I'm on Star Wars The Old Republic now and again. I was addicted to World of Tanks for a year, but finally gave it up cold turkey. I'm staying away from computer games until BioWare Andromeda comes out. I've also been doing this thing where I 'read books'. How are you and everyone else?

I'm not dead yet!

Hey all! I'm glad to see VftE is still here! Hope everyone is well.

GAAAAAHHHHHHHH! I'm back! I've watched this video about 500 goddam times and the CyberMurph monster has awoken! BE. A. FRAID.

I'd given up. And there are no barbie dolls!

Welcome to The Edge.

Welcome! I have an opinion on EVERYTHING. But I am also lazy so I don't post often.

Bienvenue!

Although I am a spam bot, I am a seriously good looking one!

Read it. Loved it. Best treatment of the post 9/11 world I have read in fiction yet.

Ninjia? Is that like a latino Ninja?

oh dear. someone ban me before I open my mouth again!

Ban NinaBomb? NEVER! I'll become a socialist before that happens.

I read this quite a while ago, and while reading the first scene and its overt plugging of various pistol brands...all I could think of was 'the VftE crew would LOVE this'.

 

 

I found it a tad grotesque, so much sex and violence in close proximity freaked me out a bit, but it was certainly a clever plot.

I found the implication that the main character's romantic attraction to the police woman was entirely hormonal (and thus had no effect on his doubly sleeved self in the combat body) amusing...I wonder how real that is.

 

I still puzzled over needlecasting - even if they were transmitting at lightspeed, that means a 12 year journey from Alpha Centauri to here, and it seems they'd colonised a lot further out than that.

 

Still. I enjoyed it. It's what cyberpunk is evolving into, and it is goood...

I got the impression the needlecasting was (somehow) faster than light. Actually, since the author did not bother to explain it I just nodded my head and agreed. "It is faster than flyin there yourself" was good enough for me.

Finally read this. It is HIGHLY entertaining. I would recommend it to any CP fan. Not totally original, but a hoot to read.

oh..........my..........god.........

I liked it because, unlike quite a lot of anime, the story translated well into English / western audiences. Although it gets a little "deep" it does not get rediculous like a lot of anime stories do.

And it has tons of cool CP-like action!

I'm such a sell-out

I guess I'm sellin out!

For this years N.O.D. I thnk we should attempt to make all the orgasms in the world SIMULTANEOUS!

Seriously.

At least for the guys anyway.
