    One of those shots looks like Cherry 2000 and Rick Deckard.

    On the plus side, this is stylistically one more critical step toward the all-important goal of Moonbase purple wigs.

    DAMMIT! I thought this was going to be a story about Lady GaGa. Way to tease with the photo, Meredith.


    Jerk!

    So the beautiful people are controlled by us drooling nerds with our ill gotten science millions and tech know-how? Every jock and cheerleader who tormented me in junior high school gets turned into a robot for me to control?


    Vengeance will be mine!

    "Slayers" allows humans control other humans in mass-scale, multiplayer online game


    So not only can you spend your "farming" time ACTUALLY farming, but now you've added "pooing time" and "eating time" to the amount of grinding you're going to have to do.


    This is the ultimate Blizzard product.

    You know, that summary brings up flashbacks of The Running Man.

    @crashedpc : ゴキブリ and 蟑螂 division: A bit more than flashbacks... more like Running Man meets the Nineties.


    Sounds like a shitty premise though, and those shots are laughable, TekWar looked better than that. And while I'm thinking about great Schwarzenneger films - what the hell is that entry on IMDb for Total Recall due out in 2011??!?
