Oh man, we make ourselves so obvious. I was here for the Ultima Online reference as well. There's something Baudrillardian here about the simulation and the simulacra.
Meanwhile, it's time to go fight 4 groups of 99 berserkers again.
Warstrike: WAST!
That's what I thought too - I mean this is interesting, but dang -- BT was the bee's knees.
In case you aren't aware, the full original trilogy was recently remastered (that is, I and II thus far, they're still working on III), and they released a 'Part IV' with a whole new game engine. I haven't played the new one yet, but have heard it's good-- just a bit buggy, which they've already made some progress on rectifying.
