At times it seems better than the Australian one... which was as flat as the middle-bit of the country. The hosts aren't bad.... though it feels strange. It feels American in that it's sort of cheap and tacky with a veneer of cool, and occasionally some substance. But at times it feels tacked on and pared down to the budget.
I've got a couple of endings in mind in tha vein to drill it home. Mostly varying in who gets to actually pay the price and what that price is. e plot originally involved a runaway T-72 with a fried expert system going J1..... but this is better. And avoids that whole borked-AI-goes-homicidal cliche. Instead, it's just a loose wire and a mistake anyfan can make when building something in a rush 'to get it working', and gives the thing a better point beyond 'oops' - 'fun stuff happens' - 'fun stuff over, The End'
Especially since Mackie himself was born out of a similar kind of accident. It seems to run in the family, for sure.
Anyway I'll probably need to ping a few people by email to really get it to work right. The Tachikoma especially get to do something interesting.
Would also be nice to know who's there too, if anyone's attending.
