Official Movie Site![]() Remind you of any Security Managers you might know? ![]() ![]() The 2001 Action Game of the year is going to be a movie in late October. Mark Wahlberg is cast in the title role of a rogue undercover NYPD-DEA cop/agent that goes on a one-man war against a drug that plagues the streets and causes fleeting hallucinations involving Nordic lore called Valkyr, the very same drug that prompted junkies to kill his wife and baby daughter. The game was inspired by various things, including the Matrix with its bullet-time system and is an all out immersion into the dark, deep coldness of the feeling of vengeance. There's also a bit of dark humor involved as well. Cutscenes are depicted in graphic novel format, such at this one. ![]() |

| I don't see how you can classify Sonic as an animal. Animal usually refers to a lifeform that is sub-human in physiology, intelligence and empathy. As you can see, Sonic and company can walk and talk and also (Tails) one can fly on their own (which requires above human physiology and intelligence), and also engage in telepathy (Silver, and again, requires above human physiology and intelligence). They have an understanding of the environment they occupy and other variables and lifeforms within that environment and most importantly, they can feel emotions. As I've mentioned before, it is my belief that it is more fitting and accurate to classify them as extraterrestrial lifeforms (note that Shadow the Hedgehog was not known as the Ultimate Hedgehog or Ultimate Animal, but the Ultimate Lifeform). Sure, they may look like the animals we know on Earth, but as we know, looks do not determine everything in the world. If it did, we would have destroyed ourselves years and years ago. |

| I really think it's quite idiotic and hypocritical for humans to go "Ewww" all the sudden when interspecies coupling comes up and at the same time we're running an active search for extraterrestrial life. Inevitably, when extraterrestrials make contact, the human nature of curiosity itself is going to fling out the first coupling. If they're intelligent, empathetic and peaceful, why should there be a problem? If we start making this kind of stuff the new Scarlet Letter, then we're committing one of the worst intellectual crimes in history. |
| Watch Out Korea! |

| Korea is known for its widespread love for the Blizzard Entertainment RTS game StarCraft. Tournaments and Blizzcons happen there all the time. Diablo III was announced there, matter of factedly. It's common place on Blizzard's Asian gateway to meet players with win ratings at about 700+ victories. The party however seems to be over with the invasion of two U.S East players. One of them is a self-proclaimed schizophrenic grocery store clerk from Florida. The other is a less-crazy but still volatile, unemployed Sonic community scener from Ohio (sound familiar to anyone?) Well to those who are totally clueless, I'm referring to myself (the unemployed one) and my best friend Moddex. About a day or so ago, our first foray into the Asian servers consisted of a team melee against a Korean player named Kang, that went by the handle 'Ralph_Lauren1'. We used a special set of no rushing rules and ended up cranking out a combined Zerg and Protoss force, 620 units strong. Exploiting a hole in his base defense, I (controlling the Protoss element) was able to surprise him by teleporting a large chunk of Moddex's Swarm O'Zerg (TM, Copyrighted, Patent Pending to Moddex James Everest) in there. He ended up leaving about three minutes after our attack started in. Moddex's Swarm ended up getting constipated from eating all of that metal and junk that was left behind. So there was our first game and victory. Game #2 only happened about 10 minutes ago. Again, Team Melee, same rules. Only this time I had Terran forces to play with. We were massing up our forces when our opponent abruptdly surrenders. We found out later on he had 32 units compared to our massive force of 434. Easy pickings if he was still there. Unfortunately, StarCraft does not allow replays of team games. Otherwise, we'd be uploading it to YouTube and watching it zonked out on tea and coffee. |

| I've noticed that a few of us play StarCraft. Me, Yvette and Shadowsminion come to mind. Anyways, I suggest that we form an official =SB= StarCraft clan where we can face off against each other for sparring and up against other clans. It would be organized into sub-clans for each StarCraft Gateway (U.S East, West, Asia and Europe) to filter everyone in geographically. Each sub-clan would have a Regional leader and then there is finally a head command of whomever that Metallix appoints. Then again, perhaps we could organize a tournament for the lead. |

| Greetings Hedj. I am the Security Operations Manager here and I handle such issues. As you may see from the latest topic in our news board, we have a rule against invasions. I will look into it from our end of the spectrum. Also, I have registered on SoaH City with the username Miles, display name "Cybernetic Wrath" (Why so much hatred for the hyphen? D:) |

| That's good. I was notified automatically by the TSF of people who were erased by its administrative systems and those were the names it gave me. Still, let this be your verbal warning. Invasions are not tolerated. |

It has been brought to my attention that SOTI has incited several board members here into invading another forum that has a dispute with us. For that reason, SOTI has been permanently banned from Sonic Blast, with Metallix's approval for this and other violations. A rule is in place about invading/flooding Sonic Blast and other boards.
The following members have been implicated in the invasion of the other forum: Arkei Nine Tailed Ramen Fox Xpy Chyper Beta Ray Banhammer Arkei and Nine Tailed along with SOTI were confirmed to have trolled there. By all rights, you should be removed with SOTI. However, as I've seen no past violations on your records, consider this to be your first and final verbal warning on the subject, which also applies to you as well Xpy. However, Beta Ray Banhammer is to be removed from Sonic Blast CIA for his part in the matter and also removed from his leadership position of the Church of the Lady of Fury. These actions are backed by Metallix's authority and are uncontestable. |

| I should also warn that I'm running security for TSF at this time during this controversy, and any kind of intentional attack will reflect back on those who openly stated their intent here if they are found to have executed their attacks. It breaks the rules on both sides. |
