We don't have that many old cyberpunk stuff anyway.  This is Entropy and JP's theme and ,since Entropy is the other guy in charge of this stuff, if he wants he can be incharge of setting the deadlines and getting articles.  That way he dosen't have to wory about me complaning about haveing to do it.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Hrm... I ran out of archive articles to run. How... disappointing.

So on that note, it'd becool to have a couple last minute reviews for tomorrow. Jeffe was talking about Band of Brothers last night. Can I push you into a hastily thrown together article?

Silent Storm is a WWII game that's in the archive.  You could post that.

There's a cyberpunk story in this years WotF anthology.  Suppose we could read that and write a review of it.

Yes, but Ninja day is annual, just like Talk like a Pirate Day. I mean, come on, you can never have too many ninjas.

Haven't started, will in a couple of days.

I'll start with Cyberpunk by Billy Idol, Snow Crash (I may want to re-read it though) Possibly software, though i'd need to re-read that first.

If I have the book by then, CP2020 gets the review treatment.  Also this comic Transmetropolitan, very cyberpunk (Or retropunk as I have decided to call it. What you get when you make cyberpunk in the modern day, and it comes out a little postmodern.)

So expect from me: The Album, the comic. Probably a book, maybe an rpg. And I'll see if I can think of and have time to do more, but probably not, since I'm going on holidays in a week for a week.
