Dumpshock Forums Upgrade

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

The forums are, as I type this, being upgraded to the newest version of the board software. This release is requiring us to change skins since our old skin is not compatible. .. but ‘Hey!’ we decided it was time for a face lift anyway.

Rocket-powered Cyberarms

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

You read that correctly. Apparently, batteries and motors aren’t cutting it. So researchers did what any self-respecting geek would do: they strapped rockets to it. Sorta.

A new prototype rocket-powered mechanical […]

Thieves Hacking Security Cameras….

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Bionic Woman

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Bionic Woman Looks like NBC is putting out a newer spin on the old classic. It features a cybered up woman, and her chief antagonist is a cybered out rival. Wether or not it will be any good who knows, but the promo is interesting. Looks like they gave her skillwires to boot.

Over at The Shadowrun Supplemental, we’re posting one Seattle location a day for the next couple […]

First Episode of Shadowcast Posted!

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

The first episode of Shadowcast — a new Shadowrun podcast — has been posted. It was recorded on June 12th, so some of the material is a little dated, but future installments should be more timely.
Live and direct from the Dumpshock forums… it’s Shadowcast, the Shadowrun podcast! Hosted by forum regulars Spookymonster and Kagetenshi (a.k.a., […]

Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

Our current logo (as seen in the Dumpshock Forums) has served us well over the years, but it’s time to move on. With this in mind, we’re having a logo contest. Bragging rights and a copy of Shadowrun 4 are yours for the taking if you win the contest. Check out this […]
