Nearly completed

Kazuhiro Aridian rang me up a couple of days ago to let me know that we'll soon be seeing this creature on the market. Kaz is just preparing the documentation and packaging. I tried it on last night and every detail, from the HUD, animations and particle effects, to the actual av... perfection. Kudos, Kaz!

Contumacy Singh said...: I saw this AV in the Wastelands a few weeks ago (presumably during field-testing) and it was truly marvelous.

Can't wait to try it out.; November 5, 2007 at 1:07 PM

Show me, I'll show you...

A central goal for us is to collect and distill what's really happening out there and pare down your options to the essence of what's cool, trendsetting and even groundbreaking, always within the context of Not Possible IRL. This is not intended as a calendar of events and our selections are, by necessity, subjective and opinionated. To learn more about the criteria for what is NPIRL, click here.

If you'd like to share a landmark, notecard or hot tip of any nature with us, kindly share it with us in-world. We try to always credit the finder, too.
