I thought we would see another episode of Brewko's Corner this week, especially with that treasure hunt that was on Syntax in Tabor Park. Still, a nice review all the same.

I didn't get the news from Brewko this week but I'll bug him next week since they are ramping up the random events again.

Just some information about the RSS feeds.

They are automatically created via the forum system to export posts / threads. The RSS data is used using XML so most readers will use it. Its also good for a Live Feed based system.

RSS is part of the web 2.0 standard.

RE: Havocide: Sorry but the feeds are automatically made via the forum, there is no method to manually insert RSS feeds. The only way would be to create a thread for it to be displayed. Apart from that way, i am sorry but there is no method to add Feeds.

For the website: Joel you and Jake have my contact details if you need me to check the security or code anything up SMILEY

So since you said you think we're gonna really like the new cinematic, you are now obligated to give us a hint on whats in it SMILEY

Will it be the same style as before...comic style that is, or have you guys returned to the ingame engine SMILEY

More than likely it will be the comic style, I think it was said that they just dont have to time to make the in game version of the cinematic

Fixed ^_^

Also it says a lot better to say: "We have graphic novel style cinematics every 6 weeks that continue the story of 'The Matrix'" It sounds a lot better, not to mention MGS and MGS2 Graphic Novels will be released in nearly an identical style (mabey a little bit more 'anime' SMILEY but all the cinematics in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops used the 'mono-chrome' graphic style that we had from the cinematics in chapter 5, so it isn't like we are getting second rate stuff that no other game dare use.

Also, good news on the Brewko corner thing. All he needs now is a logo, it could be his RSI sat on a chair with his leg crossed holding a book with a pipe and a pair of reading specs on the end of his node ^^

Looks like the updated forums will not allow you to type out standard BB-style tags anymore, ie

[img](image url)[/img]

[url=(link url)](link name)[/url]

I was panicking, since this is how I do the daily Live Events threads with their 42 images, and nearly any other link or image I post, but then I noticed the "HTML" button in the JavaScript editing panel. Is that new? Anyway, you can click that and then edit the post's HTML directly, which is I think going to be nice once I get used to it.

A little slower for some things (particularly since I prefer to run with JavaScript disabled on my slower home machine) but could allow for a lot more flexibility in what you can do with a post.

Oooh, something that vista is actually useful for? Maybe having that spare Vista laptop isn't such a drag after all.

Well, I thought it was...until I realized these updates were coming in from October 20th...any RSS users know how to fix this?

Also, I’ve been fortunate enough to check out the cinematic and I’m certain this one won’t disappoint so be sure to check it out once it goes live!

You win. You were right. Just wish it was longer.....
