Give me everything cool looking until I achieve god-hood.

Then I can chill for a week or two before the next series of updates.

Mech of course, with time I will replace every part of my body with machine and become immortal.

cybernetics, as far as I know, are either created using metal and plastic, or a mix of that and biological components. I could be wrong tho :S, correct me if I am.

maybe I should've covered that in the intro...
Ah, I thought of mechanical as more steampunk or like the Strogg from Quake 2 and 4. Cybernetic to me is more subtle, computers inbedded in skin but hidden that sort of thing.

hahah :p there's ways to shield stuff from that you know. but valid point.
thank you for the vote and feedback :)
Shields can fail though. To be truly immune is to not have transistors.

be quiet void dragon. go back to sleep under mars ;)

i would go for a mix. mainly because both have strengths and weaknesses and a mixture would alleviate the weaknesses.

also because i could be a chaos marine :D

i cant wait for the technical singularity...

I'm ready for a brain plugin that allows me to access wikipedia and allow me to save thoughts in both note and letter format. Can't count how many one liners I've lost. Also yes... I know... wikipedia can be edited by anyone blah blah blah.... People that get hung up on this have never found the funny articles.

hmmmmm... food for thought indeed. I'm actually a bit stumped here :). Could you come up with a good definition for why these augs doesn't belong to either category? Does the inbred part play a huge factor? What materials are used?
(I'm not trying to burn you here, I'm really interested :). Also not up to date on my Quake lore :p )
Anyone else got thoughts on this matter?

Bio-Mech of course. Mostly bio, but some mech features for the looks, with loads of chrome involved for that oldschool CyberPunk2020 feel.

I may just be misunderstanding op's definition of mech, but if you replace things like your eyes, arms, etc with machine you still have flesh which can get sick.

I'm actually studying library & information sciences. As it turns out, the encyclopedias are about as accurate as wikipedia :S scary, isn't it.
Of course, printed matter isn't trolled and griefed as much. I have found the funny articles :p
