Poll: POLL: Sci-fi bodymodding. Bio or Mech?

[Vigormortis]

A combination of both is the most ideal kind of "augmentation". There are certain things biological components can do that mechanical components just couldn't do as well. Conversely, mechanical components would be stronger and provide abilities biological components never could.

Mech is leading slightly (though well after mix). Escapist people have faith in the metal I see
QUICK! SOMEONE FIND SOME AWESOME BIO STUFF TO EVEN THE SCORE!!!

 

[Chased]

Definitely best of both worlds. It terms of my OS most likely Snow Leopard due to less viruses, but I might have compatibility issues while mating. I'm not sure if Boot Camp will be fully ironed out at that point, but hey it's the future!

Bio, unless we get self-replicating metals (for automatic self-repair). If we get that, then mix n'match.

even though I'm considering a bit of sci-fi setting, you might want to read up on nano-tube technology. We're almost at the self-replacing metals already
Thanks for your vote & feedback =^_^=

Harrumph, it's been a while since I took a few days and updated my science theoreticals indeed. Thanks for the nudge fella ^_^

Bio. Fuck getting my ass beaten by an EMP.

hahah 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.

and not to catch a disease the one weakness of Bio.

If your Bio implants still leave you open to disease, then the unhappyy customer can claim full refund, stasis life preservation and new, replacement upgrades at a viable date under the "working out the kinks" clause in your purchase contract. Customer service is our priority.

Or you bought a shoddy product from our rivals.

 

[Megalodon]

Damn, double post

 

[Sebenko]

Mech, Laser pointer eye, now please.

With an off switch.

 

[Gudrests]

Left arm cyber...that grows in size proportional to my right (so i dont look too weird) and a plate over my heart for obvious reasons lol

 

[Grey_Focks]

Bio. Fuck getting my ass beaten by an EMP.

Mech. fuck getting my ass beaten by everything.

 

[jawg_t-j]

bio definetly id turn myself half bat and be known as the bat thing!!! id change my self so i could fly and mechanical would be pretty awkward like turbines of a jetpack.

 

[Tiny116]

MixnMatch, always get the best of both worlds XD

 

[The_Graff]

Mech, all the way. fulfil my dream of becoming a Mechanicus Secutor. (Google it)

omg you could be batman! are you batman?!

thx for vote 'n feedback

 

[FeetOfClay]

Both, full on transhumanism for the win!

That said I am strongly of the opinion that bio modification will far outstrip anything machines can do eventually (with the possible exception of nanomachines etc., but they're basically organisms anyway), but then, I may be a tad biased, since I've sunk at least four years of my life into a Genetics course.

Inside: mech outside bio durable but soft, for the ladys! ^^

 

[teh_Canape]

two words:

STEAM

CYBORG

yes, it's inefficient, but hell, if I go down, I'll go down pimpin'

Well played, sir! Well played.
thx for vote n feedback =^_^=

Mech. I really want that dude from Deus Ex HR's arms (and the rest of his body mods, they're way cooler than anything bio could do).

 

[SenseOfTumour]

for me, my first memory on reading this thread was the sadness I felt for Gunther in Deus Ex when I rescued him from the base of the statue of Liberty and he was saying how he'll just get out of the way and take his tired metal bones to the scrapheap to make way for me and my kind.

After designer trainers and the constant race to have the latest cellphone, I sense this will just be the latest way to rich kids to feel superior over the other kids.

It'll still be epic tho, I'll take last generation's enhancements if I can't afford the latest, you're reading the ramblings of a PS2 owner after all.
