"Matrix stuff - very, very cool and strange"

A new website has just popped up, at http://www.metacortechs.com - you may remember this as the company Thomas Anderson works for in the original Matrix movie. Only this website is pretending the company is real. There's load of little things you can read and forage about in.

If you click on the Directory link at the bottom, it takes you to a map - click on the Redland section and you're taken to a company database screen. Enter 'AndersonThomas' and you're told that he has been 'transferred'. You can also enter other members of staff and it gives you odd binary codes, flashing images, things like that.

The site also gives you the biggest indication that the whole Matrix thing is 'just a dream', if you look in the News section. It tells of a MetaCortex Games System, which creates the most realistic virtual games system known to man. Uh-oh...

Check it out, it's wicked, kinda like the sites that were launched before AI a few years ago. There's loads of links off to other sites, all fake too. If you check out the Employee of the Month's website, you see she's interested in the paranormal and some of her recent studies suggest that what she's seeing is the Matrix unravelling, as is supposed to happen in Revolutions.

Personally, I think this is a site for the new online Matrix game that'll be released next year, as there is a place to sign-up for Beta testing and the general vibe I get from the site is more games-related than movie-related. Still, definitely worth a look, you could spend hours reading all the stuff and totally get caught up in the fact that it's not real.

Cool.

I love the concept of the Matrix

I've been holding out for the 3 film boxset which I knew was inevitable. Doing the same with Lord Of The Rings, too.

*grits teeth and waits until 2004*

The Reloaded DVD has basic features. Apparently the special stuff (deleted scenes/alternate endings/documentaries) are being saved for a box set in 2004 with all 3 movies in, that's why Warners held off the 2-disk Matrix special edition earlier this year before Reloaded came out.

Bah

It's certainly plausible. There are so many cool ideas flying around at present. Maybe the machines based the concept of the Matrix upon the human development of VR, thus VR would be something you could use whilst in the Matrix, like computers, the internet etc as we created this at the peak of human civilization.

I think.

Does anyone remember the Wachowskis talking about how good they think Alice in Wonderland is on the Revisited disc? Be afraid, be very afraid...

Snuggly, I'm confused, please enlighten me! How many new Matrix games are coming out and what ones are online and stuff, share your wisdom o cuddly one!

Gatacca abd that Red Dwarf episode spring to mind. Well, sprung to mind because we had this conversation a few days ago.

Half of me thinks it's for the Ubisoft Matrix online game that comes out after the third film. The other half is desperately hoping The Matrix wasn't a computer game all along. That's almost as bad as the 'it was all a dream' ending.

He'll be on the back row then...

"Fly Neo, fly!!!" (Neo is his willy's name)

I hope it ends like one of the short films out of Animatrix. Cant remember which one though (plus dont want to spoil it for people that havent seen it).
