We are the CYBERMEN

[Corum]

Not so much a question as an observation....


Everywhere I look, in work or at home, we all appear to have become plugged in to our computers day and night. We are doing everything those Sci-Fi writers warned us about. We are the CYBERMEN !!!!!!!

[Michael Moorcock]

Are we Cybermen ?
I thought we were DEVO.

[Jerico]

And we're through with being cool!

There was a time when we were cool?

I must've missed it.

And it's a beautiful world. For you.

Mike, your musical eclecticism knows no bounds!

I used to play this RPG called Shadowrun in which there were these characters called "Deckers" who could plug computers directly into their brains. It doesn't seem like we're far from that now...

God, I hope that doesn't happen for a long time, I wouldn't want spam e-mail in my brain.

Also a popular series of books (my sister buys them on import from the States) and action figures! I used to love the RPG... always had a bit of a fetish for cyber-wear. I loved the Borg when they first appeared in Star Trek TNG, although obviously they were influenced by the cybermen. Personally I like wearing glasses, but I'd much rather have a chunky optical unit slapped to the side of my head with a cool-looking red beam coming out it!

If I recall my Shadowrun correctly, we should be coming to the end of the Mayan calendar soon (2011?) and there will be a huge cataclysm and some of us will turn into dragons and orcs... or something... right?

D...

Trouble is, the Borg look much cooler than Cybermen. The Borg look like Half-man/half-machine, the Cybermen look like people dressed in bad robot costumes and acting rather badly.

Though, in a moment of Doctor Who geekishness, I think the Cybermen look in their first appearence is much more freaky then any that came before.

Okay, the pictures suck. But I stand by the comment.

I want to be a cross between The Six Million Dollar Man and R2D2.

[Jerico]

A guy who wears a red jogging suit, has a dome-like head, and a single surveilance camera eye?

I suppose that would offer the women of the world a forth choice in a mate.
The first three being... 1. men 2. women who like women 3. guess?:?: 4. the six million dollar D2.

Q: What is the third choice of women?

I don't wanna be a cyberman! I wanna be a Dalek in The White House! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

I thought the early Cybermen were really scary because they wouldn't kill you, they would convert you. They would hiss "you belong to us now".
