Latest Animatrix Short Released
martyn s writes "The latest animatrix short, The Second Renaissance, Part 2 is finally out. This short is the continuation of The Second Renaissance Part 1. Taken together, these shorts document how, in the matrix universe, 'Man was the architect of his own demise.'"
And here's the
BitTorrent link.
They were the contractors he hired after he'd finished his blueprints!
I liken the recent rebirth, revelations, and renaissance of trolling on Slashdot to the soon-to-be-classic epic battle between Neo (played by actor Keanu Reeves) and the rogue virus Agent Smith (portrayed by the esteemed actor Hugo Weaving).
In this climactic and feverishly pitched battle, a rejuvenated Agent Smith confronts Neo. Neo (cmdr taco) has increased his power (anti troll filters) exponentially. Agent Smith (troll) has since developed the ability to infect the "shells" of others, a process which he uses to effectively multiply. At the outset of the battle, Agent Smith attempts to first infect Neo and spread into his "system". The troll filters prove amiable, and Neo easily repels this clever initial attack. Undaunted, the troll (Agent Smith) seeks to gain assistance from those in his surrounding environment. With the most excellent and well placed of trollings, Agent Smith captures the hearts and minds of many others, effectively creating an army in his own image (Trollkore, CLIT, You Fail It, IN SOVIET RUSSIA, etc).
This new army of Agent Smiths pour down upon Neo in a glorious wave of absurdity, brutal character attacks, vulgar ASCII imagery, and unprecedented and unusual tales of sexual escapades. The ensuing melee is a remarkable epic of good vs. evil, as the many trolls continue to pour down upon cmdr taco, seeking to defeat him with an avalanche of numbers. The outcome to this bitter rivalry has yet to be seen.
Which is where we find ourselves tonight gentlemen.
This is a war, and we are soldiers.
Why are we using BitTorrent to spare AOL's bandwidth?!?!?!? We never use BitTorrent to spare the poor guy who builds a lego robot or whatever and hosts his site on his DSL and then gets slashdotted. Sometimes Slashdot editors can just be so dumb...

Yeah, that's the hook to get you to buy the 9 episode DVD. I'm all over that.
Arnold? Is that you?
I didn't know they even got the Internet in Austria...
I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then you could keep Dracula and Superman away.
Never saw this one coming... :^)
You are in a maze of twisted little posts, all alike.
Afterall, one doesn't need to worry about machines being a disaster when they become "self-aware" (in Terminator's case) if they weren't built for DESTRUCTION in the first place.
Yeah, but think about that kind of up-time! *sigh* Probably never see it in my lifetime...

"Episode 1" is what the sequel to a movie is called these days, right?
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
Then why is she being credited for Revolutions [imdb.com]?
I'll tell you why.
"Neo... you must go to the Dagobah system. There you will learn from the Matrix hacker who instructed me."
wow... you read a manpage... just wow.

"I speak of none other than the computer that is to come after me," intoned Deep Thought, his voice regaining its accustomed declamatory tones. "A computer whose merest operational parameters I am not worthy to calculate - and yet I will design it for you. A computer which can calculate the Question to the Ultimate Answer, a computer of such infinite and subtle complexity that organic life itself shall form part of its operational matrix. And you yourselves shall take on new forms and go down into the computer to navigate its ten-million-year program! Yes! I shall design this computer for you. And I shall name it also unto you. And it shall be called... The Earth."
Phouchg gaped at Deep Thought.
"What a dull name," he said...
