((Yes. So, in general, it's either send and receive information via surrogate channels ("stirring" the "muscles" and "feeling" "sensoty" data, respectively), or get that Aux genetic enhancement (let's say which I learned about somewhere in the course of this research) and screw your normal information channels, right?
Then what's about 1)Using other brain areas to house the plug instead of the (apparently) motor and sensory parts of the cortex? Somewhere akin to the amps placement (and using the similar data exchange methods), for example.
2)Connecting to wetware and/or other people? That way the communication barrier (present between a computer and a brain) should be circumvented, right?
So, in short, are there ways to expand the mind's domain over to the direct neural interface, rather than leave the latter under control of external "modem" entity and fooled perceptions? ))
Here's the thing about Amps: They use you a whole hell of a lot more then you use them. See, when someone uses an amp all they're doing is thinking about what they want done really hard and then activating the amp. The amp then basically hijacks your brain and uses it to make calculations while also taking a look at and deciphering what you were thinking about, putting that into action. It doesn't have a problem understanding your thoughts but your brain is different.
If we were to pump straight data into a nonsensory parts of your brain you would, at best, either begin hallucinating or completely alter your own memories. Your brain won't know what the hell to make of what will, to it, be a completely nonsense stream of neurotransmitters. Hell, you've seen what happens to people who get even the slightest bit of feedback from amps. This is why we use sensory data pumped into the right channels, because your brain can understand that. I mean, dumping translated flash program into your brain would be like shoving a sandwich in the disk drive of a computer. Neither would know what the hell was going on.
That leaves you with only two options really: Alter your brain so that it CAN understand these signals, though that isn't without it's own problems-or employ some sort of middle man; a program or device that takes the data and changes it into a visual or sensory data you can comprehend.
Does this make sense? I don't think I'm explaining it well.
"In retrospect, mapping entire planets in that much detail might be overdoing it."
Tone graphics, level size, and boss size sown, to about halfway between the original and the current.

Now everything is cell-shaded. and 2d.
"HOW DO I EVEN KEEP DOING THIS!? YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD TAKE YEARS! BUT I'M DOING IT IN MINUTES! I'M A PRODIGY OF FAILURE!"
"Let's see what I can find."
Search for piton style grappling hooks that can punch into solid steel. Include those with a power retract system, as well as those without.
((By power retract, I mean it can haul you up.))
They pretty much all have "Haul-you-up'ems"
So we got a few major models here: We got one that is powered by highly pressurized gas, so it's very cheap but also single use. We got one that is magnetically driven, so more expensive but multi-use. They can both use two types of ammunition; specifically a standard spike and a more advance spike that permanently attaches to what it hits. The permanent one means having to carry ammo for it, but also means a much more reliable attachment.
Try again. Same scenario, with the enemy running around, first fire with the bullet time mode activated, then without it. Compare.
[Con:4-1+1]
You hit without issue.
[con:3-1]
You miss completely.
Basically,it's a dynamic bonus to certain things.
Change settings to space defence have Modern forces be able to use any tech that has been developed, cancelled or being developed before 2012. Including the Strategic defence initiative and the space ship projects like Project orion to stop Hexbarax from being invaded. If not succesful have the Altered Invaion force fight against defences made up of forces from Blue Gender, UWM, Aliens and 21st forces made up of abrams challengers and any prototype vehicles thought of by america or the USSR.
"This will be wierd."
((Hopefully you wont get confused. Also Apocalyptica is awesome.))
Well, they wouldn't be able to stop them from getting there, but they would be able to stop them once they're there. I mean, just UWM forces did that. I'm not really sure what the rest of those groups would add to the attack to be honest. Blue gender mechs would be helpful but tanks and prototype vehicles are a bit of an unknown to me. I suppose if we consider the trinity device a prototype things could get interesting.
