The vending machines that shoot out grenades. Now that I look back at it, it's just a really weird thing. You're running around in a WEC complex shooting stuff up, then you see a vending machine. You decide to use it, and KA-BLAMMO! A GRENADE flies out and injures you. Maybe it was just the...

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of adding ID3 tags to all of the No Regret MP3s, so it'll look all nice and organized. I have a small problem though; I'm uncertain of the missions in which the songs play. The only ones I can recall is Ninth plays during Mission 1, and Phil plays while you're...

The Silencer took some time out recently to transcribe the documents in our update about the artifacts uncovered after the death of the Origin Museum. Here are his results (with spelling errors correct by me): Thanks alot, The Silencer!
