This isMirror’s Edgewith waypoints. During an E3 2015 demo, I saw an introductory scene in which Faith is detained....

Hacking group “Fail0verflow” — the same group thathacked the PS3five years ago — has taken advantage of an exploit in the PlayStation 4 to start messing about under its knickers, which is to say I myself know little about hacking and its parlance, but a lot about doing sex stuff.

‘Play Freestyle!’ Everywhere I looked, my peers seemed to be having fun. Mere minutes before, everyone couldn’t stop talking about how cold that Santa Monica rooftop was. It was the opposite of fun. Now, that had melted away, a distant memory that really wasn’t all that distant. It might’ve had something to do with the suddenly functional heat lamps, or it could’ve been the mass of people simultaneously releasing their inner rock star....
