A NILE Sphinx is a high end AI defensive program that appears in VR as a classic sphinx with the hindquarters and forelimbs of a lion, the wings of a falcon and the head and torso of a beautiful woman, the neon NILE Technological Enterprises logo and trademark revolving above her head. A sphinx is typically attached as a guardian program to important files or domains. Intruders are met with a logic problem that must be overcome in order to proceed. Such problems usually involve symbolic or abstract logic and might include complex VR simulations. In direct VR combat, sphinxes use their powerful claws to flay the avatars of their enemies.

We discuss Fallout 3 as well as Fallout 1 and 2. We also digress into talking about other famous CRPGs Oblivion, Morrowind, and Mass Effect.
Then we discuss the massive update to Modern20 and the upcoming gangster adventure, Modern Mayhem.
