You continue down the docks, slightly wet after your immersion.Obnoxious Stupid:Played a GURPs game once that was set in the near future.  My PC suddenly started being pursued by a large corporation intent on controlling him (for reasons he couldn't understand since he was essentially a small time hoodlum) and started having increasingly large periods of blank time where he would do things and not remember them (like hacking into government files and banks).  Turned out I had an AI implanted into my brain, which was opperating independantly of me (hence the blank times).  It ultimately helped the GM railroad my PC into doing things I didn't want to do.  Worst part about it is that the whole setup should have been included in the characters flaws, thus allowing me to purchase benifits at PC generation to offset them.  Only redeeming part about it is that the GM now agrees the game was horrible and learned a lot from the game.</blockquote>
