There are a few simalarities that came to my attention while i was readying the story about Shogo MAD. The section
about the city in the Cavern, with the buildings suspended from the ceiling with a new sort of building fiber, reminded
me of how the cavern in Neon Genisis Evangelion had buildings that were suspeded from the ceiling. The excerpt
from the Shogo Story reads...

"For all its self-imposed glory, Maritropa wasn't the utopia it pretended to be, though. The lower sectors of the city
eventually began to fall into disrepair as the aristocracy moved to the Canopy Section, a series of buildings
suspended from the cavern ceiling. Using a material called Stion™ (developed by Armacham) which becomes highly
tensile when charged with an electrical current, engineers devised a support structure with a tremendous load-bearing
capacity. The view from the slums affords an ironic perspective of the hierarchical structure of Maritropan society. "

From the Anime Series Neon Genisis Evangelion (which the shogo team said they got insperation)
there is a city, Tokyo 3 to be exact that is a battle fortress. When the city is under attack, the
buldings descend on hydrolic platforms, into a enormous cavern under the city. This cavern , which
was also the headquarters for NERV, was found there as the first sign of the Angels presence on
the Earth.

I just thought this might lead into some insight.

P.S. I had Babagges hold a copy of Shogo for me, and i had but a $10 dollar downpayment on it.
And yesterday i recievad a call that i could go pick it up and pay the balence, and get the game.
This suprised me due to the release day being a few days away. So today i went to the mall and
payed the rest of the $40 dollars i owed, and got the game. My friend and i then went into
Electronics botique to find Shogo for $29. So i promptly returned Shogo at Babagges, and bought
it at EB. I told Babagges that i had a Mac, and didn't realize it was a PC game.

You wanna see a REAL eva similarity? Go look at some of the posters.
Some of them have a girl in what looks like an Eva suit and the NERV
logo with 'Nerv' replaced with 'CERV'. ;)

Aum Shiva, all hail eris, principia discordia, and all that
other fun stuff.
I don't mind anarchy, just so long as it's done in an organized
fashion.
