This Custom SHODAN PC Might Already Be Sentient

Published

on

Someone has finally made a custom PC case that’s worthy of overthrowing the human race. Inspired by the malevolent AI SHODAN from the long-dormant System Shock series, this one-of-a-kind PC is emblazoned with the incredibly judgmental face of everyone’s favorite rogue AI. The attention to detail here is just ridiculous, but we mustn’t overlook the possibility that this case is too genuine, enough so that it becomes sentient and hurtles the world into a Terminator 2: Judgment Day type of situation. I refuse to die before I get my hands on Silent Hills.

The creation you can see below is the work of Tom. Tom’s a fan of the series, so last September he decided to design a custom case that accurately represented his love for the games.

Tom even made a making-of video, which you can find below.

In related news, I just realized that System Shock 2 turned 15 on August 11 and I forgot to mention it. So as a sort of belated celebration, once you think you’ve spent enough time ogling over the lovely stuff above, you should consider checking out this artist rendering of the greatest scene in the series. And feel free to share your favorite moments from either game in the comments below.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
