Actually i think the werewolves are a refrence to something else. In the cyberpunk 2020 adventure book supliment “tales from the forlorn hope “there’s a adventure where you go to Eastern Europe and fight some genetically engineered werewolves.
0:05 It's clear that Maximum Mike is talking about Spider Murphy here. Female? Before the DataKrash? Not known to be dead? One of the best netrunners in the world? Yeah. Spider Murphy. Especially with MM's connections in the lore. Which makes… this all the more frightening when you consider someone of Spider Murphy's credibility saying this. She knew Bartmoss. She talked with him. She's been netrunning since the beginning.. If she says the Blackwall knows Aramaic… which nothing is more frightening than something talking in a millennia-old dead language… and that there's more going on than we realize… Well… I'm inclined to believe what the character has to say.
I love that Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the Cyberpunk universe, is a self-inserted conspiracy theorist. I don't think of Maximum Mike as a conspiracy theorist though, I think of him as an outlet for the creator to deliver some deep lore to us, the players.
What he says about the Klimt exhibit and real art being kept on Luna made me think of the Space Oddity side gig. Maybe Maximum Mike's informants really know some stuff.
Mike playing as a tinfoiler while saying the actual lore he created is 10 levels of mindfuck. You dont know if you want to brush off the conspiracy theory then you remember he’s the creator of this universe.
I hope you make a video about all of Ash comments. I have that terrible luck of not hearing the story about donkey from the beginning. Always manage to tune in in the middle, or ending. Also, is it just me, or 80% of the time they begin to speak is when exiting the bike/car? I swear, I feel like it's on purpose at this point.
Lots of easter eggs throughout all of this from the original Cyberpunk 2020 RPG and onward. Some of the obvious bits.
Morgan Blackhand was Pondsmith's "signature character" representing the Solo class in many of scenarios for the original campaign/stories. That doesn't mean played by Mike. But rather cherished by Mike for what the Best of a Solo could be when going in a certain direction. Maximum Mike was in many ways a narrative tool in the original campaign/stories as well as a "secondary" recurring NPC; much like Ripper Jack (from many of the original books)
The Bozos were one of the original gangs in the RPG and had a rivalry with the Voodoo Boys (who were VASTLY different at that point)
In the "first Net" many corporations, agencies, and individuals were working on AIs with varying degrees of success.
The 4th Corporate War, where Silverhand falls, originally had Johnny (among others) gibbed by Smasher. As in, if I remember the description, effectively shot in half. – sidenote: By this point, Smasher was essentially an Arasaka Full Conversion Borg, custom Dragoon. What you see in EdgeRunner does NOT do him justice and in '77 by all rights, V should have fallen, easily, at the end of the main story. – Morgan eventually squares up with Smasher as Smasher effectively gives no choice to solve the one-sided rivalry and question of: Meat v Metal. Both fall (MIA)
During the 4th War, Rache Bartmoss' meat is rendered moot… it is unclear if he "survived" through his own work, Alt intervention (via SoulKiller), or there is a construct (his or something else emulating him) that persists. Post Krash, AIs are destroyed, divided, consumed, and born regularly on the other side of the Black Wall.
Those kids referred to with the rumored weird abilities? Survivors of the Carbon Plague and a spinoff of the "Ended" 2020 story arc in an RPG called "CyberGen". Alt, or a fragment of her, has a role to play in that too.
0:00 – 1:45 after that Lilith AI/ Daemon cyberpsycho encounter, the final moments of Phantom of Liberty with Songbird blackwall abilities and the fact that the author of the franchise himself is narrating this, is super plausible that "Conspiracy" theory is true, Bartmoss discovered hell and opened its doors. One of the reasons why highly supersticious gangs like the voodo boys are scared and willing to contact AI's beyond the blackwall first to get protection before it crumbles, they know whats coming.
Next Cyberpunk main theme probably is going to get a lot more different and interesting, a meeting between the paranormal and the digital
I really wish that someone would make something like this but under this premise. Zombie apocalypse survivor starts a late night radio show; just telling stories and talking late into the night, not even sure if anyone can hear him – but still he talks. He keeps going because he hopes that his voice helps some survivors not feel quite so lonely, and it gives him something to live for. With that mid-2000s radio sound, just someone to keep you company through the dark and dangerous nights.
Alan Wake almost has something like this but I haven't quite found something to scratch that itch! I love listening to this as I fall asleep though. I also put on a thunderstorm/rain loop to really give it a nice atmospheric feeling as I go to sleep.
Don’t know if it’s just an issue with my save file or just the ps5 version of the game but the radio hosts NEVER talk after the 2.0 update, I heard ash once or twice but zero mike in my entire 80 hours of 2.0 + PL 🙁
The net and net runners reminds me of the warp and psykers from warhammer 40k, where both netrunners and psykers can become extremely powerful using their respective realms, but risk their very lives doing so
Mike: I'm protected. They're never going to lay a hand on me.
Would be hilarious if they tied this into the story about a corp hiring us to take Max Mike down, only to reveal he's actually Morgan Blackhand, which is one of Mike Pondsmith's player characters.

What you say is much less important than how cool you sound saying it.
17:48 Pretty cool easter egg of the CyberGeneration source book.

These parts reminded me of 3dog from fallout 3

4:05 harder drive, anyone?
11:15 Furries if humanity wont let them yiff in peace
Why am I just now hearing this?! I'd love for this to be intercut with ads, and music used in 2077, but that's just me
Saburo using a ‘Sarcophagus’ to stay alive is deff a nod to Stargate SG1. Has to be.
I loved when these bits came on the radio. Never thought to actually just look up the compilation. I'd love for this to be a whole station.
I had never heard mike pond smith before this and I was genuinely surprised to learn it wasn’t a VA
I was sort of hoping for someone like Lazarus

He’s Morgan btw
Sometimes he sounds like H John Benjamin
In universe equivalent of God having a podcast.
Mike Pondsmith… best radio voice of all table top game designers.

Mike definitely listened to Art Bell back when he was around. Miss him.

This is so IMMERSIVE, I played this while playing Cyberpunk (as my Netrunner build, hitting gonks with BLACKWALL gateway)… I need more of this.
Did they removed this from the game?
Max Motherfuckin Mike tells it how it is maaaaan
The net and net runners reminds me of the warp and psykers from warhammer 40k, where both netrunners and psykers can become extremely powerful using their respective realms, but risk their very lives doing so
Mikey always reminded me of three dog from fallout 3, minus the annoying ass voice.

Was expecting Three Dog… awhoooo
Netrunner = Spider Murphy?
Loved the reference to Cyber Generations in there
GMs going to run the new 2077 table top game coming here doing the spongebob meme.
"WRITE THAT DOWN, RIGHT THAT DOWN!!"
Mike rules
Two years after I'm still mildly concerned about hacking with a dick :T
These radio hosts are still in the game?
Every bit of corporate exploitation makes me understand a little more why Johnny nuked Night City
Mike pondsmirh needs to start a podcast
