Q: "What I'm playing when I'm not playing CoH"
A: Freecell. -
Count me in, please: Enora, lvl 31 Fire/Fire blaster.
Black tie, huh ? I had an idea for a costume, but it was more in shades of red...
Oh well... I'll have to create something a bit more... conservative then

Gratz to all the winners !!

I've got the cards from Janlee and Trickshooter, and the... "package" from Golden Ace.
Y'know, G.A., just one cyanide pill was enough, you did not have to send 2 dozens...

Specifically those of you who live in Quebec / anywhere that is considered in the Ottawa Senators market…
And apart from maybe Gatineau, most of Quebec is DEFINITIVELY not considered to be in the Ottawa Senators market…

Quote:What, you don't know DC's "The Wizard" ? Member of the original Injustice Society, he once caused Clark Kent to forget he was Superman for a whole year (or at least that's what the story says...), and was one of the mind-wiped villains in the more recent "Identity Crisis".Originally Posted by Zekiran_Immortal
Because they're both simply nouns. Hawk of Hawk and Dove would require full costume and backstory to be infringement. And in 13 years of running a comic store, I've never seen "Wizard" in marvel, dc or archie... maybe a very background character, but certainly not one that would warrant any infringement lookover.
Zek, I'm truly disappointed in ya...

Yes, this is true.

I've got a handful of names I've saved on this server that I don't need.
I'd like these names to go to a better home that will get some use out of them. So, I'd like to propose a trade.
If you have a name you'd like to trade or have some in-game stuff you'd trade for one of the names on the list below, let me know.
Sierra
Diamond
Matrix
Wizard
Hero
Hawk
Samurai
Viking
Exo
Fairy
If I don't have any interest in the names maybe I'll give the names away in a themed costume contest "The best themed 'Fairy' costume wins the name".
Send me a PM if interested
@Macro
How did you get "Wizard" - a character at Marvel, DC, and Archie Comics - and "Hawk" - a character both in G.I. Joe and DC comics ? Whoever is checking for copyrighted names was sleeping on the job that day ?
Just curious, that's all... -
FYI, I am no longer PERC Representative for Protector.
That is all. Carry on. -

Can anyone suggest a good defragmentation application? The one built into XP is kinda lacking.
Thanks in advance.
Oh! You said "de-frag"...
Well, this site seems to have quite a bit of info about defragmentation tools:

Time for me to fuel this thread...
I started to play mostly on Protector for a very prosaic reason...
When I bought the game in mid-2005 (CoH DVD Edition for 10 bucks, remainder bin at FutureShop, IIRC...), I had 2 friends who were playing at the time (everyone else were - and still are - playing WoW): one on Virtue, one on Protector.
One of them quit the game soon after (Real Life took over...), the other helped me get acquainted with the game (even the time he left my lvl 12 blaster stranded in Independence Port after he D/C'd counts as me being "acquainted with the game"...), and when he left, donated a few mills to my toons to get me going.
Guess which one was on Protector ?
As for the reason I still play 99.9% of the time on Protector, it's even more unglamorous...
With the few hours I play (2-3 hours per week in average), and the low number (0) of people I know outside the game that are interested in CoH, I simply don't feel the need to play on more than 1 server. So, Protector is my server by default, simple as that...
(Putting on the flame-retardant suit, just in case...) -
Quote:The Humpty Dance, by Digital UndergroundOriginally Posted by Major_T
The song is called "Look" by Bounty Killer. I guess it is more obscure than I thought it was.
This one should be far easier...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I'm steppin' tall, y'all,
and just like Humpty Dumpty
you're gonna fall when the stereos pump me.
I like to rhyme,
I like my beats funky,
I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy.
I'm sick with this, straight gangsta mack
but sometimes I get ridiculous
I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
hey yo fat girl, c'mere--are ya ticklish?
Yeah, I called ya fat.
Look at me, I'm skinny
It never stopped me from gettin' busy
I'm a freak
I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
I'm crazy.
Allow me to amaze thee.
They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me.
I'm still gettin' in the girls' pants
and I even got my own dance
I prefer the Weird Al version...
My turn:
This is definitely a song about loneliness...
Let's just say a farmboy from,
Well, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia,
He might feel that he should do something different than his daddy did,
Farming, fishing, coal mining,
You know what I mean,
Not that he's not proud of his daddy,
But the big city has a way of luring a country boy,
He wouldn't be there all too long before he'd get himself a pretty good job,
You know what I mean,
A factory somewhere,
Might even work himself up to be foreman someday, you can never tell,
That still don't help his loneliness,
See a man like that needs a good woman,
Oh, he'd find himself a woman pretty quick all right,
Some city girls like the way a country boy treat them,
They'd get themselves an apartment, you know,
25th floor, apartment 2505,
You know what kind I mean,
They'd live real well there for quite some time,
He'd be bringing home the big bucks,
Wouldn't be, a year maybe,
He'd be coming home from a couple hours' overtime,
He'd make that long anxious walk down that short corridor,
Go in that door and then he'd see it,
That note,
You know what kind of note I mean,
"Dear John, I'm gone",
A man like that, had his whole world fall right down in front of his face,
He'd find himself at 4 o'clock in the morning,
Down at the nearest railroad station,
He don't really care where he goes,
He don't really want to go home to Cape Breton yet,
Something about country boys,
They don't like to go home a failure...
You know what I mean.
(And the song has not even started yet...)
