    I don't think it's quite public domain, but a lot of it is part of a package that companies can buy.
  4. Great as always, however I feel I should mention that I'm worried that the flashing at one point might be a problem with people who have epilepsy...

    I don't know if it will, but it made my eyes twitch and I don't have epilepsy.

    Fox Hunting was recently made illegal.

    But my objection was mainly to the fact that I find the practice to be horrible and that I find it a shame that we're known for that abroad.

    Ugh... are we really that well know for fox hunting abroad?

    Anyway, I have quite a few characters that have diverse ethnic backgrounds, but I don't really have any that define themselves by their country.

    The thought finally hit me, That Character is going to get Genercised for Copy Right infirengment! So I deleted him instantly.
    Over reaction much? If you don't play him, no one will report him, and even if you do get reported and generic'd... well, then you're just generic'd and you'll get a new name.

    Just like real life then

    I think we mostly thought we'd be getting stuff aimed at geeks though when it started, comics, films, action figures/models, animé, geek conventions... instead we got a shoe.

    But it's only a cliché if it's trite and/or over used, not if it's just been used before or even used frequently.

    To summarise... All clichés are tropes, but not all tropes are clichés.

    Other people are having fun and I don't understand why! They must be stupid!

    In that case there is nothing that isn't a cliché then, since everything is trope.

    Indeed, and any "We can't/won't comment on it" talk is generally an admission of something, otherwise they'd just say "We currently have no plans".

    CoH2 registered?

    My guess is this. CoH2 is now in the extremely extremely early "So, let's actually talk about doing this" stage, so they've decided to register trademarks as part of that.

    I highly doubt that any actual work is being done on the project, because it would be silly to wait so long to trademark the name.
    Additionally, there's no guarantee that it will ever get off the ground.

    Having said that, I certainly hope it does and I hope it's glorious!

    I was debating which one to use, but was too lazy to look up the actual phrase.
