    Yeah, yeah, getting used to it...

    Not going because I help to organize a gaming con in Montreal the week-end before AND I'm spending 4 days in Vermont (for CarnageCon) at the beginning of November.

    If only they had announced the dates for HeroCon earlier in the year...
  2. Good luck with your computer problems, Smite.

    I have a level 20-ish Claw/Nin Stalker (by the name of Kuro Ran) that would like to be in on the Pirates strike force.
  3. is Da Man With Da Plan when it comes to rushing those pesky Riktis...
  4. Happy B'lated B'Day, Korith !
  5. Back to working late evenings next week, so anyone can take the spot I had today...

    Yay! We have a full team! Woo!
    The only toon I have in the 44-50 range is my lvl 50 tanker, Kreetch, so he's going to be the "whatever toon".

    Is there a costume theme ? So far, I've make Armored Kreetch, XMas Kreetch, Kreetch in civvies, Retro Kreetch, Skeletor Kreetch and... Naked Kreetch ?
  7. Writing from waterlogged Montreal, Quebec, Canada: Summer is over ? What summer ?

    I even heard 2 weather commentators on TV declaring that "Summer will start on August 11th" (today), simply because we're supposed ("supposed" ahem) to get 7 days without rain.

    Dismal, simply dismal...
  8. Although I do not personally know him, it has been reported to me that Major T is one outstanding fellow...

    Kid Rock - American Bad ***
    Foreigner - Juke Box Hero
    Saliva - King of the Stereo.
    None of those songs scream "Rastafari-Man's show" to me, so meh.

    My advice: keep the one you already used (the Eminem one, I believe); through repetition it will eventually be associated to your show.

    EDIT FOR: OK great, Thanks Archiviste - and thx for "teaching me to fish" as well.

    Or could I have a chat, turn on logging later in the same play session, and the original chat will be saved?
    As far as I know, it only start recording once you turn it on.

    But someone originally helped me set it up so it linked directly to the post itself, whereas all I was able figure out how to do was link to the page the post was on.

    Could someone please help me get it back the way it was?

    I can find the page again if that helps, just let me know.
    I'm a fan of the Rude Tells thread as well, so here's your link:
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...postcount=1033

    One of the nice things about this forum platform is the fact that each post number (found in the top-right corner of the post) is a link to that post. Makes linking easy...

    But seriously folks...

    I have to admit, to my undying shame, that it took me over 10 months (NCsoft master account created in August 2004, City of Heroes account created in May 2005) before I took the plunge and started playing CoH.

    Which means I'll probably give "those OTHER hero games" a try as soon as, let's see, April 2010... if they're still around by then...

    So who's going?

    Might go see both Harry Potter and GI Joe back-to-back Saturday Night...
  16. ImageMagick for Windows is a port of the Unix/Linux version, so a lot of the functions are command-line based...

    Now, before you go "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Command Line!!!!!!!", I can show you in a simple few steps how to use it.
    1. Open a Shell window. The easy way is to go to Start / Run, and type "cmd" in the small window there, and click "OK". Voila - a black Shell window !
    2. Go to the folder that contains the images you want to put together as an animation, "cd c:\<path to my folder>"
    3. Make sure ImageMagick is installed properly (d'oh) by typing "convert /?". If you see some text listing all the different parameters that convert can take, you're good to go. Don't worry, we'll only use 2 of those parameters.
    4. Type: "convert -delay 9 -loop 0 <1st_image.jpg, 2nd_image.jpg, etc> animated.gif".
      "-loop 0" means the animation will loop on forever, "-delay 9" means there will be a pause between switching to the next image.
    5. Try different values until you're satisfied with the final product.
    Any questions ?

    That'll be $35.00 + TX (Canadian, of course...)

    NPWN Updates

    Depending on the date and time (me and my Franken-schedule at work...) I'll be happy to give a hand to the next NPWN.
  18. ... and when you get tired of the cybering catgirls on Virtue and of the mewling brats on Freedom, you could give Protector a try: nice cozy little server, a bit the worse for wear lately (the admins forgot to feed the hamsters...), but with a nice crowd of players.

    Here, have a look at our server thread: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=615

    I am a Canadian playing on a US server, and even if French is my native tongue, I would not really care for a transfer to Vigilance.

    I have nothing against my French collegues, but like most of my fellow Quebec gamers, I am quite fluent in English and used to playing "dans la langue de Shakespeare" as most gaming material over here is cheaper in English than in French.

    (En fait, j'en profite frequemment pour faire paniquer mes collegues de Protecteur en leur lancant des phrases dans la langue de Molière sur le canal Jello Shooters... "Mais qu'est-ce qu'il dit? Mais qu'est-ce qu'il dit??" )

    Also the 4-5 hours difference between Quebec and France might be a problem...

    Nonetheless, I agree than a Spanish-language server could be a good idea. Now, on which side of the Atlantic should it be located?
