I released "Low Justice" back into the wild last night. Thinking I have a better idea for a StJ character...

Wow. No offense meant, but if those two lone comments from what is normally a pretty even-tempered forums (at least, in comparison to some others) caused her to quit, she's probably better off not posting here anymore.

Quote:I was blushing because I felt stupid for not knowing that was the name, not because of what "Big O" meansThat show was awesome.
I agree that it's a strange thing to name it after, but why does Big O make you blush? -
Quote:Fair enough. I have not actually read any of them yet, so I will wait and see.That was always expected... it's also expected that those numbers will quickly drop...
Also you have to take into account conservative print runs and comic shops. Comic shops are likely buying no more than double what they usually do while they have several times that coming in to pick up titles and thus why they are selling out.
As far as 2nd issue it's in the psyche of some new people to go get them and give them the benefit of the doubt. however that doesn't mean that in the long run they will sell better and might in fact sell worse considering they aren't creating habit for most of those new reader and the old reader are leaving. -
Quote:So it is...for some reason, that made me think of something else entirely, which then made me discount it as the possibility of the name of the show.The title is right there in the pic.

Quote:Oh...but what was the show?The show Beastyle was referencing was almost a "Batman with a gun-toting butler and a female sidekick" rip-off to begin with.
Apparently this new Batman show would be ripping off the rip off.
(the one ripping off the "batman with a gun-toting butler and female sidekick"?) -

Maybe I'll listen to myself this time around. -

Really? Practically every first-run sold out at my comic store, and the second run is selling well already. Maybe I'm in a weird area....

/signed.
This is not the way you want to introduced everyone to the game. -
Foo! Welcome back.
No, you can't have my money. Dirty beggar.

My wife has had a teddy-bear-in-an-armored-suit character since the beginning of the game with X-Ray eyes, and she's never had a problem with the beams coming out anywhere else.

Quote:I see what you did there.I was recently told something by a close friend about the recent launch of Freedom that has caused me grave mental and (in some cases) physical pain. It turns out that when the developers launched this new Freedom application, they did so without first wiping out all the sound effects and music cues from the game.
Listen folks: I don't play this game to hear "power effects." Have you heard hasten lately? I just assumed that with a large influx of new and returning players, the developers would see this oversight and correct it by making City of Heroes completely muted, allowing, nay forcing, all of you to do what I do: fumble around missions looking for the last glowing objective while listening to podcasts.
Now, I'm not saying I'm going to quit over this, because that's physically impossible to do with a free to play game. And I'm not even going to stop giving Paragon Studios and NC Soft my money every month. But I will be turning up my "Literature Review For People Who Own Dogs" podcast EXTRA loud the next time I have to disarm 10 bombs as a sign of aural protest. -
Quote:Soooooo...I'm guessing you work in QA?We're all super villains, right (Golden Girl, go away)? We know what it means to be super. Everything we do is super: be it kicking puppies (SUPER kicking), eating breakfast cereal, and filing our taxes. If you're not going to be super about it, then why bother? Where's the flair? The finesse?
Today, I'm going to talk to you about not only how to submit a software bug report, but to submit a super bug report! Let's go over the basics.
* Identifying a Bug - A bug may be somewhat loosely defined, but everyone seems to agree on it meaning one thing: the software doesn't work as advertised. Don't worry about definitions, though, because they're not important. When submitting a bug report, you can submit it about anything you want, including any of the following... A feature exists but you don't know where it is. A data error is present that may as well be a program error. A feature exists but you don't know how to use it. You are using an entirely different application. And this one's my favorite: You are unable to do something that the software doesn't even claim to do.
* Ticket Title - When looking over the list of fatal errors and life-changing problems caused by their software, the developers don't really like to waste their time trying to pick through long, complicated ticket captions. When submitting a report, make sure you call it something short and easy to read, such as "bug problem" or "doesnt work." Be sure to use all-lowercase and exclude punctuation, since consistency is much easier on the eyes.
* Bug Description - In order for the developers to be able to fix the problem you are reporting, you should give some minimalist information about it. Don't be verbose or otherwise understandible--again, it's about looking through reports quickly and developers are all psychics anyway (C++ is short for "psychic"). Identify the most general aspect of the program in which you've encountered a problem, and say that the feature in its entirety is completely non-functional.
* User Information - Sometimes it's a matter of the user's computer that can cause problems. However, self-contained applications are becoming less and less about how you have your system configured and more about what operating system you are running, so be sure to mention that. For added convenience, if you're using the same operating system as the software authors, be sure to use the phrase "if that makes a difference." For example: "I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, if that makes a difference."
* Your Problem is Important - Last but not least, forget about everyone else. The bug you've encountered applies to you, first and foremost. Don't bother looking two or three threads down for a solution, workaround or simple acknowledgment of the same problem; just start a new report thread. After all, the simpler a problem is, and the more people who have it, the more the developers like to hear about it (they get to make the most people happy fastest with the least amount of effort).
And there you have it. Follow these simple guidelines and you too can be a super bug reporter! -
Too bad they added the spinning coins of death over the contacts to re-break the immersion
