  2. I really REALLY wish they would air this on Sat night instead of Sun....time doesn't work with having to be up at 5am on Mon and all.

    Will have to find some other means to watch I suppose.
  3. I find it kind of Funny, but I grew up in a city that has some of the the heaviest concentration of Indian immigration in Canada. I already knew a lot of the various ethnic touches they added
  4. I really wanted to like it....really I did...but it just bored the crap out of me and I found I didn't give a damn about any of the characters involved.

    Setting the new series during the first Cylon war is a much better idea IMO.
  5. Enjoying it myself as well....I've even gotten past the fact that they've ignored several years of previous EU lore from Comics/cartoons in regards to the clone wars.

    Very much agreed (two little ones myself).

    They may have been...I can only really recall an episode or two of each really. Didn't think they were on for all that long .
  8. Wow...a lot of the 80's-90's seemed to be "take a previously sucessful franchise and turn them into Babies". Not a HB cartoon but I think the only time that worked was Muppet babies.

    Also...don't think I've heard of at least half of the 70's & 80's ones (50s & 60s are pretty much classic pop culture now).

    Also love that just about any fad in the 80's got it's own show (can somewhat recall the Rubik show...they gave it a face....creepy)
  9. Always the first thing that pops into my head when someone asks this.

    True....it's not as if Olivia has fans because of her massive knowledge of geek culture. She's just a kinda funny pretty face.

  13. Can't believe I've been playing this game for six years...

    To put it in perspective...I was single when I started, now I'm married with two beautiful daughters, nice home etc...

    My best memory has been this community, still the best out of every other MMO I've played.
  14. Makes me look back....

    I was single & living in a basement apartment when I first got involved with this game almost 6 years ago, I'm now married with two kids & living in a house that we own and yet I'm still here playing (though not nearly as much as I'd like...lack of free time and all )

    Canada's hero is named Ol' Maple-Face. Trust me on this
    Canadian Super hero?...My favourite is Tim Horton .
  17. This thread got weird.....

    COH Mythbusters

    Using a Yellow insp then hitting Aim & Buildup sets your Acc so high that it resets to zero.

    ...it just feels true sometimes .
  19. Layered shoulder pads....when I first I saw them in CoV Beta I instantly knew that's what most of my characters were missing .

    I also tend use the tucked in Cargo pants with Combat boots a lot, the Enforcer Visor as well.

    Out of the 5 level 50 MM's I have , I find Bots/dark to be the most Powerful after level 32. Not the most damaging MM I have, but the sheer survivability of the set is insane compared to other archtypes. Also don't underestimate the + Regen you, your fluffy and your Assault bot can dish out. I don't have the exact numbers, But I believe you and fluffy's heal will each do -50% regen, and one of the Assault bots attacks reduces it by 1000% when it hits. You can look around the forums and find a few videos of Bot/dak's soloing GM's.

    I slotted my MM with sets that would boost def, took no travel power or hasten. off the top of my head, with Protector bots bubble I have 60% S/L def, 42% Range 39% melee/AoE def, and with all the -tohit you have at your disposal..... This was about a 200-225 mil build.

    The only drawback is it can be very boring to play, even on test with 8 man spawns of Malta set to +2 my level /yawn.

    Very much this....My Bots/Dark was my first villian, still my favourite, you feel like an unstoppable army at times after level 32. Other Pet sets will do more damage overall but none match the overall survivability of Bots, I can't actually remember the last time I had to re-summon due to a pet defeat.
  21. .8 is a little harsh for a group that gives themselves dull pain and can Rez (Freaks can be a pretty big pain in the 20's as well) but agreed that the reduction was a long time coming....are there any groups left that actually give higher than standard xp? I'm thinking everything in the shadow shard should at least be double.
  22. There's enough advertising in every aspect of our lives....No need to ad more here.

    I believe it's been pretty much that way since Beta, the amount of things that were supposed to kill this game have been amazing....

    Smoke Grenade fix (yes fix, not nerf, it was broken as hell)
    Purple patch
    CoV
    ED
    AoE limits
    AE

    Etc....

    It's actually pretty fun to look back at this stuff The playerbase just seems to get more stable
  24. There was a lot of talk about it when Auto Assault and then Tabula Rasa came out respectively...I think we even got a "Stay Tuned" response from one of the community reps, not that I can remember from what game mind you. Now that those two have tanked and I have little interest in Aion I'm pretty indifferent to the idea. So sure, why not?
