    Thought so, thanks. Just getting into jQuery myself.

    Oh, BTW, I forwarded this to my SG's base architect and he mailed back to tell me it was "A Godsend!". Good job!
  2. These are great, I especially like the Positron one. I do think some of your costing is a little off, but no big deal.

    Also, thanks for the tip to the card design program...will have to go check that out.
  3. Very nice. May I ask what technologies you are using?
  4. Did you know that the War Walls went down once?

    For a short time there was a gap at the top of the War Wall where it meets the "sky" in Steel Canyon. Players could fly/leap over it and see what was behind the wall.

    Turns out that the silhouette of "distant buildings" you see through the Walls are literally just gray boxes.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. Despite what some of these starry-eyed dreamers on these boards would like to believe, some of us are going to be beating feet to the VIP server to get away from a significant portion of the new player base.

    However the rest of it including this gem here...kind of obliterates that IMHO.

    Good luck fighting that trailer...

    :P
    OK, OK. But, it was 1981 and I was...13, I think? Looking back on it, my memories of the movie are a lot better than the actual film.

    But, but...Andromeda

    That small fuzzy kitten can beat anyone, given enough time to plan.

    I did however think of another film...er...debacle that took itself seriously - which I think makes it a bad film with a great cast.

    Sir Laurnce Olivier, Burgess Meredith, Maggie Smith and Harry Hamlin (ok, that's a step back) I give you...

    Clash of the Titans.

    NO!

    You take that back!

    Though I would have preferred recharge debuff protection, still this is nice.
    Sorry to change the subject, but could someone please tell me what this whole "pancake" obsession is recently? I've seen:

    "Somebody pancakes in a trial"
    "I pancaking love you"
    And, the above "pancake it"

    What's up with this?

    I currently have my henchmen slotted for all dmg, should i switch that up?
    Stop sending your pets in. Set them to defensive/follow (bodyguard mode) and waltz into the spawn yourself.
  14. Went to site, perused back comics, sent all to my SG. Good stuff!

    Moopy poom!

    This x1000 if they can do it. Otherwise, I would prefer they not mess with the crashing nukes, to me they are full of comic-book flavor.

    But if you could do both...and have one in a team build and the other in a soloing build...that would be awesomesauce to me.

    It's the very, very best thing ever. My son is just about 4 months old now, and he's the reason I get up every day, and why I rush home from work.

    Don't be nervous; it's amazing how natural the whole thing is. And, this is from a 40+ year old who never thought he would have kids.

    Edit: Oh, and congratulations
  18. What is this Angry Birds I keep hearing about?

    I really should drag myself into the 21st century and get a smartphone, I suppose.

All in how you look at it, I suppose.
    The only thing that bothered me about the reboot was the fact than in EVERY other instance in the entire Star Trek universe that the characters realize that the timeline has changed, they work for the rest of the episode (oe movie, whatever) to RESTORE the previous timeline.

    This time, they just sort of look at each other, shrug and move on. Really?

    Thank you. I was going to respond with exactly that, but I was certain if I was patient and looked downthread, someone would do it for me.

    Jeez, that was the first thing I thought of too.

  23. Darmok and Jalad, at Tenagra!
  24. Do they use those same hats and blankets EVERYWHERE? That's identical to how my son was wrapped when he was born (this past April).
