Nice montage there, Ironik! And yes, Michael Sheen very nearly stole the movie with his scenes.
-
Why don't I step foot in any AE missions, period?
Simple.
User-generated content sucks. Enough said.
If I wanted to deal with heavy-handed railroading, Mary Sue-ism, and grammar that would make every 2nd grade English teacher's head explode, I'd go read the crapton of fan-fic that's out there.
I play the missions done by the devs, because they're professionals. -
I think the devs need to roll back that patch; now people can't get online.

Weird. I had no problem at all following the plot, and actually thought it was well written. *shrugs*

*gestures with a cane made of iridescent white glass towards a window, where two... familiar figures are dancing and spinning music*
Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls if you'd be so kind.

Oh no, no spoilers here! All I'll say is that the movie amazed me; I'll no doubt go see it again this weekend. Until then, enjoy the ambiance! -
*The scenery shimmers, fluctuates... digitizes. The sky turns black, with inky clouds roiling across the horizon; the floor becomes translucent, then brightens into a cool, azure radiance. The walls are straighten and form into perfect angles, and azure lines that match the floor edge every corner. In the center of the room, a radiance forms; it collapses into the shape of a xenomorph clad in black armor, lined in the same cool blue lights as everything else. The form raises its head, and its arms skyward.*
GREETINGS, PROGRAMS! -
Wow.
Just... holy hell, this movie is amazing.
And not just with the special effects, or the music; both, at this point, were a given.
Amazing acting (especially from Olivia Wilde), amazing direction (not a single cringe-worthy moment, excellent pacing), amazing writing (not just in the scope of the picture, but in the little moments that pop up throughout the film that make the characters seem real)...
I walked out of the theater literally shocked, at just how much I enjoyed it.
I went into this movie trying really hard to tamper my expectations, because of the hype that was generated... but I shouldn't have worried.
Five out of five stars. See this movie as soon as you can! You won't regret it.

An event truly made of awesome and win!
Congrats to the newlyweds.

people have to take it, get on a team, have someone die, remember they have it and fire it off for that to happen.
That's about three steps further than most players are willing to travel for a payoff.

Kinda puts a hole in your argument there, doesn't it? -

Here's a few more that caught my eye:

Yeah, watch out for the ones that use Mind Control; if you time it right, you can Confuse them when they're trying to Confuse you, and make them use that power on their buddies! That's a riot!
Quote:NPC_Mary MacComber:
God that gets old... sometimes I wonder if the devs think I'm a masochist!Quote:NPC_Hostage_Jack Emmet:
How come people keep clearing the map except for the spawn around me, and then leaving and clearing the mission through their contact? C'mon guys, what did I do?

Hi all! Long time tanker here, though I've not really posted in this section in many years (literally!). But after returning in time for I17, I've decided I wanted to tweak my tanker's build. She's great in dealing with crowds, but not so great at tanking AVs; I'm hoping to address that a little, without changing the essence of what I love about her build now. Ran it through Mids, but I'll be the first to admit I'm no expert at number crunching, slot placement, etc. So I'm hoping y'all will point out any obvious flaws/mistakes I've made, and help point me in the correct direction.
So, without further ado:

Voila! Let me know what you think! -

I'd dare say that a lot of what happens here every day might not be so without Mr. Stan Lee, and his stories. He's one of the greats, and I fondly remember growing up reading his writing in the X-Men.
Excelsior!

Hey, who let Spartan have an idea? I thought that there were laws against that kind of dangerous stuff...

Hmm. Once I drag the funds together for a real video card for my new PC, I'll have to poke around a bit. Since I work nights, I generally play after 10pm EST (though it's on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, since that's my 'weekend'). Got plenty of red-siders to offer, if that's what you're needing.

Figures, you come back to the game and get L50 with Karnal Sin while I'm dealing with a dead PC. /em grief
Congo-rats on hitting L50 with your main, Sorah!

*shuffles in, looking really rough*

Just a large glass of water, please.
And keep them coming.
Kidney stones HURT. -

You'll have to contact a mod for that currently. The naming changes are a side-effect of merging two forums together. Somewhere out there is someone who is now Ellis_EU because of you.
