    The list was sent by email on the 25th, and your name figured on it.

    I don't know about "some people", but I know that none of my characters would qualify, even after a respec. Best of luck to him nonetheless !

    Thanks for the reminder, Zaloopa. I haven't been able to log in on Sunday night for the past few weeks, but I'll give it a try this weekend.

    So come on down and get your share of limitless aggro!

    When: Tuesday, October 30th
    When: 9PM Eastern, 8PM Central, 7PM Mountain, 6PM Pacific
    Where: Kings Row, The gate to Independence Port (The Wall)
    Who: Tanks. LOTS AND LOTS OF TANKS!
    T(h)anks for the head's up, Hyper. I'll be there.
  7. I'll probably give Champions Online another go-round after November 30th. My in-game handle is Kreetch, and my main character (at the moment) is called Cinnamon.

    I've installed Steam but did not find any games to tickle my fancy yet. Tried TF2, but too "twitchy" for me (and I find the controls to be not "keyboard-friendly" - I don't own a game controller and I don't like to play with the mouse). My handle there is "archiviste_qc" and I'm a member of Vorac's "Protector_Server" group.

    Guild Wars 2

    I will pass on Guild Wars 2.

    * I had heard stories about the way NCSoft handled (i.e. very very badly) sundowns of their games, and now that I have had a first-hand experience with CoH, I do no wish to invest in any game coming from that publisher. This is not NCSoft bashing, but simple consumer weariness.

    * The "It's gorgeous" argument usually holds for me for about, humm, 30 minutes. After that I don't notice or I don't care.

    * Severe arachnophobia here, so I tend to shy away from any "fantasy-setting" games, since most "fantasy-setting" games have spiders the size of Mack trucks. Yeah, I know there are some here too, but a) I started before Issue 6, so it was not a issue, b) I can tolerate (barely at times) robotic spiders, c) as long as I'm staying clear of the Mender Silos TF and the Jade Spider I'm good.

    Positron's Ally

    Two days of Task Force fun.

    On Thursday September 20th at 9PM Eastern/ 2AM GMT

    And

    Saturday September 22nd at 12 Noon Eastern/5PM GMT

    Join TonyV, myself and the entire Titan Network team in running the Positron Task Forces, part one and two. In the world’s biggest synchronized Positron Task Force group across all the City of Heroes Servers.

    Come with a team already formed or make yourself a PUG while you’re there!

    Take screenshots, chat with old friends, make new friends and listen to your favorite server based radio stations.
    I'll be there tonight (Saturday is more iffy); any other Protectorites care to join me ?
  11. Sent .costume and .powerCust files of my main (Kreetch) via email

    My birthday is on Wednesday, November 28th, and I would like to run one last Hamidon Raid on that day after Rush the Rikti is over. I'm asking people to bring your Incarnates, your Warburg nukes, your whatever-you-have, and join me to take out the Jell-O just one more time.

    Oh, and wear your Hamikinis.

    And prepare your fish puns.

    And...you know what? You know the drill. I'll see you there.
    Kreetch... in an hamikini... *shudders*

    He'll be there. Just remind me a few days beforehand.

    I appreciate the sentiment, Stale, but, as TonyV pointed out, there's still that 1 chance in a million that another publisher pick up the game so...

    I would hate to see you on a street corner with a cup in your hand:





    By the bye, I'll be there with both my accounts

    I'll be there for the SSTFM, but I won't be in-game tonight: I feel stunned and actually physically ill after these news. I might need to lie down...
  17. Happy Birthday, Cass !

    or as Stalemate would say...

CLARIFICATION: Number of costume sets used will probably have no bearing on the voting. What I should have said was "Try using pieces you wouldn't normally use together." My bad.
    D'oh !

    Oh well, I still like it a lot, so I'll still use it


  19. By the way, this was posted in 2010 on the ComicBookResources.com forums, so my take on it is :

    The *New* Power Couple ? Meh, been there, done that.

    Actually, I changed *all* my costume pieces to something else...

    The secret ? Keeping the same colour scheme.

    I don't know if that will fit the theme, but I'll probably re-use this homage to Jack Kirby's mythos.

    (and if you play a comic books-related MMO and don't know who Jack Kirby is, shame, shame on you !)

    Oh and speaking of re-using stuff, I found this from the last SSTFM...

  22. Arrived at Hilton Indianapolis STOP.
    Had dinner with Paris STOP.
    Surprisingly nice girl STOP.
    See y'all Saturday night STOP.
