    you already know that I think fast too, just use it to analyze the situation around me
  2. Really now, Marc?

    It sounds like you're trying to ignore the game instead of playing it.

    Maybe it's because I'm 48 and enjoy concentrating on what going on in game instead of trying to keep up with the world, but I'd rather try to exceed my expectations with a toon rather than watch a cherished piece of media or partake of an out of game conversation. Reality and games just don't mix

    Mind you, I'm not opposed to new maps at all. As long as they aren't more caves! (Yeah yeah, I know, queue someone who just loves 'em.)



    Heh, the same here. There's one particular office corridor that nails practically every PuG that encounters it. It's the one with an office on each side, with a spawn in the right-hand office with the stairs and another spawn just around the next corner. I'm of the opinion that whoever designed that map had in mind that one Blaster/Corruptor who says "Hey, if I get over here, I have a perfect cone into that office and *shot in the back*." When approaching that area, I start taking private bets on who'll aggro the second group.

    For real hilarity, there's always the famous "Hasty Backpeddle", usually followed by bullets, grenades, and/or rocks. I've been guilty of it myself plenty of times.
    Ah, yes. the infamous "Two Room Trap of Doom". With all the maps and spawn points pretty much burned into my memory, the real fun of CoH/V is watching my PuG mates react to situations.

    The atmosphere of the Rogue Isles becomes much less gloomy if you can run Ultra Mode. And Ninja Run at lvl 4 means you never have to do more than glimpse at the shanties ever again
  5. And a hearty "Thank you!" to you as well
  6. My plan was always to make a KM Stalker in Praetoria and send him Blue side. And most of my Heroes will turn Vigilante while all of my Villains will become Rogues

    I want to see as much of the content from BOTH sides with as many toons as I can
  7. *golf clap*

    very nice. I have all of those already. how about removing the forum restrictions instead?

    Hello! Have some fun in an MMO again!
  9. They're going to need some CGI and film tricks to make Mjolnir seem heavier. He's wielding it like it weighs two pounds/one kilo!

    Make it look like it would shake the earth and call down the THUNDER!

    Apparently someone just put this up recently. I really love Austin!

    Edit: Crap! This is one of those picture viewers that won't let you link directly to the pic (at least I can't figure out how to do it). Just click through the pics, the pertinent one is #6.
    THAT'S the person you want to hire for redoing the tile in your bathroom!
  11. She's too busy doing...

    ...OTHER things <.<

    I assume we'll be spending a good portion of the film with "mortal Thor" trying to prove himself worthy of wielding Mjolnir and then having his major super-powered fight at the end. I find myself worrying that we're not going to see Thor as Marvel's Superman, instead getting him as a peak-human who has a magic hammer.
    Oh no! By the time he gets back to Asgard and faces Loki he will be the God of Thunder!

    At least on these boards you're just sharing your opinions about the game and AE/fanfic. Nobody thinks those opinions are rude enough to go to the trouble of doing you harm. You may have the sourest, most puckered soul on these forums, but we still like having you around
  17. So every Praetorian toon I make is going to head out as a villain?

    There's no way I'll ever help a group as selfish and awful looking as the Resistance
  18. Tag admission:

    "$10 tail is the best!" and "some mutants get tail" are mine
  19. as a member of the community in bad standing, I demand they take as much time as they deem to be needed so as to produce a GREAT expansion!

    Test it with all of your might folks! As soon as you can!
  20. Yes, the Crab Spider does good AoE damage. The only problem is that you can't scratch that itch in the armor
  21. Been here for a while. Stayed because the animations and art direction are top notch. The people are friendly and helpful, more often than not. Myself excepted

    After playing CoV for a year, I missed the sunshine so much that getting CoH was a must! And it doesn't matter if the office buildings make no sense or that I've memorized every spawn point. It's all the unexpected, wonderful things that happen in teams that makes this the game I never leave

    Thanks for years of great fun!
  22. never, ever had that problem. been running in "windowed" mode for three years and have always clicked on the upper third of the guard's shields every time

    different computers...
  23. ...or a Donar or Thunar

    any halfway Germanic tribe LOVED that guy!
