Code crunching is a matter of knowing the programming language and formulation, then going back to find logic errors and GIGO
There is no set program for writing. You can get ideas and outlines from a book, but everyone has to work out the final how-to's and wherefores by their lonesome. Or get sued for plagiarism. Some people can sit down and pound out 30,000 words before lunch, then go for a walk and get hit by a van. Others? Not so much -

Been there, done that.
Although it was more like sixty pages, and took about three days.
And embarrassment is for those with shame...
Me? Yeah, I've been published in some amateur journals. Never had anyone pay me, not claiming to be any great shakes, not currently pursuing writing as a career
just done it enough to know it ain't easy -

You're on. The week will start tomorrow, and I will post it next Saturday (if not sooner). 20 pages (or more), 12 pt Times New Roman font, 1" margins, 6pt above/below for spacing. I'll put it up on my server so folks can download it.

but you weren't exactly my intended target, as I already support Nerd Flirting
You have no need to prove your writing skills. U HAZ DEM!!!!!111!! -
Well said Sam
Please, all of you who think writing is 'easy', write a 20 page short story that involves the Freedom Phalanx yet has NOTHING to do with any toon you've ever created
Do it in one week, and let us read it (if you wouldn't die of embarrassment)
If you can do it, by all means pursue writing as a career. If not, stop calling it 'easy' -
who cares about either one, really?
my computer gives me easier access to pr0n
they can go hang -

I think you have a low standard on what is important prior to your own death.
You know, death isn't really a hardy har har subject.

Sad to think of heathenism as a refuge for racists and supremacists
My Norse ancestors were all for letting women have property rights and leadership responsibilities. They traded with any and all, mingling their DNA throughout the world
Deeds, not words, make you known -
Gratz! to all the winners

Quote:Just wanted to point out that none of our heroes gives a rat's-patootie about anything that goes on in another dimension unless it effects Paragon City. We'd be trading cookie recipes with Praetoria if Tyrant weren't preparing to invade.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
That's not quite on the same scale as creating a world-wide dictatorship that's so repressive that even your thoughts are monitored
According to you, there are no right sides
How noble of our heroes to not go to war with a other dimensions where worse things are happening. Like, say, the Psychic Clockwork King is wiping out all of humanity? You've played the Portal Corp arcs. You KNOW that the Phalanx doesn't oppose any tyranny unless it's planning to invade us. Please, start reading between the lines and looking at more than the four basic colors -
Quote:And Statesman crashed a Rikti mothership into a civilian subdivision. Evil? Manticore funds an army of deadly vigilantes to do his bidding. Evil? Ms. Liberty controls a corpse of elite soldiers that use weapons of mass destruction in the middle of at least two major world cities. Evil?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Tyrant will be shown to be evil by the end of the GR content
Admit it GG. There's PLENTY of evil to be found in the hearts of the CoH good guys. Let's not try to make it a child's game of 'cowboys and indians', where we cheer for the wrong side -
Quote:I'll say this again GG: There are no pure heroes or undiluted villains. Everyone has their dark sides and their grand plans. Both in this game and the Real WorldOriginally Posted by Golden Girl
Well, Tyrant doesn't have a goatee, and they haven't even given him a moustache to twirl, so that means he might be not so obviously evil at first - he'll probably grow a moustache as the storyline progresses and you uncover the truth about him
It's true -
Quote:I already have that video in my "favorites"Originally Posted by CaffeineAddict
Ruh roh.
I was just on youtube looking for player made CoH fan videos.
Someone has uploaded something that *looks* like it came from a super secret family-and-friends closed beta...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KANI2dpXLw
Speaking of which, let the speculation over when the general closed beta will commence, commence!

the REAL kicker is that Tyrant is only a problem if he's planning to invade OUR world
poor guy is just never satisfied

Quote:But doesn't it sound like a great endgame raid?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
As long as he doesn't morph into the Hamidon like Council Archons turn into Warwolves - it'd make fighting him a bit annoying.

Quote:Wouldn't quite make sense, as Hami would've just wiped humanity out. What sounds more plausible is that the Korean War nukes created Hami and fused him with Tyrant at the same time. That would provide Tyrant/Hami with the motivation to kill off part of the human population so that the rest would submit to willing servitude. Allowing them to be forever watched and controlled while Tyrant/Hami cleanses the world of their pollutionOriginally Posted by Zombie Man
Hamidon psychically controls Cole.
You heard it here first.
Win for Tyrant! Win for Hamidon! -
Quote:OK, we get the subtext:Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Yes - Tyrant's idea of a utopia has no free thought allowed - very heroic and just
Tyrant could very well have been in league with Hamidon to bring the world into a more orderly rule
He kills anyone with power if they can't be at least 90% trusted
But if you're a normal person who never does anything worse than fapping around? You're life is golden
The only reason to oppose him would be if he were trying to expand his rule to our world

This game still stands head and shoulders above every other MMO I've tried
Sad to think that it arrived as the popularity of comic books dipped to an all time low. It might have had 11 million subscribers had it debuted in the 1965 - 1979 Silver/Bronze age period when comics were breaking new ground in quality and popularity. Shame that history and technology didn't mesh at all for that
and D_R, your Reichsman costume is still millions of times better than the in-game one

Gratz everybody!
Hope you all enjoy another great round of Musical Chairs! -
It's not so much DOOM as constant frustration. If NCSoft even showed some minor interest in promoting this game it would go a long way to alleviate the gnashing of teeth caused by the deafening GoRo silence
Buy a page in the comics! Insist that they explain what COH is during an episode, instead of just having that meaningless prop sign on a set wall! If the publicity department isn't drumming up business it's not living up to it's professional responsibilities!

If they'd have offered free rename tokens, I'd have been better served this month
But that's my own fault for being indecisive. Plus there are no toons that need moving on my accounts
