  1. You can play in on Beta. Looks kinda cool.
  2. For hard targets, what's better? The -MaxHP Degenerative or the +Fire Reactive?

    Also, Cimerorans still the best damage dealing pets?

    Thanks, yall. If you'd like to show your work, you know I'll read it.

    Can ya guess why I wouldn't have known that?

    I'm not remotely surprised that you completely missed the point.

    It's ok to be sad but come on...
    Oh c'mon, they'd be the last five. Maybe skipping the second diaper period is a good thing.

  8. Can't tell you how many times my wife and I have had that exact conversation.
  9. It's Friday. Tonight there will be Jack&Cokes followed by Guinness Extra Stout and many hours of killing bad guys. I may even play my dark armor/stone melee tank.

  11. It will always amuse me how threads evolve around here.
  12. I ran through all the DA arcs solo at x8 on BZB v2 over the last two nights. Unlocked all my characters. Ran some lowbies around. Looks like I'm going to get as much playtime in as possible before the end as one last dive into the abyss.

    Went through a similar situation when I knew the end was nigh for my mastiff, Bella. What could I do but love on her as much as possible before having to let her go? I certainly wasn't going to ignore her.

    That would be FUN to see.

    And an hour and a half later, all these fading citizens surrounding the triumphant BillZBubba... whereupon he looks about... and says...

    "What... that was it?!"

    At that moment, every single Hero and AV possible transport in, surrounding the cigar smokin' demon. Bill looks about... sighs mightily in exasperation... or is it contentment?... and gets to work.

    <Fade to black just as he starts in, zooming out... end scene.>

    /Yep. That'd be epic.
    Damn skippy. What better way to go out?

    Edit: I reran all the DA arcs over the last two nights. That final Dream Doctor mission, kill 200 BP, then 7 Ravagers plus their spawns just to get in the door... now THAT is a mission to run at x8.

    Based on what I just read, the answer is:

    For the local single player instance: Yes.
    For community servers: Yes, if the community server host decides to go that way or No, if they don't.

    I like it. Folks like us would join the communities that don't care if you team or not while others would join the communities with lots of forced teaming.
  15. I'm still waiting for the night that I log in to see every NPC in the zone suddenly stop walking, slowly turn to face me, eyes glowing, screaming, "DIEDIEDIEDIE" as they con purple and attack.
  16. Thought I saw someone mention in globals that a bunch of NPCs had shown up at City Hall as well.

    May we live in interesting times.

  18. I copied from Live to Beta and unlocked 7 slots on Beta as a non-VIP. Not able to see at the moment if that's still the case.
  19. And my dad saves my brain again: Advent!
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure
    Played it on his Heathkit back in the early 80s. Text only rules!
  20. I don't think I have any "crowning moments of awesome." I wasn't the first to solo a pylon or complete the original rikti crash site challenge or the newer war zone challenge. I don't even think I was the first claws scrapper to solo an AV. Certainly wasn't the first scrapper to survive a team wipe and save the day.

    I just looked good doing those things.

    Seriously, thank you for the heads up. Wing Commander was the shiz.
    Don't forget Privateer. Found that tweaked version for my dad (73 year old dad) when he offhandedly mentioned he missed playing it. He was very happy. Runs fine in Win7.

    Like First Person Shooters?

    Half-Life 2 (including Episodes 1 & 2)

    You can thank me later.
    I've played all of those except Planescape. Got anything released since 2005 by chance?
