It worked against McCain too, this cheap way of cornering the young vote. I even know some actual adults who fall for it.

    Windows 8

    Every other MS OS I avoid like the plague.

    DOS, good.
    95, crap.
    98SE, good.
    Millennium, crap.
    XP, good.
    Vista, crap.
    7, good.

    I think we can gather the worth of 8.

    Your "hope" long ago passed into full blown delusion, didn't it?
  4. EK's statement about a novel of a last post made me remember writing this one when I thought I was done for good.

    It's time-stamped 11/29/2010. Almost exactly two years before this game is being shut down. Seems more fitting now than ever.
  5. Yall's good people, houtex.

    (Yall's ... I should use that more often.)

    Moved on yet posting on the forum.

    I don't think you understand the meaning of "moved on."

    Agreed. If the time gates had been set per arc instead of per day and used the same drop tables as the itrials, I'd have been quite content.
  8. Ahhh, the DA solo grind. So much fun getting a common, two astrals and 10 threads every night after running an arc three times or three different ones. Oh, wait, that's not been fun at all.

    As we get closer to doomsday, I'm finding myself at a complete loss on where I'm going. It appears that the answer is nowhere. No other MMO interests me in the least. I have no expectation that the plan z initiative will get anywhere after reading those forums last night.

    In the end, it'll just be the end and I'll play single player games.
  9. Get the original cast to do the voice work and I'll call it shiny.
  10. Love this thread. It allows me to enjoy energy melee and peacebringers without headaches.
  11. What temp are you keeping that room at? You keeping sunlight out? Other than that... right the hell on, man.

    How many would be willing to run an emulator given the opportunity? (This questions assumes no significant technical or legal hurdles exist.)
    Willing is one thing. I have the hardware to host but my internet connection sucks with its 1.5Mbps up speed. Wouldn't take more than a handful of people to clog that right up.

    Edit: Ya know... the more I ponder it, I have no idea how much data we pull from the CoH servers while we play. I've never checked.
  13. As I enjoyed both Witchers and played the old pen and paper Cyberpunk, I appreciate the heads up.

    That was enough of a let down. I'd rather not be disappointed like that again.
  15. Got a little verklempt there at the end with the disconnecting countdown.

    Early CoH Comics

    I had to laugh that Street Justice WAS added to the game and you do get to knee 'em in the jimmy regularly.
  17. The connection to the store is buggy. It seems that a log off and closure of the application, then logging back in clears it up for most folks.

But while everyone I know has one or a few characters like that, almost all of them were far bigger on alts than I was. Even the power-gamer types.
    Agreed. My main is the only one fully IOed and incarnated... twice... but I've got 23/23 slots used up on Pinnacle and I've deleted at least 20 times that number over the years.


    And Dark Respite? I let my sub drop for vastly more time than I paid in over the last two years, so I'll take some blame and get stoned with you.
  21. City of Heroes is the only MMO I've enjoyed playing. That's unique.
  22. Nice. Got my street justice/willpower brute to 32 last night. He wears a black t-shirt, jeans and combat boots. Natural is fun.
