Tilda Swanson is sheer perfection in her scene. -
The words, they mean something but when put together meaning goes out the window!

Quote:Funny thing with greek prefixes, one little letter can change the whole meaning. For example, "deci" is one tenth of, "deca" is ten times as many. So what you meant to say in your id est up there was actually "deciliter would indicate a tenth of liter" and not ten liters, which would have been a decaliter.Hmmmm....
Deci - prefix, a defining form meaning "tenth" ie- deciliter would indicate ten liters
Still, funny for comedic purposes.
To the OP: words evolve with time and usage. We are not living in Roman times which means that, although decimate used to have only the meaning you ascribe to it, it evolved into all new other meanings on par with nowadays cultures. That is what is great about polysemy. Embrace it and have fun. -
That particular scene is supposed to evoke Eve and the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, I think.
Glenn Close gave me the chills, liked some of the others but most are more a display of anger/wrath than a touch of evil. -
Nothing like some Afternoon Delight I always say.

I would love for this to be true, but as someone who also has a Premium account, I can say that yes, I have access to AE but I get no reward drops while running missions in it. Last I read about, think there were plans to make AE rewards only available for VIP (might be wrong though). I'm at T4 on my Preep account.

Thinking Baumton would be a cross between Steel Canyon and Skyway, but without all the highways.

I've got 6 days to go and I third the "for the love of all carrots, no more friggin' DJ!!!" sentiment.

Don't think any game assets ever get erased, never know when you're going to need them. We're getting the Echo of Dark Astoria with I22. Guess the RCS and the old Faultline could make an appearance also.
Just don't get your hopes up: Faultline was a mess of gullies, deep pits and CoT waiting to gank you and the RCS was a lot of rubble with nothing but Rikti all over. -

Tip drops are currently wiffy, to say the least, if you try to collect them by street sweeping. I do one radio/paper mission on a -1x8 setting and before I get to the middle of the 1st map my cup runneth over.
So, the key here is, no sweeping, do missions. -
Quote:From the screen shots put out so far, there's a total of 205 cards. At 5 cards per pack, it takes a minimum of 41 packs to collect everything. Considering the Devs have stated that you cannot get any repeats over different buys of the pack (that is if you have a certain piece, that piece won't be coming in any other pack you buy), unless consumables get to ignore this rule, I'd say it's pretty much less than any of those scenerios for the other game.Saying $1 is cheap is a pretty meaningless statement. A lottery ticket is also $1, and it's a pretty effective tax on stupidity.
Here's an interesting parallel. That other game also has 'super packs'. They coincidentally cost 80 points (and wow, their points cost the same amount as ours). They have exclusive costume pieces and powers in them. In testing, it was reported that it took one person 75 packs to collect all ten costume pieces. It took another 90 packs. One person went through 250 packs without getting the powerset.
$75. $90. $250.
That's not cheap by any reasonable standard.
I challenged Z to give us the exact odds for the packs, or commit to doing so when the odds were set. As I expected, this was ignored.
Is there any reason to believe that Paragon Super Packs aren't going to screw the customers?
Just have to wait what the pricing for these will be. -

Does this mean we can finally have proper therianthrope costume parts? Please?
I've been craving a head for some years now. -

So... why only 86/100?

Thanks Tony. Wishing I could go for 12 months but alas, I appear to be part of the red headed stepson group that only has "6 month plan" option available... meh, better than a poke in the eye with a blunt spoon I guess.

So when you say "morning", you mean morning over there and not over here don't you?
Darn your cruel teasing! Darn it! Darn it to high heck and back!
Been waiting for a decent pair of chaps for a while now. Guess I can wait 8hrs more. -
What they (Equation and Aggelakis) were suggesting was running the Shadow Shards various TF to unlock this. Which pretty much means you'd have to go at least Rogue to get. And that was what I was replying to.

Just think of the invading force as the Rikti and the defenders as Alpha team... and try not to cringe at the music.
