Nope.
I also can't view the following link:
http://newsletters.ncsoft.com/emp/co...-02-15/na.html, either on my home connection, or at work. (No browsing issues at work, either.)
I wonder if this is a 'Not in the USA' issue, given I am in Western Australia.
It's definitely not a mail client issue, 'cause I receive the newsletters at my Gmail account, which has no problems with other HTML email. I've also forwarded a few of the non-displaying emails to other of my accounts, including my work email, using Office Professional 2010. None of these accounts have any issues displaying html emails or images, except these ones from NCsoft.
Looking back over the newsletters I've received, I can see that the first one to fail to load images is:
"Unlock new endgame content in Issue 20:Incarnates" received on 2011-04-06
The last newsletter to display images is:
"Hot City of Heroes Issue 20 revelations from PAX East", received on 2011-03-17
I suspect this is not-coincidentally linked to the radical change in newsletter format/layout that happened at the same time. -

one thing that might be related is the vertical sync: enabled setting. When I turn this off, it keeps my game display from freezing up. Im using an ATI Radeon HD 5700 card.

This issue has been bugging the hell out of me for the past week or so, and just turning off vsync solved it.
I'm currently torn between pleased the issue is resolved so simply, and righteously annoyed that one little setting was making my game damn near unplayable.
Thanks muchly, Skawpya. -

Brilliant from start to finish, but the bit that really struck home?

As she turned away from Raymond and Gaussian, however, Gaussian's voice made her pause.
"Sorina..."
She stopped, but did not turn around.
"Da?"
"''For their service to Vanguard and their homeworld...'"
"'We will remember them,'" she whispered. "'And for their sacrifice...'"
"'We will avenge them,'" Gaussian finished. "Dismissed."

Psst, Turbo777, the link to your guide isn't working any more.

What, no Rad/Dark guides? Is it actually that rare?

Good luck with your future endeavours, Lighthouse, we'll miss you.

Outstanding guide/checklist.
Sorry to hear your account is running out, and I hope you'll be back in Paragon soon.

. . . you know that the correct answer to, "What should Dirk do?"

Why, he would wear white socks of course.
This would probably only make me a middle-aged gamer, but I do smile warmly any time one of my characters receives the Adamant badge, though for entirely different reasons than the devs intended.

"Don't Drink, Don't Smoke", Squez...

Why? Because of the subtle innuendos that might follow?
I guess I'm stuck unplugging the jukebox and doing myself a favor then. (And better put some wax on the tracks and slide on outta here...it's late)

Well, what else can you do when that music's lost it's taste, but try another flavour?
I must be old, 'cause that look *still* screams cool to me.

. . . your favorite game for that PC was Crush, Crumble & Chomp. (Does anyone else think we need an movie monster MMOG?)
[/ QUOTE ]
Crush, Crumble and Chomp was one of the coolest (mintest?) games availble during the 80s. I'm not sure how well a Movie Monster MMO would work, but done right it would be the niftyest thing since PopRocks.
However, there is hope for those of us craving some GiantRampagingMonsterDestruction(tm).
Octopus Motors are currently (still) working on something that looks like a worthy successor to CC&C. *crosses fingers* -

"The Jaunt" was also a Steven King short story, I think it was part of the "Night Shift" collection. It had a pretty nasty punch at the end - ever wonder what happens in that microsecond 'tween ports?
[/ QUOTE ]
Coolness. I shall have to track that one down. -
[ QUOTE ]
Jaunting was either from a Heinlen or a Aisimov story (can't remember which, read it in middle school).
[/ QUOTE ]
You are perhaps thinking of "The Stars My Destination" by Alfred Bester? (Also sometimes titled Tyger, Tyger)
This is indeed where the term 'Jaunt' for teleport came from, which is why it was used in The Tomorrow People.

How about Kimba the White Lion, or Marine Boy with the oxygen gum.

Ahhhhh! So I'm *not* the only person on the planet to remember that kid with his oxygen gum and his folding electric boomerang?!?
Damn, some of these comments bring back memories. Of course, being an Aussie, the Challenger disaster isn't as good a generational marker as the night we won the America's Cup. Was damn near declared a national public holiday.
Dammit, and now I've gotten the Hong Kong Phooey theme stuck in my head. *bops*
