I don't think that's the case at all.

Gabe is generally written as "the guy who is always wrong," so him dismissing it is intended to imply, "Don't do this."

Tycho even says, "well other people do."

Gyros sounds like Heroes.

That's the point. It isn't all that clever, but it's some exposure.

Like Metal Giant said, Jerry Krahulik's news post generally expands on the comic within the first few paragraphs, so there is likely some more positive news coming. Exposure = Good!

And I believe the PA guys did play... Albeit long ago.



... Also not entirely positive, but... NEWS!

Some things never change!

well that's good. thanks.

I'm playing City of Heroes sporadically. Or trying to - Everytime I've gone online, there hasn't been much to do. I've intentionally cut off my opportunities to sink anymore time into the game by starting up some console games (I'm anal in that I like to only be playing one game at a time).

However, I work from home on Tuesdays, so I'm in front of the computer all day. I generally log on, turn LFT on, then do some work. That's what I did yesterday, and after so much time of not even seeing a peep on Help or LFG, (and doing a /search to see that there were 14 players, all solo, on the entire server). I then went to the Beta server and soloed for a sec as a Staff/Bio Armor newly created character, but quickly got bored. I'm not into the game to solo.

But I'll likely continue to be here online on Tuesdays throughout the day.

I will be here Nov. 30th as long as I don't have anything else going on... I just looked. That's a Friday. Gonna be tough.

CoH was my first MMO. I also tried:
A free trial of Rift (didn't make it past the tutorial before I got bored)
Champions Online (for a month before giving up on it)
DCU Online (Same month, but I enjoyed this one more)

I re-downloaded and re-patched both CO and DCUO yesterday. I was immediately put off of CO, but DCUO still looked cool. I may try to figure that one out some more.

The Secret World looks really interesting, but I don't know about interesting enough for me to sink the time into it.

I do have Steam. My id, I believe, is chrismosesmagnum, so add me if you like. However, I haven't played m/any multiplayer games through the service. I do have Left 4 Dead 2, but I've only played it once. The last game I played was Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness ep. 2.

I've considered myself a console gamer my entire life, and it wasn't until City of Heroes that I wouldn't play a console game daily/weekly.

I only have a PS3. I had a 360, but I wasn't interested in the Microsoft exclusives, so I got a PS3 instead.

My PSN ID is ChrisMoses.

I'm currently playing the original Darksiders. I also have Borderlands 2, if anyone wants to do some co-op on that.

Other than that, I have a pretty large library of games, but also a huge stack of games I haven't even played, so they're next up. And that stack will grow over the next few months with the release of Dishonored, Resident Evil 6, XCOM (both the FPS and strategy), Assassin's Creed III, and The Last of Us, not to mention a few smaller releases.

I don't like CO's aesthetics at all.

Why does everyone hate DCUO? That's another I tried for a month at launch. I only stuck with it for the month, so obviously I didn't love it, but I played it a whole lot. I downloaded that along with CO, and my existing account was still there. I had to "disable" some of the characters I created, as a free account is limited to only 6 characters, but there was definitely less obstruction than CO has built in.

Oh, yeah, that seemed like a respec-kinda-thing, but I do remember some "Silver" and "Gold" terminology in there as well.

I had an account during the game's first month. Looking at the character screen, looks like I made two really cool looking dudes and got them to level 6.

But... I can't log on with them. Something about them being "Gold," and I guess I'm "Silver," but I don't know what that means. I'm guessing it's me being a Free player now Vs. paying at the time I made those, but I don't know if there is anything to do about that.

So, I started a new guy. Like Chyll, I was put off by the absurd limitations in costumes and power types. Also like Chyll, I thought the intro, which is supposed to be explaining everything, didn't do much of anything. And that map is the worst I've ever seen.

I already put in the 3 hours today it took to download the client and patch it up, so I'll give it another shot at some point... But my 10 minute dabbling only served to remind me why I gave the game less than a month back at its release in 2009.
