A new scientific study suggests that we human beings still haven't reached the upper limits of our physical potential. Scientists now believe that the human body could potentially run at speeds approaching 40 miles per hour. That would easily blow by the current fastest human alive, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who tops out at about 28 mph. That's not exactly Flash speed, but it suggests that human beings in the future would be consider "superhuman" by today's standards. Now if only we had a supersoldier serum to unlock all that potential.

OK, the forums were down for a while, and now they're back up and the threads aren't all stretchy any more. And my name in the upper right corner is in that brass color that's supposedly "gold". So either the fix was made or Nemesis has won.

EDIT: Oh, and FAFM!!

My impression is that Episodes 6 & 7 will be a whole lot of "Holy pancake! Statesman is dead! What do we do now!?" And there will be something specific happening that will have people wondering how we're going to get through it without him.

• Obadiah Stane is selling weapons to terrorists.
• Rex Tyler survived. He's the Doctor and he becomes Cobra Commander.
• Planet Vulcan implodes.
• Sentinel Prime is working with Megatron.

Is there anyone who didn't see this coming? OK, OK, apparently there seriously are.

For this game there is actually a good reason to kill off Statesman. In DC or Marvel Comics the readers see things as though they were part of the ordinary populace, just with an insider's view. The Big Iconic Heroes (bad idea to make an acronym out of that) are not just there for the normal civilians to look up to; they are also primarily there for us to look up to.

In a game like City of Heroes, however, there's a problem. We are supposed to be the heroes. We are supposed to be the ones everybody looks up to, the "paragons" as it were. That there is an iconic, signature hero permanently up above the players, having attained a status us peons can never reach, flies in the face of what this game is supposed to be about. This is especially true with the addition of Incarnate content, which is supposed to make us, the players, the ultimate heroes in the game. Nothing against Statesman as a character, but he flies right in the face of what this game is supposed to be about.

Now the decision to spoil the supposed surprise may be questionable, but I just figure the developers have read about this study.

Two words: "Chuck" & "Norris"

OK, that upgraded my interest in this movie. Granted, it was upgraded to "Redbox it, if even that" to "don't go unless it starts getting good reviews".

Bad Idea: Trying to level to 50 using nothing except brawl and your origin power.

Good Idea: Utilizing a thesaurus to come up with a unique name for your character.

He thought of how he could get Max's number, then realized that if he could somehow hack Praetoria's Seer network, he could glean that information from anyone who knew it.

Methinks I like the results so far.

Bad Idea: Making your "Eden top, Bikini bottom" costume in real life and posting pictures of you wearing it online...and you're male.


Good Idea: Selling your unneeded salvage at the auction houses to earn extra inf to buy the salvage you do need.
