Uh, Flea, I don't wanna be on your league!
If league leaders can't deal with herding cats all the time, then maybe they should stop being league leaders.

I see the cavalry finally showed up.
Took you all long enough.
BTW, it is threads like this one where it's pretty easy to spot the self centered people from the empathic ones. Totally making notes, here (not really...). -
Quote:I've agreed with everything you've said so far, in this thread.Originally Posted by Captain-Electric
Do the rest of you feel this is the case? I'm honestly asking. If I'm in the wrong, I'd like to know, so that I can stop being in the wrong. In many forums and wikis, the policy is to speak freely but tag or warn about your spoilers. Are the rest of you of the opinion that this is kind of silly?
Keep in mind, some of you seem to be confusing "spoiler tags" with "no discussing spoilers". As I said on the first page, I'm not arguing against discussing spoilers. I do it, too. I just don't do it blatantly, without warning, out in the open, with a microphone, and with a bewildered look on my face when someone throws a tomato at me.
Also, I agree with what your friends on Virtue (my home server, yay!) have said about this board. -

Quote:That would be most righteous and way cool if that ever happened. "Fall down before the totally awesome power of god, dude!" \m/Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
The fate of the word "awesome" hangs in the balance as well. If you were born before the 60s, you might remember when "awesome" was used mainly to refer to happenings on the scale of awe-inspiring acts of divine intervention. In just 30 years this word has picked up a primary popular meaning of simply "impressive, good." While most readers still understand what it means to "fall down before the awesome power of god," there is a possibility that in a not very distant future people will find it comical.

Quote:That's why I have a shortcut of CoH on my desktop. That launches the game via the launcher, which exits as soon as the loading bar comes up. If the game crashes, just double-click on the CoH icon again. Simple!Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
Thanks that's kind of useful... but I find the game generally so crashy that to relaunch then involves relaunching the launcher, then launching the game. It just seems this is an extra bit of badly coded junk we gotta use to play the game.
Well, unless you have to reset the computer first, I guess. -
It runs in the background?
I always close it once the game has been launched. -
I wonder if "Hexadecimator" will ever be available again on Virtue.

Yes, that's brilliant! I want a balloon flight ability! Forget the magic carpets. I want a handful of helium balloons!

Yes, yes, yes! Carp Melee! Everyone wants it, and this is the shortest route to it.
And honestly, I was half surprised it wasn't one of the weapons first released with the set. -

I don't think I never read a single issue of GamePro, or even gave it a second glance, much less a first.
My gaming roots were from before that magazine started, and by the time it did, I wasn't as interested in keeping up with the latest game info (I was rather in the Amiga computer scene at the time, lol).
But as such, the videogame magazine that I miss the most was a bit older than that one.
Even so, I am sorry to see yet another gaming magazine disappear. -
Quote:I have 16 characters on Virtue alone, most of which have 25 to 27 market slots each.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Even if you did this, there is actually enough supply for everyone's bids to fill and MORE THAN enough demand for everyone's sales to sell. It'll take a little longer, but Coyote's would deplete first, then Mike's, then mine... meanwhile, sales will also take a little longer, but they'll eventually all sell. Luck Charms move fast.
With my dozens of alts on other servers, I can make chump bids of 1 inf each on all their slots to artificially inflate the apparent demand for Luck Charms.
No, I don't do this...
...with Luck Charms... >.> -

Quote:That pool of phone numbers to data lines at CSULA back in the early 90's were pretty flaky themselves, yeah! Almost every time I dialed into there, I'd end up at 1200 baud. If I wanted 2400 baud, I would have to keep disconnecting and reconnecting until it finally clicked. Total PITA!Originally Posted by Siolfir
Playing on MUDs at 2400 baud was funny - you could read everything as it appeared on the screen! The sad part was, due to line noise in the university phone lines, I couldn't connect at faster than 2400 baud even when I got my 14.4 modem or it would go nuts.
A guy I knew at the time found me a VMS port of TinyFugue, which worked very nicely for playing on MU*'s. I set up some function key macros on my terminal program to invoke certain TinyFugue commands. -

So. If you were 24 in... let's say 1990 (probably more like 1987), that makes you...
*does quick math*
...79 today! Sheesh!
(stupid Ouroboros mucking up everything)
That happened when I was younger than 24.
Six months before I turned 24 is when I acquired my first Internet access at the university I was attending at the time. I had to go into their computer dungeon in the science building and sign up for a shell account on their VAX, which ran VMS.
I used that same 2400 baud modem to dial remotely into their system from home on my Amiga 2000. But I had to dial into another CSU campus that was closer to me in order to avoid getting any local toll charges. It was a simple matter to select the CSUNet from the login prompt, and then I'd be presented with a menu of Cal State University networks I could connect to.
Such an arrangement was incredibly laggy, and I had to use a local chat window on my terminal program in order to properly see what I was typing. But uploading and downloading to my VMS account via Z-Modem worked just fine. -

Also, a significant portion of the playerbase is getting old and grumpy.
...I've been playing this game for almost a quarter of my life
When I was the age you were when you first started playing this game, I got my very first 2400 baud modem. The store from where I got it had their own BBS. It wasn't very much, but I was able to find numbers there to other BBSes that had a lot more users, and a lot more fun things to download! -

I guess that puts it into perspective. Thank you!

When I was six, all I had to play games with was a Coleco Telstar. I didn't get an Atari 2600 until I was 12.
But at the time, I thought such games were the coolest thing around. It's a good thing I wasn't able to see into the future and glimpse games like this one, or else it would have ruined the entire 1980's for me!
