I think probably Dual Pistols/Cleavage.
That's a great secondary set!! -

Yeah no offense intended, but this kinda thing is what drives me NUTS in SG bases.
Why do so FEW designers put their TPs in ALPHABETICAL ORDER by Zone?
It seems to be all the rage these days, to put them in order by Level - which is somewhat arbitrary and assumes all members of the SG (even newbs) actually KNOW what zones correlate to which level.
While EVERYONE knows the alphabet! Without having to stop and think "So would Steel be BEFORE Bricks? What about Hollows? Is RWZ near the Cimerora TP?
C'mon everyone, say it with me!
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z.
So easy!
Bah! My SG members are smart! We know general zone levels and everything!!
Ours are generally in level order, but I always like to do the hazard zones using the arcane TPers and beacons, and the city zones in tech so they're easy to tell.
Each to their own... -
I didn't have time to look up any reviews or the like that might have checked the space available for the vid card. Some of these new ones are seriously a lot longer than some people plan for. I think the 5850 isn't quite as bad, but that would be one thing you might look in to.
I think the mobo upgrade Father mentioned would be good, but I'm of the opinion the memory upgrade wouldn't give you much oomph. But then, it's a cheap upgrade, so what the hey.

May not have a thing to do with your PIGG file issues, but I've noticed that the last several times I've run CCleaner on my system and done the registry issue scanner, it's picked up an issue that PIGG (and also RAM) files are unused file extensions. Fortunately I know that they weren't unused, so I made sure those issues weren't "fixed". But it would be really easy for someone to not look close enough and "fix" those registry entries.

Yipee Skipee!
Looking forwards to the fun and the mayhem. -

NaughtyNadya - I can't say that I'm especially proud of this. I enjoyed using crayons, but boy did they ever feel limiting cmpared to working digitally (or even with a pen). I think if I ever do it again, I'll work MUCH BIGGER and then shrink it down in the scan - that's the only way to really add details.

Looks cool - and you stayed in the lines pretty well, too!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the reason for the sudden proliferation in villainous rednames as our developers (Dr. Aeon, The Television, Black Scorpion) is because War Witch's true allegiance is making itself known.
And it was even caught on film in an OFFICIAL trailer!

Yep, as early as 2006, our intrepid leader is clearly visible in Grandville (starting at 0:59), fighting alongside villains (and she OBVIOUSLY isn't on the Statesman Task Force - so much for that excuse).
The truth is out!

Oh noes!!!
War Witch, you're dead to me.
What?

Don't forget to mention about how it utilizes multi-layered high-level protocols that provide a function-based optimal moratorium on all user-friendly 4th generation functionalities, while also ensuring a focused, impactful paradigm that allows us to think outside the box. It will also distribute up-sized eco-centric circuits and take full advantage of a fully-configurable analyzing pricing structure that will enable us to be competative in a modern market that thrives on vision-oriented methodical goals and adaptive local resources.
Sez you! -

Welcome to the game, Anna! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
I'd like to reiterate what was said above. There is "endgame content" for your upper level characters, but the real fun, IMO, is in the journey. I feel that those who rush through to hit 50 are missing out on a lot. Simply changing ATs will change the approach to the game, and changing origins will get you introduced to different contacts as your primary contacts as you go up in levels.
When the new Praetorian starting areas open up, there will also be entirely new missions, foes, etc. to face as you progress up through level 20.
Good luck, and have fun!! -
That one's a super piece - saw it from the artist on DA and had to stash it in my CoH folder right away!

Welcome to the forums in your official capacity. Good luck!

My laptop has an NVidia 7950 card in it, and I run okay, albeit at somewhat reduced settings for world detail and particles (which I don't mind at all). Granted it won't handle Ultra Mode at all, but it does fine overall. I've played in Grandville and on Hami raids with it.
I'm hoping to get a new system in the not-so-distant future, but I'll have this for the mobility when I'm away and want some gaming. -

Well, I've just lost all respect for you. All the cool kids study metallurgy as a hobby!
Also, the dark-dark gray instead of black comment above might be a good idea, I think. They're usually much nicer than black at showing detail. -

"hard" or "difficult" are not appropriate terms when referring to an unknown quantity of time. When the actual amount of time required is unknown, saying it would require a "significant amount" may not be correct either. It may take 2 hours, 2 weeks, 2 months, etc. Weeks or Months would be a significant amount of time while hours or minutes might not be. All we do know is that it won't take 2 seconds, which would be an insignificant amount of time...so the most accurate and comprehensive thing we could say would be that it's "not insignificant"
That's not dis-unconfusing at all!
Also, I would like to see someone refer to their wife/girlfriend as their not-insignificant other and not get hit.

I'm sort of expecting a half-melted Peep for the hot chick on one of these...

Listened to them all last night...very good stuff! Nice work to all involved, and keep up the good work! I'll be listening to the future episodes for sure, along with the 'casts that others do.

as nice as it is..i think it was a big waste of time.
the game is in a huge lull and i think they could have done something better with their time then give a buncha shadows to a 6 year old game with a dwindling playerbase
the % of people who will actually use ultra mode is so low i really cant believe they think it was a good idea.
there are people who still cant play in grandeville for crying out loud cause its too laggy.
Yeah, progress stinks.
And my laptop will play well in Grandville. As would my previous laptop with half the graphics card in it.
Please limit your trolling to that done on a boat with a fishing rod. -
Very nice! Thanks for sharing them!

Listening atm - so far, so good!
I like the format but think, too, that it might be easier for more people to listen in if they were shorter but more of them than fewer, longer ones. Just for those that may not have the time to listen all in one setting.
But, again, very nice work so far!
