  1. LOL @ the video title and description:

    mongoose on steroids leaked in his pants (hq)

    mongoose is conflicted between his biological space mongoose father and his earth mongoose father, and becomes mongoose on steroids

    Still feel kind of apathetic about this movie. Between yet ANOTHER origin retelling (we got it, guys) and Zod yet again (after Superman 2 and Smallville season 9, this makes Zod #3, and I honestly just don't consider him to be that interesting a villain), I just can't make myself care about it.

    Not that any of my commentary matters here since this thread will inevitably be nuked from orbit.

    Adding "Space" to the beginning of anything makes it 40% funnier. True space-fact.
  3. You need to do the new low-level arcs in order. If you look at your chat window, somewhere should be a message explaining why it's not working (which is bad design IMO, but that's where it is). What was Lost is actually the first arc, belonging to Matthew Habashy, and that's the one you'll need to start with. From there you can do either No More Fears or Lay Down Your Burdens, then you can do Reason To Fight.

    First Ward and Night Ward are like this too, which is kind of annoying because arcs 4 and 5 in NW have badges but the first 3 arcs don't.

    She got Bruce to willingly give his company to her and literally took over Gotham City with an army without anyone realizing that she was the actual mastermind. What else do you want???

    I'm guilty of the same thing, to be honest.

  8. He added a few Joker-esque lines to that, right? Because I really don't remember (nor can I possibly imagine) Bane saying "Well, that certainly got heavy!".

    Wow, never seen that response before. That's kinda crummy. "Sorry kid, you're on yer own!"
  10. We're not talking a Master TF run here, it's not a huge deal if someone's connection drops.

    Taci, let me know your character's name, but I'll hold a spot for you.

    Maybe you should try the Freedom server forum, then. This is Pinnacle.

    And honestly it's a little presumptuous on your part to use the word "friend". Do you even play on Pinnacle?

    The main reason I planned it for that day is that I'm taking the week following that Friday off from work so it'll be relatively okay if I screw up my sleep that night (which I do pretty much every Friday night anyway, but that's neither here nor there), which is also why I don't intend to do it during the work week. More importantly, I won't have access to the game this weekend, and I want to give this a little lead time anyway so it can build interest as folks see it.

    This isn't meant to constitute an Issue release announcement, nor should it be taken as one. They will release a full list of I24 changes (they haven't even told us everything yet) in text form when they're ready to, just as they always do, this is just a bonus preview of what they're working on.

    But hey, I guess it's easier to complain about something you aren't entitled to but got anyway, amirite?
  15. Come to think of it, Randy Savage as Lobo would have been awesome. Terrible, but awesome (much like David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury).

    I'm honestly not sure whether this was a deliberate malapropism or if you just meant "stigma".

  20. Just checked in-game, it's definitely a bug in Mids. Seems to be a new one too, as I'm almost positive it was working properly as recently as a few months ago.
  21. Stop screaming. We're doing this. Important points:
    • Friday July 27, 7PM EST
    • ParagonWiki page
    • Level range 40-44, which means no Incarnate powers but you will have all of your regular powers up to level 49
    • Expected run time is 4 hours-ish, so don't join if you don't think you can commit
    • Multiple people with Assemble the Team and/or Team Transport needed, and I believe at least some of the door missions can be stealthed so someone who can manage that would be neat too
    Okay, so I know what you're thinking (I'm boring and my slideshow eats) -- Gob, why should I run this? Well first of all, don't talk back, it's rude. Second-of-ly, there are many terrific reasons to run this Task Force!
    • XP, inf, prestige, your standard drops, including Enhancement Converters
    • A relatively rare badge (only 1,572 verified on CIT, soon to be 1,580?) with a rockin' name:
    Portal Smasher
    You cut off the illegal portals the Nemesis army and Crey had built to access the Shadow Shard, and prevented the Rularuu from escaping into our world.
    • 122 Reward Merits, which is equivalent to 2.44 Hero Merits or 12.2 Enhancement Converters
    • Most importantly...fun!
    So bring your Hero, Vigilante or Rogue on down to Firebase Zulu next Friday! Signups below:

    1. Qubit (@DarkGob) Level 50 Bots/Dark Mastermind
    2. Billy Mailman (@Billy Mailman) Level 50 Elec/Elec Blaster
    3. Freeze Mk-3 (@Reverand Clint) Level 50 Ice/Storm Controller
    4. Fire Away (@Fifty One Fifty) Level 45 DP/Dark Corruptor
    5. Tacitala (@Tacitala) Level 50 Inv/SS Tanker
    6. Not a Nemesis Agent (@BViking) Level 45 AR/Time Corruptor
    7. Talsor Carnifice (@Warrior7) Level 50 Claws/Ninjitsu Stalker
    8. Saul (@Shadow Ninjaiku) Level 50 Crab SoA

    P.S. Can I get a PinnBadges chanop to put this in the MOTD at some point? (I know it's kind of full at the moment, maybe by early next week?)

    P.P.S. We're not running this at +4, you lunatics.

I think a reasonable person with reasonable expectations should ask what comes next. If that baffles you, that's a shame. Personally, I'm not prepared mentally to deal with another seven years of crap over this. So I tell you what, if I split you get dibs on my stuff.

    And with that... I'm out and leave the next word to you or anyone who wants it.
    What comes next is a new system. Which they must devote significant resources to, which is not at all cost effective if it's a niche system (see: Arena PvP, PvP zones, Mission Architect), all of which has already been posted in this thread but somehow you're not seeing it.

    If you're honestly not mentally prepared for not getting a certain thing in a video game, then maybe the issue doesn't lie with the game. You call yourself a reasonable person with reasonable expectations but neither of those things seem to be the case. Do yourself a favor and take a big step back and go watch Tropic Thunder.
  23. You can't, they discontinued French and German language support for the game client with the release of the current Issue 23 (or thereabouts).

    Tell me something (anything) that makes me feel like the next seven years will be any different from the last seven in this area.

    Awww, just forget it. It's easier to just insult people because they care deeply about something.
    You still aren't listening. The next seven years probably won't be different, barring an entirely new system. You have been told why. Why you persist on demanding an explanation is just baffling to me.
