  1. Plenty of people still use IRC.
  2. IRC. I'm sure a bunch of folks already hang out on IRC servers so we'd have to put our destination up to a vote or something. Mine is for Foonetic, which I'm already on.
  3. Actually a bunch of people have come back from absences of 3 years and more since the game went FTP.

    But you're not going to be swayed by such rational arguments, so here's a picture of Gary who is Getting Down to Business.

    I believe that's the case. Even though the server lists were merged, I assume there's probably still some back-end stuff that distinguishes NA accounts from EU accounts. Because you owned the US version back in The Day, that meant you had an NA account.

    I think.

  6. Oh wow, that's just mean. Glad I already got a code during Mako Week.
  7. Well, this thread escalated quickly.

    I'd count on seeing at least a few of these powers in the recently-announced Psionic (or was it Psychic?) Melee set.

    They simply bestow a Aura power on you.
    Except for Soulbound Allegiance Chance for Build Up, yes.

    The question of a possible Deadpool movie was raised by a fan named Pam. “Let me tell you,” Lee began, “Deadpool is such a popular character that I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t appear in a movie sooner or later, either as a character in another movie or by himself. I think with some characters, they feel at Marvel the best thing to do is introduce them in another movie like Captain America or Thor and then see how popular they got. But those things have not yet been decided.”
    Apparently Stan Lee didn't see X-Men Origins: Wolverine (who could blame him).

    Unfortunately, pets don't inherit any set bonuses. There's a couple special IOs that function for pets (exclusively in the Pet Damage and Recharge Intensive Pet sets), but that's it.
  11. When I was 1, I experienced my first thunder and lightning storm. My mom came in to check on me to make sure I was okay. She found me standing up in my crib, pointing out the window and laughing like the Count. To this day I still love thunder and lightning, and I love math.

    AVs vs. GMs?

I haven't had a chance to Power Analyze the big squid's head yet. His resist can't be any higher than 50 right?
    Sure it can.

    No, that really only serves my point...

  15. This idea sounds ridiculously plausible.

  16. The biggest problem with bringing base raids back is that pathing was intentionally broken ages ago so players could do more unique things with base building. To return to base raids would be the return of pathing, which would break tons of existing bases.

    If you want a specific dev comment on why making any changes to bases is a bad proposition, check this writeup of a recent Dev Coffee Talk. Synapse specifically compares changing bases to "playing Jenga on fire" (whether the game or the player is on fire if left to the reader's imagination).
  17. They're just not an interesting couple. I always liked Batman/Wonder Woman as shown on JL/U.

    Can't tell you how many times I've done radios in PI where I'm in the vicinity of the police wagon, I have to travel across the zone to the Detective, than back across the zone to the wagon. Somewhat annoying.
    What, you expect the detectives who give you radio missions to have wireless communication devices?
  19. People used this feature on Beta a while back and discovered something the devs continue to disavow any knowledge of. I think they fixed it so it won't show anymore but I can't be bothered to check.

    The devs are doing it to spite you. That's the real reason. It's all a conspiracy to make you grumpy.

    I've tried a lot of demos of games I wouldn't have spent a dime on them and I ended up buying them instead, and obviously viceversa.
    Just curious, did any of those demos include the entire game for free, or were they limited?

    Every event I've ever been to with code giveaways has been done via PMs (I should know, I've won them a few times, and there's no way I'd be quick enough to catch them from Broadcast).
