  1. I liked the cutscene.

  2. 50. Stand him up in front of a permanently open portal to Praetorian Earth so that every time someone looks through, there's Statesman staring at them.

    (And no, I'm not remaking Weekend at Bernie's, not even for you, Steelclaw.)

  3. Yes.

    And confirmed via demofile.

    ... I think I've got a friend that plays the game using that same mindset. It would explain so much....
    Not quite - more like the more she dies, the stronger the echo becomes, and the stronger the link to the Netherworld becomes.

    (Although a few people in the Star Patrol have made that joke about Andrea before, given how often she heedlessly charges in...)

  5. I can't draw worth crap... can I do a blockbuster video instead?

  6. I agree - makes a very nice change to see an interview NOT based off a press release, and willing to ask a few different questions. I also wish we could have seen what the alternate look for Posi's armor would have been (and exactly how that was supposed to relate to his involvement with Numina)...

    *grins*

    And guess who her interviewee is for her next week's column?

  7. The Netherworld (at least in my interpretation) is The Darkness - the echoes, remnants, etc of life. That which originally was, and will always be alongside the living worlds.

    It features heavily in the backstory of my dark/psi defender, Andrea Blake - and for her, the Darkness is sentient. Her darkness powers come from the Netherworld after she died and came back to life, and the more powerful she becomes, the more she becomes an Avatar of the Netherworld. In the end, she becomes an Incarnate of the Netherworld ("an", not "THE").

    And every time she's died and come back since that first time, she's left more of an echo of herself there... which someone else finds.

  8. Okay, if each pet is a learning experience (dog = 4 legged rig, etc), then this means we now get...


    SNAKE MASTERY!

    Yes, you heard it here first. The newest power, Snake Control, will launch with St. Patrick's Day. Admittedly, it has the unfortunate costume side effect of turning your costume green, but hey, we all make sacrifices. No more grinding our way thru snake maps - you just walk in, shout "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!" and WHOOSH, snakes go fleeing from you like vampires from garlic.

  9. When you see any kind of historical plaque or marker and instinctively run over to check it...

    When you log into any OTHER game (especially one that doesn't have Flight) and realize that what you could so easily reach in COH is damn near out of reach...

    When you inadvertently refer to Lync meetings (large Office Communicator hookups) as raid chats...

    Your DXP Plans

    I have already heard from Zwill that the XP Boosters from the Super Packs *DO* stack with 2xp weekend.

    Several of our SG mates will be on that weekend, helping each other get to/thru certain content. Personally I'm hoping for either Staff Fighting or WWD7 to launch tomorrow so I can really go to town!

    Do I have your demofiles? I may have to whip together something amusing for you...

    No, that was Mr Abyss. Blood Speaker is my husband, and in our household, *I* make the videos, thank you very much.

    The detail in DA is downright unsettling. When I was running around in there filming my trailer, just before I was done, I found something I'd never seen in there before, and it so freaked me out I had to stop playing.

    Never mind the screams... the fog in Moth Cemetery... the sigils against the darkness... the faces in the War Walls...

    But when my character found an abandoned baby carriage right outside the gates to the cemetery... if she could have, she would have sat right down on the ground and cried.

  15. I take it there's still no Win7(64) version yet for how to do this? I got a login screen I'd love to use...

  20. You can either Ouro them (in the 20-24 category) or go straight to the contacts.

    Laura Lockhart is due east of Posi and Co., Graham Easton is farther NE than that.

    Each arc is 4-5 missions long, fairly brisk, and I found them great fun.

  21. We should have a contest - what's the funniest misspelled word you've found in the game? (Especially when you factor in context...)

    Like "a vile of blood"...

    That's when they actually uploaded it to YouTube. Today is when they made it live. This way, in case YouTube had unscheduled maintenance today or something, they'd still be able to launch the video because it was already in the system.

  24. I just wanna say that COH has the best damn community out there. First you help me film this, showing up at all hours to stand in as body doubles, show off powers, run missions, what have you. And then, since this thing went live on Sunday morning, it's now shown up on blogs, forums, Twitter, etc... and that was BEFORE the rednames got hold of it!

    You guys are just amazing - it means a great deal to me that you look forward to my videos as much as you do, and that you enjoy them!

    *hugs*

    (And I finally looked at the Facebook page! When it didn't keep kicking me off because I wouldn't log in, it seems a lot of folks liked it there, too! WOOT!)

    I know that won't work. I've also tried getting down on my knees and begging at the first HeroCon (SexyJay bet me I wouldn't do it when he introduced me to Brian Clayton, and I did), bribing with brownies (Melissa Bianco accused me of sabotaging her diet), sending Christmas cards (BAB asked why his didn't have money in it), actually *gasp* APPLYING, etc.

    I figure this is like trying to get the Babel fish in HHGTTG. Eventually I will hit on the right combination of things to do.
