  1. Yeah, this was a major issue a while back - 10.9 drivers was the solution for a LOT of us.

    Another vote for the Japanese pantheon please, although Celtic gods would be nice as well!

    Also, Samuraiko (AKA Dark_Respite) has produced a number of excellent CoH videos, some amazing work not directly CoH-related, as well as writing an incredible piece of fanfic - the Nerd Flirting link in her signature is worth a look.
    Thanks for the praise of THE COURSE OF SUPERHERO ROMANCE! (And yes, there's a vid in the works for that too.)

  4. I just found out I have a dentist appt I can't reschedule on Friday during the giveaway on Justice (and I'm at work earlier, and at the dentist from 4-6pm PST). So I will not be able to attend, to film or to try and win an Animal Pack. Crud.

    Well, I never win anything anyway, so no real loss, I guess. But someone else will have to do filming duty.

    PS to starrball - check out http://www.samuraiko.com/Toons_on_Film.html - that's the page on my site about how I make vids; download the PDF in the upper righthand corner for the handout from my HeroCon 2008 presentation on how to make movies in COH.

  5. Oh, right! The interior of the Sky Raiders base! Yes, that's in the MA. Oooh, good call, yes, those little cubbies should be perfect! Thanks so much!

  6. Oooh, I will have to be there on Justice to film! I sense much awesome costume potential here...

You might need to superimpose other scenery you might want over the Matrix binary and gratuitous katakana.
    That might work, though if you think of the original place (and throw a description my way, I might be able to helP), feel free to post it!

    Good thought. Might take some work to make it not so AE-ish, but I'll see.

    Anyone else?

  8. Is there anywhere blueside, redside, or goldside of what looks like a front desk/security station with a bunch of monitors (like the kind of security center some really big corporations have to keep an eye on the entire building)?

    If it's an instanced map, what mission? (In case it's in the MA)

    If it's an open map, where would I look?

    (And if you've got a base with that kind of setup, I might use that instead...)

    But I need a place as a stand-in for Crey Industries...

    I'm extremely thankful (and more than a little astounded) that not one but TWO bands whose music I enjoy a great deal... have kindly consented for me to use their songs in upcoming COH music videos. (I think I scared the neighbors on Wednesday morning when I gave out a strangled shriek at 7:30 in the morning after seeing the email.)

    /coffee

    This weekend, I hop in-game and start storyboarding out my next two COH music videos (which I'll be doing almost simultaneously)! Woot!

    Which reminds me - I need to put out a call for bases to film in again, unless the players can point me to certain existing locales in-game that'll meet my needs.

    Or I could theoretically start at the top and assassinate War Witch, but not only do I like her, but she's one of the few remaining devs who actually likes my videos. One must have allies...

    I know Positron was originally a Champions character, and so was Statesman, IIRC. Not sure about Castle...

  16. Reading through the description of the BAF trial, I am suddenly hearing "The Game Has Changed" from the TRON: LEGACY score, and imagining a trailer of the trial with that as the music.

  17. Welcome to the madhouse, Zwill. Check your sanity at the door, coz you won't be needing it here.

    BTW, watch out for the weird woman with the camera on the servers - that'll be me, and I eventually catch all the rednames in-game!

  18. Yes it is EMOTE_FACEPALM, and as you can see, Ms. Liberty does in fact have it unlocked. (Linked in case the graphic won't load...)

    Well, they'll certainly be a change of pace from the video I did for Cende, that's for sure.

  20. I'd also advise tracking down Aralcox's videos on YouTube to see some of what the game can do. Night Prayers is by FAR my favorite, although Pulse and Princess of Dusk are tied for second.

    It would be more appropriate to say, "Eight is a big team. Eight is a small league."
    I think Marketing would be happier if the devs could only speak like the adults do in CHARLIE BROWN.

  22. And the first thing that comes to mind is:

    "Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up... we'll all get up... IT'LL BE ANARCHY!"

    Nope - doing another music video. The Creative Services Team has taken up the banner of ads for the game and they're welcome to it.

    Now there is a great description of the game in a nutshell.

    Incarnacy may be its own reward, but it’s nice to make a big impression, too. (Note that I only say “Incarnacy” because it bugs Positron when I do.)
    We forgive you.

    You cannot redact evil chuckles - it's how devs communicate. That and grunts.

    About That Accessibility Thing
    For our more casual players, we have added an option for you to continue to build your way up the Incarnate Tree by collecting Incarnate Shards without doing any Incarnate Trials--you will even get Incarnate Shards when you are exemplared down. It will take longer than it will take by participating in Incarnate Trials, and you’ll miss out on some epic storylines, but you will be able to claim your seat at the Incarnate table nevertheless.
    Thank you, God. Hopefully this is the reassurance that the 'casuals' have been seeking/doubting/praying/scorning.

    Quote:
    And we are about to give you a preview of one of the Incarnate Trials: you’ll be able to experience the Behavioral Adjustment Facility, the Turnstile, and Leagues. Keep your eyes peeled for a Very Special Announcement.
    I hope this means 'video.' And soon. Like, now.

  25. My three Incarnates so far are two Controllers (one grav/kin, one mind/ff) and one Defender (dark/psi).
