  1. Just a quick boost, as I'm only taking names through 9/30 so I have time to work on this.

    That's Matthew "Kiyotee" Bregg. He's on the list.

    Good news all..

    Sorry, I see the phrase "dance of joy" and this is the only one I ever think of (not one of the two linked above).

  16. In response to all the doom and gloom permeating the forums lately, I figured I'd try to bring some levity. Admittedly, my lists aren't nearly as good as Steelclaw's are, but I gotta start somewhere.

    Feel free to add to this list - I want to make a poster of it eventually.

    *****

    ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM CITY OF HEROES

    I don't drive nearly as bad as I think I do, compared to the drivers in Paragon City.

    Time really does fly, and days can pass in a matter of minutes. Twenty, to be exact.

    It doesn't matter if I'm in the best shape of my life, I am still morally obligated to take the elevator everywhere I go.

    I am not, however, morally obligated to hold the door for anyone.

    Learn Estonian at the earliest opportunity or be considered illiterate regarding plaques.

    Always get the MAXIMUM cell phone plan I can afford - I'm going to need it to keep calling my contacts. And always go for the maximum G network, for when I dial ancient Rome.

    Carrying a host of automatic weapons when trick or treating is perfectly acceptable.

    The only recipes I ever need to memorize have nothing to do with food.

    When it comes to home repair, don't bother fixing anything. Just throw it out and buy new.

    And stacking furniture is a totally valid way to decorate.

    When rescuing civilians on the street, just sigh and let them run into the building that I've been dispatched to clear of Council, Nemesis, or whatever other group is hellbent on destroying it.

    Feel no guilt for this, because civilians are invulnerable.

    If a cop shows me his badge, don't ask, "Hey, I'm trying to reach 1400, can I have this?" They don't count.

    The slogan "The sun never sets on Praetoria" is a lie. It is, however, entirely true in Cimerora.

    I'd hug you, Matt, but I think that'd violate the restraining order.

    What I lack in practical knowledge or common sense, I make up in enthusiasm. And I don't even drink coffee, Red Bull, Mountain Dew, or anything like that. Heaven forfend that I ever do something as astronomically stupid as cocaine, I'd probably go backward in time. Or spontaneously combust.

  19. This is Johanna Sinclair, my first character (en/en blaster). Also my first 50!



    She was, as you can see, inspired by my TRINITY BLOOD fan fiction character, Sister Johanna Sinclair. We didn't have Time Manipulation back in 2007, so I made do with en/en. Her look got revised over the years as new costume options became available, but this was Jo as she first appeared.

  20. One with the Statesman star saying "We're heroes. It's what we do."
    Another with the Arachnos spider saying, "We're villains. What's ours is OURS."

  21. I asked Matt on Twitter when we'd be getting our answers (at least from the first round). His response today:

    "Soon (TM) (Answers are written, waiting for sign off from execs.)"

  24. One place I use is the PhotoGallery that comes with my domains.

    The other is Twitpic.com.

  25. Yeah, I've made some seriously cool desktops thanks to the demorecord feature.

    That way you can time a shot just right:
