  3. I also rolled my drivers back to 10.9, and it fixed several problems (ATI Radeon HD 5850 Black Edition).

    Since I-11. I remember it from my video.

  5. Drat... oh well, one more thing to crusade for the next time I see Dr. Aeon.

    And I didn't think to look under Nemesis in the MA, so I'll see if the base is there.

    Thanks!

  6. I could have sworn that the Safeguard/Mayhem maps had been added to the MA, as had 2 maps for the Shadow Shard, but try as I might, I just cannot find these things!

    (And I don't mean the interior of the banks themselves, I mean the mini-instanced zone maps.)

    It's times like this when I really wish text were capable of conveying body language and vocal intonation so I could tell if this was actually intended as sarcasm.

    Supposedly, the correct one looks different. I've yet to see it, however.
    It's the arrangement of the torches in front of the portal.

    We should have an ego-off. Loser writes the winner's biography.

    Oh yeah, well, not if I can help it!
    The irony is that I've been accused of having a really big ego. I don't. I generally recognize my strengths and my talents, but I also have major self-esteem issues, usually bottoming out somewhere about the level of whale poo. Plus I have the damnedest time accepting compliments with any modicum of grace.

As such, she is destined to fade into obscurity as her videos are eventually remembered as being made by "Some chick who liked brownies". This is her wish, as she wants her videos to be memorialized more than herself. Her sacrifice inspiring, a statue is being built in her honor. Unfortunately, we've had to cut the video budget to produce it. 20 years from now, voters will sagely nod that she will have wanted it this way.
    Ironic in that I have been accused of having the biggest ego on the forums, and (and I quote here) "for the least reason". However, let it be known that I will not object to having my biography written... as long as it is written by either Steelclaw, Troy Hickman, Dr. Aeon, or The Television.

    *pause*

    Or Matt Miller. I've done a biography of his character, he can do one for me.

    Join the club - we've got a thread I started on the matter a while back here...

    You might try some of these suggestions to see what works.

  12. For those who wish to donate, Bloodspeaker's global is actually @Blood Speaker, IIRC. You could also make donations to his wife, @Samuraiko.

    Kudos to the asymmetrical *** brigade. You are truly an inspiration to us all.

    Now THERE is a supergroup/villaingroup name waiting to happen.

    If we ever had a valid argument to beg the developers for asymmetrical character models, this is it.

    You can request a mod move the thread, or else just create a new one in the appropriate section and leave this one to drift into oblivion.

    Yep! It was a trick and a half doing it, but I managed to get the last one just as we ended up next to the stairs and Harken got out.

    And I agree, after mowing down wave after wave after wave of Legacy Chain, to have a Task Force show up was just the height of awesome. I was running Profiteer, my Mercs/TA Mastermind, and I just couldn't help but shout (in-game and out), "ALL RIGHT, HEROES, BRING IT!"

    Not sure if it's just you, Wild... I've had quite a few friends try and try and try and just cannot get tips to drop.

  20. Not something I've seen before, but if they ever came up with a toolbar method for demorecording, I'd be on it like white on rice.

    CoH/CoV Novel?

    Two questions:

    1. How long is this arc?
    2. How did you get such low MA numbers?
    1. It's only one mission - I made it at Ghost Falcon's behest on the test server during beta when he wanted 'offensive' arcs. As it turns out, not only was mine not deemed all that 'offensive', but it proved stupidly popular. I really should expand it...

    2. When the MA first went live, I had several arcs ready to go and got lucky with how fast they made it in.

  23. Sorina Tavarisch = Soar-EE-nuh Tah-VAH-reesh.

    Andrea Blake = AN-dree-uh, NOT AHN-dree-uh or ahn-DRAY-uh.

    The rest are fairly straightforward, although...

    My global and forum names?

    Samuraiko = sam-uh-RYE-ko
    Dark_Respite = dark REHS-pit

    CoH/CoV Novel?

    FWIW, Resident, FREEDOM PHALANX had a lot of potential that really, unfortunately, went nowhere. I never did find out if Robin Laws actually PLAYS the game or not, but just for myself, it came across as a commissioned novel that was told to cover "X Y Z bases" and with "X Y Z" storylines.

    It's a bit of self-promotion here, but if you hit my signature, I wrote a full length COH FanFic novel (told from Positron's PoV) that a lot of readers have really enjoyed, which then in turn started a sequel. I'd also recommend a quick foray into the Roleplaying section of the forums, and look up the writing by Mr_Grey, BlueBattler, and a couple of others who've done excellent fiction.

    Cheers!
