  1. The strange thing is, it should be accessing your saved settings for graphics display and USING that when it plays back, regardless of it using the Demo Launcher or -demoplay or whatever... hmmm.

    a) Do you run the game in windows mode or full screen mode?
    b) Are your settings for graphics the same on Test and on Live? (I have a suspicion here, and I'm curious if I'm right)

  2. Hit Zloth's site and download his most recent version. When Ultra Mode was first released, his player didn't recognize it. He then updated it to recognize the advanced settings of Ultra Mode.

  3. It might have been removed (or it might be an invalid arc)... I know BenRGamer listed it as a possible entry in the original thread, so it was included here.

  4. Now I just need to pick up SIDE JOBS so I can see what "Aftermath" looks like...

    *slow evil grin spreads across Ko's face*

    And I think I just found the music I need to use if I do a trailer for GHOST STORY... oh, yeeeaaaahhhhh...

  5. Let's just say I am torn between doing a vid for THE DRESDEN FILES in general...

    ... or actually using the COH engine to do a trailer for GHOST STORY.

    Halloween Mobs

    Was ToTing with my lvl 50 grav/kin in the RWZ without a problem (well, me and my Singularity). Crones and Vampire Lords are certainly a PITA, but was cruising along pretty well.

    Then was duoing in the same neighborhood with hubby on his lvl 50 en/en blaster and me on my lvl 50 merc/TA MM. Doors were a bit of a challenge, but usually only when we'd both accidentally click on the door at the same time (oops).

    Daylight Again?

    Which is really too bad... I think Cimerora would look great with Roman zombies. Or the banners!

  9. If you can, check the Virtue forum for the thread on how they organized the Rage Against the Rikti Dropship Challenge. They'd organized teams and captains at least a week in advance, planned which zones they were going to camp in until the invasion spawned there, figured out the flight routes, the whole schmear.

    And it went off without a hitch - they took down 20 dropships in Talos, then 21 more in Peregrine Island, all in the space of an hour. I know - I was there, filming the whole thing.

  10. Hmmm... time to make sure Jo Sinclair is in Pocket D for some costume filming. *checks her camera*

  11. Thank God... after losing so much of my earlier Rikti invasion footage to a hard drive crash, I can do another round of running all over the place to film them.

    Besides, it wouldn't be an invasion without Agent Tavarisch in Steel Canyon, showing Positron just how Vanguard does things.

  15. Can I just say, I absolutely LOVE the enemies' random dialogue in the Halloween tip mission? I nearly got myself killed because I was laughing and didn't see the next mob come wandering into aggro radius.

    Which of the devs wrote this one?

  16. Sweet, I've been sigged!

    And I just had another idea for a Natural aura... not quite sure how it would look (maybe folks have an idea) but something that represents, for lack of a better term, charisma. You know how some people just draw you to them? Is there a way to do an aura that instead of radiating outward, actually seems to pull INWARD?

    Just a thought.

    I meant as a new post - I stand corrected, your Bubbaness.

    The hell with parrots, I want a LOBSTER as a shoulder pet!

    Actually, what would take this to Eleven on the Awesome Scale is if we also had the option of a DEAD parrot as a shoulder pet.

  19. I have a singularly weird affliction.

    I can't taste tea.

    No joke. I can smell it across a room, no problem. But you could brew black tea until it looked like Coke, and when I drink it, all I taste is hot water. I've tried more types of tea than I can count, of varying strengths and brewing methods (loose, blooms, whatever), and nothing. Which is aggravating as hell when John makes certain types of tea and I go, "oh wow that smells good I want some... crap it tastes like hot water."

    ICED tea, however, I can taste. And when I was at Teavana a little while back, the girl behind the counter introduced me to this chilled tea mix of mint and chocolate/vanilla that was just to die for.

    But normal, everyday, put-the-kettle-on hot tea? Nada.

  21. Hooray, done!

    GLOBAL ID: @Samuraiko
    ARC ID: #459581
    TITLE: "Kill or Cure"

    Synopsis: It all starts with a phone call from SERAPH - Your Omega Clearance makes you the prime candidate to investigate a series of events eight years in the making that, if left unchecked, will culminate in genocide.

  22. *grins* You could always put the Flies aura on a Natural character for having gone Natural a bit too long...

    I will be getting this - somehow. More gorgeous filming possibilities.

    EDIT: BTW, kudos on the video - it was a nice touch seeing the origins in settings that were actually appropriate to the origin, instead of sticking all of them in Atlas Park or on some generic mission map.

  23. Okay, I will find SOME way of scraping together the money to get this, even if it means selling off cameos in my vids again.
