As for the hair, there was a fairly large set of new hair added to the game a year or two ago. If you think what we have now is limited you should have seen it then. The new female hairstyles are the ones that have better highlighting/frosting color ability while the old hairstyles simply blended the primary and secondary color.
I also tend to end up on the left side of the slider and increase the waist for a more "realistic" female form. Unless I'm intentionally going slutty. I think my main female villain is rather on the top heavy side. Had to edit one of her outfits to give her an obvious top, original top hidden by the trenchcoat, so she stops getting pestered by hormone drienched yobs. -
It's as illegal as any other patch loaded into the data folder including Vidiotmaps, Power Icon pack or silencing sounds. It's frowned upon but as long as we don't cause an issue, the developer backdoor stays in the public release.
I've seen the nude patch, heck I had it for a few days because an SG I belonged to went fairy happy (as in sprites, nymphs, Tinkerbell) on me when costume wing recipes hit (our tech oriented base was turned into a magic one overnight, our conference table was turned into a grove of trees for crying out loud), an email from the SG suggested loading it without saying what it was. I quickly found the whole effect too squicky for me, popping into the base to craft and run into a giggle of what looked like underaged semi-nude girls with wings flittering about so I dumped the mod. Also it was kind of startling to run into a player character outside of the SG who got their costume bits replaced with the patch.
And no, I don't have it anymore or know where to get it. This was just after Issue 9 so over 3 years ago. -
Ah. That's a good reason. They way that some bugs creep back in after a major release I thought the devs broke smoke grenade again.
-
Can I have your stuff?
Seems kind of silly to quit over not getting a permanent version of a Halloween temp power. -
This is the 2nd question in 48 hours about this combo. I smell FotM or perhaps an exploit?

The iPad is a media consumption device. Works great as a browser, if you don't mind living without Flash (but there's an app to get you around that, sort of). But just about everything you want to load onto it is trapped behind Apple's content firewall (aka iTunes/AppStore). Sure you can answer e-mails and such but Ninja is right, it's a giant iPod Touch, which is an iPhone without the phone part (insert "so it's just an iPhone 4" joke here).
Well you can get the versions with cell modem support but need a monthly data plan from ATT or you could get the wifi version and a Verizon cell/wifi router and pay them instead (assuming you want to get online from anywhere, not just where an open wifi router is).
The other option is to get the Macbook Air, it's at least a computer without all the restrictions. What Apple does best with laptops over traditional PC laptops is a battery that can last for most of the day. Why this is so difficult among laptop manufacturers is beyond me. Maybe it's tradition, maybe corporate IT departments enjoy buying multiple battery packs for every laptop a suit takes on the road. -
I can't help but thinking about this Python sketch when we talk about voice command targeting.

What happened is simple. The game grew to big and changed to much.
Way back then we just had CoH Issue 2 to worry about. Since then they've added not only more zones to CoH but the zones in CoV and GR. Also all the old zones from CoH back then have been modified or completely rebuilt in the case of Faultline. We now have the Arena, Wentworth's, AE and the University.
I'm pointing this out because during that first winter event in 2004, with all the Winter Lord PLing, we were playing in completely revamped zones with different objects and textures. It would require a relatively huge effort to reskin all the zones for winter and the geometry to freeze the ponds over and define them as very low friction.
Since 2004 it was easier for the devs to give us events that didn't require such extensive changes.
Maybe they can consider a localized event some year around some of the larger ponds with a WL springing up a freezing over the nearby terrain. -
Quote:That's part of the genre of super vehicle shows. Airwolf, Knight Rider, The Highwayman (think Airwolf meets Knight Rider), Thunder in Paradise. Pretty much ended with Viper until the Knight Rider remake.Originally Posted by ShadowSkill
Anyone remember Street Hawk? -
It was a great little movie with a lot of "before they were stars" power behind it. The sequels weren't as bad as the Robocop sequels.
-
Actually it looks like Gateworld in offline today. The link worked last night but it did bring me to page 2 of the article.

It's because they are save with the player of not character data, while resolution, a function of hardware, needs to be saved locally. For the longest time almost nothing that wasn't related to hardware was saved locally without the user telling the game to.

Quote:If you mean "they" as in how things are done in TV between networks, advertisers and ratings companies. It's also possible that the 30 day delay was but in to increase same night viewership by not giving us an option to catch the show later in the week online. Of course this combined with the first two reasons, putting it on against primetime new programming on the major networks on a new night is assuming the TV viewing is still a zero sum game. If you watch A, then you can't watch B. We want to know how willing you are to watch our show when WE want you to NOT when you want to.
Online viewership/time shifting (Essentially, they're too stupid to figure out a viable way to count for online viewership. I'm sure the 30-day delay helped not-at-all as well.)
SyFy is part of NBC Universal Cable which is now owned by Comcast I think. So is USA Network (and Bravo and others) and their roster of original programing has been thriving with split seasons. However it's usually summer/winter and not fall/spring. But it is starting to look like the more seasoned, higher rated shows like Burn Notice and Psych, Monk before that, are being shifted to fall/spring like regular major network series. Not sure if they are testing the waters for a summer primetime network gig but they are already in syndication on the local third tier broadcast networks. -
My main has been kicked from teams for complaining about not wanting SB, for all of the reasons already given here.
Been kicked from teams because my Ill/Kin doesn't have SB. Didn't fit with her concept.
And wow, it's been a while since I've seen this topic dredged up again. -
Why can't I help thinking about Tae Kwan Leep and boot to the head?
-
Hello, DISNEY! They aren't that clueless.

Wrestling gets good ratings and NBC Universal sticks it on USA and SyFy where they see fit.
I think when SGU was conceived, it was during the success of not only BSG but Lost but near their end. Slow moving stories full of characters, many who are morally ambiguous and basically didn't want to be where they were, trying to make the best of a bad situation. Not surprising that a network tried to take the formula for a show that works and do it again.
Problem is there is a threshold of how much dark, depressing TV we are willing to watch during an economic downturn. I commented last week that the holiday specials of Eureka and Warehouse 13 were breaths of fresh air compared to the endless stream of serious dramas.
Drawn out shows drenched in melancholy aren't doing well anymore. So the pendulum will swing back to episodic shows with 95% happy endings and clear cut heroes and villains. -
They have to graduate someday but Brittany, thought she was a lifer.
Anyways the article only says being considered and there is still a chance that she'll be in both. -
It didn't get good critic ratings unlike last year's over hyped 3D flick because there were no heavy handed messages in it (corporations evil, military evil, nature good, natives good, "white" man bad).
-
Well it's not like there's anything on SyFy anymore that night. But of course it goes up against another geek favorite Supernatural (or Smallville depending on the time slot).
-
But one of his first notable successes were Breakfast at Tiffany's, Operation Petticoat and the TV series Peter Gunn.
He not only produced and directed movies but he also wrote a lot of very early TV series.
He was truly a talent of his age. Sad to see him go. -
Bye Ozzie. Hope you come back and say hi during reactivation weekends.
-
Well Chloe was going to turn into hot alien hybrid chick, so things may have been looking up along the lines of 7 of 9.

The Sarah Jane Adventures is no more kiddy than Cartoon Network's live action series Unnatural History and Tower Prep, all three centered around a group of high school age teens and mysterious goings on.
Yes the computer Mr. Smith in SJA is a little hokey with it popping out of the wall but if you can accept sonic lipstick and K9 underfoot it's fine.
