  1. May I suggest poising your character on a wall or rooftop edge so you can rotate the camera down a tad so you can include their feet. Otherwise you will have to resort to screencaps from either the tailor screen or your ID screen (you will need to paste the screenshot into Paint for instance).
  2. I think it's more the preferred pigeon holing of actors with superhero roles.

    Some didn't want to see Hugh Jackman in roles other than Wolverine and right now some feel the same way about Chris Hemsworth.

    I'm referring to what seems to be major problems with this release ranging from the UI reset to continuing problems with weapon based costume changes, alarmist messages about out of date video drivers, knockback not knockback much, glowing costume parts not glowing anymore, base items can now be targeted and attacked and a number of other "oops".

    Now yes it would be the same list of problems if they pushed this to live on a Tuesday Vs a Thursday but with Thursday they only have one day to come up with an emergency "fix" for the most grievous of these problem before the weekend instead of three.

    Edit: Well that was interesting.

    Anyways back on subject, this little experiment failed big time and unless the development team likes working weekends, NCSoft/Paragon Studios should stick with patches to live on Tuesdays and weekly server backups and reboots on Thursdays.

    Well Maggie doesn't have anyone her age to shag in her group and riding horses around the farm is only going to work so well.

    Glenn is in a similar situation once Andrea's sister got zombied.

    So stick them alone somewhere with little chance of anyone walking in on them, it's only natural that Maggie will be offering.
  6. New stepdad.

    At least Dwayne isn't doing a little kid comedy. And it looks like they've included Nemo tech as well (only watched trailer, had it muted).

    Wow, an ancient page they haven't updated in quite a while or is even reachable through links off their site map.

    On their front page they are on 2.0 Beta 4, current non-beta is still 1.6.2 but I had trouble with it and Ad-aware playing nicely with each other in Windows 7 on my folks' system. I don't use Ad-aware myself due to the large updates it pushes (still on dial-up folks).

    Any chance?

    They wouldn't do a major release on a Thursday. I'm guessing the doggy.

    I haven't tried the 2.0 Beta because I don't want to beta test anti-malware software. Still using 1.6.2 but only as a weekly scanner along with SUPERAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes.

    Well something's out of whack here if this was extracted out of an actual character. You have pre-reqs missing and high level powers in lower level slots.
  13. Looked and most of mine for the boards are set to expire at the end of session.
  14. Even at $220 (but now out of stock), the 1TB, 6Gb/s WD Caviar Black still has 8x the storage capacity of a 128GB Crucial M4 SSD (also meaning it's 8x cheaper per GB).
  15. Well so far Grimm has done Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

    Waiting for Hansel and Gretel.
  16. Well if you all haven't noticed yet, my prices have gone way out of whack due to the current supply crisis with hard drives. Over the last three to four weeks OEM drive prices at NewEgg, TigerDirect and other online parts dealers have doubled to almost tripled pre-disaster prices due to the flooding in Thailand where it seems nearly all hard drives are manufactured. It's not just Western Digital and Seagate in trouble but their suppliers of drive motors and heads assemblies are also in the region.

    The bad news is that it may take up to two years for the supply chain to return to normal operations.
  17. Of course it's faster, it now gets the Fitness pool automatically.

    Sorry, I have a character called Atomic Samurai Robot which is suppose to be a modified Asimo with a positronic brain. Defender, FF/Rad.
  18. Noticed the CoV display in Chuck in last Friday night's episode prominently in the foreground.
  19. Only saw YJ and Batman. YJ rocked hard. Optimus, Batman isn't normally like this episode. Normally a lot more Batman.
  20. I'm guessing two things will come of this.

    First Peter will escape and contact Walternate for help.

    Second, it'll turn out it's not Walternate behind the new shapeshifters but the alternate timeline version of the group from the first season.
  21. If they are pushing a patch to live, it's down.

    Then there's their server weekly maintenance down time.
  22. Looking at the reviews at techpowerUP, at 1920x1200 the 9800GT is roughly 67% the performance of an HD 5770 and the GTX 550Ti is roughly 96% the performance of an HD 5770. Yes it's an indirect comparison but it's the best I can do.

    I hardly call it only one step up. It's 3 tiers higher on Tom's Hardware's graphics card hierarchy chart.
