    On TV, several weeks ago - and I've heard it more than once, but always when I was occupied with something else and wasn't really watching. I've looked at some recent soundtrack albums, but so far haven't had any luck there.
  2. I will make even MOAR new words.

    Ahem.

    de = he, she
    dem = him, her
    der = his, her

    "Here de is."
    "I see dem."
    "We asked dem to join the team but de hadn't equipped der Alpha slot."
    "De can do it demself."

    I got nothin'.

    Not even sure the chord progression is right. I know there's a video and I'm pretty sure it's of fairly recent vintage. I have this vague impression of it being about rebellious elderly folks possibly driving around in the desert... and in my head it sounds kinda like The Wallflowers, but with a little more punch.

    Someday I'll hear it again. In the meantime I've scoured various Top 100 lists ranging from 2008-2010 and so far have found nothing.

    Name That Song

    Okay, I've had some song or other stuck in my head for over a week now, but I have no idea what it is, who it's by, or anything at all about it except for this part, which I think is the chorus, and which may be entirely wrong:

    ||: G / / / | D / / / | Em / / / | Bm / / / | C / / / | G / / / |D / / / | D / / / :||


    Chords played as 8th notes with a fairly chunky over-driven guitar tone.



    I figure there's gotta be somebody here that plays guitar or some other musical instrument that might recognize the song from this snippet.

    So... anybody recognize it?
  5. It's not particularly difficult to imagine a time in the not too distant future when mentioning a certain comic book company and/or their signature characters might become a big no no here.
  6. If you have the 'Pilot' badge you either are now or have been EVIL!

    Hmm. Let's ask the experts.



    Nope, not buying it.
  8. You know you play CoH/V too much when random acts of kindness don't cater to FUD and DOOM.
  9. When I logged in last night (Jan 12 2011) around 7 PM EST all the servers were green except Virtue and Freedom. DooOOoOOoOooOooooOm!

    Actually, 'I fix your boo-boos' might be a better description of the certain aspects of the set, as Empathy would be more like, "Aw, poor thing, I bet that hurts. I can almost feel it myself! You should probably see an 'I fix your boo-boos' specialist!"

    When BaBs left there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth here in this section of the forums, and even a bit of a memorial service on one of the servers, which I attended. When Castle left... well, heck, I didn't even know about it until a day or two after the fact when someone made an off-hand remark about it in a thread about something else. Now, I've never wanted Castle to adopt me or anything, but I did feel kinda bad for the guy that his departure was so much less noticed.

    Ahem.

    Fate packs a strike: last night I got auto-logged out of the forums for the second time of the day, and in a moment of frustration I said to myself, "Do it again! Do it one more time today and I *will* go play that new thing! I will!" and before I could even get to the next thread, wakka-FROOM! I was logged out. Again. So, forum maintainer(s), see what you have wrought!
  12. VF-1S Valkyrie vs PXH-1 Phoenix Hawk!
  13. It's high time we contacted the FDA about all this!

    (That being the FUD and DOOM Administration, of course.)

  15. Four-armed character models that are slightly more than twice as tall as 'standard' human models! Which will also be a not so subtle hint at what Paragon Studios next MMO will be - Barsoom Online!

    Tharks rule and Therns drool!

  19. This thread makes me want to say

    "Easy? You call that easy?"

    Just to see if anyone will follow up.
  20. And now, a song.

    Speakers of the FUD
    Speakers of the FUD
    They want to chill your blood
    "Your game is just a dud."
    You were happy until when
    You heard the FUD and then...
    Speakers of the FUD
    Yeah

    They have come to bring the DOOM
    In your brain it soon will bloom
    If you play some other game
    It's just more of the same
    And you may not know it now
    But it all comes back to WoW
    Come to bring the DOOM
    Yeah

    Matt Miller: There’s been a couple of things that we’ve looked at in other games and said that’s good for that type of game, but it doesn’t fit into the City of Heroes universe. I’m wracking my brains over this. The Nemesis System [from Champions Online] was something we looked at, but it was something that would be very limiting in the end. We decided against it. I think that was what pushed us even more into the mission architect system because then it wasn’t pre-canned missions that your nemesis was going to show up in. You could create your own nemesis in the mission architect, and you could craft the story of you fighting your nemesis in the mission architect. Then you could go into that mission and execute that story. That was kind of where our version ended up.

    I'd take that other game's Nemesis System over all the thousands and thousands and thousands of AE arcs any day of the week and (say it with me) twice on Sunday. Too bad various other elements of that game were so darned stinky. Maybe if I wore a clothespin on my nose...
