    Well, let me tell ya, myself and billions of other MMO players the world over were absolutely CRUSHED when we learned that the latest project over there was not Days of Our Lives Online, and the rumors of a Spawn of Sami Special Edition (+15% to all Lying and Scheming powers) and a pre-order exclusive (for at least two weeks after launch) non-ridable Bo Brady motorcycle pet were all false. Probably just as well. With such a short development cycle it was a sure bet the DiMera Clan (PVP-centric) was going to be more or less just a placeholder until the 45-day patch and the Hortons and Alamains (both RPG-centric) weren't even going to be available at launch. Here's hoping someone out there in MMO-land will pick this IP up. It's a guaranteed hit.
  2. If anybody missed it, according to THIS you've got another shot.

    The Walking Dead - Days Gone Bye

    Yeah. First time I used it I was ready for a respec. Instead I 'silenced' the second half of it - the part that just goes on and on and on - and its much better now.

    I'm almost certain they told Cryptic.

  7. The reason I'm asking, and asking HERE, is that there's an ongoing problem with people being spontaneously logged out of these forums. There's a thread about it in the Development/Technical Issues and Bugs section but so far as I can tell that thread is serving no purpose other than as a place for people to commiserate.

    So here's hoping someone will notice this thread and pass it along to someone who can look into it. And to ensure that someone in power, so to speak, sees this thread, I now summon them with the following magic words:

    You mean like parasites that make rats go to where the cats are?

    If a zombie's nose itches, is it real?
  9. What about a separate instance of the zone being invaded, accessible via the train?

    "Invasive Activity detected in Powtown! Board the nearest train to participate! Or don't!"

    Or even a little pop up thingee like a team invitation that, if you click to accept, sends you to the invasion area.

    Unique. Uniquer. Uniquest.

  12. Okay, I'm no fan of zombie movies/comics, but I did find this to be entertaining and will continue watching, but still...

    ...I got the impression that these zombies are the result of some biological boo boo and are not supernaturally empowered. If so, then...

    Why don't the zombies just dry up and blow away?
    Why does it take a head shot to 'kill' one?
    Do their hearts beat?
    Do they breathe?
    If not, how can their brains continue to function?
    Why don't they eat each other?
    Why are they so hungry anyway?
    Are their digestive systems still functioning?
    If a paraplegic/quadriplegic became a zombie, would he or she be able to move the previously paralyzed parts?
    If fleas or ticks or whatever fed off a zombie (or tried to) and then moved to a more nummy normal human, would the normal human be infected?
    Could a chimpanzee become a zombie? What about other mammals?
  13. So... this Darkchylde isn't Illyana Rasputin? Never heard of her.

    I thought this had been debunked. Is there proof one way or the other?

    That should tell you who I am if the craziness doesn't.

    It's not hard to figure out.
    Bases? Bases...

    Ah hah! You are...

    I, uh, enjoy misspellings. I actually collect them.

    Here's a sample:

    abule (able)
    accloid (accolade)
    acocunt (account)
    actully (actually)
    acutlaya (actually)
    afishial (official)
    anciaty (anxiety)
    aowed (allowed)
    aparneltay (apparently)
    apendite (appendage)
    apitamy (epitome)
    apporpioat (appropriate)
    aseuqaly (equally)
    aspectics (aspects)
    astornotes (astronaughts)


    Usually I can tell what a word is supposed to be by the context in which it is used. Every once in a while I get some that defy all attempts at translation:

    nacline (???)
    nonsesleive (???)
    surcoise (???)

    Um...

    Whatever it was it sure sounded great, and if it was an electric guitar - not saying it actually was an electric guitar, let alone any specific make or model, just speculating here - it would probably have had .008 gauge Ernie Ball strings on it.

    Oh, and when they performed 'Kashmir' live he often played a...

    Thing. Or whatever. Tuned to DADGAD. Probably. If it, you know, had strings. Which maybe it didn't.

  25. As an aside, is there still much of a market for joysticks? I went through a lot of them back in the proverbial day when games like <bleep!> and <bleep!> and <bleep!> were big. I sure wish <bleep!> would make a comeback.
