True but considering the bad writing I can see the writers giving Eli an invalid girlfriend to go with the mother dying of Aids he's had to deal with.

Quote:I disagree. I've never been disappointed with a Sean Connery performance regardless if the rest of the film sucked. I'm looking at you Zardoz.Never see a movie because of the actor. They make bad choices, sometimes just for the paycheck. Always follow the writer and/or director whose work you admire.
And if I'm seeing it because the actress is pretty, then I'm not going to listen to the acting. I'll put on my headphones and wait for her to get undressed.
I'm looking at you Perils of Gwendoline.

Quote:You are right. The only thing stopping the creation of animal models is the amount of work to reanimate everything for them. There is no engine limit in place for this one.

Oh and redoing/creating costume pieces for them.
LIES!!!
Everyone knows animal models require a diesel engine and the COH engine runs on Jet Fuel. -
Quote:That's what I'm anticipating, and why I said thread instead of post. The OP's post itself is innocent enough but depending on who drops in to make a comment . . .This hardly a doom thread. A question was asked. Though I suppose this could turn into a doom thread depending on who gets involved.
But then again I'm a pessimist.

Quote:I know some people in the industry, and there's an... interesting story behind this movie.
Apparently, the studio behind this movie is also am FX house, and they had been contracted to do several FOX films, which they half-*****. (Wolverine is one of these films, for a point of reference). The last one they worked on was an alien invasion film that was originally due out this month, called "Invasion LA" or something like that, but the project was held up by the FX house... yes, the production studio for Skyline.
So instead of working on the project they were contractually obligated to work on, they put the money they were supposed to spend on these projects into their own picture, and swiped assets from Invasion LA for it as well, bumping that picture back so it would look like a ripoff of Skyline. Then they get to brag that the only spent ~10 million to make Skyline, but the only reason that's true is because of the "extra" money from their other projects and stolen assets from the film they sabotaged.
Then it apparently sucks anyway.
So this would be one of those rare situations when downloading a free torrent of the movie wouldn't actually be piracy because you'd be helping prevent the thieving b***ards from making money off of money they embezzled from someone else? -
Quote:Going by what happened in the other shows when they were using the "communication" stones, what happened to your conscioussness translated back to your own body. So if the possessed body dies the shock would kill the other body as well.So we can assume that Gin's body is dead and Rush's girlfriend's mind was in her body so does that mean the Gin died the same moment that her body died or is she trapped in Rush's girlfriend's body or are both minds trapped in the same body on Earth? We are either dealing with two dead girlfriends, one dead girlfriend and one live girlfriend, or some weird bodyswapping incident. I don't think that this type of death has ever been discussed before in Stargate with the communication stones. I would imagine that the Ancients would have some type of failsafe to deal with these problems unless Earth ignored those failsafes again.
But it's possible that the device they came up with to allow two way body swapping prevents that from happening. -
I'll be the first to say it. I want PeeWee Herman's death scene as my defeat emote.

Diggis provided the only plausible argument for spending that kind of money.

Someone had made a thread about this same thing in the suggestion forums last week (I think the mods deleted it) complaining about whoever is selling the codes. I suggested that the devs wait until the auctions are over and then about a week or so after they closed make an announcement that they are unlocking those particular costumes for everyone for free, maybe as part of a promotion for selling a costume code booster.
Then we can all laugh at the people that just spent $200 bucks on their codes, because you know they'll be angry enough to make a nerdrage post about how they "got screwed". -
Quote:I sincerely hope that you get the recipe back but you may have to write this off as a loss. Good luck tho.I sent a 20million inf recipe (first thing like that I have ever had) to @bloodminion instead of @bloodchilde. I actually had an account Bloodminion in Asheron's Call and somehow got mixed up. It is late and I am dumb even when awake.
Is there any way that I can find out if the account is even active? I suspect I have lost the item. I sent a message but have little hope.
I hate using email as storage and transfer. -
Ya know, since I19 open beta started you could all go onto the beta test server and use the auto leveling (while it's being offered) to figure out how you want to use the freespecs to fix your builds.

Quote:Ummm, whut? You've already added slots to Stamina and Health before it's live? There is NO way to respec before it goes live if you want to do this.
Who said anything about slotting Fitness before it becomes inherent? I said I was able to use the freespecs we got from I18 to pull out the enhancements that I had slotted in Fitness and put any over 12 into other powers. This means I don't have to sacrifice any enhancements when I use the I19 freespec to adjust the build to include the new inherent fitness powers.
Quite often people that don't plan their respecs out ahead of time find themselves in the postion of having to sacrifice enhancements that they could have used if they could pull more than ten off of a build.
On the characters I choose to keep the build I designed after removing Fitness with my I18 freespecs on my lower level characters, I can simply add the slots to the Fitness pool as those characters level. As far as my "finished" characters are concerned the purpose of using the I18 freespecs was to make sure I don't have to sacrifice any enhancements I have already slotted. I can use the I19 freespecs to do a quick fine tuning of their builds, and I won't need more than 1 freespec to do that.Quote:Um, that doesn't help you should you actually want to put slots in your new inherent Fitness powers.
Actually it does. The people that took the time to get ready before I19 goes live will know exactly which characters "need" the I19 respecs. For example, I was able to determine that of my 80+ characters less than a dozen will "need" one of the I19 respecs to make the final Fitness slotting adjustments. I can get those respecs done in less than a week. -
Simple. I already went thru all my characters (80+) and used the freespecs they gave us when I18 went live in August. So we've had more than enough time since we learned about Fitness becoming inherent to get all our characters ready before I19 goes live. Procrastination isn't a viable justification for not being ready.
Furthermore I found while using those freespecs that not once did I need to pull more than the 10 allowed enhancements off of any of my characters. Not needing to take Fitness let me pick up to 4 different powers that easily allowed me to slot the excess enhancements that respeccing out of Fitness opened up. For example grabbing Medicine and throwing 3 heals into Aid Other, or throwing a couple of extra Run/Jumps into one of the SuperSpeed and SuperJump powers.
The truth is that most people won't even need both freespecs. The devs are giving out two of them because a small portion of the playerbase use dual builds, and the extra freespec will allow them to "fix" both builds.
When the devs make changes to a powerset it has always been their policy to give freespecs to everyone regardless if they needed it or not. -
Quote:This.It's still there. I usually talk in character on teams, and if I do it, other people start doing it too.
RP is not, IMHO, at its best as a separate activity undertaken instead of missions or arcs. It's at its best as the way you play your missions and arcs.
Consider the difference:

Quote:Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing of all about the game, and that's to have fun. Enjoy the ride, learn about how things work and don't try to jump straight into the deep end; there's plenty of fun to be had in the shallow end of the pool before you learn how to swim.
Welcome to the game and always remember to have fun.
This cannot be emphasized enough. Also as a new player, please don't get seduced by the AE until after you've checked the rest of the game out. Sure the AE is a useful tool but if that's all you do you'll be missing out on 95% of the game. We've seen a lot of new players get bored of the AE and quit without ever realizing everything else the game has to offer.
Oh and, Welcome to the game. -
Quote:This.Fact A: It's no more work to make a new zone than to revamp an old one.
Fact B: The devs would rather have one good zone and one decent one than one good one.
QED
Personally I'd rather have them adding new zones to fill in the gaps between factions (like zones for levels 20-50 goldside) than waste it on revamping old zones. -
Quote:Well, I can speak for me, and I wouldn't have bothered. Games are supposed to be fun and entertainment. What games are not supposed to be is work, waiting and hardship. We have a very real world for that. Having to play a character who bugs me greatly because he or she is not "complete" really isn't something I want to do with my free time.
Plenty of people have to wait to complete their characters because the devs have chosen to make certain things unlock at higher levels. Look at the ITF. I refused to create my Roman warrior for a year because I was waiting for the Valentines Event so I could at least have a toga costume to wear while I waited to get high enough to do the ITF. -
Quote:Was Dillinger in disguise when he went to the theatre the night he was gunned down by the police? He wasn't. He made no effort to conceal his identity. He rightfully assumed that no ordinary citizen would get involved because they were afraid of his reputation.If you just want to go out for a night on the town to catch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows at the nearest theater without having to take an army with you, eat some popcorn, and chill out, it's easier to do that unmolested if you can dress down, buy a ticket, and watch the flick. If you're in costume, you have to take the employees hostage, force them to do your bidding, and stave off any heroes who might come to stop you. Chances are, you won't get to watch the movie the way you want to.
Just saying.
The woman that actually notified the cops he was at the movies was another criminal. She ran a brothel and was undergoing deportation from immigration. She cut a deal with the feds to turn him in so she could stay in the country.
Villains have more to fear from their own associates than they do the average citizen. -
Why do I get the feeling that someone at sifee wants this show to fail?
