    Oh yeah, I remember those days.

  2. On that note, I want to thank Vanessa Knighte for letting me lurk around and try to get un-rusty.
  3. Neko,

    Something about that picture just screams "Ice controller theme".

    Having a sad

    Funny thing, it's the old computer that I was using when I firsted start on CoH. I'm almost shocked that the darn thing runs at least as good as the new one, if not better.

    I'd hate to think of the lag I would've seen around the Lord of Winter on the other one.
  5. I'm trying my darnedest, but I think the baby has sapped my brainmeats for the day. The only walken role I can think of besides cowbell are Weapon of Choice and that ridiculous Kangaroo Jack movie.

    Meh. I'm gonna go back to my popcorn and watching loading bars...

    Thanks for all the well wishes. We were actually a little scared for a minute there when they told us she was running a temperature and had low blood pressure. I think someone mentioned she may have had a heart attack. Then some genius thought, "ohey, maybe she just needs more blood". ... gotta love doctors.

    As a matter of fact, I did send her a card the same day it happened, but before I'd heard. Bonus: inclusion of a picture of her great-grandson. Hopefully she's not still hopped up on painkillers when it gets there!

    Having a sad

    So.

    My wife's facebook game has unofficially killed the video card in my primary computer. Fortunately, it's still under warranty. Unfortunately, since the whole system was an internet order, we have to wait for the tech to call to make an appointment to come out to the house. The call is going to be "some time in the next 2 days". Not that too many people see me/know me... unless I can get the settings turned all the way down so that this one doesn't puke on me, I'll be on a little hiatus.

    And as if that isn't bad enough, I've got to figure out how to slave the hard drive so I can get last weeks' college assignment resubmitted. I don't know why the first submission didn't take, but it didn't, and I have a fat little 0 for that week right now. ARGHLEBLEAHEAGLBE!!

    And just to ice the cake (in a bad pun sort of way that I didn't realize until after the fact), my grandmother on the north end of the country fell and broke her hip.

    So yeah, frustrations ahoy!

    I had to go to the eye doctor today. Apparently, I can't see worth crap. Yay for insurance. Boo for dialation.

    I went to the one at the Bank Atlantic Center last year. Got my first taste of their version of O Fortuna there. It made me squee.

    Probably the best part, and hardest to describe, is the violinists jamming like rock stars.

    Well, at least it isn't syrup on my head this time.
  16. Mrr, someone turn off the dayball!

    Prioritizing! Yes, minigames would take up precious dev-time. But if vehicle travel powers were implemented, races would not be far behind.

    No, it wasn't. But it makes the most sense in my mind. That and the patch notes don't leave me too many other clues. There may've been some back-end tweaks that aren't listed in there or something like that.

    Bah, we're on teh intarweb toobz! Let us speculate wildly to no useful resolution!

    Walkin' away.

    Not having any clue how it works, I think maybe something was getting overloaded trying to assign the Walk power to all of the logged out toons. Hence why places like Atlas Park and Peregrine were so full of fail.

    Oh, good. It's not just me.
    And here I was thinking the patch was the problem, but it looks like people were having the problem before the patch dropped.
