    I guess I'm just not that much of a geek then

    Maybe if they'd promoted it better, it might not have been a box office disaster?

    They actually mentioned they were working on more expansions in a recent interview, but from the context I think they meant Issues, not actual boxed expansions.

    You shouldn't be - it has just about zero penetration into the mainstream geekosphere, which is itself a niche market - so it's only appealing to a niche within a niche, and the exec who decide to throw 60 million bucks at something that weak with such a tiny chance of even breaking even will most likely be looking for another job.

    I'm not a hardcore geek, but I do geeky things - I play MMOs, I read comics, I'm a Star Wars fangurl - but I'd never heard of this thing until I saw a thread about it here.
    I asked my geeky friends if they'd heard of - the anser was "no" - I even asked my non-geeky friends - still "no".
    I found some examples from the source material - it was crushingly unfunny.
    I found the trailer on YouTube - it was pants-on-head dumb.

    It's simply not blockbuster material, which is why it's heading for box office bomb/summer disaster status afetr only one week in theaters.

    "Your" thread? You're not the OP - and all threads belong to everyone anyway

    Hey everyone!

    The Union thing's just a sort of running joke from before the forums were merged

  9. When a thread is almost a year old, it's probably better just to start a new one
  10. As far as I know, the disappearing contacts feature can't be turned off.
  11. Probably Atlas Park or Steel Canyon - Atlas because it's the starting zone, and Steel becuase if I lived in Paragon City I'd totally have an apartment there
  12. Include all the booster pack costume parts in the costume creator, and have a little message pop up when you select one form a pack you don't own

    The sandwich was great, thanks for asking.
    Was it a Resistance sandwich, with a delicious filling of freedom between two slices of justifiable violence, or was it a loyalist sandwich, with one tiny sliver of humantiy crushed between two huge slices of oppresion?




  14. I'm still interested to see what Tyrant's done with all the magic and magic users - especially as there don't seem to be a lot of them helping the Resistance, so he may have wiped them all out, or imprisoned them somewhere.

    Hey everyone!

    By thew way, as a first time player, your only option for the first avatar you make will be to be a Praetorian - but once you've completed the Praetorian tutorial, you'll be able to make another avatar as a Hero or a Villain - this is just the devs way of making sure new players see at least a bit of the new content first

    Just like the Rogue Isles - so we now have dirty evil zones sand clean evil zones to contrast with Paragon City

    That would be the evil Union thoughts in your mind trying to tempt you from the right path.

    They probably want all the badges.

    Hey everyone!

    Union's real name is Onion, becuase it smells strongly and makes people cry.
