Wow...am I actually...EXCITED for this last season?

Hmm...I think I need to lay down now.

Can. Not. Wait. This looks like a VERY worthy successor to Justice League/Justice League Unlimited and Teen Titans...both of which I enjoyed for different reasons.

Oh and is it just me, or does the JLA group shot look like the same animation from "The Batman" series?

That a lot of good, fun news folks. Makes me happy in special areas!

One of my old college friends wanted to take a break from WoW (though he's still playing), and I spent Saturday night with him and an SG member on Vent helping him with character creation, power sets, etc. My boy Hella suggested we go to Firebase Zulu so he could get our new friend a jetpack, and we got him up a handful of levels.

Cut to Monday, College Dave posted on my Facebook page that he has more questions now, but his reply is to have me log on to Vent where he's already with Hella IN PRAETORA! SAY WHAAAAAAAA?

Yeah, that's when I learned trial accounts get access to GR. It was a good move, Devs. Show the base games and the new shiny...draw them in to it ALL. Of course being the only kid on the block can't get in yet 'cause he's waiting for his Collector's Edition of GR to come in is a little dissapointing. But it'll come. I keep telling my self "today. It'll be here today. Just check the mailbox on the drive home!"

Well there's always tomorrow...

Mmmm...yeah unlike my missus I specifically asked for the GR Collector's Edition for my birthday (which was the 29th, BTW). My parents ordered it, and I've been patiently waiting knowing I wouldn't receive it any sooner than the 17th.

Cut to last night, and after my friends on Vent were capping on me for NOT being able to get into Praetoria my stupid self gets on the phone asking Mom if she knows when my copy will be delivered. Oy, I tell ya. OY!

On the other hand, it did my heart good to see the servers lit up LIKE CHRISTMAS TREES last night! I hadn't seen such activity since the first Double XP Weekend!!

Pretty much 3/4 of The Aquabats' catalogue.

And the 1966 "Batman" theme.

And the 1978 "Superman" theme.

Gawd I could go on...I'd better not...

Whuddup, Double-Six?

As others have said, welcome back! I think you can tell we're glad to have you return.

Also, I'm sure you've gotten plenty of good advice here, but figured I'd chime in anyway. Four years and about a bajillion comic books has gotta count for something.

o How do you, oh veterans of City of Heroes, make the game feel fresh, or at least somehow continue scrounging up fun?
- Altitus (it's not as bad as you might think! Join us! JOOOIN UUUUUS!!)
- AE Missions. I know AE has gotten a bad rap as a farming house, and many seemed to get turned off by the changes closing some of the farming loops, but man...for those of us who just wanna PLAY? There's a goldmine o' fun admidst some (admitted) garbage, but running some Architect missions, particularly in the early levels, can ease the tedium of "not another Snake mission AGAIN!".
- Set a "Game Date" with my wife. There are many playing couples in the CoXverse, so if you're one why not set a game date with your SO? For the last couple of weekends StarSpangled Soldier and Sweet Annihilation have torn up nearly a half-dozen missions. And I think my wife's character has an CUTE pink sword.

o Do you have any suggestions as to how I can somehow make doing the same lower leveled content feel alright again (like, perhaps building a nifty A.E arc or something)?
- See above.

o Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make the City of Heroes experience feel more social, friendly, and more like an M.M.O.R.P.G rather than a mental abuse machine?
- Find me on Infinity and hit me up. My wife and friends from Texas would be happy to introduce themselves. Me too, of course, but only if you're not a jerkenstein.
