Hyperstrike

It's also possible that this is a default behavior when you send an item to a global that does not exist.

Now imagine I want to take my Hecatomb and mail it to myself at @Hyperstrike1.

Someone slips me a roofie and in my delerium, I managed to fat-finger in @Hyperstrike11_11_11 which doesn't exist in the system.

Likely it just bounces in the mail system immediately and returns the item to me. Rather than just disappearing off into the aether.

Ah okay. Didn't zone, but leveling did fix it.

I know they've opened up second tier powers in the Travel APPs. But, just now, I trained my villain up to level 4 and was allowed to select Fly.

Yet, it didn't appear on my tray, and was grayed out in the Powers Window.

So I get screens doing this to me.

Also, previously, I ran the "talk to a guy" mission from Matthew Burke in Fire Wire's arc that was supposed to give me an arachnos costume. It didn't, but the guy talked to me anyhow. It did something similar to this in my Enhancement Window too.

Hyper's Momma's Sloppy Joes

1 pound Ground Beef
1/2 cup of ketchup (Heinz by preference)
1-1/2 tablespoon of finely diced onion (or onion flakes if you're feeling lazy)
3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
1 cup of water
1 6oz. can of tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
2 tablespoons of vinegar

OPTIONAL:
1-1/2 teaspoon of dried mustard
1 teaspoon of paprika


Drop the can of tomato paste into a pot
Add the water, vinegar, worcestershire, and ketchup.
Heat it on low and stir it until you get an even consistency.
Stir in the dry ingredients.
Turn the heat up to medium
Brown the beef.
Strain it and rinse in hot water to remove excess grease
Add beef to sauce
Let it cook on medium for 10-15 minutes.

It's now ready to serve. Hotdog buns work fairly well, but hamburger buns work fine too.

If this is more than can be eaten in a single sitting, simply put it in a ziplock container (or something similar). It can be nuked just fine without exploding over everything. Just add a little water to it (maybe a teaspoon).



Basically this is a relatively quick and easy dish to set up. You dirty two pots and a strainer. But only one really needs any real work for cleanup.


Micro Meatloaf/Meatballs

1 pound of ground beef
1 tablespoon of finely diced onions or onion flakes
3/4 cup of bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon of meat tenderizer
1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon of pepper
1 egg

(For meatballs only)
1/2 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of parsley flakes

Because I'm single (and because it cooks quicker and more evenly) I tend to make mini-meatloafs.

Basically just knead the ingredients together and form it into vaguely loaf-shaped lumps.

Use a CorningWare (or other oven-safe glass/ceramic) dish with a glass lid. Put a little water in the bottom (just enough to coat it evenly). This will prevent the loaf/loaves from sticking/burning.

Place the loaves in and cover the dish.

Cook at 350 degrees for ABOUT an hour. Don't simply set a timer and come back. Check on it periodically. With smaller mini-loaves, once they're toasted brown on top, they're usually done inside. With a larger single loaf, you're need to give it a bit more cooking time.

If you want to use a meat thermometer, the minimum temperature at which the meat should be considered safe to eat will be 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Note, this doesn't necessarily mean the meat is fully browned at this point.

Once they're done to taste, pull them out of the oven and remove them from the dish immediately. Otherwise they'll absorb all the fat floating around in the bottom of the dish.

My family was never much on the tomato paste on top with meatloaf. And since I was an insatiable eating machine as a child, the food was pretty much ready-served at this point. But you can garnish your meatloaf in any way you wish.

Note: If you're single, this is going to be several meals worth of food. I recommend storing in CorningWare if you're going to be eating it very soon. If it's going to be a bit, put the remainder in ziplock bags and they freeze just fine.

I don't recommend nuking them to reheat. Especially ones that went into the freezer. This results in toughness (and NOT the APP power). Place them in a CorningWare dish and reheat at 300 degrees. Again, with a small amount of water on the bottom of the dish.

Pfft. I'm not twinking my new tank at all. He's going to brought up to 50 the same damn way the ORIGINAL Hyperstrike was!

{Aide} Uh boss. the original Hyperstrike was brought up on excessive amounts of street sweeping.

Okay so slightly BETTER than the way the ORIGINAL Hyperstrike was!

He's already sitting on something like 6 million at level 19 (I've been lazy about marketing with him). But by the time he hits 22, he'll have at least 8 figures working the market for him and be fully SO'ed out.

Been trying to see the "Warrior" film all week, but can't fit the limited showtimes in my area into my schedule (going to one in about 15 minutes since the game's down for patching).

So, instead, I went and caught Rise of The Planet of The Apes last night.

I actually enjoyed it. The first half is a little slow, but quite thought provoking. The second half has all the ape-delivered beatdown action you'd expect from such a film.

And I'll say it again. It's a damn shame that Andy Serkis is best known for never having his face truly on the screen. But the man is absolutely phenomenal at it!

Not going to get too much into spoilers here.

Draco Malfoy gets the signature line for the property in this one.
Rodney McKay, playing against type but still a living engine of destruction.
I love how they tied the original film into it as well.
Someone seems to have forgotten that in a truly 3-dimensional environment there's no such thing as "front lines".
