  2. Massive lag and numerous crashes. But it is cool to see the Signature villains driving Giant Monsters through the zones and stomping everyone in their path.

    A message board of forum, however is like a bar or a dance club, where everyone comes in to meet with other people, talk, and have fun.

    That's the difference. One is about the person talking about themselves at each other, and the other is about bonding with other people.

    It's the difference between Napoleon Dynamite and "Who's Line Is It Anyway?".
    Yeah, I'm not seeing a difference between that and your board. After all, you outed yourself there as an attention ***** and wanted to recruit more people. So, yeah.

    Besides, the sterling quality of friends and family I have means there's almost none of the "look at me!" Jersey Shore/Real Housewives limelight addiction going on.
  4. I was reluctant to join Facebook, but I did. Now I enjoy it. I like getting updates from friends and family I don't get to see often.

    For instance, I almost never got to chat with my friend Bill (the busy actor), but now we get to talk about once a week. My cousin who was deployed to Afghanistan used FB to check in (he's back in Germany now) and my cousins in London upload photos from their lives. One's 20 in college and the other is 40 with 3 kids, so I get to see the range of experiences London offers.

    My really good friends and I use it as a performance / "hey isn't this site cool?" type of thing.

    The local animal shelter I'm involved with uses it for outreach, getting donations and spreading the word about events and things going on. (Like how we recently rescued 44 dogs from a hoarding case.)

  6. Punting bad guys off of anything high. The more the merrier, the higher the better. I love it so.

    Super BASE jumping. I actually get the stomach-dropping feeling if I do it just right.
  7. My Fire/Fire Blaster and Electric/Electric Brute were so fun they raced to 50.

    I also love my Dual Blades/Willpower Scrapper -- lethal poetry in motion.
  8. Fact: I invented punchvoke, Brutes and mouse-over info on the Enhancement screen. It's true!
  9. I recently dinged 45. I own two canes. Not even kidding. Two of my SG friends are 46.

    Geezer power, acti-<cough cough wheeze>... vate. In a minute.

    The Boot Myth

    I was once kicked from a team because my Scrapper was killing more efficiently than the team leader's Scrapper.

    Stupid people are stupid. </em shrug>

    heck, i was driving myself nuts last night with my claws stalker in the arachnos wedding cake base, because focus kept knocking enemies off the ledges but not finishing them, but it still looked cool enough that i didnt change my chain to something that wouldn't raise my blood pressure.
    After 6 years, I am still not tired of kicking baddies off of stuff. The higher the better.

    Did I miss something? Since when is teleport more prevalent? I can't even recall the last time I saw someone using teleport. Super Speed and Fly would be the two major travel powers I usually see, with the Martial Arts pack run being third.

    But at the same time, my inner badge ***** is going: "gimme! gimme! gimme! I want to spam everybody every time I get a badge too!"

    It's entirely possible to add such functionality to HeroStats, or even exporting a feed from City Info Terminal. But... should we have that functionality? What do you fellow players think?

    Personally, I'd like the functionality as long as I can control what badges get posted on Facebook. I get about 30 badges every time I create a new character; I don't want to flood my page with all those. And exploration badges are too easy, I wouldn't care about posting those so much. But things like Master of X TF I would really like to show off.

    And hey, it'd be good promotion for the game.

    Dude, your name is Kristen?
  14. Based on some feedback, I added Lts to a mission, which caused the MA to go over the limit. (Which is probably why I didn't have them in the first place -- lesson learned: never, ever listen to people who want higher-ranked enemies for more xp. Buncha greedy morons who can't appreciate my art.)

    But now I can't take them out. How do I remove these Lts from my custom group? The "add/remove all" button does nothing, apparently. Please tell me I don't have to completely redo this group.

Most maps I can almost run with my eyes closed at this point.

    Travel power suppression. I HATE this mechanic. HATE. IT.

    Related to the last item, rooting while activating powers. I'd love to see this pretty much done away with, with the exception of a few powers (e.g., snipes, Tier 9 powers, etc.).
    This is exactly my list, as well.

    New Mids' Update

    Awesome, I loves me the Mids.
  18. I love that Nike IX pic. I don't know how I missed it on DA.

    Artz!

    That's some dang cool pitchers you got yourself there.
  20. Here's a new one I saw last night and thought it was nifty:

  21. Logged in and snagged some more. Space Monkey's is a song in the J-pop style, sort of like the Teen Titans theme song.







  22. I have some short ones. Here's some I can find readily:







  23. I have what I think is a fairly original take on a catgirl.

    Coppercat

  24. Just following on from my post earlier, is all.

    Side note: coming home to Dayton tomorrow for the Xmas thing.
