  1. I have no advice other than to log a support call and to wish you luck getting your very nice costume restored.

    Looks like a very nice breed of dog.

    The problem as I see it is that to continue with our current definitions of pedigree and pure breeds means a dangerously restricted gene pool. The various pedigree associations try to keep the breeds healthy by only allowing mating between animals that have a defect free line back to their grandparents. While this "largely" prevents immediate problems it is not a solution. The only solution is a larger gene pool. Which is why I think the public should be encouraged to buy cross breeds and we should drop the idea of "pedigrees"

    It is a pretty decent TF, and if I'm not mistaken has the second largest enemy model in the game (Jade Spider) in the climax.

    Been a while since I ran it myself, but I remember I liked it.
    Hush! You are not supposed to mention that mission.

    <.<

    >.>

    Its one of the few surviving missions where the signature characters aren't all "incarnated" and a solo hero can come along, beat up Lord Recluse, Ghost Widow et al and prove yourself to be at least Statesman's equal.

    If it wasn't for the fact that the map is so buggy and the AI gets stuck in so many places, that would be one of my favourite missions. However I won't bug it because I fear that if the Devs spend any time on it, it will get Incarnate Trial treatment or else the signature villains will be changed to goons in suits

    Every "pure" breed has some kind of problem, which is why if I get another dog (and I would really really like one) it will be a cross. In recent years I have become ideologically opposed to the whole concept of pedigree breeds.

    I am hoping it will have nothing to do with Praetoria but in that I am expecting to be disappointed.

    I hope it will have a nice little story arc and I will be surprised if that expectation isn't met.

    I am expecting it to use a game mechanic that divorces the missions from the game world but I am hoping it won't. As convenient as they are I dislike these missions that just start "nowhere" as I find them immersion-breaking.

    NOOOOOOOOO!


    Being serious for a minute, the LFG system is truly awful. Its not very good or efficient at producing teams and it entirely divorces game content from the game world.

    Hate hate it

    Yeah and they need to stop doing that. At low levels you get more damage mitigation from hitting things.

    What else are you going to spend your prestige on?

    Admittedly there are fewer reasons to run a base these days, given the many ways we have to get about and the changes to email, but they are still fun and cool.

    I find it interesting that X-Men: First Class felt okay to go with costumes that were very close to the original comic while the first X-Men film had to give everyone rubbishy batman suits. Its as though because the film was set in the 60s the Directors/Producers had the confidence to do a "proper" costume. Even the ridiculous White Queen!

    I am looking forward to The Avengers. Modern super heroes with bright flashy costumes

    I hear this a lot but its not true. The first use of the "F" word on the BBC was in 65 and that caused a bit of bother but no one was bothered by "Bloody". Unless it was in PlaySchool

    Available on a different market

    However you will have to contact support and ask them to apply the code to your account because the web site won't handle this type of upgrade any more.

    I upgraded my North American account using the EU Deluxe DVD Edition (the one in the link above) a couple of months ago.

This doesn't always work, obviously, but it still works more often than not.
    I am a big fan of Doom and prefer the stories where he is written somewhat ambiguously. Like the one where he succeeds in taking over the world and actually does a better job of running it, turning it into a utopian society.

    I feel the same about Mr Fantastic. There was a story where Sue Storm found a diary that suggested Reed Richards predicted the effects the cosmic rays would have and knowingly flew them into the radiation. That Reed Richards was far more interesting that the one the story end with, who had merely been the victim of a frame-up by our favourite Baron.
