  1. I've watch the first 3 episodes of both now and I am slightly favouring Grimm. Although I do find the Evil Queen/Mayor eminently watchable.

    My problems with Once Upon A Time mainly take the form of complaining to myself that the character's motives are all somewhat pantomime followed quickly by *facepalm*

    Once Upon A Time has also made me realise how bitchy I am! I mean, this look does absolutely nothing for you! She looks far sexier as the Major.

    Plus the Huntsman totally has the hots for the Major.

    No. Opps!
  3. Just want to say (and I think this very thread supports it) that audiences don't type-cast actors, producers do.

    It also annoys me when the news agencies run stories about "actor/actress from successful cult genre X performing in mainstream genre Y" because they will inevitably do a bit about "fans of cult genre X coming to watch genre Y" and it will usually be pretty condescending. Whereas the simple truth is that people will follow actors they enjoy.

    I quite enjoyed Space Marine. Not a very long game but fun. The hero gets led away by the Inquisition at the end. Which I was (sorry Monty Python) totally expecting.

    Having drunk what American's call tea I am not surprised. I'd dump it in the harbour too!

    True.

    However I don't think I have ever seen a definition of MMO that includes "forced teaming" so in the context of this thread that comment is pointless.

    But but ...

    personally i think the badge from that (VIP/destined one) should be awarded to you if you have a VIP account (ie make it a tier 9 VIP paragon reward)

    the other stuff in the collector edition (heroclix figures, ect) i dont want anyway
    As I said above everything from the Collectors edition (except the Hero click) is also available in the Deluxe edition which can be had for under £10, probably under $10. That includes the VIP Badge.

    Not going to tell you what my lady has made me watch, although I put my foot down when she suggested Twilight.

    Or do people team up somewhere first and then queue up for it?
    The 3 or 4 minutes is a LIE!

    The quick way is to go to Pocket D and join a league there. Only use the LFG stuff for Incarnate Trials if you have something else to do for the next 40 minutes thats not going to require you enter a closed instance.

    Are you aware we all now know you've seen it?

  14. City of Heroes Deluxe Version on Amazon

    Ideal for starting a new account. If you want to upgrade your account you have to go through Customer Support because (as I said above) the web site upgrade no longer works for these items. Customer Support with want the serial code for your original account and a scan of the serial code from the box.

    That's what I was expecting this thread to be about


    Coincidentally (given some of the discussion above) its the one area of the game I have found that legitimately justifies triple stacking Lucks. At least, that's how I complete that section

    The only reason the collectors edition is that expensive is because of the "real world stuff" that comes with it i.e. the hero click figure.

    You can buy the City of Heroes Deluxe (EU version) for under Ten English Pounds (I paid less than £6) and the nice people in Customer Support will apply the code to your account (since the web upgrade no longer works for these). The Deluxe version has everything the collectors edition has except the Statesman Hero Click, I believe.

    PS: My account is a NA account, in case you are wondering.

    PPS: Yes, I bought it solely so my Ice Controller could Power Slide
  17. Unusually for Hollywood in recent years it seems to be doing the same with males actors. Or "young" male actors anyway. When I saw trailers for Beastly I thought, "I've have seen deliberately uglier tat and piercing combos on my walk to work!"

    My knowledge of other mmos is almost entirely second hand but I believe City of Heroes creates more private mission instances that most other games. And if the instance (or dungeon) is "open" then the question of there being a gate on team size doesn't come in to it.

    I could be wrong though as I am a one MMO kind of guy
  19. BBC News Article about Steam Hacking

    My experience with Steam has left me with a great dislike for the service. Now excuse me while I go change my account passwords.

    Actually that list has me worried. More than one in that list has phoned home their last film performance
  21. That trailer worked in that I am now interested in this film rather than writing it off completely.

    I'm sorry? What? Generally speaking my personal tastes go brunettes > blondes but in this case its most definitely Theron > Stewart.
