  2. After +63 months and so many characters I have to use Excel (moving to MySql soon) to track them:

    1. Joining a team and having someone ask my why I did not take power-so-and-so or pool-so-and-so because they only saw my AT and level while doing the random search.

    2. Asking me why, after a fight, I did not respond to their tells/local/requests for information concerning nothing about the current fight we were just in.

    3. Listening to a player rant and rave about how "uber" they are only to see them faceplant on the first mob that they aggro away from the person that was trying to hold aggro.

    4. Asking if the team wants to ghost a mission, then hearing the complaints that they did not get mob XP.

    Yes, that is to Friday before. But that is when the fun starts.

    Then last year's crew is again striking fear into the heart of those that want to stay in character during the Live Event.

    Ny actually made one of them break character.

    The Sushi thing was something that Rasta, Nomme, Kid and I did last year on the Friday before the con.

    Nomme and Kid were picking up Rasta from the airport as I had already arrived the day before, so we met up at a place in-between SF and SJ.

    I don't remember the name of the place, as I was a little trepidatious about meeting Nomme/Kid face-to-face but having already met Rasta it was easier.

    Plus, it was the first time I had ever had sushi.


    We met up after Rasta got in, which made it about 1:00 PM California time.

    I'll be in on Wednesday, planning on going to Cupertino on Thursday (Geek Mecca).
  9. and the weirdest people show up.

    So there I am, getting random tells from Armorshot which cause me to interrupt some of the normal (normal for me) conversations I am having when I notice that Jello Shooters is going ga-ga

    Scrolling back, I see this interesting name:

    Ishmael

    Then, I see someone start talking about a Positron TF.

    Well, long story short (too late) ran a Positron TF with {IIRC) Ish, Vyx, Wolfie, Arch, Valk and another I can't remember now.


    Funny thing is, it just proved how rusty Ish was.



    I died first.


    Still got 5 levels out of it tho.



    Strange thing, running a Positron TF at 15 and then later running 2nd costume mission

    But I'm mentioning this now for those who might be interested so that there's time to save up for cards, stamps and whatnot.
    I have had it with you people and your dang "Holiday Spirit" and all that happy-happy-joy-joy rot.







    Sorry, had to wrest control of keyboard away from my evil twin brother.

    I'm in.

  12. 63 Months here.

    And in 18 days, 51 Months on second account.

    And... you are congratulated.
  13. Weird thing... I have seen everyone of his movies.

    Even 'Black Dog' I think it was called.

    I never saw partick Swayze in any of those movies, I saw the character he was playing.

    Patrick Swayze I saw on the red carpet, interviews, and on talk shows.

    They were not the same man.

    An actor. He was 'an actor'. He was the character in the movies, but not the man in person.


    He had so much skill.

    No, you wished him a belated happy birthday.
  15. What?

    No major marathon gaming?

    You are getting old dude.

    Just remember... I'm older.

    If I spent the time to figure it out, maybe, but until then... No.
  17. There was a relay race, a long time ago, where it was teamed.

    One member of the team was given a specific enhancement (depending on the number of teams). This enhancement was passed from teammate to teammate and the winning team was the one that got the enhancement to the finish line first.

    The teams did not know which enhancement they were going to get, not the level of it, so stocking enhancements was not a help.

    There was another race, to the shard, that allowed the maximum travel power the person could have for the zone, and it was a specific zone travel pattern (i.e. Atlas to Perez, Perez to Kings, Kings to IP, etc.)

    Not that I am downing this idea, it is unique in limiting it to level One or Two.

    Just throwing out some history.

    Nah, that one was my error.

    Just have to remember to wear a cup when we meet up, so I can continue to walk upright.

    People that hold dead people are frowned upon, that is why you don't get that badge.


    BTW...


    Welcome back.
  24. It was.... interesting once we all were able to hide.

    5 AS's on one person.


    But for some reason, probably the animation time, mine always went off first.


    And no, it is not a medical condition.
