Happy (Day After Your) Birthday!

It won't be fixed until either A) Jelsoft admits the problem is on their end, as it happens on multiple vBBs across the internet, or 2) Whoever is in charge of the forum software stuff at NCSoft realizes that IPB.Pro is the way to go.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

While I was standing in IP tonight, waiting for more people to show up to run the Sister Psycho WTF, I passed the time looking at the Info Window of other people there.

Then, I brought mine up, and went to the Alignment Tab...

It seems that there's a new option in that tab. You can allow other players to see your Alignment tab, if you desire. It seems the option is off by default.

I'm pretty sure this didn't make it into any Patch Notes.

In 2006, our car died, and we needed a new one. We ended up with a 2000 Chevy Malibu.

That car lasted us 5 years, and we definatly got our money out of it.

But it's old. The front end makes odd noises. It needs new tires. The AC is starting to go. And, best of all, there are no working turn signals, due to a problem during manufactuing, and Chevy refuses to do anything about it for the model we have.

While I was at work today, The Wife™ got an e-mail from her mother, who wanted to come down and have lunch (she lives about an hour-ish away). Apparently, over lunch, they got to talking about a car dealership commercial they had both, seperatly, heard on the radio. It really interested them, so after lunch, they decided to drive over to said Dealership, and ask for more details.

I guess that, with the economy being the way it is right now, people who work on commission are desperate to make a sale. Not only did they agree to the monthly payment amount that The Wife™ wanted, but they also gave her Permanent 0% Interest, and let her test drive the car, with no salesperson, for 2 and a half hours.

The Wife™ picked me up from work in the car they were letting her test drive, and we stopped by the house to talk about the possibility of buying the car. After weighing the Pros and Cons, we decided to go ahead and buy it. It essentially came down to the fact that the Malibu is 11 years old, and it's better to be Proactive and buy a new car now, rather than be Reactive, and buy a new one when we had no choice (which is how we ended up with the Malibu in the first place).

So, we went back to the Dealership, told them we wanted the car, and got to work on the paperwork. Of course, the Finance Dude tried to get more money out of us. Which he did. But all he got was an additional $11 a month. We got 3 years of miscellaneous maintenance, including tire rotation, and a locked-in price for oil changes. Not bad for $11.

And so, we left, the proud owners* of a brand new 2011 Metallic Blue Nissan Sentra:

No new images to add. Well, at least not fan art ones. But an update about me...

Congratulations!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARIEL'!

Oh man, that was GREAT!

Don't worry. The crazy is why I like you. Well, that, and the first post of yours I ever saw had that awesome Jareth avatar.

While running the mission Betray Dr. Hetzfeld from the contact Dr. Hetzfeld in Neutropolis, I found a hole in the map. It's a doorway in the wall that has no door, and leads to an empty black space. If you step through, you fall to the bottom of the map, and are left with 1 HP. It is on the map P_TECH_BIO_15_LAYOUT_02_02, at /loc 409.0 -32.0 350.7 facing West.

Congratulations!

Happy Birthday, Lord_Goat!

So, last week, I took my secondary on a STF, and got a NotW. Neat! All I needed was to get enough Shards to make the Uncommon, and then I'd be one step closer to the Rare.

Last night, I took that character on an ITF, and ended with exactly 20 Shards, the number I needed to make the components to craft my Uncommon. Double neat!

So, I crafted it, and then started looking at what I needed for the Rare. Turns out, I had everything but a Gr'ai Matter. Off to the RWZ I went!

Both of the characters that are participating in the Incarnate System are now slotted with the Rares! Triple Neat!

Sadly, I'm probably going to end up a week behind in unlocking the Very Rare, as I refuse to run the ******** that is either 5th Column TF.

If you're using the /target_custom_next <NAME> bind/macro for Foe-Hunting (ex: Defeat 100 Underbosses for this Badge), it really helps if you add in the enemy and alive flags, too:

/target_custom_next enemy alive Underboss

Otherwise, it'll pick up the one(s) you just defeated. I throw the enemy flag in there too, because I can't tell you the number of times I've been in a zone, hunting, and someone zips by, only for me to target them because they have a name like Devil's Underboss or something. >.< (Also, because I'm lazy, and tend to not enter the entire name, so if I enter Wolf when hunting Warwolves, I end up targeting Shadow Ravenwolf if he's nearby.)

Mystic Cross might be right. I think the problem lies with the Tip Missions. I don't notice them scaling higher than they should when running Tips on my 50s, but when I started working on bringing my 22 Dominator to Rogue, I constantly found foes were averaging +1 to me, even though the character is at the default +0/x0.

I haven't tried exiting or resetting to see if that changes anything, but if I remember, I'll give it a try.

Ello, Zweihander!

It's a happy birthday!

Meanwhile, I think the end of my list of HBAS may be catching up with the start of it... o.o

Happy Birthday!
