What's the point spread of people doing that ten times in one day then coming back here to complain they have nothing more to do the instant that comes out?

Except that most of those rooms, while realistic, were empty of pretty much everything.

Actually, Sam being a non-native English speaker might be exactly why he's seeing the narrative the way he is.

Back when I was in High School, I took a single year of German and the German language teacher, Frau Ley, mentioned that non-native Germans speak more 'proper' German once they learn enough, even if they live in Germany. The reason? They go home and speak English to their family while the German kids speak the more slang and stylized German.

One of my friends is Afrikaans and speaks a very proper English to me when we're chatting online or yelling bloodthirsty obscenities during Team Fortress 2 (and if he didn't have such a small monthly bandwidth limit, I'd have him on CoH by now). That's because he learned the exact way English works and not how we chat/talk to others in shorthand, local dialects and such.

Heck, talking to people once I moved to Georgia was a learning experience.

"Hey"
Yeah?
"Yahaight?"
Hungry but yeah. Djeet yet?
"Nah, joo?"
Yumpto?
"Ahhight."

What's that thing? Thingamabob? AHhh ahhh AHHHH!

Much like the idea of Fire Armor 'flaring' when being hit, you could easily make Stone and Ice 'chip away' and regrow.

As the fire would flare up as it absorbs some of the blow, making it hurt less when it reaches you, so would the more solid stone and ice chip, crack or break away, helping to represent the armor deflecting/redirecting the blow.

I can remember there was a patch note somewhere about the Drum emote that they had to edit it because it was causing undue lag to the server when people used it.

*dives into Paragonwiki*

There it is.
Well, "Lag" and "Performace" are probably two different things, so I'm more than likely wrong. :P

What texture pack are you using?

You can easily expand that to any story arc that has a set beginning and ending. I don't mean the 'Arrest the Skull leaders' (which mission isn't as epic as it should be for taking down the brothers), I mean the ones that have an ending that's pretty much exclusive to repeat. Like the Council arc with the time traveling Nazi; he comes to the future, you stop him from learning about how to change WWII, and you get a letter from Requiem thanking you. The ending text says the time traveler has Time Cancer and will die in a month or two.

It's well beyond the Willing Suspension of Disbelief to say that each and every character has arrested him, and that there is a whole conga line of Time Traveled soldiers waiting to die from their Time Cancers, especially since the arc is written in a way that makes it impossible for him to do it again; the contact has no information on the soldier time traveling and your actions stop him permanently.

There are some things that can be correlated with that, at least to a point.

Raw Rockey Mountain Oysters are nasty. I've never had them, but I know they are.

There was one gameshow a few years back that featured people eating the nastiest things one could imagine, and they used that as one of the things to eat. Granted, they didn't use the goat version, they used them from a bull so they were larger and they made sure they were filled with the bull's little swimmers just to ensure Full On Nasty.

You can change that yourself, and it doesn't even require a bind/macro command.

Go to Options: Key Bindings

Then about half-way down the list or so you'll find "Targeting", it'll have Tab as Target Next Enemy. Just above it (I think) will be Target Nearest Enemy. Just click and press Tab. I prefer to have Tab as Target Nearest Enemy and Tilde ( the ~ one that's before 1 on the keyboard) as Target Next.

It could be possible, in theory at least. If they used a modified version of Chain Induction.

Maybe?

It also depends on the game. I myself dislike the PVP found in CoH, even dueling with my sweetheart for RP purposes is annoying.

But Team Fortress 2? I enjoy it on occasion. Granted, I never really play any of the combat classes and 90% of my time there is on a Medic (never enough of us Medics), but I still enjoy it here and there.

I prefer Co-op though, even if it's gone the way of the Dodo in most FPS games. One of my favorites was having a Quake 2 co-op game where each of us stuck to a weapon niche; CQB (Shotguns), Fire Support (machinegun/Minigun/Hyper Blaster) and Explosives (Grenade Launcher/Rocket Launcher/BFG10K). It's why Left 4 Dead 1/2 co-op is one of my current favorites; it's a pretty well done co-op game where co-op is the focus.

I just wish my circle of friends were willing to play Civ IV with me.

Back when Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight was brand new, I pretty much got my fill of deathmatch. My friends loved it to no end, but it slowly got more and more boring to me. It got even more boring by the time Quake 3 Arena came out. Heck, a buddy of mine told me that a guy in his college had one MILLION kills in Q3A. I'm not sure HOW someone could like the game that much to play it to that extent. And he had that score back when MPlayer (or was it MSN Gaming Zone?) was around for everyone to see. After being burned out on deathmatch games it took me forever to finally get and try Team Fortress 2.

They're not new, those are (or look like based on the stripe) Rough Leather gloves. The positioning just hides the stiching (or it's too far away).

They almost look like prototype versions of Praetorian Clockwork.

You could try Fallout: New Vegas, that was made by the Black Isle crew (most of the Fallout 1 and 2 guys even) so the spirit of their ways is there (mostly).

A friend of mine has gone by 'Virago' for quite some time online as well, and was a little annoyed that she had to take something else for CoH; she thought Virago was a pretty unique name.

That's not a bug, Animal Fur IS Monstrous Fur. It's just that you can add details to Animal Fur like you can with Tights, while Monstrous Fur you can't.
