    I'm pretty sure Black Pebble (he was in charge of marketing, right?) is off crying in a corner asking the world why you didn't come up with those scripts before

    In Chrome, right click on this link and select 'Save Link As...' from the menu, and then select where you want it to be downloaded to.

    It's separate. Part of it leaked out many years ago to just a couple people, and the other files leaked out more recently, IIRC.

    It's basically the developer's lore documents from ~2004, including all the original background for most of the original groups (Rularuu, Malta, CoT, Nemesis, etc), including things never before revealed, or things that came out many years later (such as the weapon used against Rularuu in his invasion, we learned about in DA). It doesn't include any recent additions/changes to the lore (there's nothing about Oz), but it's quite a good read. I actually have the 5th Column section of the bible open right now
  4. You mean when you clicked the link to download it, it simply automatically opened the program? What web browser are you using?

    Thank you...
    1. Start City of Heroes
    2. Log in to the character you want to backup
    3. If you want your badges, type /infoself into the chat box
    4. While leaving CoH open in the background, switch over to the folder where you downloaded Sentinel+
    5. Double click the Sentinel file you downloaded
    6. It's done!

    Are there any specific parts you're unsure about? You can repeat steps 2-6 for each of your characters.

  7. Greatest accomplishment? Confusing and dazing hordes of forumites with my inane and insane posts. Including getting at least one PM from a red name asking if I was serious. Although the best response I ever got was the one in my sig


    Oh, you meant in the game? Yeah, I don't really play the game. Not a fan of video games.
  8. Yeah, you should be using beta not test. I'm not even sure what they use test for these days

  10. I love it! It's a wonderful symbolic gesture, at the very least!

    I'll try to attend both (on Virtue), and lead teams as needed. Let's see how many new characters out there we can get to earn that badge!
  11. That's awesome! Really creative usage of unconventional tools to teach important stuff!

    If the game survives, that must be made into an emblem in game! It's even two colors already

    It's easy enough to not read a thread... and repeatedly respond to it
  14. Minecraft with a high resolution texture pack Both creative and survival are rather fun, although tend to appeal to different people (I prefer survival, I like the constraints when I'm trying to make anything). It's also still under quite heavy development by Mojang, and it looks like they've still quite quite a few ideas of where to take it in the future.

    She's one of the main characters in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Which is simply awesome.


    (The Guild, though, is what made her famous, AFAIK... which I've never seen)

    ((actually, come to think of it, why arent there more Science fiction live action shows on TV running? or if they do, why do they seem to get cancelled earlier/faster than the generic fantasy ones?))
    Until recently, half-way decent CGI was absurdly expensive, and scifi generally uses loads of CGI. About a year ago, I decided to watch Andromeda... and holy crap do they reuse the same CGI scenes again and again and again and again! It might not have been as noticeable if you only watched it once a week, instead of several episodes back to back at a time (and then skipping half a season at a time due to all the filler episodes), but it definitely annoyed me.

    Lots of science fiction shows also have fairly elaborate set designs, so that can get quite expensive as well (I think Firefly's ship set was fairly expensive).


    But, I'd say the biggest reason? Network executives hate science fiction, and always try to meddle. Like how Fox reordered the episodes of Firefly so the pilot was the 11th episode (hilariously enough, the last episode made was shown as 10...) which made the story much harder to follow. Or, how Futurama was basically the most pre-empted show in history (I think at least 20% of the episodes were pre-empted... they had enough they never showed to make an entire season. And people think CoH got treated poorly by NCSoft!

    Assuming it just happens to be flying over then, the shadow should be directly under it at noon... but, yeah, far more likely it will be far off to one side. Dynamic shadows are awesome

    Shadow Hunter and Penelope Yin.

    Shadow Hunter is the Praetorian version of Woodsman, and is met in Night Ward (you might be able to fight him in it- I didn't try to insult him ), as well as some of the late game Portal missions.

    Penelope Yin is met in Faultline as a young girl, and again later when she's kidnapped as part of the LGTF (still young). She's now (when older) part of the Freedom Phalanx and gives out the Penelope Yin Task Force, and in the LRSF and a few other places in her older form.

    Ah, I just checked myself and it seems to be fine.


    How long has it been since you updated your installation at work? Was it very out of date? They don't keep the xdelta updates around to go from every version to the latest, so it might have just been too old, and so had to do the larger, slower method instead via repair.
  24. Likely just false positives. Lots of other games have had these sorts of things happen... I think generally they end up reversing the bans and adjusting their system. Hopefully they'll do that in this case.
