  1. Also, I love doing this because I'm such a Who Newb, but...

    You forgot the 2005 Christmas Special. It goes between your first two lines.

    The bear did sin.

    It's been the same ***** joke since I joined 4 years ago, and it's still funny every time I hear it.

There is no player in the game that is currently higher rank than a level 2.5 Incarnate. We can assume that Statesman at least has up to the final tier of the Judg"e"ment slot through his use of Hammer of Justice and Zeus' Lightning Bolt (based on the powers information you can look up for two of the final tiers for the Judg"e"ment slot powers in-game). With that, we know that Statesman is at least a "level 10" Incarnate versus our puny 2.5.

    ...

    And then of course there's the "It's a game. You can't expect to be the pwnzor out of the box" argument.
    Also, Mender Ramiel explicitly states that you, at your lowest level, are much weaker than Statesman, but that you at your highest will be significantly stronger. "Much Stronger" is en route to the game.

    Another thing I like: That all Incarnates have a signature item that match their personality and is filled with Incarnate power. Now my Thugs Mastermind has Incarnate guns!
  11. I'll answer more when I get home. Netflix insists that there are movies starring the new Doctor Whos, and this confuses me. I can't pull up the list of what they insist here.

    And yes, Coin, what I mean is that I started with Brian Ecclestein and am in David Tennant's first season.

    ---

    Hm, maybe these movies are the specials. Are they on the season DVDs and will come up naturally, or do I need to watch them all after Season 4?

    What does it mean?
    Similar to "blind side"; It's when an abstract idea suddenly strikes you with full force and importance. Origin: My boredom.

  14. Doctor Who may think of time as all Wibbly-Wobbly, but I don't as much.

    I'm watching the new Doctor Who, and I noticed that there are movies interspersed throughout the regular episodes.

    What movies do I watch and when? I'm part way through Season 2, as a reference.

    Thanks!
  15. Well then, I guess he must be teaming up with Fusionette!

    There, I made it, okay? I made the joke.

    An "I Quit" Post

    I quit City of Heroes.

    No, really, I did. A few weeks ago, I told some of the people closer to me that I was quitting, sent my feedback quietly to a red name, and even reevaluated my budget now that this $15 a month as freed up. One of the last things said red name told me was "I hope that you find something in a future Issue that can bring you back." I politely told them something akin to "Ya right" and resumed closing up shop.

    Then I read the Issue 19 notes in detail on I19's launch day.

    "Character switching without logging out? Cool, now I can mix up my play styles in one sitting more easily. Nifty, if I were staying."

    "Power Animations? Well, Marcian, the only reason you didn't pick supernatural powers was because it bothered you that all characters used the same animations. So, that opens up whole new power sets for you."

    "Incarnates... so now my level 50 is relevant again. Wait, and the story makes him stronger than Statesman or Recluse!?"

    "Praetoria got fleshed out some more!? Didn't I just vent that there was no auto mission generator? Did they read my mind!? You said you'd only use Seers for good!"

    -----
    In all seriousness, Issue 19 handily takes care of the vast majority of the reasons I'm quitting. I knew the update was coming for a while. There's a difference, however, between hearing something will be happening soon and actually logging on and having said options laid out before you.

    I tried to leave, but they keep me in. Again and again. I can only imagine that I20, in all its shrouded secrecy, is going to crabshell us with some incredible other feature that keeps me in the game.

    Good job, Red Names. You all collaborate on a fine project.
    LFT?

    Nope: Confirmed as made by the actual studio.
  18. I'm sorry to be ten pages late, but has someone made a dirty joke about the subject line yet? If they have, I'll go with the Airplane reference as a backup.
  19. As produced by the official studio making Yogi Bear. An alternate ending to Yogi Bear.

    I will watch this movie now. (Thanks to BafflingBeerman for sharing this)
  20. QR: Too many instances of hitting "Random" and getting farms. Worse yet, farms that are obsolete with the new rules. I once got a farm that was once a poorly constructed, spread out farm that took too much work and was full of hi-larious jokes about sexual assault.

    And I don't really accept "But if you go to this site...". I think that the system should stand up on its own feet for me to consider it. If I have to grab some duct tape and strap a fan-site to it to get it up to chuggin' pace... I'd rather spend time on the features of the game that actually work autonomously.

    Edit:

    Quote:
    And a second question, what's something that *would* bring you into the AE building to try out an arc?
    A guarantee that if I hit "Random", I'd hit a story that someone actually tried on. I'm not saying that this is a reasonable expectation in the least. When I think about it, though, this is all I can think would get me interested.

    No problem.
  23. The irony here being that I'm scoffing at you and think that you're obsessive.
