Voted for CoH. Another +1 for the heroes.

Will vote again from work (different IP address). Another +1 for the villains.

What can I say? I'm a vigilante at heart.

Hola Pinnaclites!

Some of you may know, I'm working on a documentary on MMOs and gamers, and I'm in the close-to-final editing stages now. Today, I realized that I'm lacking one bit of in-game footage, and as far as I know, the person whose footage I need doesn't play anymore.

So, I'm wondering if anyone A) remembers @Queen of Diamonds, and B) if anyone might have a screenshot with her in it? I can re-create her costume and do a demo-edit, but I can't for the life of me remember what her in-game costume looked like.

I know this is a long-shot, but I'm hoping someone might have an old screenshot lying around somewhere that they could send to me. If you have one (or know how to get in touch with QoD), *please* let me know asap! Thanks!

*applauds* Bravo! I'll be murmuring the Enriche song under my breath all day, I think.

That's ALL the other servers need... a bunch of drunk Pinnaclites weaving through traffic and knocking over garbage cans on their way to other servers.

Best if we all just stay put here, where the authorities are understanding and there's always someone to drink with. Who knows... Exalted could be some sort of tightass tea-totaling server! *horrified gasp*

I'm staying put. Most of the folks I hang with are staying put. I think we're good here on our beloved drunk server.

I joined in late August, 2004. Since then...

* Moved to the middle of Michigan to continue my career as a college professor.
* Bought my first-ever piece of new (as in "no one has owned this before me") furniture.
* Became truly self-sufficient for the first time.
* Re-connected with an old friend from undergraduate days and got back into Radio (which I continue to do every Summer).
* Saw the group of friends who got me into CoH in the first place move away to other games.
* Found streaming radio and did a stint as an "on-air" DJ for a couple years (fond memories of w00t Radio)
* Survived as a true "loner hero" until I made new friends, thanks to one very sympathetic Tree.
* Helped my Father through prostate cancer, helped my Mother through a "Death Episode" and major heart surgery.
* Became a tenure-track faculty member.
* Hung out with new friends online, went to my first M&G in Ohio, and the hung out with them even more online (2nd family).
* Helped two of those friends celebrate their wedding in Chicago.
* Became a Doctor of Telecommunications.
* Watched my wife start her dream business, a local bakery that will be a year old in October.
* Paid off my student loans.
* Became an Uncle six times (three nieces from my sister, two nephews and a niece from my brother-in-law).
* Decided that being the "cool Uncle" for my two oldest nieces is the best gig on the planet.

All this time, this has been *the* game. I've dabbled with others here and there, but CoH has ruined me for any other game so far.

Mindscythe: "What? Fight? Pfffft... I don't fight, I ridicule! I report! I provide the soundtrack for your epic battle! So turn down the in-game music, and get ready for some hard-rockin' retaliation from radio, Radio, RADIOOOOOOOOOOOO FREE... hey! Wait for me, I just have to pack up the microphones and the computer..."

Unfortunately, yes. Yes I do. I just unpacked my new keyboard and monitor last week. Damn you Steelclaw...

As a long-time Hellraiser fan, I heartily approve! Nicely done.

Whoa... I experienced a green-sky storm one summer in high school. We were without power for a week afterwards. But in that instance, the sky was just slightly green-tinted.

This looks near-apocalyptic in strength! Batten down the hatches, and stay safe!

Welcome to your new Browncoat life.

It was too different ("A sci-fi show where they ride horses? Huh?") and on the wrong network. Imagine, for a moment, what Firefly would have been like had Joss been making the show on HBO... Yeah.

We tried a BAF last night and, as it was my 3rd of the day, I decided to time the lag. On average, with all powers recharged and ready to go, I was getting 10-second power lag between the first power firing the the second power firing, when the second power was clicked as soon as the first activated. The lag was as short as 2-seconds and as long as 15-seconds, depending on what part of the trial we were in.

To paraphrase Bill Murray: Something is seriously wrong with it!

Thank you so much for linking this... I didn't find out they'd be doing it until after I'd left town and couldn't set up a recording myself.

She was "my companion" in the same way that Peter Davison was David Tennant's Doctor. I began my Dr. Who experience with John Pertwee, so she was the first companion I really connected with.

Someone else mentioned this earlier, but her death hit me like the loss of a friend. She was part of my life, and had been for many, many years, although she'd never have known it.

Rest in Peace, Miss Sladen. You will always be my companion.

Everyone's thinking it, so I'll be the first to say it:

Indestructible: City of Pedestrians!
