    I thought freedom had an extremely high price that has to be payed in blood?

    In the keynote for Herocon when they were showing off dual pistols, one of the animations had some John Woo-style doves added to it as an easter-egg.
  3. I wouldn't be too surprised if they were already planning to add in new weapons.

    Everyone needs the computer, for it gives life to all that press its 'insert' key and it can end your life with its 'delete' key.
    The computer is overjoyed that you return it's friendship, and would like to share friendship cookies with you.

    Permission granted. Though the computer would never think of denying something that gave you pleasure. Because it is your friend. And your well being* is always top priority.

    *The computer reserves the right to redefine 'well being' in an emergency. You know, just in case.
  7. Just because you do not believe in Cthulhu does not mean that Cthulhu doesn't believe in you.
  8. That reminds me of an old Machall comic featuring Deus Ex and /spawnmasshooker
  9. Factory overflow. My bad.

  11. Those that think your signatures are too big should understand that compared to some other forums, they are getting off very light. Both in terms of screen space as well as file size. There's a couple of people on the 1stMI forums that have 4mb sigs and avatars due to uncompressed animations.

    I assume you are referring to "under the watchful gaze of your friend, the computer" as the source of true freedom, correct?

    This is also a valid response.

    Discuss.
    Quintessential utilitarian response: needs more data.

    Side-switching and power customization were viewed as improbable due to the amount of work behind such an idea. Changing ATs and Powersets are not going to happen because the devs are opposed to the idea of allowing this, not because of technical limitations.

    EDIT: I'm tired, didn't read Dispari's post before I posted. That pretty much covers it.

That's $70 a week and it only takes an hour of your time. In a month you'd have $280 which is enough to pay for 18 accounts.
    I wasn't hoping for an armchair analysis of my financial situation, thank you very much. I obviously live the way I do by choice, not because someone makes me.

    My point is that just because you feel it's an affordable expense, that doesn't mean it is an affordable expense for everyone. Nevermind the fact that a new account would be devoid of all vet badges and paid upgrades like booster packs.

    I'm scraping at the bottom of the barrel of sanity, does that count?

    Well, I'm glad you have such a great understanding of everyone's financial situation. </sarcasm>

    Counter-example: as a student with no job, living off of savings, my base expenses are roughly three times what you earn as income per month, with nothing to offset it. Having one account is a luxury. Having two is an unnecessary expense.

    Actually playing on several servers great, because players are expanding their communities not splitting them up. Private global channels are cross server as well as cross faction. Having characters on multiple servers means those players rarely have trouble finding people to play with.
    I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this point. I don't have the time to immerse myself in any more communities.
  20. Nothing stopping you other than the additional monthly fee, you mean.

    EDIT: Also, while spreading populations may be good for server load and anti-ghost-townness, it also splits up communities a bit more, which is bad.
  21. Fortunately, the computer now offers downloadable TV! Just for you. Because it is your friend.

    Also, let it never be said that the computer does not support social networking.
