    BU + Aim is a common blaster combo...I don't understand your point.

    How is FC + Aim different from BU+ Aim?

    Focus Chi is just a renamed Build Up.

    Also, welcome to last month with this topic.
    Why do you have access to teleporting to Oro if you aren't using travel powers?
  3. I use my SG base as my transportation hub but I see no reason for an organization who can travel to any place or time having exists in all the zones flashbacks may send you to (since being dropped off at the contact is pointless if the mission isn't in their area).

    This is what I have so far, it's only the first 5 images but it's still fun to play around with, but expect more soon. I think it requires Silverlight to view, but I'm not entirely sure.
    I'm just getting a grey box...

  5. How do you name squat with a trial account...once the trial time is up you've locked yourself out of those names unless you pay a month.

All I'm saying is, this type of thing could lead to a lot of bruised egos and subsequent tension amongst the player base.
    If someone is getting their ego bruised by a random number generator I have a hard time believing they are over 18...

    Boy are you in the wrong game...

    That is all.
    Ummm no...bad idea...you are grounded.

    EDIT: It seems you are right.
    You used to be able to chain free trials on one account as well.

    Which would put his release date at December 28, 2009...

    Doesn't this come to DVD/BluRay on Dec 22...

    I'm confused I was talking about people who do this:

    Those people need to be allowed to identify themselves as soon as possible for proper mockery.

    Two points:
    1. Most of us who know one language want to make fun of people who try to speak to someone in another language by faking a bad accent.
    2. Some people speak more then three languages so the joke should go there are two type of people multilingual and American.

I've seen enough movies to know how this works." *turns to Frenchman* "Excuse me, sir? Aaaah woud laaahhhk to gooh to zee houtel."
    It's good that people that dumb expose themselves early so the right type of mockery can be used.

    Anyway, we're ALREADY reading subtitles. We call them word bubbles, but it's still reading.

    As far as a desire to read subtitles, I actually prefer reading them when I'm watching a foreign movie or playing a videogame with multicultural characters. Let the actors speak the language they know, so their words actually match the motions of their lips, and I'll go ahead and read a closer interpretation to what they're saying than what you would hear in the English Dub.
    You also have the voice actors who don't speak the desired language fluently which mean the multilingual people pick it apart and the people who don't like subtitles are still annoyed.

    Focus Chi is the BU replacer so it's still only 2.

    However, "putty" is one of the blocked words on the censored list.
    Yeah that should be censored.
