I would love to find a regular gaming group but the last two I located in my area, turned out I was almost twice their average age.
Was kinda awkward.

Yay! I get to use this thing again!

Well, he did okay with mild to moderate emotions.
But every time he got into "strong emotion" territory bad things happened.

Just how many Supergroup bases are "in orbit" over Paragon City?*
It's got to be getting a mite crowded up there.

* - and how many of them have Binary Fusion Generators? -
Quote:Old Bucky should team up with the New female Bucky and do a variety show.Originally Posted by Nericus
As the Captain America movie gets closer to release, I'm certain Steve will be Cap again. However his return to the role does not mean that Bucky has to "die" again. Too much work was put into his return to just bump him off again. He'd be more apt to adopt a new identity similar to the Winter Soldier, perhaps even call himself Nomad.

Quote:Was there a single instance of a Soong-type android experiencing strong emotion that had a positive final result?Originally Posted by Coin
You are thinking of either his "mother" which was created by Soong or Lal, Data's daughter who was created by Data on the Enterprise and died shortly afterwards of cascade failure in her neural net. (Was actually quite a touching episode)
But yeah, can totally see there being other prototypes out there, just was a bit of a sucky way for B4 to be found.

It's easier to just turn your SG colors to black/black and then use Supergroup Wall Banners. Cover the wall with them, and with the SG colors set to black/black they don't even reflect light, so they look like the void of space. You just set your SG colors back to normal after you're done placing all the banners.
If you don't want a slightly different black where the SG logo is, use a floated cubicle to flip them so the SG logo side faces the wall.
And since wall items stick to the surface of the banners, you can just place the little round wall lights directly on them to make stars.

Quote:That would be the "episodes shown out of order" thing I mentioned.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Longer than that because when the show started off in the next galaxy they had already been to several planets.

Did they say how long it actually took to cross the void?
Also remember that there were a couple of episodes shown out of order right around that time.

Given that Paragon Studios just underwent a round of layoffs, I don't foresee ANY kind of significant base system improvements coming, possibly ever.
I have the distinct sensation that NCSoft is shifting CoH into "end of life" mode, pulling resources to put into other projects and cutting expenses. I'm betting Going Rogue was used as a metric by NCSoft to judge whether or not to keep the game in active development or put it out to pasture, and given that the sales numbers for Going Rogue are by accounts not all that great...
I hope I'm wrong. I really do. But the situation does not look good.

As an aside, having just again seen the TV commercial for the Jackass 3D movie, they need to install a giant spring-loaded hand on the Gate as their version of an iris shield.

Quote:I didn't get the impression the dune buggy was "standard equipment" - it seemed like a custom job, possibly made at the captain's request, given how he treated it.Originally Posted by Father Xmas
Star Trek shouldn't have dune buggies as standard equipment. 2nd they dipped into yet another Data prototype too many times already.
I kinda agree on the Data prototype thing. I would have liked it better if the "prototype" had been entirely a Reman fake, designed purely to lure the Enterprise in.

Great!
Now Bruce can become the old bitter man in the Batcave, directing the other Bat-people.

Was it just me, or was the computer graphics in this ep really awful?

That's the thing. The fact that he was still conscious after they tried to move the stuff off of him makes me think he wasn't that severely injured. If one or both of his femoral arteries had been injured then he'd have passed out from blood loss and been near death when they lifted the stuff off his legs. It really happens that fast.
Even if they did and got him back to the ship, what could they do? They have no significant medical facilities there.Quote:Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
If his injuries were severe enough that the pressure of the wreckage was the only thing keeping him from bleeding out, then the only way they could have gotten him back to the ship alive would be if they had a pair of MAST trousers to put on him which would have been inflated in order to keep the pressure on his lower extremities and prevented hemorrhaging until they got him back to the ship.
In fact, really, whatever they have in their backpacks is EXACTLY the same level of care that being on the ship would provide, save perhaps the presence of an actual bed to lie on.

What is Tier 2?
http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Base_Control_Items
See that chart under the "Main" heading? It shows three rows of items.
First row is Tier 1. This, for control primary items, is the Magic Axis (for Arcane) and the Mainframe (for Tech). Tier 1 items are available right off the bat without having to unlock anything, as long as you can pay the Prestige cost.
Second and third rows are Tier 2 and Tier 3, respectively. They require obtaining the relevant Supergroup Badge to unlock the item.
Browse around the Paragon Wiki, it has a ton of info for base builders.
As you have figured out, some items in each Tier have to be crafted, and as such never show up as buy-able in the base editor. The Paragon Wiki also has info on these types of items.

See here for unlockable badge information:

The Advanced Database can only attach to a Tier 2 control primary item or better (Supercomputer).

As an aside, I really REALLY detest folks who futz with their texting devices while driving.
You can literally SEE them start to weave in their lane while they're reading or texting. It's worse than actually talking on the phone - at least with talking their eyes tend to be actually on the road.

Quote:It's not that she can't avoid collisions, it's that she has trouble if she doesn't actually LOOK at where she's running.Originally Posted by Mandu
I hope somebody writes a continuity bible for the series on how their powers work. Mom is the one who bugged me this week. Last week when she super sped everything seemed frozen around her and to her perceptions she was moving at a normal running speed or possibly even slower. This week her perceptions are normal human speed so she can't avoid collisions, she can't read signs because she passes them too fast, and she can talk on a phone while running hundreds of miles per hour.
She was distracted initially because she was looking at her phone instead of the road. She looked up in time to avoid the cyclists and the car, but then turned to look back at them and wasn't paying attention to the direction she was running in, which is why she tripped on that bicycle.
It's like a fighter pilot flying through a canyon deciding to look down at his phone. Bad idea.
And in both episodes time does seem slowed down, but everything around her is also slightly blurred. So that probably doesn't help in the reading of signs.

I'm kinda disappointed that the Spidey movie rights didn't get reverted back to Marvel control, so they could integrate it with the shared universe of the other Marvel movies.

Can we add Alan Moore's beard to the list?

I don't have the link handy, but -stacker, whom to my knowledge is the original 'creator' of the lightstairs, has a nifty how-to video on youtube somewhere.

I would add Professor Pyg from DC Comics to that list.
Then again, he was created by Grant Morrison. Add everything Grant Morrison's ever done to that list.
