I'm amazed that some of you guys manage to enjoy any TV shows or movies at all... holy crap this is by the far the nitpickiest show review thread I've ever read on this forum

I saw Red last night at a free screening. I liked it!!
WHats-his-face that played McCoy in Star Trek and the one dude from Lord of the Rings was awesome in it. So awesome I can't even remember his name... ha.

Silver Surfer. I like having a weiner.

I would avoid AT&T, especially the new Samsung Captivate (AT&T's version of the Galaxy S). It's a whole lotta style and not too much in substance. Plus you have to deal with AT&T and their lackluster service. I just returned mine and am considering switching to Sprint.

The Coming Storm is accessible through the City Vault by way of the COP.

Umm..... welcome to four years ago?

See kids, this is what happens when you actually enjoy the CONTENT of the game rather than just mindless leveling.

Look at the poster's registration date, numbnuts.

Some people haven't been here for four years

I would prefer if they had improved giant monsters that cause true environmental damage and would go on rampages.

And NPCs that do more than stand on a pedestal and watch you die.

Since I neglected to say it earlier, good luck with everything you do Mr. LH! You're good people and you'll be missed!

others for seemingly trivial occurrences.

Those "seemingly trivial occurrences" most often have much larger reasons behind them that the ones fired have no idea about.

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering that it's my job to investigate these claims, I'd say I have a pretty good idea what I'm talking about.

Best Example: I had a guy working for a defense contractor (that will go unnamed) who was fired because he didn't ask his boss for permission to go to lunch. You'd think there would be something deeper to this, right? Nope. The boss was just a [censored], yet well within his rights to do what he did.

There isn't always a larger reason. Sometimes you get fired because your boss has a petty personality conflict... or you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What does any of this have to do with this thread?

I dunno, but I do like chicken. Not on pizza though. That's just wrong.

People don't get fired for so little as a few comments. They would usually get some sort of warning, or several, first.

Saying that he got fired for a few comments, well, I think that's just a naive way to look at things. As a business decision, it makes no sense. With the cost to find, recruit, and hire a replacement, and the business COST of not having that replacement ahead of time... it's just not worth it.

Not when you can give out a few warnings first, start looking for possible replacements, then replace them if they mess up again.

One or two instances does not a job lose... unless you happen to spill a ton of oil in the Arctic.

Everything you just said is completely contrary to my experiences... and I deal with people that lose jobs all the time.
Some for big reasons, others for seemingly trivial occurrences. It's case by case, company by company, management by management.

RE: Control Powers.

Has mezz suppression duration been changed at all?
Do Confuse powers now have proper suppression?

That's a very patriotic looking Goldbricker pack...

Too bad it expires in 30 days or I'd be all over this puppy.

I have pics of Ex_Libris leading a /e DrumDance routine. Gonna hafta post those tomorrow!

Oh yeah, and there are a lot of good looking people playing this game... either that or a whole lotta people showed up at the wrong party... haha

Just got home from the con. It was pretty large but I am confident I saw everything that interested me. The only problem is gettin in those damned panels. I wanted to watch the Watchmen panel but got there too late. I only got to see the Family Guy panel(new episode... hilarious) and the Kevin Smith panel. That was cool because he brought pretty much everyone from Zack and Miri.

I got to talk to Ex for like 30 seconds. I came back later on and LH was on the phone the whole time

[/ QUOTE ]

Hall H panels are ridiculous. There were already people in line for tomorrow's panel as I was exiting the Kevin Smith one four hours ago!!

See you guys bright and early!

For those folks that have a COH/COV account there is a special item attached to your VIP pass so make sure you stop by early to ensure you get your badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm. I sure hope this isn't a code that can be input in your account to unlock some item.

If it is, I'll be sure to mockingly parade it around in front of you and all the other sorry souls that couldn't make it. Feel free to take screenies!
