Ones that are powerful enough to play this game with UM turned on aren't really that portable due to relatively short battery life so you may be able to take the system anywhere, that's within reach of a power outlet.

    Yea, I'm a little bias.
    Pretty much this.

    I melted my laptop... twice. They are handy to have when you travel, but for every day gaming I stick to my desktop.
  2. I actually took 4 Stalkers through Praetoria, prior to the changes. Rarely had an issue. Granted the easiest way to get through Praetoria is with friends, or the Police Radio, that comes in handy.
  3. Welcome back, Prof!




    They always come back.

    Rotated items

    You can abuse it to get rotated objects partly into doorways / embedded in outer walls, but otherwise it's harmless.
    I tend to avoid anything that does that, as it could break you base irrevocably.

    Rotated items

    Also, after placing an item you can then select it, hold down 'Shift' you can move it up and down.

    Holding down 'Ctrl' will allow you to move it on the same plane.
  6. Prior to re-installing CoH and if you haven't already tried it, I would delete the .chksum file in your City of Heroes folder -then- run Repair.

    He didn't have time to call for his mommy, and his four pets weren't much help either as most of them melted.

    Awesome run, Kyo. Great team

    I can probably swing the 2pm MoKahn.

    @Angel Red, Sanguine Ophanim, Controller, Illusion/Empathy

    or I could bring Loam, if the final team makeup would make him more useful. Earth/Rad.

    I was moving some elements around, and now the floating counter blocks cannot be deleted.

    If it was some room other than the base entry, I'd delete the room and rebuild fresh, but that's not an option here.

    Haven't sent in a support ticket, was curious if anyone else ran into undeletable base items.

    Best regards -
    Do you have anything stacked on top of the blocks you want to delete?
    and
    Have you tried dragging the block to another room, then tried deleting it?
  12. It was great seeing the usual faces again as well as new faces at the Summit. All the breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Had a great time and can't wait for next year.
  13. Can't wait to see folks this weekend, starting tomorrow at dinner.
  14. Friday Dinner: Viva Sol is very tasty, I'd love to go there again.
    Saturday breakfast: I've yet to avail myself of the Bacon Waffles.
    Saturday Lunch: I can give or take In 'n Out, never found it to be worth the reputation it's earned.
    Sunday Breakfast: 6:30am? <.< After possible late night shenanigans Saturday? Is that even possible? ^.^ Put me down for a maybe. Yes, if they do reservations and we can get in at a slightly more reasonable hour.
  15. Yes, they are actually, her right one is snapped off.
  16. Thank you.

    Getting the scales and horns right has been problematic, but with each new piece, it gets closer.

    I know I would, but then my character's sliders are usually at minimum. ^.^

    It is a lovely addition to your collection, though.

    That said, the Creamery sounds good! Which one do you like? I see two locations. Once in the Stanford Shopping Center, and the other in the downtown area.
    Well, I've not been to the one at the mall, the one downtown was nice, but it is a pain to get parking, so if we want to give it a whirl the one at the mall may be easier to get into and out of.

    I think I can find a few people willing to join me at that venue.



    Or, I could go back to Schaub's for another Fred's Steak sandwich. Hmmmm.
    Actually, I'm thinking maybe The Creamery, though on a Saturday it might be a little crowded.

    And two HeroCons and the M&G, and I still haven't done bacon waffles. <.<

    But flying down there means no brownies. Oh, well.

    If you find out where you will be staying, you can always ship them to yourself....
