    Another point to remember, Sam, is that "I couldn't find it/nothing came up in/search didn't work" equates to "I didn't bother to actually click on the the search button located at the top of every forum."
  3. Found this website while looking for a 'suitable' clip from Real Genius.

    Never had them both installed on the same computer.
  6. Just commenting on the Colour Selection in the Costume Creator.

    I wish they'd add the colour drop down menu to it, like we have for our power selections. That would at least give us a greater variety of colours.

    Pretty much. When I QA'd Dragon Naturally Speaking, it took a good two hours to train it. It provided Chapters from several books for you to read. The more you ran it, the quicker and more precise it was at picking up what you said. Your own regional dialect/inflections were not a concern.

    Something like that, maybe?

    I'm liking this suggestion the best, it works thematically.


    As for Caleb, I've only been on one team so far that was hunting him. He was first spotted when one of my teammates lost about 3/4 of his health.

    "Found him..."

    Caleb then disappeared and reappeared on the ground. My lvl 20 Plant/Thorn Dom was of little help, but what can I say, they drug me over there. I think she's the only character that's got the badge.
  10. Until the end of the month.

    And yes, you use the same button.
  11. We had a Void Hunter attack us in the Steel Canyon entrance to the Midnighter's Club. Perhaps it's a PROC to keep players on their toes.

    Sorry, but when I read that, all I could imagine was a bunch of Klingons sitting around a campfire...

    ...eating a bunch of beans...

    ...while various sounds of flatulence fill the area...

    Me too!

    If it hadn't taken me a month to find the forums, I could have attended the D&B Meet 'n Greet back in 07.
  14. (If I'm remembering this correctly,) the sneak peek we got at HeroCon, where we got to see Dual-Wield Pistols, was running on an AMD/ATI machine.

    I might have to wade through the GR thread, or maybe PM TJ, he was sitting next to the tech operating the box and specifically asked him the specs.

    As for my vid issues, it's a brand new desktop with an ATI card, and a brand new 21" widescreen LCD. I think it's the Catalyst I have installed that's causing the issues. (Things like this will usually occur when I either bring Firefox to the foreground, or when Avira throws up it's nag screen. It's usually not as bad as what I posted above though.

    This.

    Didn't have anything else to say, but I wanted to let you know we appreciate your service.
    Indeed, thank you for your service, and I'm glad you have made it home safely.
  16. At HeroCon the Dev's alluded to the possibility of running the name purge before GR.
  17. Dirty, rotten trick.

    I think the forums plugs in an arbitrary date, until you go in and actually change it.

    -.-


  18. We'll keep a candle lit for you Zek.

    You do know that GR will support ATI, right?

    Or, you can bid low. Nothing is forcing anyone to bid 2, 20, or 200mil for an item. Those are the "I've got to have it naoh!" prices, bid 25inf and let it sit.

    The things you pick up when you go to school to learn to work on motorcycles. Yes, I'm a chick, and I learned to work on...

    ...dare I say it...

    ...'crotch rockets'.

  23. Well, there at least three of us, I know I've got one somewhere.

    As for rare, I think I've only ever come across one other Kin/Arch.
  24. Speed Boost (SB) can be a real pain in the ### for those not used to it. My very first character was a Kin/Arch and I would SB everyone, not realizing the difficulties it presents a.) with certain players play styles, b.) indoor maps, and c.) travel powers.

    When people asked to not be SB'd, I would oblige. Now, when teaming, I ask if people do not want to be SB'd.
