i laughed so hard i cried. i'd forgotten how insanely goofy the animated Star Trek was.

This is an unaltered shot from the actual show, right?

Eh, when i accepted the EULA i lost my right to assemble. No more model kits or IKEA furniture for me.

Yeah! Next we'll have furless characters dressing in furless skins. Like humans in leather jackets and pants and stuff. Totally weird, yo.

Anyway, glad to hear you're enjoying the new issue. Don't ever stop criticizing the stuff you don't like and praising the stuff you do.

Well, prior to Freemdom launching i'd joked in a global channel about trying to grab all the reasonable permutations of a certain name, but then realized i'd rather they got the name as fair warning to others.

Not to mention i wouldn't do that to someone else no matter how little i think of them.

i did get the name Starspawn on Exalted for my new Kheldian, so there is that.

Odd. i bought Barbarians, Backpack, and Beam Rifle with no issues. Also picked up the server transfer six pack.

Tempted to purchase the additional enhancement tray, but holding off on getting more for now. Got new power and costume sets to look forward to after all.

Because then it sounds like yet another inane 'reality' series.

"Detective Ghost" has more potential IMHO.

In other words...
Deliberate lies, distortions, and hyperbole: acceptable, even encouraged.
Being rude in the process: unacceptable.
Those are the intended house rules of this thread? Interesting.

Curious. You're still posting.
This leaves two options:
1) You're blinded by fandom. (Admittedly you could be blinded by fandom of homoerotic lucha libre and Japanese wrestling slash fics, and not City of Heroes, since the nature of the fandom wasn't specified.)
2) You don't listen to yourself.

The rest of this post has absolutely nothing to do with MAD UMLAUTS.

While i am concerned somewhat by how much broader the new EULA wording appears to be i'm not about to quit just yet. i will continue following any reasonable discussions with interest, and even some of the less reasonable but at least intelligible discussions. Gibbering lunacy will be skipped over.

Westley has at least avoided gibbering lunacy even of some of his arguments are hindered by misunderstanding/misuse of the terms he's using. Unlike some others here. That is to say i understand many of the concerns being raised even if some of the objections involve irrelevant/fallacious assertions.

The locality consolidation happened some time before the server list merge, but wasn't as widely mentioned since it didn't really affect most players very much. Germany's data infrastructure is bad enough that moving the EU servers to the US actually improved latency for many EU players.

Interesting. Good luck with that. Based on my experiences over the years with teams that are all Defenders it should be pretty easy. i'd offer to join, but i wasn't part of the Enigmatic Eight originally.

This. The game specifically has folders that allow users to replace certain game assets with custom versions. This includes things like fonts, icons, sounds, and other things. This functionality allows users to alter some elements of the game for themselves without modifying the game code itself. The only reason to set it up like that in the first place is so that users can tweak their experience without having to modify the client. (Which is forbidden.)

This future smell funny. Can i have a different one?

All silliness aside i like the cause that the shoes are funding, but i'm considerably more ambivalent about the shoes themselves. Which i suppose is a moot point since i'm not going to buy them anyway.

If it's about self-lacing shoes shouldn't there be some in the links?

Well, you can buy an invention license for the low price of approximately $2 worth of points a month. (Prices may change after launch, but are most likely to decrease if they do.) Purchasing those points will also count towards more rewards tokens. As long as your kids don't mind having access to fewer characters going Premium and buying enough points for the features they really want may be perfectly workable.

This. At the least i will try to be a bit more gregarious and dial down the snark slightly.

Limited in character slots, yes. That's the only way free players will be more limited once Freedom launches. In almost every other respect they will be far less limited. And removing most of those limits will be far cheaper than in the past.

The draconian removal of the level 14 limit for free players is but one example.

English may be a second language to you, but some people have it as a fourth language without knowing any of the first three.

Considering that there was talk of eventually being able to pact whole teams when level pacting was in development it might be a while to get the code fix up and running. Now i've only used level pacting once myself, but if anyone has any soon to be created characters they really want to pact i'd seriously make sure to do it before the head start ends.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Definitely defiant, yes.
i've watched a few episodes and enjoyed them. Enough so that i had to double check that it was really on the siffy channel. While it's true that siffy loves cheap shows it seems to me that they usually want the show to clearly look cheap as well through bad writing and/or blatantly lousy production values.

Alphas comes across as more of a show that tries to make the most of their budget to tell a good scifi story. Definitely not where siffy's priorities usually lie.

Thursday.
