AIM is SScythe, I'm on once in a while. No MySpace, because I'm cooler than that >.>

Happy birthday, Arctic Sun! Hope you have a great one!

My Main is The Valiant Valorous Vault with Valorous as the badge I have set....

Even if I got the token I'd never use it. V For Vendetta's got nothin' on me.

Haha, good stuff! Especially #3 and #7, I literally LOL'd.

Is it sad that I can read all the 1337speak just as fluidly as I can read the english?

I typed "Character" each time for the first few weeks I played the game. However, back when I started, I distinctly remember a lot more people using the word "Toon" to reffer to their Heroes, so I sorta adopted it myself.

I call them toons, and I don't see why that should bother anyone. To each his own, and if you're really annoyed by something trivial like that, you're probably no fun to be around anyways.

It's gonna be a sad day in CoX when the heroes and villains wake up to find they don't have a CuppaJo.

We'll all miss you, Cuppa, and your work has been appreciated. Good luck with the Tabula Rasa crowd. They probably won't be as cool as us, but with any luck some City Of folks will make their way there to liven up your banhammer.

Faultline trial area map

If you all want, I'll upload a video of me exploring the trial area. It's pretty cool, mainly because almost no one goes back there.

Guys, this is a moot argument. What we should really be focusing on is the fact that there's a FORUM NECROMANCER IN OUR MIDST!

*breaks out a holy water drenched onion*

Very nice! Is this hero or villain side (or is there no difference)?

*EDIT* Er... duh? "Re: Villainous Titles". Lol.

Wow, blast from the past. I remember all of this

Here's a couple of fun facts:

Did you know you used to be able to stand with your back to a wall, zoom all the way back, and have the camera poke through it? From there, all you had to do was Teleport to any location in the newly visible Void to get under the map. This was stealth-fixed in issue 2.

Did you know that after they "fixed" it, you could still get under? All you had to do was type /camdist 999999999999999 and your camera would break through the walls to clip into the Void. Again, all you had to do from there was to place your TP marker on one of the many abundant positive spots under the map and click away. This was fixed after an incident I had with a GM and later Valdermic, as well as because of the many people that found out on their own and used it extensively on Test when the Arena was still being developed. Nothing like a dozen people going /em dance underneath the floor to incur the wrath of the devs.

As for a hilarious mis-tell, click here.

I say you're a FORUM NECROMANCER!

And I tend to leave glowies in other peoples' missions alone. It's usually pretty haphazard the way they give out xp and powers, so I leave them alone just in case they have something valuable.

;salute

Here's to you, Mr. Monkeyshines! The heroes of the past ignored you, but your memory lives on!

Goodbye, Gil! We'll all miss you terribly but we know you'll keep in touch

And now, to present you with a glimpse into your future.
Your fanboy will never stop stalking you. NEVER!

Ahh, a Forum Necromancer!

There's only one thing to do now: engage in massive flame wars to burn away all our dead posts so that none will ever arise again once it has fallen to its doom.

Now, let us stock up on holy water and asbestos suits.

Another small item, which I *THINK* was with issue #1:

They added lighting at night for the flag on top of city hall in response to player comments about the flag not being lit.

I think that they also animated it at the same time (it used to be static), but not sure if I'm remembering when that second change went in.

[/ QUOTE ]

They animated the flag to flap like real cloth with the intro of capes in issue 2. Also, someone above said that Katana animations were revamped in issue 3. They re-did those animations and re-named the powers in that set during issue 2.
I had a Katana scrapper at the time, I liked the changes but ended up deleting it because I had picked DA as the secondary.

Don't you remember the old post with his pictures? They had a Beta pic where he had brown hair, a current pic where he had white hair, and a 'future prediction' pic of some poor, scared man in the mud with a look of horror in his eyes.

That one had me laughing for a good fifteen minutes

Haha, nice thread. When I saw that third picture, I began laughing so hard I almost cried. What was that from anyways, it was nicely incorporated in

Indeed, I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

I'm totally up for that elite boss Bo Bindel thing. Bo is my hero

Nice writing, LHF. This is one of the reasons why you're so Awesome

Keep 'em comming, you sure as hell can write.

I would just like to add that this game has inspired me to enter the gaming industry.

I'm currently a Junior in High School, and I had no idea what I wanted to do. After playing CoH, and seeing how cool and fun the Devs are, I have decided I'm gonna enter game design. That piece was very informative, Cuppa.

From what I read, there's any number of things I'd like. Being a programmer would be cool, I'm taking a C++ course right now. Being a QA tester wouls also be cool, I like thinking outside the box. And who's never wanted to be a GM? Really fun job in that. However, I like the idea of being a project manager (Much like Jack). Pulling all the strings and watching the final game fall together after a lot of hard work just seems to me like it would be the coolest thing in the world.

Thanks again for the info! I'll send the Cryptic Crew free copies of the first game I help make as a thank-you gift when I enter the industry

I hereby eat my words

A lot more different than I thought it would be =]

Oh, snaps! I know I've heard of the Antikythera Mechanism. I'm not saying anything, I could end up ruining the next chapter somehow

Next chapter may just get infinitely more interesting....

One thing I'd like to mention is Boost Range from the Blaster Energy secondary. It doubles the range of all your powers for a bit.... think about that.

Suddenly that Teleport has twice the range. You can go twice as fast -- from 143 mph to 286 mph.

Just.... wow. *drools* I can't wait until my blaster gets Boost Range. And I've had TP since lvl 14 on him, so I can just imagine how sweet that would be.

Seriously nice writing. You, my good DJ, get stars.

Keep 'em comming, I've got this page bookmarked now and I don't want to miss any.

Nice changes! This will really help altaholics, the debt you get before you develop a feel for your new toon can always make you want to play less.

Now that I know they're comming, I'm gonna get an alt to level 5. I'll max my debt, then retire him. Heh, new players would be amazed.

"Hey guys, check this out!"
"What?"
"My toon has max debt"
"Whoa, freaky.... he's only level 5. Was it a bug?!"
