I lost power suddenly this morning and it lasted most of the day, 11 am --> 9:30 pm. I don't know why, but I suspect it was planned outage so my power company could working on something. And the radio is still listing the various other power companies in the Tri-state area here who each have hundreds of thousand customers without power.

I've always found your posts about your idiot team mates entertaining. It's a unfortunate that you got so much flak for your outspokenness.

My lights have flickered occasionally since noon-ish, but I still have power. The wind, though, is now really loud.

A side benefit of the wind so far, is that it has shaken out 3 moderately large dead branches from the oak trees in my back yard (only 2 are visible here). Less threat of sudden death from above in the future.

Unfortunately, I underestimated my stock of canned and dry food by the time I thought about it. I can probably get by for a week if I had too, but it's not as much of a buffer as I'd like if all this power outage hype comes be realized. The canned cat food isn't much better and my cat has been finicky about the dry stuff.

Anyway, it's starting to get a bit windy here. Public transit service is shut down, so I'm working from home as long as I have power. I'm living in Jersey now, but I'm in-land a bit and not near any rivers or streams. Although, my neighbors tell me that that depression I have in my back yard was once the brook that gave this street I'm on its name

Speaking of power, maybe I should start a Dr Q TF. I've never been the one that would disappear after a couple of missions only to reappear just before the last mission due to "loss of power". Now's my chance to achieve this milestone in my COH experience!

So, how goes the betting pool on where it's going to hit?

I launched and logged into the game normally.

Wow! A real tear jerker. I really liked the walk through of cheering heroes.

Was that a Shadow Shard TF or regular mission? Either way, kudos for doing it old school!

Let me take this opportunity to plug Rasa Vineyards wines. One of the brothers behind the company is a college buddy of mine and I'm for a 2% stake in the partnership. If you care, professional wine reviewers have consistently given Rasa's wines 90+ points, or equivalents if they don't use points. Unfortunately, I can't give you a personal opinion because my palette just doesn't do alcohol well. To me, all wines tastes like I'm chewing grape seeds and beer is just vile.

Edit:
I had a case of assorted Rasa wines sent to Paragon Studios for their 7th Anniversay, so if any Devs want to comment...

Sorry, I didn't notice this thread until this morning. I'm attending the NYCC. I wore my 3 werewolf and moon T-shirt and my Player Summit lanyard. Although, to be honest, I doubt I made much of an impression amidst the press of the crowds.

This occurs occasionally. Try logging back out to the server selection screen and check again.

I heard Virtue maxed out at around Atlas Park 33, that's why late comers were going to Freedom, etc.

It choked me up!

I'm still playing every day. I bought the Water Blast set and made a water/dark Blaster the day after the initial announcement. I got her to 50 last week after only 65 hours on Patrol doing Tips, TFs and general teaming. My fastest ever, but then again, I don't have the luxury of spending 3-400 hours like I did for my first batch of characters that did mostly soloing. I must say that I really like Water Blast. It plays like Fire Blast with all the AOEs, but is more survivable because of its secondary effect.

Next week, I may start up a Nature Affinity Controller.

First view!

So this game started with a Rikti Invasion and it'll end with one.

Do Gooder Press (PS238, Full Frontal Nerdity, Nodwick) and a mention of the Unity Rally

OK. I have no idea who Ascendant is. Some give me a briefing please.
