  2. 1. Give Nemesis the Bane Spider Network.

    2. ???

    3. Profit.
  3. No hate for the 6-episode 2000's Fantastic Four cartoon? I'm disappointed.

    Primarily, I will be working with .txt and pic files (with the option of adding in audio/video).

    Any help is appreciated (because the amount of clutter available out there is overwhelming),



    Thanks!
    I use Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) for my own personal use (mostly converting between PDF, .MOBI and EPUB, as I have both a Nook and a basic-issue Kindle).

    Looking at it, it does have some sort of option that has to do with comics, but I've not used that functionality and I couldn't say how well it does the trick. It is free and open-source, so there is that in its favor.
  5. Again we roll.

    Tonight, once again, Master of ITF.

    No temps, no deaths, beverages in hand, no blame if we don't make the badge.

    8:00pm Pacific. Level 35+ accepted.

  6. My question is this: my wife and I are mostly interested in duoing - how feasible is it within the game?
  7. Short notice, but we're rolling in 45, beer in hand.

    Imperious Task Force, Master of. Anyone welcome. 8:00pm PST.
  8. Smersh

    Why bother?

    Durakken is always wrong.

    No worries.

    We came close - one death away from MoITF, so that'll be the target for next week.

    Recover well!
  10. We're rolling in half an hour.

    There's still time to sign up. Probably even time to run to the market and grab some tasty beverages.
  11. Looks as though their focus is going to be the mobile market/Facebook.

    That said, I'm now picturing that "Fly Me Away" song they used for their Kindle ads being used for a CoX video...

    Well, that's a shame, but RL always comes first.
  13. Well, everyone's been having so much fun, time to try this again.

    Master of Imperious' Task Force, tonight, 8pm Pacific. Bring your beverages of choice.

    Not sure about the one human hand. I wonder if that's part of the look they're going for or just a filming trick.
    Or maybe that picture is the actor just coming back from a break.

    edit: *takes a second look at the picture* No, that's filming. Hmm.
  16. I think I can make that costume in CoH.
  17. And, also, thanks to everyone who attended any of these drunken TFs - I've been trying to get that badge off and on for years.

    I'll be wearing it until the end.

    Yes, Master of 5th is quite easy. I got that on my first try.

    ITF, LGTF... those should be interesting.

    Yeah, but being responsible parents means something along the lines of not getting soused until after our daughter's bedtime.

    It's one of those things.
  20. We're on again tonight.

    okay, okay. maybe the market isn't as wide as I'd like. But I did have to get it off my chest and out of my brain.
    You want to market it to our current population.

    It should be World of G Gundam.

    Of course, the pace of combat slows down a little.
  22. I ran a top 50 supergroup on Virtue.

    We fell out of the rankings a while ago, but for a time, it was up there.
  23. Shouldn't the event be called Positron's Rally?
