    Freewaydoggy, I think you should subscribe to the game just for the community.

    Spending the time to patiently help a new player enjoy the game with nary a disparaging word.

    Aren't they just the awesomest?!
  2. I'll probably get a slap on the wrist for this but....

    I see all of those zeros after the 'estimated retail value' of each costume code & then I head to Ebay to have a look around & realize that those estimates may be a tad low.

    Same here.

    I was under the assumption that everything in the store would be discounted today & was disappointed to find only select items half off.

    If any Booster Pack needed the discount, it's the Party Pack.

    Oh well, looks like I'm skipping it again.
  4. Aww Yeah!

    What, you think he's a tier 3 or lower? Well buddy, I have just one thing to say to that:

    NUH-UH!
  5. Arresting? Dang, I've been killing everything for the past 6+ years.

    Guess I've been doing it wrong. :P

    A LOT.
  7. Wow, very nice! The color combination of the uniform is very well done.

    The sketch of her looks a bit younger than the screen shot. Was that drawing done when she was in middle school?
  8. Two more went up today.

    Let the fun begin anew!
  9. The funny thing is, that auction started out as a $200 "buy it now" but because somebody placed an opening bid, it became a normal auction & now is past the $200 price point that somebody could have gotten it for.

    And no, I am NOT the seller. I've just been keeping my eye on this one because I'm curious how high it will go.

    Curl into the fetal position. It helps. Trust me.
    *sob*

    Anyway, I've lost count on how many vet badges I've accrued. Oh wait, it's in my sig!

    So yeah the community for this game is pretty damn awesome. This was my first MMO & I've played at least a dozen others since the CoH beta & the community here trumps them all. I just wish I could say I actually play with them in the game but I rarely do. Ever since all of my in-game buddies left for other pastures 2+ years ago, I pretty much play this game like a single player RPG with the very occasional pugging when the mood strikes.

    But you know what? I still love the game & will be here when they shut the lights off. Besides, I am subbed to some great global channels (hello Pinnbadges) so I'm never really alone even when soloing.

    Oh & who wants to be a midget or fairy in some fantasy MMO that can barely handle 3 enemies at once when you can be a super-powered badass taking on 20 foes at a time? NOT ME BROTHER!


    EDIT: Hey whaddya know, after 6+ years I've finally hit my 100th post!

    The ancient texts were wrong though. They foretold that I would use the word "pee" somewhere in my 100th post & it looks like they didn....

    wait a second....

    I DID IT! The prophecies were true! I AM THE CHOSEN ONE!!!
  11. My namesake (see bio below) is a Thugs MM & his "little helpers" are named after elves:

    Thugs: Snap, Crackle, Pop
    Enforcers: Keebler, Legolas
    Bruiser: Elfvis (couldn't think of another famous elf name I liked so I went with this)

    ColecoVision (named after the 80s game console), my Robots MM has minions named after popular cartridges for the system:

    Drones: Donkey Kong, Zaxxon, Venture
    Protectors: Cosmic Avenger, Space Fury
    Assault: Smurf Rescue (something I like about this HUGE death-dealing machine being named after a relatively harmless little blue critter).

    Do You See Ninjas? is my Ninja MM who's a simple fry cook at a local diner & thinks the ninjas following & protecting him are all in his head:

    Genin: Not Here, Doesn't Exist, Imaginary
    Jounin: Illusion, Figment
    Oni: Apocryphal

    There got that out of my system...sorry everyone.
    YOU GO GIRL!

    *ahem*

    Anywho, I forgot to mention it in my previous post but the main reason I was drawn to Cox is, well, he's a pretty funny dude.

  13. Obviously, that technology already exists. I mean, there's a picture of the planet right at the top of the page. How'd they get that if they didn't warp to it?!?!
  14. Got into the CoH beta fairly late (about a week before it went live) but that was more than enough to hook me.

    CoH was my very first MMO & even though I've played about a dozen others over the years--including World of zzzzzz....*snort* huh? wha? Sorry, drifted off there for a sec--It's the only MMO I'm currently subbed to.

    Why? Because no other MMO has made me feel as much of a badass as this one. Right from the get-go, you are "Level: Awesome" and you only get better. Plus you don't have to kill 500 boars to get them to drop 5 tusks to get to level awesome either.

    Let's face it, Superheroes > midgets & fairies. Period.
  15. Took me over 2 years but I finally got around to playing my first VEAT: Arbiter Arbitrary.

    All five definitions seemed applicable.
  16. I had to zoom in to get a closer look.

    Hmm, definitely a case of diaper dermatitis. I recommend a simple cleansing with water & a soft cloth followed by frequent applications of either patroleum jelly or zinc oxide to provide an effective barrier against skin irritants & lessen friction to irritated skin.

    It appears the sufferer is unconscious so you may need to do all of the above yourself, Healix.

    Good luck.

    Well of course. I have no delusions that I'm anything more than a fake Arbiter.

    Besides, no real Arbiter in his right mind would wear blue & gold in September!
  18. I liked the way he said it but I didn't like what he said so I had to respond!



    On a related note, does anybody else talk back to NPCs or am I the only one here cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs? Heck, I do it whether or not there are other players around to hear it. :/
  19. Back in Ye Olden Times® I deleted a L42 Merc/Traps MM. His "questionable" original name was genericced & I was never satisfied with the replacement name I chose (I think they gave me 3 days to submit 3 alternate names in order of preference--In my best Tweek voice: "Too much pressure!"), so much so that I decided to just get rid of him.

    Then lo & behold a few months later they allowed name changes (which would have given me the time to come up with a name I would have been satisfied with).

    DAMMIT!

    That was the part that made me lose it.
  22. This pack is just....sad.

    Not even a costume piece or two? Bah.

    I'm passing on it (& this coming from a guy who buys EVERYTHING).
  23. Ms. Liberty. She'll just stand there & let you take upskirt shots all day. That's HAWT!
