    Hey gang

    Shrug. It's just quieter than I remember is all, it's not a condemnation.

    VF hasn't been incredibly active of a chat channel the times I've been on, but I have seen plenty of folks in there.

    The new LFG channel has constant game chatter and is server-specific though.

    I was more talking about the actual server. Other than Atlas, the zones just seem completely empty.

    Yeah, in my (albeit limited) playtime so far, Victory seems like a ghost town.

    How's it going? I see Iso's is still a thing ... That is amazing to me, what an accomplishment. Anything else interesting going on on Victory? The board seems kinda dead
  7. Voodoo changed his avatar? What's next, Hamster stops griefing his teams?

    Favorite Comic:

    Chew. Hands down. What a weird premise but such great execution. The writing and art is just so phenomenal every issue.

    If you hit Command + Space, that should pop up Spotlight. Type in "Activity Monitor", and run the application that appears.

    In the list of processes there, if you still see City of Heroes, even after "closing" it, select it from the list, and then click the "Quit Process" button in the top left. That will forcefully stop the process.
  10. Pencil me in as a maybe. Probably bring a Sonic/Sonic Defender or a my Brute.
  11. Good luck, Castle! I hope you find as much and more success in the future than you did here. Your presence and work was certainly appreciated.
  12. The most confusing thing is that Voodoo changed his avatar!

    The thing that keeps people from guessing his ID is the same comic book absurdity that keeps most people from figuring out that Clark Kent is Superman, or Bruce Wayne is Batman, or Hal is GL, etc.
    I'm not arguing that it's not dumb (because it is), but I'm pretty sure that part of what all they did went beyond just removing it from the public knowledge and went so far as if people started to try to guess who Spidey was they'd always come to the wrong conclusion, unless he specifically told them. I need to find the source...


    Edit - Yeah, the "Psychic Blindspot".

    Spider-man is continuing on fairly strong. I really like his ability to create new stuff and showcase his scientific mind. However, I don't like one of the throw-away lines voicing his concern his new boss is piecing together his identity as Spider-Man. I thought with the whole stuff Doc Strange, Tony Stark, and Reed Richards did prevents anyone from discovering his identity unless he specifically tells them and/or sees him unmask. It's a non-concern and makes me worried that Dan Slott doesn't really know what he's doing. I know that's dumb but still...

    The Titan Network doesn't really mention "unofficial" anywhere but they do note that it's a fansite so I guess that's the same effect.

    Yeah, I was expecting a similar tone to American Gods considering the shared character(s?), but so far it's been a lot more fun. Poor Fat Charlie though (thus far).
  19. I'm currently about 1/2 way through Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I'm thoroughly enjoying it, there's a lot of good humor in this.

    It really depends on the creative team doing it. There's no one answer.
