Quote:Windowed mode is a must for me.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
The great thing about an MMO is that there are so many ways to approach the game. Whether you're crafting, leveling up, or just trying out new powers, everyone has their own way of enjoying it.
Lately with me, however, City of Heroes hasn't been clicking. Not a knock against the game; it's just that when I log in, the things I once did aren't fresh right now. I know that they'll return. In the meantime, however...
Give me ideas! How do you play the game? What makes it fun for you? Do you always do radio/newspaper? Do you play it in Windowed Mode while talking to friends? Is Ventrillo involved, or do you full screen it and block out the rest of the world?
What rituals do you follow that are absolutely vital to your having a fun time in the City? Let me know. Thanks!
Oh, and for reference, here are my rituals:- Windowed Mode.
- Hulu/Netflix playing the latest episode of the latest show.
- A messenger device set up (Skype, Facebook, Twitter...)
- Radios/Newspapers only.
- Pick Up Groups. Never preplanned play sessions.
Running iTunes if I won't be watching the TV (or Netflix Watch Instantly on the Wii)
Checking for global friends on.
Spreadsheet tracking my characters opened and looked for inspiration of who to play. -

Quote:Any idea on how some of the older areas of New Orleans fared in Katrina? I remember the James Bond movie "Live and Let Die" had some parts from there and I think "Dracula 2000" as well.Originally Posted by Lord_of_Time
Hell I say bring it on! That area needs revenue bad and the idea of a major Hollywood production like that in town will help bring in local cash and interest in the area. Sounds like a win/win for the people of Louisiana.
I wonder if there is going to be a Killer Croc in Bat 3... -

Quote:I think they are different because of the generally low opinion some people have about comic books and super heroes apart from the most famous guys.Originally Posted by BafflingBeerMan
Why would the superhero genre be different from the action or drama genre?
As with those genres, you will get a steady influx of good and bad. The only difference for the superhero genre so far is that it has been centered and focused around a few characters. If we get more projects like Watchmen and Kick-*** (which, I know, both "failed" but if studios ratchet down their expectations), then we will get more diversity and we will see it last longer and stronger. -
Quote:I still don't understand how a Ghost Rider sequel got okayed.Originally Posted by Lord_of_Time
I couldn't agree more. In fact I'm surprised the genre hasn't imploded already under the sheer weight of super movies being made. I mean occasionally having a superhero movie come out is great and mixes it up in Hollywood. But it seems everything coming out nowadays is either based on a comic or graphic novel and often the source material is never honoured and the film is just a cheap imitation.
I think it has 2 more good years in it, then due to the time to make films another 5 years of bad movies before it ends. -
Quote:Or I wish they would be so much more pro-active on superhero movies that they have several stories to do and film them all at once. The one movie every 3 years or more model really stinks.Originally Posted by Lord_of_Time
You know I really wish they would stop talking ahead like this about ANY film. I mean speculating or planning sequels to a film that hasn't even come OUT yet seems highly inappropriate since you have no idea if it's going to be a commercial success or not. Also a film should need a REASON to make a sequel because there is more to tell to the story not just 'because'.
I had hoped the Lord of the Rings movies had shown the right way to do it but I guess they have not yet agreed with that. -
At least 8.

Quote:Well then you may want to check out the episodes with the Eye of the Beholder, Gary Gygax and the Bender's Game movie.Originally Posted by Soulwind
(disclaimer: I'm not a regular Futurama viewer, I just tend to watch it when flipping channels and nothing else is on)
I saw an episode last night where they take Nibbler to the vet. In the waiting room is a robot with a pet Rust Monster straight out of the old AD&D Monster Manual...
Eye of the Beholder episode: How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back
Gary Gygax episode: one of 3 mini-eps,The Un-Freeze of a Lifetime , in Anthology of Interest I
Probably others but those jumped straight to mind. -
Quote:Your reasoning seems historically incorrect.Originally Posted by brophog02
Redside died. Just accept it.
The day the markets were announced to be merging is the day the vast majority of this playerbase had no reason to play redside anymore.
Pity, it had some good content.
Forum posters were saying they were leaving red side because of the markets being segregated once Going Rogue would allow them to play "villain" ATs blue side for the market. Once the merger was announced those people said they would stay red side because the market was not an issue to getting IOs for their villains. -

You must pick a side and argue strenously for or against it!
Otherwise, the Nuetrals win.

Quote:CoT Jails willalmost always have stuff. I've not seen a Council one do that in a long time.Originally Posted by Steel_Shaman
What's really fun is when the game engine sticks one of your glowies in that room. (I had this happen a couple of weeks ago.) I could swear I read a patch note/dev post somewhere that missions weren't supposed to do that. ie., "Jail" areas and portal rooms are supposed to be off limits in terms of objective placement. Am I misremembering that?
But to the topic at hand: yep, I have most maps' spawn locations memorized.
CoT Behemoth Portal rooms don't have stuff usually but you still need to open the door and enter and wait for the mission complete to trigger on a defeat all. -

I'm moving my Villain to experience a very specific arc and see a very specific scene. After that, I'm going back to Redside.

I'm looking at 12 on each side going to the other side eventually.

You're going to need a thicker skin on the internet that that.

Quote:Not too mention the human limitation of reacting to obstacles. Sure your body is moving fast enough but can your brain process the information to tell your body to avoid hitting that oncoming object in time?Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Explanation on this:
Yeah, 92 mph seems slow for "Super" Speed, but it's that low because of game engine limitations. If you were going much faster than that you could potentially outrun the game's mapping capacity. Then you'd end up in limbo, or possibly stuck when the game rendered terrain around where you already are.
As far as I'm aware 92.5 mph is the absolute speed cap.
Granted it can be said the super hero character can, but I am talking about person manning the keyboard.
