You didn't miss much, JC. I had a small crowd...all of about 10 at the most, even with advertising here and in the Special Event's forum.

I think the major part of the problem was the timing. Not many people are on at Noon Eastern/9 am Pacific, even on Virtue. Live and learn.

The show was excellent, though. I had a lot of fun with those who did show up.

We are live! Galaxy City Arena, Emerald Wing. Come for the contest, stay for the music!

Tomorrow's the Big Day!

Are you ready for some Cosplay?

And yes, I will be posting the winners!

Storm Radio was originally created back in June as a station for Champions Online, but they pushed development on CO back to September. Meanwhile, everything was ready to go, so we began broadcasting in City Of, managing to get a small audience in the meantime. There were some problems, particularly with the tech and some 'conflict' on Virtue itself, but we've gotten our feet under us.

Now the bad news. As of September 1st, CO goes Live, and as such, Storm Radio will be moving. All those who have tuned in are more than welcome to stay tuned in, but this Show will be my last from Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.

Here's an update!

While the date and time are still the same, there has been a major donation to the prize fund, so now I have 120 Million in Influence to give away!

Best Male Anime Character:
1st - 25 Million
2nd - 12.5 Million
3rd - 6.5 Milllion
4th - 4 Million
5th - 2 Million

Best Female Anime Character:
1st - 25 Million
2nd - 12.5 Million
3rd - 6.5 Milllion
4th - 4 Million
5th - 2 Million

So come to the Emerald wing of the Galaxy Arena for a bunch of rocking Anime songs, and great costumes!

On August 28th, I will be celebrating the Two Month anniversary of my broadcast debut with Storm Radio (www.thestormradio.com) as DJ Draco. Join me from Noon to 4 PM Eastern (9am to 1pm Pacific), at the Galaxy City Arena, Emerald section for my first ever Theme Show: Animé! I will be playing a variety of Animé soundtracks from the 60's to modern day, showcasing the evolution of one of Japan's most popular music industries.

In addition, I have about 10 million influence burning a hole in my pocket, so I will also be hosting an Animé Themed Costume Contest throughout my show, with the winners to be announced in the final hour! I will be awarding prizes to the top 5 cosplay stars, so come dressed as your favorite animé character! I hope to see you all there!

Actually, the game is unable to take normal screenshots of the Character Generator screen. In this case, what you have to do is open an image editing program (and yes, Windows Paint will work), then press Control+V. This will paste what's on the clipboard (the last screenshot taken using PrintScreen) into the editor. Then, just save it as a .gif or .jpg.

Okay, I just ran Marshal Brass's 'Destroy the WSPDR' generators, and you can still enter the building in that mission. It's the one out in the main zone that's now locked up tight. None of the doors, nor the elevator on the roof, allow access in.

I don't know if this a bug or not, but I'm putting it here.

Up until recently, you could enter a lobby inside the WSPDR building in Cap Au Diable, and take an elevator up to the roof for easy access to the Media Junkie badge. I just checked recently, and now you can't.

What happened?

I apologize for not getting my take on Flame Enchantress up, I'm having some problems that have taken most of my attention. I am working on it, though.

I was thinking the other night...

Could the buttons for 'Purchase Server Transfer' and 'Purchase Character Rename' be removed from the main Character screen, and added to the 'Store', along with their price? I was thinking about renaming one of my characters, but I don't remember the price.

Yes, those are the new powersets being introduced in Going Rogue. Dual Pistols for Blasters, and Demon Summoning for Masterminds.

Sounds like all this "Twixt" person became was a one trick Pwnie.

That was quick. Thank you.

I just downloaded the recent patch, and when I got to the character select screen, all of the characters are 'frozen'. You can still turn them, but the breathing, body shifts, auras, and cape movement are all non-existent. One character looks like she has even had her wings removed. However, once I select a character and go in game, everything's fine.

Glad I checked this. Now to decide who I want to use.

I went with a full set of Doctored Wounds, as it was what I was able to afford. Thank you all for your suggestions.

Cool, thanks.

I'll start putting that set together.

I've always understood it to be:

Ladies = Cheesecake

Men = Beefcake

Because, you know, a bunch of grown men and women playing dressing up digital dolls is serious internet business. Really, is there *that* much harm in giving themes an honest-to-goodness effort? "Picture This" is a short game that exercises and challenges the imagination. What's the worst that could happen? A re-imagined character that looks sucky? 'Cause I gotta say, there are plenty of not so rockin' concepts running around in CoH. I don't think creating more is going to hurt anyone.

If you want to see how interesting a theme could make things, check out Marvel's limited series, 1602. The Marvel Universe shifted into the 17th century. Really, I don't see how a theme "limits" things. The only thing in a game like this that's really stopping you is your own imagination. Step out of the box a little and see what you can really do. A theme is a challenge that would only help you be a better writer/designer in the long run.

I agree.

So do I.

Also, for theme suggestions: Manga, Anime, Video Game, Super Sentai

I've got a Lv 50 Broadsword/Invulnerability Scrapper, and have Dull Pain maxed out slotwise. What would be a good IO set (or sets) to stick in it?

Started the updater, and it loaded fine.

Went to the login screen, entered my password, and two things happened.

1) My internet browser loaded up the City of Heroes main page.

2) The login page says that the game can't log on, the servers may be down, etc.

Okay, so there might have been a little miscommunication, so I shut down the game, and restart the updater. Now, it's got the main page in the window as opposed to the usual mini-page stuff.

What's going on?

Orchid you not, this was one of the best Punday Nights ever.
