  1. Just so people don't freak...

    OP is rehashing what can be found on the main website.

    Thank you for the time...
  2. Another Monday and another Micro-Ep.

    Micro-Ep #13 is up. Wasp takes the spotlight in this one folks...
    So what does she do while hubby is doing "boring" Science stuff? Go after Whirlwind while he's on a Villainous rampage, of course...

    Not sure I like the design used for Whirlwind in this one.

    Thank you for the time...
  3. Well apparently the Female Head fix is on the Training Room now.
    At least that's what the patch notes say...

    Thank you for the time...

    Halloween event

    I would figure there is gonna be ToTing in Praetoria.

    Part of why I believe that is there is a contact to turn in salvage to in Praetoria.

    Any thing else would be rather wild speculation at this time.

    Thank you for the time...
  5. Umm... Sorry, but NO!

    I would not agree because of the following:
    • I do not have the $400-600 to upgrade my rig and monitor to support the system. (i.e. Vid card to support, new PSU most likely, New Monitor, and the 3D equipment itself...)
    • I wear glasses as is. I do not feel the added need to put on a glasses-like device on top of my glasses for a minimal ohh-ahh factor.
    • I have actually tried the NVidia system. I don't find the 3D effects all that jaw dropping.

    As it is, I'm looking to upgrade my vid card so I can enjoy Ultra Mode , but I'm not looking to get something extravagant. Hopefully it'll be a nice Christmas present to myself.

    I do not see it worth the Developers time and effort to shoehorn in 3D effects at this time. While they have been able to do quite a lot with the current engine, I feel that would be too much for very, very little gain.

    Thank you for the time...
  6. Short answer: Yes.

    Little bit longer answer:
    While the value of what the IO itself modifies will change (per normal sidekicking rules), the set bonuses generated by your Lvl 25 set IOs will only be given through 22 (3 below) because of the Rules regarding IO sets.

    Which make it interesting how you may want to slot for a particular build...

    Thank you for the time...

    Personally, I was waiting for a kitchen sink arrow myself. He was shooting pretty much everything else at Hulk, so why not...

    Thank you for the time...
  8. Well...

    Micro-ep #10 is up. Hulk Arc conclusion.
    Hulk vs. Black Widow & Hawkeye w/Gen. Ross playing spoiler. Let's just say Hulk gets a moral choice to make.

    This could be an interesting series indeed...

    Thank you for the time...
  9. Oh dear Gawd...

    Poor Beta Ray Bill... "I'm not a horse!!"

    Thank you for the time...
  10. Well Fury's little tale is up on Marvel's Channel now as Micro-ep #9.

    Might as well update your OP Talia...

    EDIT: Looks like Marvel has gotten The Avengers:EMH playlist fully updated now as well.

    Thank you for the time...

    This is a little light on extras beyond the Digital Copy. A commentary by Favreau on the Film (Disk 1) and Deleted Scenes (Disk 2). Featurettes on the creation of the Stark Expo and the blending of practical and CGI in use of the Armors (Both on Disk 2).

    Not a whole lot, but I think worth the cost.

    Thank you for the time...
  12. This is what I get for getting interested in something...

    From DisneyXD's Youtube page:

    Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Continuation form the Iron Man Arc. Fury & Co. dropping off the Hydra goons at the Vault. Only to discover the whole UN attack was a ploy to get Grim Reaper in to free Baron Strucker (sp?). But hey, Fury get's his white hair bits in this one...
    I really like the exchange between Hill, I think, and Fury starting at the 5:53 point. Interesting...

    The Siege of Asguard - Picks up where Micro-ep #5 Left off. Loki leads some Frost Giants on a assault of Asguard. Much carnage ensues as well as seeing a number of the Iconic Asguardians in battle. And we see Thor get very, very Angry...
    Hopefully we'll get to see some brotherly smackdown before the series starts up as well...

    Thank you for the time...

    No. Please gawd no...
    We do NOT need 3D pod Racing or anything else in either trilogy spruced up to need gawd awful glasses to enjoy those films.

    Thank you for the time...
  14. Well now...

    Micro-ep #7 is up as well.

    Hulk vs. Absorbing Man, Pt. 2

    Oh, and the Army's Hulkbusters show up, just to spice things up.

    EDIT: Damn... should of watched it all before posting. Black Widow and Hawkeye show up as well...

    Thank you for the time...

I mostly use the mouse for stearing, and the keys foe forward/backward/jumping. I also have an 8-button mouse, and I re-set those buttons to be keys on the keyboard for binds.

    I have thought about getting that Belkin Nostromo (CMA talks about it periodically), but with this keyboard, I don't have a strong need for it.
    I'll agree w/LM on the MERC. Though the GF & I use the non-stealth version. If you can find it, it's less than the stealth (no led back-lighting).
    I have found the software that comes with it easy to modify. Like LM, I tweaked the basic CoX template to my own config and have been using it for about 3 and a half years now.
    Between that and the Logitech laser Trackball mouse, I play CoX happily.

    Thank you for the time...

    A "Meet the X" Series would be interesting to see. That is something maybe you and Steelclaw and work on. It just sucks the our characters don't have lip movements...

    And I wouldn't mind seeing a TCSR trailer either.

    Thank you for the time...
  17. If you haven't done any dedicated badge hunting, now might be a good time as well. Paragonwiki's I18/GR badge list will help.

    Thank you for the time...

    Actually... umm... I've been giving serious thought to focusing on music videos, parodies, etc, and actual storyline vids, and umm...

    ... not making trailers for the game anymore.

    I mean, look at the GR trailer they did (and not the CGI one) - it was really, really good! Good music, it covered all the bases, gave a good flavour of the game (there's that British spelling again). And the exposure my videos give the game isn't nearly as widespread - the devs post a video, and within 24 hours it's everywhere. So my videos are sort of redundant, when you think about it. Don't get me wrong, I still love doing them - I just feel... kinda extraneous.

    Now Michelle...

    If you didn't have the RL things that delayed you getting the I18/GR trailer out, I'm sure you would of had it done either on or shortly after GR launched. If it isn't any clearer: We enjoy your work!

    To be bluntly honest, it almost doesn't seem like a Issue has been released with out a trailer done by you. You make rather good presentations and they come off rather well. Don't sell your self short on that.

    Thank you for the time...
  19. Micro-ep #6 is up for viewing now as well...

    Just letting it load right now.

    EDIT: Iron Man vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. vs. Hydra
    Not too bad. I'm not sure if it's the RDJ Stark or the late 80s/early 90s (i.e. Armor Wars) comics Stark that's being used here. I think this will prove to be an interesting series.

    Thank you for the time...
  20. And here I was gonna suggest this be put in the Suggestions section, but I think you might be correct...

    Thank you for the time...
  21. As I commented on the Youtube page:

    Quote:
    Nicely done Michelle. Nicely done...

    If anything, my only complaint (if that) is the Hero/Vigilante/Villain/Rogue order. I would of swapped the Villain/Rogue. I can understand why you did it that way though. Otherwise your vid covers I18/GR perfectly.

    5/5
    Well done.

    As to what vid? Most interesting man in Praetoria, of course!

    Now how about an update to Superhero Romance II, please?

    Thank you for the time...

It is about what the Online Community Relations (OCR; i.e. Avaeta, Mod8/The Ocho, Mod12) team have and/or haven't done in terms of interacting with the forum community over the last six weeks or so. Please try to keep in mind that OCR's responsibilities are to the Forums and PR/Marketing related side of the game, not the Development or Production side of the game.

    The main generation of this thread is from the apparent lack of any kind of reply from OCR and/or Marketing over the rather negative feedback from the release of the Party Pack. While I have made my opinion on that topic clear, I agree that there has been a shift in the way OCR interacts with the Forum Community as a whole. Personally, I'm not entirely sure I like it.

    I like the fact that OCR has been trying to get the Forum Community active in some in-game and out of game activities. That is fine and expected. But when recent things happen that gets a lot of people upset, there is very little, if any response, from OCR (Party Pack, Loss of Warburg Nukes in CoP on test, and a few more I'm not aware of...). It makes Obsidius' OP relevant.

    If nothing else, Corporate placating speak I would tolerate or a simple "we screwed up and we're working on trying to fix it" kind of message would of gone a long way to please of of the Forum Community. It's not much, just something when the Forum Community gets mad, that's all.

    Thank you for the time...

    While the whole sequence is about 5-8 minutes long (don't recall right at the moment), the gist of Syndrome's monologue is in NP's post.
