  1. Well Done indeed.

    Thank you for the time...
  2. To start with: Zombie_Man's Plots of the Four Tracks Guide
    Paragonwiki's listing for Moral High Ground

    Otherwise, If you're worried about outleveling content, there's always turning off XP. Yes, it slows overall progression, but it is a useful tool if you want to progress through multiple Arcs. There's even a slash command for it.

    Thank you for the time...
  3. Now on topic:
    Personally I don't plan on seeing AS-M anytime soon. None of the current trailers have convinced me it is worth watching. And I rather liked the first two Spidey films.

    Now then...
    Noticed this little article off of a e-mail I got today. Shocker, Shocker, there's gonna be at least AS-M #2 & #3. Now what, I won't quite say, worries me is a linked article to a Superherohype interview with AS-M's Producers. If things go as planned, we could be seeing Spidey vs. the Sinister Six by Movie #3. While conceptually, it could be kinda cool. Realistically, can we say Spider-man 3 everyone...

    Thank you for the time...
  4. Also don't forget that non-VIPs can not pay base rent (unless that's changed...). As well as the loss of a Monthly Paragon Rewards Token and the 400-550 PP a month you get as a VIP.

    Also, You loose free access to the SSAs & First Ward & Night Ward Story content. As well as a number of 'Free to VIP' Costume sets & Powersets.

    To be honest OP, Even if you aren't running your 50s in Incarnate content, there's enough that you'd loose to not make it worth slipping to Premium for a month or two.

    Thank you for the time...
  5. Doing all four Storylines on one Character, I agree is more of a hassle than it's worth. If you float between the Loyalist Responsibility & the Resistance Warden Arcs, I feel you get just enough jist of what's going on in Prae and floating in enough Grey Area as well.

    Thank you for the time...
  6. If you're looking for a good way to deal w/the GR Arcs, Zombie Man's Plots of the Four Tracks Guide is a must.

    As to a good AT and/or Powerset suggestion, I'd refer it to others on the Forum. I've run one Brute (KM/EA), Scrapper (KM/Regen) & Corr (DP/Traps) through and have two Doms (Electric/Electric & Mind/Psy) in the mid to upper teens. Each playthrough has been a little different. The Doms have been a bit more a PITA, I think, 'cause of the heavier Status resists that Prae Mobs have in general, for that Level Range.

    Thank you for the time...

    According to Word Of God sources, nobody ever tried to start any trouble at all for a generation after Yan-Chen -died-, she was so intimidating and willing to do anything to preserve peace.
    If it was Yan-Chen in the pic a few posts up, I'd have no issue. But since it's Kioshi in the pic, a correction was needed.

    Thank you for the time...

    Taken 2 trailer

    I'm sorry, but had everyone forgotten just how tragic and badass Mr. Neeson can be: "They destroyed everything he had, everything he was. Now, crime has a new enemy and justice has a new face."

    Sheesh...

    Thank you for the time...
  10. Umm... Tech,

    I believe AH mentioned that LRM Rocket will not be affected by the Snipe changes.

    Thank you for the time...

    The fix is currently on Beta. Let's hope to see it on the mains within a Week or two.

    We kinda knew there was solid interaction w/the Avengers cast in USM (The linked Article is more a focus on USM getting a second season (uggh...) and a Hulk-centric show (be afraid...)). But there's a bit more in the TV Guide interview that's linked in the article.

    All I can hope for is story pacing like A:EMH and nothing like the writing in USM. And let's hope AA isn't set in the same 'verse as USM...

    Thank you for the time...

    :::Headdesk:::
    :::Headdesk:::

    Why? Granted I haven't watched much of Season 2 so far, but A:EMH is a fairly solid series. And the plan is to use the Movie-verse Inspired? yesh...

    Unless this new series is ready for a late '12, early '13 launch, I don't feel it would be worth doing. The 'hype' from the Film is gonna be gone won't be around much beyond that time frame.

    Thank you for the time...
  14. :::Groan:::

    I've found the 'New Teen Titans' shorts ok, but do we really need to see a full 1/2 - hour show dedicated to it? Sorry, pass...

    Thank you for the time...
  15. Gawd!!!

    Let's see here...
    The forumites were polled on two different looks.
    The forumites voted overwhelmingly for the version the looks decent.
    The forumites did not care for what is basically mirror flips of the silly looking log-in/load screen for I23.

    AND the web-op idiots in Seattle went with it anyways!!! WTF??!

    Why don't you guys act like other MMO CSR teams and just ignore the forums are telling you.

    /rant

    Thank you for the time...

    Lantern Draft

    The GF recently came across the following image via Facebook recently:



    Now this was done back in 2010 during the height of "Blackest Night". And to be honest, I like it, for the most part.
    Just to list who's who:

    Red/Hate = Guts
    Orange/Avarice = Gollum
    Yellow/Fear = Darth Vader
    Green/Willpower = Link
    Blue/Hope = Superman
    Indigo/Compassion = Kenshin
    Violet/Love = Jessica Rabbit
    (above copied directly off of his DA page description)

    Just off hand, I can agree with nearly every choice, except Supes as a Blue Lantern. I guess it's a personal thing, but the artist gives a reasoning on his website.

    Just something interesting I thought I'd share.

    Thank you for the time...

    In addition to that AP, Marvel and DC put out collections that are complete versions of specific storylines. For example, you should be able to find the Death and Rebirth of Superman as a single volume. Likewise for the Time Warp miniseries between Gold Digger and Ninja High School.

    Personally, until manga, I wasn't that into comic either, I bought them, yeah, but not really collected. I got most of my fantasy reading from Greek and Norse myth, King Arthur stories, Dragonlance novels, TSR novels, Tolkien and stuff like that.
    In reference to GD collections, AP also offers a PDF/JPG collection of all the actual GD issues and a number of the tie-in issues (NHS Time Warp issues, ect...) in their GD-Rom series. Ver. 3.0, IIRC covers up through Color Vol. #125. And as to the Gold Bricks, it's more a very limited, pre-order, print run. Fred has mentioned about it on his DA page in his blog section.

    Thank you for the time...

    I've always said that, out of all the actors and actresses I like, Patrick Stewart is the only one I'd like to meet. He has such a wonderful sense of humor about himself and his work.
    Steamboy isn't Stewart's only Anime work. He also did Lord Yupa in NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind. Also Eward James Olmos & Uma Thurman did Characters in that film's English Dub as well.

    Thank you for the time...

    GD is truly a unique title. One I've enjoyed over the years. It's action adventure with a mash-up of of Fantasy/Superheroics/Anime/Fighting Games/Pop Culture/Cheesecake & Beefcake/Parody that has been going strong for about 20 years.

    Thank you for the time...

    DKR isn't a bad read. Taken as a stand-alone project, it's entertaining. But taken in overall context w/a number of Miller's works after that, I think you can see just how crazy Frank was going to get.

    Thank you for the time...
  21. To be honest, I think it'll depend on what interests you.

    Best advice is to find a Comic Shop near the PS offices or near where you live. Go in and take a look around and ask the counter guys what they like.

    I also wouldn't limit it to DC/Image/Marvel. There's interesting stuff in the smaller press companies as well. There's a lot out there to find.

    Thank you for the time...
  22. So just to list it:

    Bleach
    Deadman Wonderland
    Casshern Sins
    FMA: Brotherhood
    GitS
    Cowboy Bebop
    Repeat of the Block

    Nice that 'new' programming as been added.
    I agree w/Shadowstone about how badly edited Deadman Wonderland is gonna be done as well.

    May watch. May DVR, depending on what I'm doing Saturday night.

    Thank you for the time...

    I actually remember J.K. Simmons (actor in question) first as shrink Dr. Emil Skoda from the Law and Order franchise. Looked up his listing on IMDB. Damn... He portrayed that Character for nearly the entire L&O Series run (except mainly when he was involved w/The Closer). He's also the voice of the Cadamus General in JL/JLU. Wow...

    Thank you for the time...
  25. About the only thing I'll add to the discussion until an actual line-up is given is this:

    To air any anime series requires said network to license it. Sometimes the fees that the show's holders in Japan charge can be rather expensive. If the network doesn't believe they can get the add revenue to cover the fees, they won't pursue it. There could also be issues with the domestic distributor as well.

    Thank you for the time...
