Nice Bio, kind of interesting to see a future Pale American somehow go back into the past to make up for some tragedy that he had a part in.
And yes, my new avatar is a pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker -

Well I guess seeing a visage of death would be unsettling. How about clowns, everybody loves clowns -
Great look, love it. Hope he works out for you
As for bio ideas, how about a guy falling in with the wrong crowd. Like an over patriotic person who joined in with an extreme militant group. A tragic event makes him realize the errors of his way. Confronts the militant group, he gets beaten and left for dead. Manages to survive and then dons a costume to fight back the evil that he almost became. -

No offense to anyone but is it me or is Stateman's speech sounding something along the lines of what President Bush gave to the public before invading Iraq.

It's not just you. For crying out loud, who writes Freedom Phalanx's dialog, Kyle Sampson? "Balance of power"? "Weapon of mass destruction?" Flat-out lies about how we don't know "yet" if Statesman's brother in law is "building a rapid strike force"? "If we fail to get the job done in the Rogue Isles, Arachnos will certainly follow us here?"

It just dawned on me that Lord Recluse is Stateman's brother-in-law. So some how all the heroes of Paragon City are getting involved and risking life and limb over some family spat. -

That's a great piece of Artwork. Congrats on getting it.

I tried other MMOs out there and despite what new features and shiny things that are in them. I always comeback here and the rest end up falling on the wayside and end up cancelling the subscriptions due to bordom.
One thing that draws me to the CoH/V game vs. others out there is the fact that I was raised on comic books and sci-fi. Personally the fantasy genre was never my cup of tea and never could see anyone's interest in them, plus it seems to be the genre that just about every Tom, Dick, and Harry's MMOs is based around on. So until something come along to grab my interest I'm happy and content here in good ol' Paragon City. -

Issue 10 will focus on a level range that you guys have been clamoring about for a while.

Hooray!

That'll be so nice! I'll probably be either the 35 - 45 range. No matter what level range it is, I'm sure it'll enrich the game.
Also, I can't WAIT for the veritable sh*tstorm of posts from ungrateful players and general wastes of life that scream at the top of their lungs "THIS CONTENT DOESN'T CATER DIRECTLY TO ME. IT'S WORTHLESS. I HATE THE DEVS AND THIS GAME. I'M GOING TO GO PLAY WOW. HERE IS ANOTHER $15. I STILL HATE YOU."
Those people fill me with warmth, glee and rainbows.

I would be glad if that happens. That would be one Less idiot to deal with in the game.
On the plus side the next interview is with Sexy Jay. Wonder what his responses will be like. -
This was so hilarious. God I couldn't stop laughing for a minute or two. Honestly keep up the good work to whoever did it and thanks for the great laugh.

I play in Virtue and always wondered. I know it's the "unofficial" RP server but what would happen if the devs announced that it was now the "official" RP server. Always wondered about that.

It seems that the latest patch (1-25-07 version) removed the Shield Chest Emblem design for females.

I would like to throw in my input on this. For me video games were an outlet for the frustrations that I felt during my childhood and sometimes a good source of entertainment. However I did have a few friends and a family that were interested in my well being so I didn't feel totally alienated when I was picked on and harrassed when I was at school.
In my personal view I feel that the incidents like Columbine were caused by the social environments, bad parents, uncaring teachers, peers and adults. Reason why I feel that video games and other media forms were blamed is simple, it's an undeniable truth. Lets face it some games are very violent, there are movies and music lyrics that either encourages or idolizes this behavior. So when something like Columbine occurs it's easy to point at something like video games, movies, and music. At best it's like pointing to the sky and saying it's blue, it's just there plain as can be.
To admit that a school shooting, mall rampage, or some other act of evil commited by some child or teen was caused by bad parenting, bullies, and uncaring teachers and adults. Would mean that a moral failure occured and to admit that would also imply that society in itself is a failure and I just don't think the people could deal with that. That the society they lived and functioned in has suddenly become nothing but some failed experiement to allow something like this to occur, and rather than take the time to address and do the work necessary to fix the issue it's better to play the blame game, put a band-aid on it, and go on as if nothing occured.
One of the things I've always wondered was what would happen if this was different. Instead of someone underage what about an adult. Would people be quick and up in arms to demonize video games and other media forms if an adult started to shoot at people because he played video games, watched violent movies, listened to violent music? Or would they go wow that guy was fruit loops crazy and deserves to die like a rapid animal?
Now as for this documentary. Lets face it, to me it's not a documentary at best it's a movie to project the following messages, that video games are the cause of moral decay and violence in america's youth, the industry doesn't care and/or is greedy, and to make people like Jack Thompson and Senator Joe Lieberman look like crusaders of truth and justice. Personally I find it shameful when they mentioned that Al-Qaeda members used MS flight simulator sims to train the 9/11 hijackers. At best this was a bad attempt to imply and spark a irrational fear that is not needed.
Not sure why Abe from Oddworld or Statesman would even be in this movie. At best I see it as a ploy by the makers of the film. Try to tie some games that are not so violent as say Hitman or Grand Theft Auto. Maybe cause a some kind of legal action to be taken and then the film makers can go "See the game industry is taking us to court cause they dont want you (the public) to see this movie" without even trying to mention what game or studio is involved and thus some how feed the propaganda of this film, but that's just me. -
Wow, I'm mean really wow. This is great stuff you have, hope to see more of it.

When I claim my Preorder Sprint Power reward, the button doesn't get removed from the badge window. I can keep clicking on it and seeing the "Veteran Reward Claimed!" text pop up over and over again.
[/ QUOTE ]
I think this is intentional. I think in test when one of the Veteran respecs was used the veteran sprint award would disappear and players would have no way to get them back. So to counter this, the devs set it up so that players can claim the sprint reward as many times possible. -
I had some left over halloween event salvage pieces (Statesman Mask, Lord Recluse Mask, Back Alley Brawler Gloves, and Hamidon Costume). Now for some odd reason the icons have all been replaced with a glowing purple canister icon and with orange text names.

The emblem patterns for females aren't showing up at all. Also the male robotic head design doesn't have ears sticking out, but the female robotic does. Ears sticking out on the female robotic heads just doesn't look right, to me anyways.

I hate to see you go and wish you the best of luck in your new endeavor with the Tabula Rasa community. You will be missed greatly

There's seems to be some kind of clipping issue with the shoulders when you have the Jackets w/ sleeves costume options. It only shows up with certain arm movements. Here is a pic of what I mean
