As an unrelated issue I tried running both the editor and the launcher a few minutes ago and both are giving me errors and refusing to work. Any information or advice? Should I dump the programs and re-download/install?

Storyline for me. I like to incoporate my own stories in to the CoX world, pitting my forces against the various evils that plague the city, or carving my own niche in the Isles while battling for supremacy amongst the other wannabe bad guys.

The costumes come in second. They kick [censored].

Thanks, and yeah, closeups are kinda hard to do on the live servers, you only get from about the neck up and then it's nothing but blank space for the top 2/3 of the screen. I'll work on it.

(Figured this would be the best place to put this since videos are basically moving screenshots)

This is my first attempt at using the Fraps and editing software that have been sitting on my hard drive for the past few months. I've never done this before so the video is just a bunch of random shots slapped together and put to the overused yet appealing "Mad World" by Gary Jules. I've been wanting to get into it for some time but never seemed to find the motivation (the Gears of War commercial is what finally did it).

If anyone has any tips, hints, links, info or harsh words I'd love to hear them. I'm also going to get into the whole demorecord editing eventually and have links to some good sites bookmarked, so we'll see what I can do with that later.

Video features members of my Nexus Syndicate VG on Protector, plus some reserve members from the Test server. ^^ Lemme know what ya think!

Hallway Doors
Originally suggested by: Possibly someone else, but as far as I know just me... so far
Category: Hallway/decorative
Customizable? No, but different styles to match current styles (tech/sewer/arcane etc)
Type: purchased
Description: Sliding doors seperating rooms that fit in the centers of hallways. Similar to the clickable doors in door missions (e.g. Council bases, Oranbega, tech base 'airlocks'), base doors would be purely decorative and could either be automatic or clickable and will close again after you've passed through. Could add an element of surprise to a base raid (didn't know that turret was there, didja?) or could be purely decorative (I have a small SG base where the entry room is a sewer but it opens into a secret high-tech base, would be cool to have a moveable sewer wall as a 'secret' entrance to the main base)
Limitations: Can only be placed in the center of doorways (matching the possible mid-wall style change that annoys me) so as not to completely conceal the fact that there's a room on the other side, i.e. no hiding the IoP vault behind a false wall!

And to answer the question, "What do I do with all this extra Event salvage after Halloween?"

Pumpkin Shooter
Originally suggested by: Moi
Category: defense/turret
Customizable? No
Type: crafted - mid table
Description: A turret built from your remaining Halloween salvage (let's say 10 of each of the four types). Launches a pumpkin bomb similar to the ones Eochai throws, causing smashing damage with DoT fire damage thrown in. Evil laugh optional.
Limitations: Only limitation I can think of is the rarity of the salvage. If it gets destroyed in a raid you probably couldn't craft another if you don't have enough event salvage left.

I think that's what that meant. Sometimes businesses will work out deals to carry a new product before anyone else so they get the rush of people who want to buy it as soon as it comes out. After that initial period everyone else gets to carry it. It happens a lot in the video game business; developers will get gaming magazines to give their games good reviews in exchange for exclusive information and screen shots, or a publisher will make sure it comes out on XBox for a while before releasing it on PS, etc. It's all about profit, but in this case it looks like something didn't go exactly as planned... either Walmart is SOL, or the other retailers are getting shafted as well and won't get the GvE edition until even later. That's just my guess though.

I'm disappointed that the online release was pushed back a week, but really, I think I'll live. Just means I can spend the ten bucks on food instead of a code.

Mmmmm food.

Heya, finally got my account up and running so I figured I'd put this here...

I don't do a lot of drawing nowadays but I did manage to put this down on paper a little while ago. It's my main villain on Protector (who I now ignore in favor of alts, poor guy), my dark/dark brute The Restrained. Was trying a new Photoshop coloring method I found in a manga book. Think it turned out okay. I'm not that good with PS so it's a bit dark, but I think I got the overall feel I was going for. Thoughts?
