Moggies! Happy birthday to the Moggie, no matter how busy she is!

Not quite true. We can celebrate our time together with him.
I remember... and I hope I'm not making a fool out of myself, but I'm pretty sure that before he was BABs, he was running around after work in a Manticore costume, now and again.
I remember him holding a Manticore Look-Alike contest in the D. He came in second. (Red Fury?) came in first. She had a really great effort. -

Quote:Why not build a _really_ noisy wifi connection? Say, find a 2.4 ghz mobile phone and put it right next to the wifi till you get a minimal status?
I remember at PAX a couple of years ago watching and playing our game on their tenuous connections and being dismayed at how frequently attack animations just completely failed to play. Even in situations where there wasn't any good reason why they shouldn't play. Ultimately, it's the server that tells the client what move it should be playing, and I kind of assume that something as simple as a lost packet at just the right moment, or missed tick, can cause the sequencers to reject playing a move. This type of stuff has proven to be nigh-impossible to replicate on a local client/mapserver environment...which is the only environment where I can actually monitor the state machine of both the mapserver and client and see what's happening. -
Toxic Tarantulas. Especially as most melee sorts. Oh, they hit hard.

Am I missing something, or are the Dev Digests not up and running?

+down doesn't break emotes, either. Therefore, for any emote you can do while flying, you can slide around with as well. Example: /em lotus, fly down, and lean the camera back so that "Down" for you is a bit forward. Slide along your butt

I call that Invisible Bumper Car. I always use the yoga emote for it.
My two favorites are A: the old sword drawn/bow suicide pose, and B: the brief /em coinflip with Energy Melee that made you flip your ponpom into the air. -
What is the connection between Clamor (Eve Van Dorn)

All the other Van Dorns should be dead, and Crey funds the Freakshow... -
Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Brawler's been around a while. Now, the obvious choice is "Give Up The Funk/Tear The Roof Off The Sucker" by Parliament. But... I think, personally, he's more a Stevie Wonder kind of guy.

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we dont change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city!!!!

Manticore... I'm going to confess. I'm going to go for a band because of a synergy effect.

Seether's Remedy is a bit driven, and it fits... and that makes Manticore + Sister Psyche

Broken.
Numina. Besides the Numa Numa song... oh, come on, you were all thinking it... I dunno. She says Beatles to me, somehow. Something sad, but uptempo. -
And here I was thinking of the _other_ Lithium. Amy Lynn has such a great voice.

... Yes, but to be Type R, you need stickers, a wing, and an oversized exhaust. How many programmers do you know like that?

"The Going Rogue system is a new game dynamic for City of Heroes and City of Villains that allows players to alter the morality of their characters, eventually opening up the opportunity to turn their Hero into a Villain or vice versa."
Sound familiar?
Mmm. Spy archetype. A third, 'Rogue' style of play... -

Wow, that reminds me of a game I used to play when I was just a little girl. I forget the name of it. I just remember you started in this park and couldn't walk on the grass (but had to cross it). I finally figured out that you had to get in a baby carriage (that you found), open an umbrella (that you stole), and the wind would carry you across the grass.
Geez, what *was that called? Kinda miss the games when you had to actually think and figure something out to move yourself along.

Trinity, by Infocom. Very dark game, that. One of my personal favorite stories about the nuclear threat. -

It turns out it was the drivers. I didn't have anything older to roll it back to... so I took a hunch.
The Omega Drivers for Nvidia are _back_, and it's GORGEOUS, baby! -
Aha! It's the Shader Quality. Running a Core 2 Duo 2.66, 3 gigs ram, 8800 GT 512, and cranking the Shader Quality to High causes the stutter-steps.
Wonder why. -
Latest driver has a new feature! "Maximum pre-rendered frames"
Default is 3. -
Hey, you doing something for the VEATs? You recorded them as well.
What can I say? You keep showing up the Devs like that, you're going to make them work harder. Great job! -
Hm. Alternatively, if this 'extra per year' is a one shot like the freespecs they grant, test might not get any extra slots at all. Unless they want to test the code. Which they probably should.

I'll have to get some clarification from the tech guys, but as I understand it the Training Room Test Server Environment touches against it's own authentication, test billing and account server. As such, anything done there would be separate from your live account. I'm not sure how Optional Character Slots will be tested or allowed to be used on Training Room. When we find out more details, we'll let you know.
[/ QUOTE ]
The odds are, from that statement, the Vet slots will also appear on Test, then, duplicating live.
No certainties, of course.
