    I don't remember the Titans. I remember just about every other GM, though. And the ghost ship.

    Good times. *sigh*

    And now back to forum pvp



    Touche
    No personal attack at all, trust me. Like I was saying; if you care about saving the game, to do nothing was bordering on cowardice. If you are at all apathetic to the cause, then no big deal. It's not worth the chance for the casual gamer. I consider myself pretty much a moderate on all things. Disney probably won't work. Someone like Mr. Clayton with backers (I would love to see George R.R. Martin involved) are a better bet.

    Also, thank you for your service to the country.
  4. There is a few bar patrons who are becoming one with their booths as well. Been that way for awhile. Lack of attention, unfortunately.
  5. I do hate to say it, E_L, but I do read your posts in a feminine voice in my head solely because of your sig. Most posts are in a bland-ish newscaster voice to me.

    Funnily enough, GG is the same way.

    True. Unless you are smart, use your advantages and exploit their weaknesses. If people involved with Disney are clued into the game, i can't see it doing much harm. Unless it somehow increases the percieved value of the IP into the realm of stupidity.

    And even more recently, apparently THQ cancelled an FPS based on The Avengers. Linkage

    *edit* About the *only* genre that I can think of that they have yet to really hit is the RTS side and shoot em ups.

    There have been side scroller beat em ups, roleplaying games (either released or in development), normal beat em ups, pinball games (Marvel tend to be on this one, with licensing their IP for inclusion), FPS.

    There aren't all that many genres that *make sense* for Super heroes to be included in. Although a single player RPG along the vein of Baldurs Gate would be nice (although there was Marvel Ultimate Alliance, close but no cigar)... if you want to go Fallout 3 style, there is Prototype/Dishonored/Infamous to improve upon.
    Played a little infamous. It was ok, but nothing feels like a superhero game unless you can RP. I mean I think most of us are here because we want to be creative and live as our creations. Otherwise we'd be playing COD instead of COX.

    For all the fuzzy wuzzy feelings of "togetherness" they promote, this is what it comes down to; ensuring we as the consumer are spending our money with them and not with someone else.

    I'm sorry if that sounds a bit harsh, but however much it sucks donkey, ultimately that's the truth of the situation.
    Not harsh at all. Hence my post. It's not much different than the CEOs of at least 2 companies announcing lay offs and stating the reason as Obama won the election.

    BUT, to not try, to roll over and capitulate, is bordering on cowardice IF you care. If you don't then no biggie.
  9. Newer shiney game =new money.
    Shallow game = need for new shiney
    Need for new shiney game = chance for new money
    Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
  10. I haven't heard of it either, but DC has one like that coming out. Why are they all stuck in Mortal Kombat /Diablo times? I wouldn't be surprised if they made a FPS at this point. None of them get it...

    I guess next you are going to say that women should not be in the work force because we are only good for making babies and taking care of the house and having dinner on the tabel for when the man gets home from work.

    Is this the 1950s or 2010s?
    So all the catgirls are actually women?!! Maybe I 'm a woman. I don't recall saying i was male. Now who's sexist?

    First, thank you so much for showing up ingame tonight. It may be my last night on and to see a redname was perfect.

    Secondly, I am sorry I called you Black Pebble. In my defense you did spawn tentacles, and you know how he loves tentacles.
  15. I dunno. My motto is everyone online is a 45 year old man in a cheetos stained t-shirt. Especially the girls.
  16. That would be priceless.
  17. If they are serious they will. I am highly doubtful on a Disney buyout. Maybe after sunset we can get some real answers to the who's and what's if not the how much's.
  18. LOL! Did you go hit one?
  19. I have to say I 'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't a pitch by George R.R. Martin and the wild card mafia to buy it...teach me to think the name was a give away.

    But in the end as long as we are busy fighting each other, the corporate and their friends in DC have not a single thing to worry about and like friends do, naturally help out their friends.
    Because:
    #1: Republicans underestimate the average person's intelligence.
    #2: Democrats overestimate the average person's intelligence.
    #3: No one else counts.
  21. You will always be one of the "known " players of the game. Luck in the future.
  22. This won't be so hard i think. I know I for one will seek out other COH refugees wherever I am. Strength and happiness in numbers. It will spread naturally in a good game.

    LOTS of fingers in pies here, even some that you might not have been aware of.

    Would like to point out that they *did* own Miramax Films up till 2010 when they sold it to Filmyard Holdings.
    Don't forget Lucasilm and Skywalker in there now.
