  1. Phoenix. See above about flying through stars.

    Vision, perhaps, via making his body intangible, assuming the EMP doesn't fry his circuits.
  2. Anyone have one they'd like to trade for one of the earlier codes? If so, please PM me.

    From the looks it, it wasn't too hard to get multiples. Two different sellers each have three listed for sale on eBay.
  3. Let's see...

    37. Liam Neeson
    47. James Earl Jones
    48. Peter Cushing
    55. Samuel L. Jackson
    57. Christopher Lee
    66. Ian McDiarmid (seriously? Ian McDiarmid makes it, but Alec Guinness doesn't?)


    Looks like the Sith/Empire win this one, both by number of entrants as well as average ranking (54.5 to 64.5)


    And yeah, Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart, and even Gary Cooper missing from this list makes it invalid in my eyes.
  4. Looks great, Dinah.

    I commissioned a piece from Laurie B at San Diego Comicon, which she is going to send me when it's done. It's not a CoH character though.
  5. There were a few questionable inclusion, and some debatable omissions, but to not have M*A*S*H on the list diminishes it greatly in my eyes.

    So what if there was a movie/comic/show where they play on that idea... Star Wars is taken as someone telling the story to someone on earth that knows the story of this ancient past... This guy takes on a apprentice to pass on this tradition for some reason and just at that time Sith start showing up...


    I think it'd be cool ^.^
    Not sure if you knew this, but in Raiders of the Lost Ark, R2D2 and C3PO appear in a heiroglyph on the wall of the well of souls. So there's even more prescedent for your idea.


    As for the book that asserts the SW universe is populated by descendents of Earthlings... huh? The story takes place "A long time ago," so how would Earthlings have populated another galaxy thousands of years before events that take place a long time ago?
  7. Not really "ashamed" that I never watched any of these, but...

    The new Battlestar Galactic series
    Babylon 5
    Farscape
    Any Doctor Who aside from maybe 3 or 4 random episodes here or there.

    Those are the biggies. I also haven't watched many of the more recent network Sci-Fi shows.

    Movies I'd have to think a little harder on...
  8. If anyone gets an IDF Ranger code they don't want, I have a number of the earlier codes I'd be willing to trade for it.

    PM me for a list if interested.

    A new AT.

    I never said I disliked Melee for the pure fact that I have not really played them. Not a single melee has made it past level 5. Well, other than my widow.

    I do not really think melee is my place due to the small room between me and the villain/victim. And this scares me do to the trouble I am having with the idea of softcaps and such. This is the first game that I would have truly had to dedicate time to my defense. Other games I either had no control over it or I had a panic button for quick Def. I understand the concept, but slotting just feels like an enormous puzzle, especially when I probably have 100mil total among all of my chars.

    I loved Ill/Rad due to my PAs ability to bypass my lack of defense. I have no money to spend so inf intensive builds are terrible for me.

    I am also very fond of being told what to do. I enjoy reading what others say and taking into account. My favorite guides are the ones with the lvl by lvl information. As an uneducated member of a community that is so keen on the little fibers, it is nice to hop on the car. I am here to enjoy this game so it helps eliminate all of the boring statistical parts.

    The greatest enjoyment I have of this game, is the feeling of control. That is why I dislike Cor and Blast. They just feel like a missile silo. I did not become a hero/villain to let the/my villain/victim get a quick and painless death. I want them to panic, to be confused, to fight each other. I am the definition of a Vigilante/Villain. The use of control helps feed the sadistic side of my concepts.

    So back to the point, I am either going to choose one or go both.(Plant/Fire or Plant/Storm) Under the guise that I will choose only one of them, which one would you recommend?
    Not trying to talk you into anything, but my BS/WP scrapper is seriously tough and I have spent very little time or influence on defense. In fact, she has almost no IO enhancements in her defensive powers and can easily solo at +1 x4.

    Still, I can't seem to get into tanks or MMs, so if melee isn't your cup of tea, I totally get it.
  10. Why are you guys having such a hard time reading that font? On my computer it actually appears to be larger than the default font.

    I didn't read anything in your (admittedly scanned) posts that tell me you're opposed to melee, so if you like to be active and move with your opponent - role a Something/Willpower scrapper.

    I have Broadsword/WP scrapper that I love. One warning about Broadsword - the attacks are high damage so they have a longer recharge to make up for that. I use to joke that I could run through my attack chain, go throw my laundry in the dryer, and grab a drink before my attacks had recharged. And willpower is basically a click-n-forget defense set that is very balanced and provides good survivability.

    My BS/WP scrapper was my first 50. My second was a mind/fire dom who is VERY fun to play as well.

    This is a common type of linguistic misconception. For example, many people seem to think that "penultimate" is "more" ultimate, but it actually means almost ultimate. I.e., the penultimate syllable in a word is the second to the last, not the last. This is also illustrated by peninsula, from the Latin, "paene insula," which means "almost an island."
    I learned something today. I thought peninsula was latin for "looks kind of like a... "



    Kidding about that last part, but I did not know about the "almost an island" origin of the word.
  14. Why not just add a mission at level 20 or whatever that allows you to unlock a "portable tailor" in the vein of remote access to the AE mission creator or the market? I mean after a while shouldn't we be able to reasonably sew/repair/create our own costumes?

    I won't say the first movie isn't good, but I've never been able to sit through it the whole way without losing interest, or falling asleep. The only film that perplexes me more in this respect is 2001. I don't think I've ever made it past the 30 minute mark of 2001.

    Summer Event?

    Temp power for villians: Kick Sand - a limited use (charges or timed) single target, or narrow cone, disorient power.

    Temp power for heroes: Bottle of Sunscreen - a limited use (charges or timed) single target ally defense buff vs. energy and fire damage.
  17. Let's see, there's...

    ...my Storm/Sonic defender, Hanna Storm

    ...my Sonic/Fire blaster, Ann Fury

    ... and my Plant/Kin controller, Spike Greenberg.

    I just wanted to show off the fact that I know the proper spelling of fuchsia.

    In reality, TheBruteSquad has the best answer in the thread considering what charas really are (is?).
  19. ...we'd be out of the heroing business.

  20. Chartruese, fuchsia, and burnt sienna.
  21. I for one would find that WAY MORE immersion-breaking than running across the occasional real world ad on a billboard.
  22. However it happens, I am 100% in favor of this suggestion!
  23. A few older songs I don't recall seeing on anyone's list:

    Route 66 - multiple versions

    King of the Road - Roger Miller

    Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane

    Roadhouse Blues - The Doors
  24. I'd be surprised if Freedom launched the week before a 3-day holiday weekend, but I wouldn't necessarily be disappointed (unless it was really buggy at launch). I think a more realistic release date would be September 6.

    As for the sale applying only to Master Accounts, I'm not so sure. I used the "Refer a Friend" program to create a second account under my Master Account and I still received the benefits from that. Unless they have changed some coding internally, I would think the the system will recognize any new account, whether its a Master account or not, as a "new subscriber."
