i'd try to slip in an h. ross perot reference, but im probably dating myself there. (this is the setup line..make me proud)

As for me, he, i'll see them, i lack nerdrage here, i'm already guessing that the podracing scene and the trench scene will likely benefit.

sorry, i gues i felt it was implied, but i meant a pvp dev that was active. the base thing was bad. if that happened, blah.

due to its popularity, it also had become kind of a distinguishing term for the 15 developers who worked on coh from between the launch of cov to the ncsoft buyout. kind of a spartan type designation of the freem 15. humorously the competing superhero game took it as a visual indicator of a certain type of power attack, that may have been part of the reason for the eventual die off. not at all, it was something that would have worked thematically(a good portion of us play with sound way down and music on anyhow). so while it was a joke, many felt it wouldnt be a bad feature. note that it is in the competing superhero mmo and in the freedom force games. besides, one of this community's strengths is that we like a good joke, it was a lighthearted interchange with the developers and everyone had fun with it.

ok, here is the deal. first, babs has been responsible for some of the best additions to the game, he did power customization and the alternate animations, we will not seriously ever discuss letting him go again. you have no concept of what you are talking about any more than a 5 year old explaining how to properly encase a nuclear reactor.

Second, you seem to be one of the few people i have read about that felt that trials of atlantis did a good job with underwater settings. what i have read was quite the opposite, it was viewed by many as a critical disappointment, same with champions which i still actively play, and lemuria is one of the zones people actively avoid, melee especially is horribly disadvantaged in a setting like this. its even cumbersome in perfect world as a tideborn. wow seems to be trying it in cataclysm, havent tried it to know, but it is a fairly consistent thing that underwater settings dont work well in mmos. I wish they did, in theory i'd support it unreservedly, but reality has to be taken into account.

Initially I thought the same thing, but no, the jill sobule song is entirely different. different themes too, but not risking the mod beatdown of describing them.

ah yes, they put that song as the first track on the "at the edge of time" cd, extended a bit, of course, very symphonic take on it. quite a few of their songs are on my task force playlists, when i know im down for a few hours, it helps to have some energetic music. also worth checking if you like hansi(the lead singer's) voice, is side project they did with iced earth called "demons and wizards" they had a few really good songs.

one sign that a metal band is good nerd metal is when they have a nearly 15 minute long song based on homer's "the illiad" (and then there was silence)

oh, and for the rush fans, any also dream theater fans? They work for my prog rock moods.

well, it is possible. 6 years is longer than a lot of marriages, it sure as heck is longer than any offline game gets played(possible execption of the elder scrolls games), eventually its just time to do something else. plus, phil got (presumably) a good woman, that would probably take me out of the game too. naturally, the ideal is to get one that likes the game as well, but reality is what we deal with.

at least, no stranger than usual.

they briefly brought it back when one of the star wars movies was out, they added some kind of sour flavor to it, my little brother loved it.

you wore white after labor day, or tweed after arbor day, or a thong after guy fawkes day?

well, on my take it seemed disjointed because i had stomped blade pretty handily on the top o the stair landing, so what i saw onscreen was not what was going on. but here is how i saw it, rian and silent blade fought, rian(a scrapper, not relevant to the story but it fit the situation) demolished her in a stand up fight, she fell back to talk to him(my memory of the dialogue is a bit fuzzy) but she largely makes impotent threats about how she will fulfill her contract, nice talk but too beaten down to take action. He's planning on just cuffing her and getting a pizza or 5.
all of a sudden, a guy who looks like rian comes bolting in the door, rian runs to face him. she, a character skilled at hiding and hitting from the shadows. waits till rian and a self that looks like rian and shares his skills fight at full force, two high level martial artists clash and punishing strikes are given and received. rian wins but is winded, he doesnt notice her, but she figures out from the dialogue who the real deal is, and drops alterna rian, who as the fight has shown, is weaker than hero rian, and then bolts. rian's still heroic, she just did what stalkers do and hit a weakened prey from out of nowhere, and rian, was still collecting his breath after 2 fights. Even a dragon is only human. and she got away with a cheap shot.

one side funny note for me is that the idea that all these clones are running around is that many of my characters are mystical robotic or unique creatures that would seem to be too strange to be cloned by normal procedures. i know that in making those characters i hopped over canon and cant complain, but cloning an angel or a robot seems kinda funny from my perspective.

some have been perfect, some i have disliked, occasionally i want a more "good" rogue,but i cant fault them, i am aware that they are playing against type with the anti-villains. or a less overall the job was well done. of course, now that adds another thing that they need to keep updating, because they were well done, we want more.

eh, kotor 2 had a lot going for it, id call it mechanically superior to 1, but lucasarts pushed it out before it was ready.
