  1. lets just drop it. Some celebrity used the word on the internet and now people who don't even know the guy in real life feel they have to defend themselves against being perceived as racist. I should have keep me mouth shut since all I did was add fuel to the fire.

    Gangsta rap and the internet have given that word to much power.
  2. Panthro has some awesome sideburns

    80s Cheetara was hotter.

    Looking forward to this.
  3. did you use the cohupdater to load the game or did you bypass the updater and use cityofheroes.exe to load the game? If you bypass the updater you won't get a pre-download when logging out of the game.
  4. Was this guy(gal) skyping with other people on the team?

    I haven't updated the AE arc. AE is a great way to get costumes that don't use weapons into a demofile so i can use them, but costumes that do use weapons are harder to work with when using the AE.

    I've found that when it comes to weapon users it's easier for me to just load the costume onto one of my own characters and then do a demorecord.

    I've also taken a tiny whiny break from this project since work has gotten a bit busier this month. I got some cool ideas for Sag and the Gem twins in the pipe though.

    Once I wrap this project up, I wanna track down married couples in this game and do some duet shots.
  6. I got creeped out when the second one was getting in the box and the first one had her foot sticking out and that foot was bobbing up and down to the beat.

    The whole performance had me thinking of this

  7. Before A-merits were introduced Ouroboros was the greatest friend of the solo only crowd. How else were you earning merits at a speed that could even compare to teaming and running task forces. I'm sure the gut response is you could earn merits doing story arcs normally, but once you completed a story arc you were locked out of it and couldn't repeat it.

    Think about it, without Ouro taking your toon from 1 to 50 without teaming meant you were looking at a finite number of merits. Ouro allowed all those who for whatever reason didn't/couldn't team have access to same rewards teamers running taskforces were getting. I don't remember the exact numbers but I believe a bluesider was looking at a maximum of 20 random rolls.

    My rouges can earn two notice of the wells a week and my heroes can only earn one.

    I just checked Black Scorpions announcement and the answer is no.

  10. does anyone have a link to the Firefly universe map so I can compare the two?
  11. you can find your host file here

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

    open the host file in notepad and for each website you want to block you can just add anther line like the one below

    Code:
    127.0.0.1    www.google.com
    just replace the google address with the address of the website you want to block.

    127.0.0.1 is an address that will route back to the computer you are using. So each time you would try to go to google.com it would look on your computer for the google website.

  13. here's an example of how to block myspace

    http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com...space-com.html

    it doesn't list where to find the Hosts file in vista or win7 but it looks like those OSs have hosts files.

    You'll need to gather a list of IP addresses for the websites you want blocked.
    I'm not sure of the fastest way to do that but you can do it one website at a time here

    So now I'm looking for a way to block the places she goes, in the hopes that she'll get frustrated with my computer "not working" and go back to her own. I know it's easy to do with apps if you use firefox, but i'm not a big fan of Firefox, want to stick to IE. Is there some way to do it?
    what operating system are you using?

    I have used the hosts file to block websites in the past.

    Are those two going to actually fight in the movie?

    You know what the best part of the two greatest female popstars from the 80s fighting actually is?

    They might accidently kiss.

    It's one person who didn't listen to you. I remember the power descriptions you're talking about. I'm not able to remember the names correctly, (they might now longer be in the Live version of the game).

    If anyone can remember the power desciptions I'll take screengrabs and post them. I just remember the one that granted -regen but I remember there being at least one more.

    No one asked if he would rather be called one or another, and he would never be called either in this country. If he wants to comment about censorship sure, but this comment was just another symptom of Ebert deciding some where along the way that he was the authority on just about everything.
    I don't give two farts about this guy, but I had never heard of him using the Nword before, but 2 minutes on Google revealed that statement came out a discussion about Mark Twain. You could have mentioned that in your original statement, instead of just hanging words out there and painting him as a racist.

    Race relations in this country aren't great. Being insensitive is not the same as being racist. The constant push in this country to define these two separate things as the same, is not helping race relations at all.
  18. It sounds like some people might not know how to pull these up in the game.

    Its similar to typing [rain of fire] in game.

    [Lore Protection]
    [Lore Evasion]
    [Lore Power]

    is how you can get these to show in game.

    [Lore Doom]
    [Lore Retcon]
    don't work.
  19. That reminds me

    http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...machine/091110

    there's a dude who legally changed his name to War Machine and became a pr0n star.
  20. The only War Machine arc in comics that I really liked, or remember is in Iron Man Tony was dead and Rodney took over running Stark Enterprises. I liked it because Rodney got to be his own character and not Stark's buddy/body guard.

    When we get a War Machine movie I hope that the War Machine armor and Rhodney get the chance to be shown outside of Tony's shadow.
  21. Well found might be the wrong word. [lore power] was being passed around global chat, I took a screen grab and found it on my computer and found a way to upload the photo to the internet and show it to you.


    I've also taken a bunch of screengrabs of the Judgement Incanate slot info you can find in the game.
