My Summer Is Over

Sigh. I go back to work this week, which means my CoH daily playing is officially over. It'll be back to once or twice a week for an hour or two here and there for the duration. So I'm depressed. On the other hand, it's making me think back to all the fun I had this summer.

*Running the new Reichsman TF with a lopsided team of six, and beating the pants off it. You all rocked.

*Finding out that in the posted pix of some of the fastest TF/SF completions on Protector, I was in most of them, if not all of them. Darkest Lament and Spinedancer, FTW!

*The worst TF I've ever been on, a Citadel run with the worst tank and scrapper I've ever seen, which had the people I told about it on TS howling with laughter. If it hadnt been for Jan and Sooner on that same TF, I'd have pulled my hair out. Yet somehow, we succeeded!

*Some hilarious TSpeak conversations, and a couple not-so-hilarious but still fun conversations where the participants almost needed to be separated.

*All my new projects, including my new tank and dominator. Sadly, my new brute never made it out of the teens.

What are the best memories that you had this summer? I'll (for once) list my toon names that I played this summer (I have several that never came out of the box this summer), in case any of them involved yours truly.
Witch, lvl 50 Ice/Ice Blaster
Overpass, lvl 50 Stone/Fire Tank
Spinedancer, lvl 50 Dk/Dk Corr
Darkest Lament, lvl 50 Sonic/Ice Corr
Bobsled, lvl 50 Kin/Ice Def
U-295, lvl 50 Earth/Rad 'Troller
Disco Belle, lvl 50 Illusion/Sonic 'Troller
Crimson Rhino, lvl 43 Inv/Mace Tank
Jupiter's Vengeance, lvl 42 Grav/Elec Dom

The rest of my toons probably didn't run more than a mish or two this summer. So - What did you see that you liked these months (even if it didn't include me)?

So, are you implying that the education of our nation's youth is somehow more important than your COH enjoyment?

Hey, I said I have to go back, not that I wanted to.

Summer's over? I'm in Florida where Summer isn't over until late October.

The Teamsters taking off running...and occasionally smacking into a wall because we're laughing so hard.

My enthusiasm for the game being rekindled by teaching it to my "sidekick", Unholy.

Random 3 am respec trials...many thanks to Elasi, Hyperstrike, and anyone else who has suffered through these with us...lol.

Task Force Tuesdays! I love you people more every week!

The Shadow Shard Task Force Marathon. The team was AWESOME and I'm seriously considering doing it again...AND...I'm not the only one! xD

Oh, and getting Snap Play to level 50 the day I15 came out...that was kinda cool too, but it pales in comparison the the great people I've been hanging out with for the past few months.


City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

It was a very fun summer, and I'm glad we finally got your *** on TS.

Being unemployed, summer is bittersweet like lemonade, but hangin' out in CoH is certainly a good alternative to crappy television. Aside from the weekly RtRs that I attend almost religiously, and the Hami raids I've snuck into (my firsts evars, and awesome to boot!) and the almost-daily TF running... How could I possibly choose a highlight? It's all good. It's all been great. And y'all are the best people I know and like to hang out with. It is sad that summer must end, but that's ok, because as long as my account is activate... I'll keep having fun in your place. =D

erm *cough*

It's been fun TFing with ya (a handful of times, even!) and I hope you (at least marginally) enjoy your non-summer activities. Visit us often. =)

Ugh, San Diego summer hasn't really even started getting HOT. It's been hotter than typical the last month, but our HOT season is October/november when it becomes so dry... oi.

I like the fall. I wish fall was more ... like... it was around the country, instead of here lol.

I should team more. I'd have more fun stories to share too :/ I really should get that db/wp up to a more useful 45 to participate in RtR.


Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

Writing from waterlogged Montreal, Quebec, Canada: Summer is over ? What summer ?

I even heard 2 weather commentators on TV declaring that "Summer will start on August 11th" (today), simply because we're supposed ("supposed" ahem) to get 7 days without rain.

Dismal, simply dismal...
