And also, framing the argument in terms of debt? Really? You just waived your right to be taken seriously in my book.

Well, yeah. What else is there? The annoyance of having to go to the hospital and back to the mission door?

You gamers sure do have low tolerances for differing opinions. You should stop trying to take things around here so seriously.

EDIT: Which is very ironic, because you said you weren't going to take me seriously anymore! Like... you did before? I've never seen you here before. So... yeah!

Tin foil is not enough to adequately shield your brain from EM emissions. For one, it's way too thin. For another, it still leaves your brain exposed to emissions coming from underneath you.

Well, look at that Sam, you're wrong again. Excuse me for not wanting to bake my brain.

By the way, I don't own a car and I have a hatred for GPS anyway since it's nobody's business where I drive. Oh yeah, and no wireless mouse or keyboard either.
So what I gather from the Scientific American article (and I don't trust a damn thing that comes out of the WHO/UN to begin with when it has anything to do with big American industries) is that -if- any of that is even remotely true I would have to duct-tape an active cellphone to my head for several hours a day for TEN years and by age SIXTY I would have a whopping 0.6% chance of getting a brain tumor.

I'll keep my cellphone. It plays Pac-Man.

- Crey in Founders' Falls have Nemesis dialogue and Nemesis snipers backing them up.

- Nemesis in PI have Crey snipers backing them up rather than Nemesis snipers.

- Seeing costume pieces that clip badly against the body of the model, when the number one excuse we're given for not allowing certain costume combos is 'clipping issues'.

- Fire effects on Superspeed. I'd have more SS character if I could ditch the 'burning' it creates. (Some day, via pool customization. *sigh*)

- Likewise, the bright white glow of Temp Invulnerability in the Blaster epic pool ruins the power for me since it can't fit in with the other effects. Please make Pool and Epic customization happen SOON.

- At 40, you can get many missions in PI that instruction you to fight Carnines *in* Peregrine island.. They are 3 possible spawn locations in the 'yellow' area of the zone where Carnies appear at 44 or below: On the two freight ships, under a wooden roof, and behind a hotel. These are still pretty suicidal to level 40s.

- The game has opaque tights, fishnets, but no sheer hosiery, despite other sheer pieces in the creator*

Hey, you're the one who got snippy with me for disagreeing with you, but somehow I'm the one who's intolerant of dissent? Buddy, pick one side of the argument and stick with it.

Good for you to clear that up!
Yes, exactly the same when you die to a dead mob's DoT attack.

The Gravity set power Propel......love how it looks......but it misses 50% of the time...regardless of how many ACC IOs/global ACC buffs/popping a yellow....it matters not.....Propel misses 50% of the time...... it is a game law.

Contacts that start a story arc whether I take the first mission from them or not.... Amanda Loumis I'm looking at you.

Contacts that are annoyingly time consuming to get too.....Amanda!

Contacts that are annoyingly hard to get too.....giving you a story arc hunt in another zone for a first mission...then requiring you to get all the way back to that contact prior to handing out a phone number..... AMANDA!

New contacts that give you a mission to see a new contact......instead of giving you a mission.

Janet Kellum's story arc....go to a laboratory...defeat 400 Crey tanks in a massive map....then.... go to a laboratory.. defeat 400 Crey tanks in a massive map....then......go to a laboratory and defeat 400 Crey tanks in a massive map......then.... repeat that 40 more times!!! AAAAARRRGHHHH!

Contacts that give you a new contact who will instruct you in how to get to these awesome new PvP zones....you know.....Bloody Bay..... Siren's Call...... those NEW zones I have never been too and would never have known about.

FedEx missions....."Superman...... I need this pizza deliveried to my son's sixth grade graduation party..... ASAP...can you do it?" Really.....REALLY?!?!

(Also, given that you approach the game from a "what would I do in this situation?" angle, it worries me slightly that you'd just dismiss an entire culture as "primitive" like that.)
They sold their souls to demons in order to wipe out the Mu to the last man, woman, and child. That's fairly uncivilized and primitive, I'd say.

This one drives me nuts. I'd like white t-shirts with pictures on them on some of my characters, which only works with the Tops With Skin tee pattern, but that ends up looking so wrong that I've never stuck with it.


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

That "Fire Blast" is a single-target power, and "Fire Ball" is a targeted AOE. Seems to me like those are backwards.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I think Fireball might be influenced by the D&D fireball which was very much an AoE attack since it was so ginormously huge.

This is all if I remember my lore right...

Actually, if they HAD just done that in the beginning, they wouldn't be in their current situation, but because they tried to back out of it at the last minute (not wanting to kill the women and children) the demons (who had actually been counting on this) basically told them that their souls would never be allowed ANY rest until EVERYONE of Mu blood was dead, and by this point, Mu blood got spread across the planet to the point where Lore says that about 1 in every ten (or was it 9 in every 10?) magic origin heroes can trace their bloodlines to Mu. (they at least gave a nice escape clause, and never once, do the the CoT seem to come after your character with the claims you're Mu, even if you accept and even agree to this part of the lore)
So, the CoT's got a lot of their work cut out for them, and basically any good that once was left in them has long since vanished. (Considering they seem to summon more demons, this likely digs them deeper into debt with them)

That's how civilized nations deal with each other. I believe the term is "Mutually Assured Destruction."

It may be mad, but it ain't *primitive*.
