This is not a site I would have expected to find anything CoH related, and yet I did:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Do-I-A...ing&id=5286590

Has anyone else had CoH pop up unexpectedly somewhere?

That is the weirdest picture I can imagine for a "why do I feel sick" article. Not a stock photo of someone holding their stomach, but a green costume? Cray-cray.

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!

That's actually the 'avatar' of the article's author, not the usual 'stock photo' thing. I wonder if she's actually a COH player, or if she just found the pic and thought it was cute.

Drag a picture onto the search bar.

It's fun, try it

Hey all, I'd suggest against navigating to the link provided by the OP. For one thing, it's a link to a thinly-veiled sales article written (badly, I must add) by someone selling sham "health analysis" software. For another, the page is heavily laden with ads; the article is obviously just part of a content farm. I'm giving the OP the benefit of a doubt that he or she is being on the level and just happened to run across this site, but to be blunt, someone is making money from ad providers every time someone clicks through this thread to the site, and whoever it is doesn't need encouragement from the CoH community.

DeP's also right in that the image was taken straight from a forum post here. It may be that the OP in DeP's link wrote the sham article, or maybe the person in DeP's link had the image lifted wholesale--that happens a lot.

But at any rate, please do not click the OP's link, and to the OP, I'd highly suggest removing it.

That page also contains a possible clue to the next powerset we might get - Candida Control!

Eco.

I hate those content farm things. They're just obnoxious. I agree it's weird to see an image from CoH pop up in such an odd place, but it's not a place I'd ever want to visit.

They've rolled it out to browsers other than Chrome and their blessed version of Firefox (whichever one that is)? I've never seen the "camera" icon that indicates search-by-image is available in any browser I've tried.

The newest page of "Grim Tales" is called "City of Heroes." Hm.

My local game store still has copies of the GvE edition if that counts?
