If you use Yahoo mail, don't bother. Create a Gmail account instead. Their mail server doesn't like Yahoo mail for some reason.
EDIT: Bah. Looks like something in the filters at work was blocking the images in the post. I wasn't even seeing placeholders for the images. That may explain some other wonkiness I've been seeing at work. I'll have to check that at our Tech Dept meeting tomorrow. And technically, that's not shaving his head, it's just a really short haircut. Shaving it would mean no hair left or possibly some stubble that has grown in since last weekend.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Von Krieger, thank you once again for being the textmaster of the CoH UStream!
Greatly appreciated for what you do!
New T9 VIP Rewards means Celestial Armor will be going away soonish...?

Let me just say that I think it is a crying shame that there will not be any slash fiction on the UStreams.
You ever wonder why every Task Force contact/Trainer combo has a Male & Female? You've got Posi/Valkyrie, Synapse/Mynx, Aurora Borealis/Sister Psyche (you know what's up there), Manticore/Swan, Citadel/Luminary (Male/Female robots. Uh huh.), Infernal and... um... the other chick.... I'm probably forgetting some. But the vast majority is a male/female pairing.
....
....
.... don't tell me there isn't anything going on there.

So when will Stalkers get some exclusive powersets and actual ports, then? Cause comparatively, again, they get ****.
Tanker: Martial Arts, Super Reflexes, Street Justice, Titan Weapons
Brute: Broadsword/Katana, Regeneration, Street Justice, Titan Weapons
Scrapper: Axe, Mace, Energy Aura, Street Justice, Titan Weapon
Stalker: Ice Armor, Street Justice
If you can't tell, Stalkers get half of anything and that's BS. Heck, if it was going to be planned not to release TW for Stalkers, they could have pooled the resources that could port *5* sets to Scraps and Brutes and at least give Stalker 1 more proliferation.
Or maybe I'm just annoyed and peeved with the laziness of the devs but they're really going to pump out an exclusive set or two for Stalkers. That would be *smart* vs the stupidity I've seen thus far and in the foreseeable future.

This will end the whole stalker issue, I promise.
When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...

No seriously, I love beta, finding bugs, early looks fun stuff. I just don't like the idea that it is called a 'perk'.
I think I'm just digging myself a deeper hole.

Untill Ninjitsu gets ported (and Scrappers should get it imo) I'd say the Shield vs No Shield arguement is a wash. At least from the point that I'd give up Shield on Scrappers for Ninjitsu on Scrappers personally (but Im sure im in the minority on that one).
And at least Stalkers have an exclusive set. Scrappers don't have a single exclusive set.
In fact, I believe Stalkers and Tankers are the only Melee ATs to have an exclusive set (Ninjitsu and Ice Melee)...sooo...can Scrappers and Brutes have an exclusive set too?
They said looking into it, how about you give them a few months after it's released before saying "Yeah soon means two years"

Thanks again for the recap!
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
Thanks for the highlights, Von Krieger!

Ya...I'm pretty sure that's the point.

1. Stating grievances with the direction of the game and people reading it while...
2. Not being off topic.
Any new issue threads involving add-ons to Brutes/Tankers/Scrappers I find will get the same reminder until Stalkers receive just as much attention as them.

Dev1: We've made a new set for melee!
Dev2: Can all melee ATs use it?
Dev1: Well, let's see! *examines all 4 melee ATs* No.
Dev2: Which ones can't use it?
Dev1: Stalkers. I tried but just couldn't make it work at this time. Possibly never.
Dev2: Well, at least we gave all the melee ATs are attention with this set. Let's make it happen!

Titan Weapons for Stalkers is not off the table completely, but it's not being ported to Stalkers at this point.
"We've actually been talking about things we can do. Everyone loves brain in a jar."
They've talked about a fish or a little man in the jar.
"We've had some outstanding costumes with it. The staff favorite has been the sentient water cooler."
There is no NDA on the VIP Beta.
milkweasel: Q: Did the sentient water cooler have hot/cold nipple taps?

Zwill: "There wasn't much on this Ustream. There probably won't be any summary of it."
Too late.
Zwill: "Oh Von Krieger, why would you subject people to this?"
I honestly don't know. :-P
