For some time, I've been banding around that I won a City of Heroes DVD collector's edition, and praising a number of people for giving it to me. I didn't buy it, it was a gift. I never quite remembered who it was that gave me the, and I know for a fact that I've misattributed it to a number of people over the years. Well, I took the time to look through my old PMs (and boy, was that a weird experience). For what it's worth, I want to give credit to the person who gave me the DVD edition just because I'd said I didn't want it:

LiquidX

I apologise for forgetting your kindness and generosity, and I'm sorry I didn't take the time to get my facts straight earlier. Specifically, what I still remember is the reasoning behind this gift, and it wasn't because I'm special:

Beyond this, I have recently mentioned Nuclear Toast donating something to me, and this is still true, I'd just misremembered what that was. Back when we were still hearing about the Praetorian Clockwork and had only bad camcorder images of what they looked like, a Clockwork full transformation power existed, given out at a con, I believe. Nuclear Toast had a spare copy which he gave me, such that I was able to get a good look at what the Clockwork looked like for myself, on my own computer, long before they showed up in the game. For this, I am very grateful because that set is awesome, even to this day.

Sorry if this sounds pointless, I just really wanted to give credit to a couple of general people who took money out of their own pockets to get things that they later handed to me and asked for nothing in return. I've been disrespectful in the past forgetting that kindness, and I hope this does at least a little something towards fixing this.

In a related story, I am also taking donations. I want to point out I am just as bad, if not worse, about misposting who gives me stuff or just not saying thank you at all.

I always remember who gives me stuff.

...you know, they could probably get away with selling the account perks of the DVD collectors edition on the Market, could they not? And possibly temporarily re-releasing the "Hero Gear" kit? Please? 8-t <--(pouty face w/ puppy eyes)

If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.

I wouldn't mind it, myself, but I know it's a controversial subject. Really, I just felt bad about not giving proper respect to Liquid and NT for their generosity and I wanted to say something about it.

This is a very nice thing, good on you for being thankful!

I looked online earlier today to see how much it was going for, since it would be nice to have (I personally wanted the travel power but the other goodies would be nice for novelty sake). I'm probably going to have to stay reserved to have missed out on it until [controversial subject] ever happens.

I used to do the same thing. Then Big Lots ran out. I was picking them up in bunches at $2 each before they vanished.
