I'd say there are more precedents for dual blade-wielding comic book characters than for clawed ones or hammer users. I can't think of any mace-users offhand, but there might be one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, about that. Other than Wolverine, is there even ONE other character in a comic book anywhere to use claws from the hands? I'm seriously asking here, because I don't know of any.

X-23, but she's a Marvel created Wolvie clone.

And Faust.

And that Night Stick one was downright offensive.

[/ QUOTE ]

I laughed. Lately, it's the cops that are offending me daily.

On topic, yes, there were a lot of write in votes for a bo staff/quarterstaff. It would be a incredible to have that in game.

mmmm grits.... grits, eggs, sausage, bacon and grape jelly all mixed up in a bowl...

<slobbers on self>

However, seriously Bill, McGriddles? Ugh... The person who thought up making a sandwich with pancakes and syrup needs to be shot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ohhh I love em, regardless of the disgust and pain.

Once every other month or so I'll go get a couple.

I'm happy that I became domesticated and treat my body well with proper meals now.

The old days of doublemeat, double cheese, bacon grease burgers every day followed by 8-12 jack and cokes a night were ... bad for me.

That's an interesting point and why "Supersize Me" while entertaining was BS. There's nothing wrong with having a big plate of greasy food....occassionally. It has no business being part of a normal healthy diet, but sometimes it's ok.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's why supersize me WASN'T BS. There are people that live like that, man. It may not be MCDs everyday, but it's the same garbage equivalent every day.

[ QUOTE ]
because anything else hinges on the frequency one eats at McDonald's and not simply a single visit.

Dude... when was the last time you hammered down two sausage, egg and cheese McGriddles and a coke?

It's so good goin down... but 20 minutes later you feel like you had ingested a 5th of drano with some shots of paint thinner.

I like 1 on 1 PvP when it's AT versus the same AT.

<---- Has never gotten a regener past 22.

Am I even allowed in here?

John_Roy,

Did I fail? Is the big guy in the new X-Force Warpath? Ahh, I see, he changed his name but was Thunderbird for a spell.

Cool.

Current Thunderbird
Nightcrawler
Deadpool


[/ QUOTE ]

Nightcrawler: uses his fists and feet
Thunderbird: dead
Deadpool: who? some noob? Oh, the guy with the machine gun

But there are more heroes that use machine guns then dual blades..

[/ QUOTE ]

Nightcrawler actually used three blades on many occasions. Read his own limited series sometime.

Your reading comprehension sucks. I said CURRENT Thunderbird. The original's little brother, apparently.

Deadpool has been around for years.

Your comic knowledge sucks, and I haven't bought a single comic in well over 15 years.

You lose.

And since you comic knowledge sucks, we can now ignore your OP for being baseless and devoid of fact.

And to continue my persistent disagreement, willpower is just as cool as dual blades in my mind.

That's why the aforementioned dual-bladin scrapper and brute will both have willpower as well.

Current Thunderbird
Nightcrawler
Deadpool

Just off the top of my head.

And now add to the list:

Me, on a scrapper and a brute as of I-11.

Sucks to be you.

I think I can explain WHY they do this:

OEMs like Dell, Compaq, HP and the like.

Laptop ships with X card and Y driver. That's what was tested with everything else on the lappy, that's what the OEM supports.

If issues arise with that driver version, the OEM Product Group gathers the info and works with the card vendor on a new driver that fixes said issue. Then the OEM rewraps the driver in their installer, tests further, then releases it.

Now the card vendor comes out with another driver, adds some functionality, works great on almost all the laptops out there, but conflicts with some bit of bloatware that the system OEM slapped on there.

Customers load the new driver, complain to Dell, and Dell says, Too bad, so sad, not supported.

So to avoid it, the OEMs get into agreements with the card vendors to not let folks install non OEM-branded drivers.

So the first question is: What the heck gives them the right to lstop me from installing updated drivers that fix issues I have NOW? I don't give a flip about their support. I worked for their support back in the day. I know it sucks.

And two: Why isn't it the same for desktops?

Indeed. It states clearly that Jenkins was captured, and that no cure was found for the plague. You get the cure in the last mission in Outbreak, and you rescue Jenkins in the last mission in Breakout.

This is Paragon... without _you_.

Hmmm, that's interesting, WC.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, the issue of the newspaper is Issue 11. Nice.

I am further venturing that there is something to taking a level 50 character and being able to play the game all over again with that character.

[/ QUOTE ]

huh... Certainly not unheard of in gaming... Start on easy mode, finish, unlock epic mode sort of thing...

Crisis on Infinite Servers!

Rularuu the Ravager regains his power and threatens to destroy the Multiverse. Only the brave actions of heroes from every server can stop him!

In the end, Synapse and Miss Liberty die, and all servers become one... and DC prepares a lawsuit.

[/ QUOTE ]

heh.. good one.

Check out the new Issue 11 Wallpaper here!

Just had to get in one last major tease, didn't ya??!

Best way to take out the UI is to record your session using the game's DEMORECORD session, then use FRAPS to record the playback of said session.

Looking good, though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sadly, there's a lot of freaky junk happening with demo playbacks right now. Dead enemies left standing there, wings not appearing, strange movement freakouts, being just a few examples.

I'll agree on Celtic_Bolt... but is that CuppaJo at point?

Nice piece.

I'm assuming this is going to be more Tabula Rasa centric... although Diffuser showing up is going to make things interesting.

Agreed... but research is getting freaky. I'm finding refs to this link as far back as the 7.4s so far.

They will not work on any ATI Mobility card prior to the Mobility Radeon 9500.

Yea... this link needs more publicity.

Bravo, Demon_Soldier! I gotta ask, how'd you come across that?

I just installed them on my Dell Inspiron 9400 without issue. Now I don't know if that's because I had used the Mobility Modder previously for the 7.8s or not, but later I'll completely wipe all references to ATI and try again.

Other folks with ATI mobile cards in your laptops, please give these a try.

Ok, yanked them, rebooted, deleted the c:\ati directory, ran this mobility installer again, chose a non-standard install directory, again, they isntalled without issue.

I wonder if this is new. I wonder if ATI finally got enough complaints from laptop users that they said fark ioff to the OEM vendors.

Doing some research.

I think I'll save my energy for Saturday only. But I'll send what I got to feed your karma for Friday night. Hope everyone has a blast!

Bored in Austin? Park the rental on 6th street and take a walk. You can easily burn a few hours.

Ayyyeeee... but then ye'll still be needin to convert from yon html to the bbc code... arrrrr.

Me hats tipped to the Mantid.

Hmm.. coursein a GFP in notepad might make that job a bit easier than swabbin a deck.
