It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call... Home.

Cake over pie.
Brain cake, that is.

Unfortunately downtime is just a fact of life, but in the scheme of things 2hrs beats the 8 and 12hr monsters we've had lately, and I'd much prefer my downtime at this time of the afternoon (my time) compared to running it into late evening/night.

Saying that I was just tampering with a cossie so was a little surprised when I got kicked (I hadn't seen the announcement), I'm hoping the save I made just before took.

This most recent and dramatic tuneup has, for the first time, really put it on par with Paragon City and Praetoria. It has gone from coming across as a bit of an afterthought to a robust and dynamic equal-partner. The game play and narrative strikes me as being much more engaging. Great job!

But, yeah, thinking back on things...I remember, two years ago, excited and anxious to be entering my first zone away from Atlas Park...I must have fumbled around and backed up and walked forward and clicked around in front of me for some pathetic five minutes before I thought to click on the swat officer.

This is a symptom of a larger, much more deeply-ingrained problem: In City of Heroes, evil is equated to Arachnos and good with Longbow. You're not evil or a villain, you're "with Arachnos." Naturally, we need a clash of evil vs. good, so in this game that translates to a clash between Arachnos and Longbow, hence the idea that all villains hate Longbow all the time and want nothing more than to blow up an infinite umber of Longbow bases.

Until we divorce "evil" from "Arachnos" and "good" from "Longbow," we're always going to be stuck being lumped with one, blowing up bases of the other.
