GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

They'll get right on it just as soon as they get around to do forum maintenance.

You've got a video card with 256MB of RAM.
Most of your settings look to be "Recommended" with some tweaks.
First, try turning Ambient Occlusion to "OFF"
If that doesn't help, drop the Graphics Quality slider back to "Performance". -
You are on your way to destruction!

Quote:Honestly, in the English language, while exacting usage can denote erudition, it's largely unimportant outside of scholarly, legal, professional and diplomatic venues.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
I can see why some people feel that way. Although I do think it's funny that "really" also often means "extremely" and not actually "real."
EDIT: Apparently someone has a blog devoted to tracking "misuse" of the word. Viewable here: http://literally.barelyfitz.com/page/2/
Counterpoints from a dictionary writer in an article for Slate magazine are here: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/t...e_to_hate.html
In social mediums (conversation, informal e-mails, web boards for happy-fun pretendy-time games, etc), so long as the basic message is conveyed, exacting usage is unimportant. -

ITT: Another self-righteous putz who uses obscure, ancient meanings of words instead of embracing the ever-evolving English language like everyone else does.
I'm sorry, but I really hate your kind. You come off as such a snooty ***** it makes me want to drop-kick you.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, hits them over the head and rifles through their pockets for loose grammar. -

What he's referring to is a group of players getting together to grief people. STO had that problem right in the beginning with this same report spammer feature. Now it was never confirmed or denied but some people believed it was a group of players from EVE that were doing the griefing and abusing the auto silence feature with phony petitions. It took GM intervention to stop the abuse.
Exactly. While I don't REALLY expect it to be a problem with our community, the potential for abuse is horrendous. -

Dimension Shift will stay as it is for a reason, and the reason Arbiter Hawk gave is that it is great in PVP.

One of the goofy side-effects of spending a year over in Korea with the Army was that I understood ALL of the references in M-A-S-H afterward. -

I got kicked from a STF cause i didn't want to keep fighting the ship for merits while Reculuse and his towers get back to full health.
My friend and SG mate quit cause i got kicked, 30 minutes later we both got the reward pop up, and he even got the badge, i had the badge already. -

So I used my monthly allotment points to buy the German Shepard pet. For 100 points out of pocket, it's pure fun to watch, adorable as hell, and complements several toons quite nicely - except when they fight...
Knowing it's a non-combat pet, and remembering how everyone said the Devs should have the dog provide a player buff, I'm here to heartily disagree. That dog should be my all-new, purely optional level 1/inherent brawl power. When I dont use the power, normal non-combat animations should apply. But when I hit brawl, that dog should be gnawing on my target's ankle instead of looking for a belly rub on the sidelines.
Seriously, how hard would it be to make the dog an alternate brawl ability? I'm sure it'd sell a lot more...

We only had you for two years, yet you reached heights of storytelling many series will never taste.
Wherever you wind up, Laura, we wish you only the best. You're one of Marvel's most original and compelling characters, and maybe they'll give you your own book again soon. You certainly deserve it.

My trip to the comic shop last week? $0.00 (not including gas).
Looking like I'm going to be seeing more and more of those. -

Quote:Well. It also happened on my bubbler for her "go to" mission.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Its a long-time bug for radio/paper missions that are held when a new issue comes out. The generic spawn for that mission gets replaced by some other generic spawn.
Count yourself lucky that the new spawn is the same level as the old. Some people have walked into missions with foes 20 levels higher (because the new faction's minimum spawnage level is much higher than the actual mission).
And I'd be VERY surprised if I walked into a mission with L70 turrets.

Quote:Agreed. I'm completely sick of trials and trials and trials and trials. I can't wait for the solo incarnate content so I never have to touch a ******* trial again unless I'm feeling masochistic.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
Yay, more Trials with too many gimmicks and insta-death scenarios... screw those characters that are built/are supposed to be survivable. Maybe they play better in game, but that sure seems to be an apt description again. Didn't they learn anything from Keyes and UGT?
