Hyperstrike

Sorry, but this is a fairly old trope.

Go watch Metropolis.

I have a couple craftsmen, and most of the alts I know I'm not going to be playing for a little bit are involved in lowball bidding.

Come to Chicago. They'll deep fry anything here. Twinkies, Snickers bars, etc. Hell, they even deep fry ice cream.

Basically anything from Intel should be considered "not supported".

If it runs? Hey! Good for you! But the Intel GPUs aren't gaming chips. They're meant for desktop functionality and not much more.

Dude. America's Funniest Home Videos is done. Get over it.

Yeah. My parents moved down to Florida and they're bemoaning the lack of decent pizza places, though my mom's favorite beef place ships nationally.

Enemies hate being set on fire. Who knew?

1. If you're looking to gain XP at a faster rate, you can do three things.
   1. Form a group. Individual XP per-kill goes down, but the increased number of enemies and the bonus for teaming makes up for that.
   2. Crank up your difficulty. If you hit one of the Hero Corps guys floating around in the various zones, you can adjust your difficulty in several ways:
      1. Level relational to yourself. -2 to +4
      2. Number of enemies (effectively treating you as a team). x0 to x8
      3. Fight bosses or not
      4. Fight AVs or not.
   3. A combination of the two (teaming with bumped difficulty).
2. Your best bet for finding teams are in the various channels specific to your server. Unfortunately I'm not a Triumph regular, so I'm unable to give you the specific names of various channels. Others who follow up should be able to do this though.
3. Also, look on the forums here for various events (ship raids, Hamidon raids, open TF/Trial events, etc).
4. At level 5, the differences in XP earnings between various enemy factions is miniscule. Just do your mission arcs, as you get XP and inf bonuses at the completion of every mission, as well as a big completion bonus at the end of an arc. Both of these will help you level faster than simply street-sweeping will, as you'll outlevel street mobs too fast and have to range further to try to find ones that'll award decent XP.

I'm fairly sure the devs and community managers DO give a crap about Mac users.

This is, unfortunately, a NORMAL problem when you outsource a "port" to a third-party company. Paragon's completely at the mercy of Transgaming. And if Transgaming just sits on their thumbs, all Paragon can do is wring their hands.

I remember reading an article about 10 years ago or so (maybe longer) about some Neapolitan pizza group that'd come through Chicago. These are the guys insisting that if pizza isn't like 12 inches across and completely made from scratch and baked in a brick oven, it doesn't qualify as "pizza".

One of them go a hold of Chicago Deep Dish. He described it as "An earthquake in my mouth." And not in a good way.

Welcome to the party pal!

Are you sporting any Performance Shifter +End procs?

Okay, for an ITF that's relatively speedy.

For a duo-run, that's OMGWTFBBQ!

Grats!

The dislike stems mostly from the fact that Unstoppable is an appropriate response in a VERY tiny number of corner-cases. The rest of the time the power is either useless or a net negative. Unstoppable is only marginally more useful to a well built Inv/SS tanker than Hand Clap is.

For a Tier9 power that's pitiful.

Well, a few children should "fill you out".

Now where has that problem come up before?

Well, that's one of the reasons White Castle burgers are called "sliders".

I always laugh at people who ask for "Chicago Style" pizza when they come into town.

There's two types. The deep-dish which most of you bloody furriners (basically anyone not born and bred in the Chicago area) think of. Plus there's the crispy thin crust Even in the burbs it's hard to find thin crust Chicago Style that's any good.

And a lot of the best places for it are these little hole-in-the-wall joints.

Then you have your standard thick-crust pizza.

Then you have atrocities like California Pizza Kitchen *MMPHH!*
Sorry just threw up in my mouth a little...*MMPHH!* Make that a LOT.
If that's what they're calling pizza in the Cali, I never, EVER want to go back there.

Newsflash: Yet another California Pizza Kitchen has gone up in a ball of nuclear flame. This is the thirteenth one this evening...

Why not?

As I live in Chicago, I have had both Culvers and Steak & Shake. The burgers aren't bad. They're not great either (a bit too greasy).

Now pizza or Italian Beef...

Think that's bad? Wait till the slider works its way to the other end of my digestive tract.

CS grenades? PFFT! Kid stuff!
