  1. They need a "Plastic Hula Girl" base item.
    This way I can brush through the base and set the entire planet rocking off its axis...

    Well, they talked about The Corsair in one episode. And how they always got the same tattoo regardless of what form they took after regeneration.

    And I quote "He was a bad girl!"

    Then there's Curse of the Fatal Death, a Doctor Who send-up. Where The Doctor eventually regenerated into Joanna Lumley.

    Written by none other than...Steven Moffat.

    So the basic "idea" is there.

    Yeah, Jim's motto is "Is it female?"

    Kinda like Jack's motto is "How long will it take me to resurrect after I shag it?"
  7. From my first MM to hit 50.
    Or HIS mental image of what it was like.



    Then I filmed his demons' ACTUAL reaction.

    Only XP, Inf and Prestige.
  9. I want compensation for the XP I missed out on because of this!

    I figure $1 per XP point should be sufficient!

    GIMME GIMME GIMME!

    Because the accident still goes on YOUR record. And the fact that you live in such a "dangerous" neighborhood that someone hit-and-runs you is a qualification for jacking up your insurance rates.

    Villains' blood.

    Because I used the table to bludgeon them to death.

    See! You can still see the blood spatters even after I hosed it down.
    And if you find a couple loose teeth embedded in it, don't worry. The owners won't be needing them anymore.

    In that case, I take umbrage at this outrageous early cut-off! Umbrage, I say!
    If you're in Indiana, just head down to your local patch of ditch-weed and smoke up a bit. Mellow is only a few puffs away.

    Half the fun of beating on the movie is the ludicrous signature commercial inserts. They practically were Verhoven's signature in films for a while.

    Because I will corner you in the parking lot of an apartment complex and get your license plate number.

    Don't **** with me ever.

    Period.

    Sorry. My mom says I'm not allowed to date until I'm 70.

  17. Got a Shield/SS tank from 17 to 24.
    My SOA went from 40 to 43.
    My Sonic/Traps Corr went from 33 to 35.
    My Fire/Rad Corr from 17 to 25.
    My Fire/Time Controller from 19 to 20.
    On another server I got a Widow from 13 to 27 then realized I had exactly NO plans on how to kit her out for the L24 respec.
    Participated in Tanker Tuesday Tour to Defiant and took a tank from 14 to 22.

    So about 43 levels total this weekend.

    I also took a complete tour of the Nemesis Automaton mission (the Boomtown water map) I keep around for farming up Tips on two occasions doing a bit of quid pro quo for friends. I'm assured the XP was awesome for all involved.
  18. Pretty much yeah.
    That and it's actually tougher to write a decent OGL driver, because you can't fall back on all the black-box "cheats" in the OS the way DX does.

    Nah. I use that when smacking down Warwolves. It'd be too confusing to use it on a pet.

    Win 7 32bit
    Intel 9550 processor
    4 gigs of RAM

    Nvidia GTX560 with latest drivers.

    CoH is the ~only game that gives me problems.

    WoW, DCU, Crysis2... None of them have issues.

    Frankly the "every 30 minute crashing" is rapidly convincing me to drop CoX again..this time for good.

    Update: 20 more minutes of play and it crashes again. The game is unplayable in this state.

    Actually it's your computer having problems with CoX.
    All those other games are DirectX games. They utilize the card and drivers differently than CoH and OpenGL does.

    Hit the "Asking for Help" link in my sig. Provide the information that HOWTO shows you how to collect. That'll give us an idea what's going on.

    It's possible your settings are up so high you're exceeding the 32-bit thread memory ceiling or pushing it into territory where most 32-bit apps get flaky (usually above 1.5GB).

    Probably. OGL places higher demands on hardware (and drivers) than DirectX does.
  22. Would you like to know more?

    ;-)
  23. You could be, possibly, running across rendering holes in the map.
    If so, you could temporarily be "seeing" (and thus rendering) the structures of everything visible through the hole.

    Another possibility is that you're entering an area with lots of objects (enemies) spawned.

    Right now the Clockwork graveyard in Kings Row (the place where all the Paladins end up after spawning) is such a place due to the bug causing them to endlessly spawn sprockets.

    Hope that answers your question!

    Really?
    When the fail becomes too much, there is:

  25. On the tank you have Rage 5-slotted with Gaussians.

    On the Brute, you have Rage 6-slotted, providing a 1.25% defense bonus to all Typed defense and 2.5% defense bonus to all Positional defense.

    That and Maneuvers is slotted out differently.

    Moreover, even with identical slotting, the defense quantities in a Brute's powers is inherently lower than an otherwise identical tank.
