    I know I'm not the only one from New Hampshire. Where are you, Granite Staters? 603 represent.

    Ladybugs bite. They bite hard. In a side by side with red (not fire) ants, I'd rather be bitten by the ant. Spring is a bad time of year to be around them. They get snotty and mean.
    Only Mormon ladybugs bite.

    If all your characters were deleted, your veteran status, everything (even forum posts), and you had to start from scratch, would you still continue to play this game, or would it be too much of a setback?
    You mean the chance to create ANOTHER 700 alts?

    How do you think I'm going to vote on that?

    Appreciate the effort, but definitely feed the family first *then* quench our thirst for knowledge.

    I, too, would like to know about the plans (if any) for the moonbase or space station.

    Also, what was the deal with Battalion? Backstory, artwork, etc.

    Were there plans to actually build new things where the various workers have been toiling for years? (Such as by the north tram in Steel.)

    How were the Menders and Ouroborus going to shake out?

    -- Was Mender Silos "our" Lord nemesis, or was he from another Earth?

    I only have one request:

    Tell me everything that was being planned.

    Cool, it works! Nine people already.

    Under "View" you can choose "Show List" to see who's added themselves.

    Edit: This is a world-wide map, just FYI.

    Here's hoping this works. This is an interactive map where you can place your location. I've never tried it before, so it's an experiment.

    On the upper left it says "Additions" where you can choose a colored marker. I added mine in Blue, for hero.

    Thanks for the help, you guys. I haven't done any demorecording since 2005. Just saying that stuns me. Time flies.

    Speaking of flying clocks, I played my first video game 38 years ago. Pong at The Village Inn Pizza in Dayton, Ohio. I wish I had a photo of THAT.

    Airhead has used shots from the costume creator to combine his characters before I told him of the wonders of demoedit. You can see the excellent combos he's made in the "Favorite Costume" thread. Those mostly require a lot of patience. AE is a nice end-run, but it's sometimes hard to get decent group shots. I actually had two more of my toons in that AE mission, but I never got a decent shot with them all together.

    I really like the font you used for Mother Sun. What is that? (I'm kind of a font junkie.) Also, "Notta Planet" is funny. But sad. I'm actually wearing my "Pluto ~ 1930-2006 ~ Revolve in Peace" t-shirt.

    We were married August 6th, 2004, on Ithaca Island, surrounded by family and friends. I cherish the time I spent with her in this online world, and I have and always remain faithful to my first and foremost partner. I'll get the costume code out of the AE mission I made in tribute to her and post it here as soon as I can.

    Thank you, Michelle. Your videos have been amazing over the years, and I appreciate you taking the time to do at least one more for our fallen brothers and sisters.
    I am terribly sorry for your loss. That's heartbreaking.

    Yeah, I re-created a number of my characters to be allies in an AE mission. It was a blast fighting alongside my other toons.

    I played this mission on Justice with my DB/WP guy Capt. Blood. Left to right is Industrielle (Guardian), Tomi Gunn (Virtue), Air Force (Liberty) and Ironik (Guardian).



    I haven't done any demoediting in years, but basically it was just trial-and-error to place things properly. Push the camera coordinates a little here, see how it looks, add in another character over there, see how it looks. It was a bit too clunky for me to really enjoy mastering it, but now I wish I had.

    A couple simple shots I made way back in 2005 using Zloth's program:

    Planetside 2, maybe, but I didn't really care for the first one. It's not an MMO, really, just a persistent FPS. For FPS fun, I think Tribes Ascension looks better.

    All of them, apparently. Snowed on Virtue, too.

    I was on as Monster Child.

    Amazing, Shazzie. It is odd which threads were saved and which weren't.

    I was thinking the same thing about that song. I need some depth of field, though.

    On the one hand, I can't blame you. CoH is one of my favorites. But on the other, you've gotta give a little sometimes.
    No, he's right. CO *is* ugly. Beyond ugly, it's fugly. It's also insulting with its terrible attempts at comedy, with an entire game written by people who think superheroes and comic books are idiotic. CoH does show its age, but it's a decent-looking game.

    I'll second that SW:TOR is boring. It's just incredibly tedious. Just thinking about it fills me with ennui.

    And Fantasy-themed games just don't excite me. It just feels like well-chewed meat. A Fantasy novel has to be really good to interest me at all, and so far no Fantasy game I've found rises to the level of even the most mediocre Fantasy novel.

    Thanks so much for providing us with Virtueverse. One of my greatest enjoyments from the community, no doubt.
    Seconded.

    I've loved Virtueverse from the start; when I was younger I eagerly bought the Handbook of the Marvel Universe because I loved reading stuff like that.

    I only have a couple of my characters up there. I start reading other people's bios and before I know it I've lost two hours. I feel like Matthew Broderick's character in WarGames: "I never got around to it, okay? I always thought there was gonna be plenty of time!"

    Oh my god. The first vid uses DoF as a rack focus. (The Penny Yin stuff starting at 1:19.)

    Please let us have that. Please oh please.

    Here's the oldest one of mine. I wonder if someone archived the beta forums? Those would be an interesting read.

    Actually my oldest post (that I actually wrote) was in tpull's Journal of a First-Time MMO Player thread, dated March of '05. Over seven years ago. Yowza.

    Here be the thread, it's a good read: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...112810&page=20
    I'd forgotten about that thread, even though I made Tpull's icon for him.

    So again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    I was going through my Facebook and came across this:



    As I said, I'm grateful for your work
    So it was YOUR fault!

    While you're at it, can you use that wishing power so that we each get a million bucks?

    And wish the game back into existence?
