It took me some time to notice, cause it creeped me out for no good reason, that zone, but Dark Astoria is the only zone with no background music. Its dead quiet.

Also, Cashoo....check your dA notes, I sent you one a while back (Eris-kai)

Unfortunately for his sanity, Mod08 did not fully read the details before agreeing to attend a 'grueling 4 hour Hell in a Cell event' on Virtue

Jae is pretty much saves everyone, its gotten her into trouble a lot

Terra sees no reason to break up gang fights, territory wars if they aren't involving innocents, etc, and really only saves people from their own stupidly if someone is looking. She will always save innocents and people who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time

I don't think anyone else has any particular hangups

Cleaned drivers out, new 196 drivers, forced a file verify with CoH....still crashing. Brilliant ideas wanted :7

In case people like to see the end results of these things:

Yeah, I know it was fixed, its been fine up until 3 weeks ago when it started happening again....I'll try cleaning and reinstalling drivers again though, maybe it will help

Well, here we are after crashing repeatedly with the old black screen video issue again....last time this happened upgrading the Nvidia drivers did the trick, not so much this time.....

Updated to 195 package from 180something - still crashing
Updated Vista to SP2 and pulled any outstanding patches/hotfixes - still crashing, lost audio
Updated Realtek drivers - Got sound back, still crashing

So, here's CoH Helper output, any suggestions would be appreciated, didn't want to go messing with the registry when the driver set referenced in the stick was 190 in case something changed.

Members of the Local Ice Controllers Union gathered today to protest over the Chalet's definition of 'daylight working hours' and the decision to allow fire imps on the slopes

...total aside, I complete read that as 'Cool looking piece, fool' which instantly got heard in my head as said by Mr. T...

I bought a 'print' in the form of a puzzle, mostly because it was a puzzle with cool art then :7 I have never sold anything.

99% of the time digital artists work in RGB(Red, Green, Blue, like the colors in your TV), and the few that work in CMYK(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key(Black), like your printer cartridge) do exports in RGB because that's what its going to be looked at with. If you ever open a file that seems mostly black with lots of yellow and purple? CMYK Traditional graphics arts/media artists use CMYK because that's how the print houses need them.

Definitely awesome, turned out great!

Okay, that was hilarious, I'm not even on Champion, just clicked the topic out of curiousity, so glad I did

As for T'He O'Cho, somewhere down on the bottom of this page I know there's a handful of songs from The Rikti Singers to help you out in your office efforts.

Yay for Dev Choice awards!
Also, go play Astoria in D Minor too Caem. With the lights on. And company might be good too. Very very good, but eyah....creepy o.o

Ah, heh, well awesome There is certainly no less with the full refs, just stupid amounts of more, mainly of various costumes. Looking awesome so far btw on the arts, I love seeing all sorts of different styles.

Okay, original post edited...its your fault I made Photoshop cry with excessive screenshots to compile into 3 super OCD full ref sheets (okay, so its just a convenient excuse to organize >.>)

Heck of a goal there

EDIT - Tada, the new improved, Kai OCD Reference Sheet category. I'll be adding some sheets for characters from That Other Superhero Game, and of course you are welcome to draw Kai.

Arbiter Fabulous (along with DJ Shecky) is one of the winners of the 6 service awards they gave out at HeroCon that came with a free year of game for helping foster community, fun, and enjoyment in City of Heroes.

Hmm...well I'm a fan of showing other sides of characters, so not so much with the standard poses, but I also don't know how much background the artist is likely to want to do, so not too detailed either

Fenian - Cleaning off graffiti from a Neighborhood Watch sign

Alpha - In civvies, looking at a wall/album/newspaper clipping of the mall incident, maybe with a computer or some piece of evidence, if you want to pay for two characters, the suit off to one side

Caemgen - Doing something completely ordinary, like buying groceries or reading the paper with coffee at a street cafe.

Oh wow, Merry Christmas to me! Thank you so much Temperus....sorry to hear about your graphics card though, hopefully a new one for the holidays in your future!

Always up for offering characters for practice for artists Noted!

Poor Virtue....yeah, totally didn't make it on, stupid being responsible and doing chores before company comes into town :7 Maybe next week or so!

Cool deal, drama is waaaay overated I have been on a bit of a break recently, but hoping to be on tomorrow for Chalet Interlude, I'll see who I can find to invite an alt or two!

A couple of rooms are built out decor wise, and everything should be unlocked for porters, I can't honestly remember which ones are active at the moment, but more are easily added.

I'm not angling for anything here, just seems a bit of a waste of resources right now, and could save hassle getting stuff like Ouro crystal and whatnot with prestige if people want it. If we're going to get all pissy about existing SG and throwing words like 'veto' around though, maybe its best to start new
