  1. I know that there are some new characters in there. The very thought of a certain one is the only reason I want to level up Blueside.

    I'll continue being cryptic until a screenshot is posted, but I'll probably have to be the one to do it.

    EDIT:
    Longer explanation. So the weekly sg that I run on Victory finished the last redside run and restarted this week; all new characters leveling up together and then going blue side when we out level the new zone. Several teams, going strong, having fun, then BAM.
    "Sorry, this mission is SINGLE PLAYER ONLY." What the heck, man. Drop it... And the next one from the contact is SINGLE PLAYER ONLY. Arrrrrggghhhhh. Nooooooo.

    Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?
    I haven't got to one yet, but my partner and I are exploring Praetoria together. The idea of separating in an MMO for a mission rather irks me. Perhaps I'll see something in those missions that blows me away and makes me regret my knee-jerk reaction. In the meantime, however, I'm with you on this.
  3. Guide to disable it.

    Short version: Places is an automatically enabled feature that tracks your IP/GPS/Flow of Life Mana to figure out exactly where you are. It then makes this information available to a number of people on your Facebook page. It's become 4Sqaure without asking you.

    ------

    If this is a concern to you, please disable. If not, keep it and rock out with your bad, bad self. For me personally, this is a huge concern. You all know certain aspects of my life are closely guarded secrets and any program that compromises them without my permission "For my convenience" is unsettling. I can't imagine anyone really truly caring whether I log into Facebook from work or my home.

    Also, I think that 4Sqaure is a pile of narcissistic techno-bile. Since I've also tweeted that, however, the irony is too heavy around my ankles. It shackles me and keeps me from marching on their "social" networks.

    I understand your woes. You can only carry 100 pounds back to the wagon.

    Are we bordering on starting an art thread?

    This me ignoring you and carrying on.

    That art is gorgeous and I love it in ways I can't easily explain. Rarely do I decorate my walls, but I want these on them. I admire unique projects like this, especially as popular continues to drive towards the narrow minded and myopic idea that looking "the most life-like" is best. In years, "good graphics" will be outdated. But people don't talk about Majora's Mask's presentation anymore: They discuss Wind Waker.

    Admiration.

  9. I think this is less "Could Batman be jailed" and more "Would Durakken be a good lawyer". I'm still interested in watching it play out.
  10. Better yet, it tells you the exact odds of you winning the contest once you enter. Currently, I'm at 1 out of 1439. Not bad odds for a free sweepstakes.

    And I'm just adorable.
  12. What can one do on the Mac? I play on both.
  13. It's rather lazy to draw an outline of something and then call it art. I can use the "Auto-Fill" option on MS Paint and call it art, then.

    If it isn't on the right side of the uncanny valley, it isn't art.

    This puts me over the moon. I'm going to have to go check out the new "gender equal" policies of certain villainous groups.

    I disagree. It denies you 6 levels of content as well as many social functions. That, and you lose your character after 14 days of an MMO.

    No, no this is great logic and had a strong hand in my partner go from "Learning about Marcian's interest" to "I must own this game for myself NAO!"

    Her copy of the Going Rogue: Complete Edition is en route.

    Thanks,
    Consider my previous post sated and slaked like a wandering desert nomad falling into a clear water pool.
  19. I greatly appreciate the efforts to fix this. While I hate to be "That" person, can we maybe get an extension on our free transfer goodies by a day? Yes, I'm rearranging that much over that long a period of time that I am asking for this.

    No real worries if you say no. Just, if that's something you're considering, add a tally mark next to it.

    Great job, everyone!

    Am I missing something, or are these emotes being repackaged as stances? What's the mechanical difference?

    "Why, Marcian!? Why, then do you insist on liking Cloak and Dagger!?"

    "Because this conversation has been to amuse me until your Engineer stepped away from the briefcase. Which is now."

  23. The movie's amazing. Better than people expect. The writing's much better than I was expecting. Judging by reactions, I suspect I'll be sorting this into my rant about people who assume a product has no story.

    Loved it. Loved it loved it loved it.
