And LOTS of testing. Did I mention chimps or any assorted animals? -
Quote:Two already seem on their way to it. Continuing to argue this situation seems pointless to me. Celebrate what we have. TheOcho already asked us to post "off-topic" things on other forums, and I intend to do that. In fact, I've been discussing video games and social issues across Paragon Unleashed and my Twitter.Originally Posted by Solos
So have any of those people who said they were going to martyr themselves done so yet?
We joke that these are the Praetorian forums, but the difference is that we have a choice here. If we don't like the rules, don't post. I'm sure many ants "martyr" themselves by biting the feet of lions, to which the lion responds by stepping forward. As is with them will be with anyone that "dramatically uprises" on these forums. It's just a waste of energy when we could just make the choice to be happy.
I adore these forums and have made them a huge component in my life, but this isn't a hill to ban on.

no thanks.
=)
People posting that they won't post has got to be one of the worst sins of forum use. It's right up there with subject lines that are just an emotional response ("OMGAWSH! LOOK AT THIS!" "No way..." "Click here to see what I saw")... -
Quote:We, we, we, this ooks to be a ooming eering terror that urks in the urch, neh? The ycanthropic nature of these forums have unged into its true form: That of the terrifying wof.

No! There is no room for the etter L in the new word order. The etter L has been decared uncean and wi therefore be sent off to etter concentration camp apha immediatey. Further use of the etter L wi be punishabe by pubic fogging.
So weeps the ama.

As a llama, you got a great set of L's.

Quote:Focus on the L, honey.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
Yeah, srsly, who gets elections once a year? I got one almost every morning.
By the way, this is the most activity I've seen on the boards in a long time. This reminds me of the people that protested Sonic the Hedgehog 4 by purchasing as many copies of Sonic 1 (Virtual Console) as possible.

Especially since on the net, the first rule is to assume it's a guy until you get them naked on a webcam.

Quote:No one did. I spit on the final seasons.Originally Posted by BafflingBeerMan
The sad part is, we were probably one of the last places on the Internet that regularly watched and talked about Heroes. Now it is no more and in a few eons, people will back and think no one enjoyed the last 2 or so seasons of Sylar and company.

Quote:They moved them all to the deleted section. Now the ones specifically requested to be saved are being moved back. If a thread's salvation wasn't explicitly requested, it wasn't saved.Originally Posted by BlackArachnia
I see they even nuked threads that fell within the guide lines of their rules.
Everything I just stated has been stated by TheOcho. Cautious on the doom cry, lovely. -

Quote:It's why the old Marcian actually obfuscated his gender. He made a post stating some sexist undertones in a certain product, and multiple people started decrying him as "just some angry butchy lesbian" (and variations on that). It was amazing.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
People actually thought that? Ah well, people want to be manipulated.
Anyway, that was old Marcian. Season 4. The 5th Season Marcian is a llama. -
The Prisoner, entirely out of respect for what defeated Firefly.
-
Crap, now I need a new origin story. Should I have a gender this time around? It may help. Or... oh! Oh! Can we retcon me back to when everyone thought I was a lesbian? Those were fun times. ^_^
So. Many. Possibilities...
I'm a llama. -
Quote:Heh, the German citing Nuremberg... I don't know why. This makes me giggle. (I'm German by heritage, by the by)Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
The Nuremberg trials found otherwise, to point to your beloved rules and laws of man. Obeying an order to commit a crime does not wash one's hands of the responsibility for said crime.

So, iTunes can sort through the music in your computer, figure out what goes together and what doesn't. It then presents this as a series of Mixes that you will, theoretically like.
Would you kindly post a screencap of your Genius Mixes? I think this will be a rather fun way to gain insight into one another and share interests. Enjoy!

Thank you all for this feedback. Given the earliest feedback, I tried to minimize distractions and to play with more purpose. I took a mid-level character I had forgotten and proceeded to guide him through story arcs. The only other thing happening within perception was Doctor Who (which I just recently started). This more deliberate approach to the game was surprisingly rewarding, and I greatly enjoyed it. As such, I suspect I'll pick up where I left off soon.
Again, thank you all. Keep posting your own methods and tips! It's fascinating to see the diversity in approaches.

Quote:I was actually using the form of "City of Heroes" that colloquially means "The entire franchise". I would think you'd know I was a hardcore villain.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
I don't. CoH is awful. CoV is better.
Better Red than dead...blue...something...I'unno.
Anyway, answer for your villainous side, then.

Quote:I don't know how to say this, but... I think at a really rapid pace. If I don't have multiple stimulants up at the same time, I get really uncomfortable. Right now, I have this window, my iTunes, the game I'm designing, Twitter, Facebook, and a separate tab for the other part of the forums I'm exploring.Originally Posted by BigFish
It sounds like you're trying to ignore the game instead of playing it.
While I try to apply the same logic to City of Heroes, I can't help but wonder if you're right; if I'm not just hindering the game for myself (If that is what you were saying...). -
The great thing about an MMO is that there are so many ways to approach the game. Whether you're crafting, leveling up, or just trying out new powers, everyone has their own way of enjoying it.
Lately with me, however, City of Heroes hasn't been clicking. Not a knock against the game; it's just that when I log in, the things I once did aren't fresh right now. I know that they'll return. In the meantime, however...
Give me ideas! How do you play the game? What makes it fun for you? Do you always do radio/newspaper? Do you play it in Windowed Mode while talking to friends? Is Ventrillo involved, or do you full screen it and block out the rest of the world?
What rituals do you follow that are absolutely vital to your having a fun time in the City? Let me know. Thanks!
Oh, and for reference, here are my rituals:- Windowed Mode.
- Hulu/Netflix playing the latest episode of the latest show.
- A messenger device set up (Skype, Facebook, Twitter...)
- Radios/Newspapers only.
- Pick Up Groups. Never preplanned play sessions.
-
My collection of Convention Exclusives is virtually complete, and I aint looking to compromise that just yet.
See ya there.
