Of the titles, I love "The Dark Side of a Perfect World" and "Just Another Day in Utopia". You may guess that I like irony.

Also: "Run Resistance, Run. Pretty awesome name.

They definitely evoke a lot of emotions. I love the thunderous power in each track that is either malevolent or triumphant, but always unmistakably violent.

You and I have gone back and forth on this for literally about a year. We've never seen each other's point of view thoroughly, and we're likely never going to do so. As such, I refuse to answer this question directly.

You're missing my point. I'm not saying "Don't be right". The point is that this whole thing is a complicated issue. You think you're right. They think they're right. Let the conversation be more than you driving a rail spike through the heads of everyone that disagrees.

Heck, you don't think I disagree with a lot of the people here? But that's the point. This thread is about experiencing the vast breadth of opinions on this topic. If someone made a thread called "Who is more virtuous: The Loyalists or The Resistance?", you'd be right at home.

Even if I and everyone else conceived that you were right, it still wouldn't be the point. The point is that you intentionally drag down any thread that has opinions with which you don't agree. It's oppressive and the antitheses of conversation.

You think that I'm not saying your view point is legitimate. It is, but you don't want anyone else comfortable in expressing theirs.

What's more: You rarely discuss. You more tell people they are wrong and then sit back down in your chair, throwing peanuts, popcorn, and soda bottles at them while you yell out insults in an attempt to drown out their part on stage.

Please stop. I don't know any other way to say this.

Edit: You've gone from "Playfully representing your view" to "Aggressively attacking, insulting, and flaming anyone that doesn't agree with you". It's far past endearing; it's explicitly unhealthy for forum discussion.

More grimacing! MORE GRIMACING!

I'm seeing a lot of people say this. I find that fascinating.

... I suddenly wonder what the gender constructs are in Praetoria. Do they have the same roles and ideals that we do in that regard? Where are they on racial, religious, and sexual lifestyles?

Hm. If this is addressed, I know how I'm going to play Going Rogue: Analyzing the crap outta this shiz.

... With your knowledge of canon. Why can't you just always post sexy pictures of your alter ego? You say these words and do these talkings...

You don't have super powers, but I've altered scenarios slightly: Everyone has skills. Keep in mind that, in The Dark Knight, the second most dangerous person was Lau. He wasn't a terrorist, nor did he have powers. He was just a really good accountant. And he was the heart of the criminal underworld.

In my altered scenario, your Primal earth skill set holds such influence. You can scratch the paint on the car, even if you can't dent or explode it.

If that's not enough power to change your answer, so be it. I just wanted to make sure I had been lucid in my speech.

I didn't say that I'd be that effective! In my mind, though, I aint a grunt. I'm head of the Powers Division.

But, I'd be willing to risk death and doom if my acts of reforming were seen as a crime. I'd just rather work with the red tape than taking a torch to it.

Lawful/Resistance?

Which is why I mutter "Prime Directive" and stumble back to Primal, where things make sense.

In all reality, though, I think that Cole is too close to a perfect government. He has a better thing going than any government I've ever seen. Granted, it's messed up in a lot of truly abhorrent ways. That being said, the Resistance wants to shake the Etch-A-Sketch, and that just doesn't jive with me. I'd rather work with the Loyalists in order to reform the wrong parts of Cole's philosophy.

Then again, the "zero crime" policy he has came at the cost of "Volunteering" all the supers. So, changing policy to allow supers to live freely is arguably removing a very fragile block from the Jenga tower...

... I love you it iz real feelin.

Welcome to City of Heroes! Though, if you have good taste, welcome to City of Villains!

We're excited to have no players, so don't hesitate to ask any questions. There's no shame in being a newb here. Bombard us with "Which key is the 'any' key?"

PM me if you have any issues, and feel free to update us as you learn the game. We'd love to hear opinions, too.

Rock on, Seebs, buddy. You've made the right choice.

I stand by what I said. Real men aren't bothered at all. Real men already vented their frustration days ago be breaking down a redwood tree and using the sonic booming crack fall of the majestic plant to rend sheer the clothes from all beautiful women within a mile, proceeding then to make copious and plethora love to three while the rest prepare pancakes on a stove made of iron hand-bent, not welded. Real men are the Saxton Hale of California.

I, however, continue to troll irrelevant threads that have passed their prime.

I've worked in marketing before. You never commit to anything. If there was a rumor that my company's hamburgers contain the bubonic plague, my statement would be "We have confirmed that there is not the bubonic plague in our hamburgers at this time."

When you don't clarify that you mean "right this damn second", you could accidentally say something that might contradict yourself three years from now... and people will rip off their ears and scream about how this retcons you into being a liar.

In other words, that phrase doesn't bother men in the least.

Thanks for posting.

And good riddance to this horrible idea. Blizzard recoups some points from this blunder.

Sales have dropped significantly over the past year. I don't want to say it's related, because I don't know. Pretending like they didn't, though, is disingenuous.

Wow, so their nuclear option is for you to send an email explaining that you want your account completely deleted?

Oh, I'm not downplaying it. I just wanted to make a snappy quote. This is one of the worst things I can imagine involving recreational use of the internet. It's absolutely awful.
