    Has anyone tried calling? I'd like to, but can't, since Mom scrutinizes the phone bill.

    You would be correct.

    Extra bonus points for making your faceplanted body sink into the <insert lethal compound here> so you can't be rezzed or recalled or use a wakie inspiration and have to go to the hospital (and start your journey over) instead.
    The whole "trying to run there and then returning from the hospital" used to be called The Hollows.

  7. I use the PageUp key a lot. It's the same as the wheel button, but I find it easier to not change zoom settings by holding PageUp and moving the mouse around.

    With the PHCC/FPFHT, you can get immediate and priority access to state of the art voice recognition systems which will allow you to change your 4XP/SRSLY settings without the inconvenience of having to find an appropriate representative.

    Or something.
    OOOOOO, YES!

    I'm also still lobbying for the Rune of Warding. (Rune of Warding is to NuclearToast as animated hair is to Golden Girl.)

    And don't discount the game wave currently cresting now with Dragon's Age, Borderlands, Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Assassin's Creed 2...

  10. I work at an online gaming company, and acknowledge that consistent, standard notifications for planned outages is Operations 101 material.

    Once you have a consistent format and notification schedule, math (or the lack thereof) is up to the user.

  12. With only about two months until the next veteran rewards are awarded, it's time to reveal what they're going to be. Guesses?

    Pretty much anything, as my purchasing history shows.

  14. My list looks like:

    Retail

    Collector
    City of Heroes® Good Versus Evil Special In-Game Item Pack
    Perk
    Perk

    Apparently, the GVE was the only one accurately defined. Generally sloppy token/offer naming, to be sure.

  17. I didn't read the whole thread, but I agree that negative rep should be inherent, like Stamina.

    Totally true. We need a robot run, a catgirl run, a disaffected loner run, and a sexy hawtness run!

  21. The best thing about this thread is that I got an awesome quote for my sig.

    Before I met her, I had never given anchovies a try. But she seemed to love them. And she loved me. So I thought I should at least sample them once, based on that. Of course, had I been thinking more clearly, I would have realized that she has shown a preference to love things that were terrible. And anchovies, I can assure you, are foul, filthy little spooge sacks that leave a man retching for hours after they are tasted. The slightest touch of this salted strip of fish meat will spoil the flavor of an entire slice of pizza, and possibly the one next to it as well. They are absolutely that bad. I **** you not. A crime against pizza.

    Nonetheless, she loves them. And I love her. And so, when we order out for pizza, whatever else we decide on, I get her a bin of the loathsome things, on the side. She can thus apply them however she likes to her portion, without rendering my meal inedible. Truly, ours is a love that will echo through the ages.
    Dinner AND a show with a moral to teach. I love you guys.

    This is the main problem I see. I mean, it's cool to see all those codes on my account page, but it'd be nice to know =what= "perk" I purchased or applied on such-and-such date.
