    Veterans Day

    Quote:
    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.

    — Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)

  2. But. . .But. . .But they have shinney new badges, and pie.

    And not just any old pie, but pie with bacon!

  6. Thanks for the positive reviews of "City of the Apes".
    Yes there is a semi-Easter Egg in the address clue "7337 Dodge Ave." from the first mission.

    The second mission in the abandoned lab, is located in Crey's Folley. Crey's Folley neighborhood was known as Venice before the invasion. The Dodge was the leader of historical Venice Italy. So when thinking of a street name, I just thought of something that would relate to Venice, Italy.

    The NPCs are also Easter eggs. Dr. Simian's assistant is Kym Hunter. The actress who played Zira in the Planet of the Apes movies was Kim Hunter.
    Also Rod MacDowall is a variation of Roddy McDowall who played Cornelius in the films. That was just kind of thrown in for fans of the movies.

    Very nice show. I am currently running "Coldest of Wars" on my midlevel tank.
  7. Ok BAB now get working on the 500 other things on the "Wouldn't It Be Great If. . " list from Hero-Con.
  8. Well all I can say is they had better give me a free respec with this! I mean I want to "slot my stride" with all purples!

    Funny thing is that we almost ran past you to get to the "hula hoop side mission". Good thing I had team recall.

    It also means that missions will be in their set neighborhood. Thus you won't be sent to a Hellions run part of Perez park on a Skulls mission.

    Hero-Con 09

    Ok here are my photos.

    Ny's SG base.

    No I was not on the "executive suite floors" I was segregated to the 8th floor! Now I know how Leonardo DiCaprio felt in Titantic.

    Hummm looks like Ny's base is somewhere in the Hollows.

    Well; I see a freeway, so I must have a base teleporter to Skyway.

    Did you check out Wentworth's?

    I have a feeling with all this good stuff, that we just might pull off crashing the real life A/H server.
  18. Try a different MMO. I bounce between Lord of the Rings Online and City of Heroes. Both have on average quarterly updates and both run seasonal events.
    There is no harm in trying out different games.
