    Agreed.

    Not necessarily, as trends have been showing that the developed world shows negative population growth (because the infant mortality rate is practically nil and thus there's less reason to have oodles and oodles of babies). It's really only the countries like India and China where population growth remains a constant positive. As stated earlier, its believed that our population will reach a plateau at 9 billion people, and considering people will be living longer and feel even less need to have children than they do now, we'll watch that drop after a few decades or centuries, depending how effective and widespread the longevity treatments become.

    How do you smoke makeup?

    In addition to my aforementioned (and much-maligned) suggestion, I also think part if it is the game's "T for Teen" rating. I'm not sure smoking plays nicely with a "Teen" rating in all places among all those polled anymore.
    Well, in that case, they should remove the cigar option for males.

  7. I think Vanden was making some kind of attempt at humor, as though men who hid their flesh behind protective metal were pansies while the crazy Scots and Germans that ran at their enemies buck naked while their skin is painted green or black respectively were "real men."
  8. Granted, you have to take everything Je_saist says with a grain of salt. As a matter of fact, an entire salt mine can cover all the hot air he posts here.
  9. Scythus was my first; he's a Dark/Dark corruptor. Naturally, I still play him quite regularly and he was my second 50 (a Mercs/Pain mastermind by the name of Mistress Bloodwrath who's another favorite of mine beat him to 50 by a couple of weeks).

    I wouldn't know what thread that was, so no. I didn't even know that there was a contest.

  12. Hm... I could have sworn I've already seen that martial arts billboard before.
  13. I was wondering when someone else was going to notice that. And as we all know from a certain villain Strike Force arc, Ray is Positron.
  14. That billboard isn't new. I've seen that there since I've started playing the game.
  15. Are you sure that you just didn't notice it before?

    I've personally soloed a LOT of the content that was "designed only for teams!"

    The Lambda trial has already been duoed.

    The completely ARBITRARY minimum number of players to start a trial has absolutely nothing to do with how "epic" and encounter turns out to be.

    Being forced to wait around X amount of time for a trial to start isn't epic.
    Being forced to listen to the inane ramblings of other players isn't epic.
    Waltzing through a trial without any effort isn't epic.

    This is epic:


    And that's soloing.
    That's total Squirrel Girl levels of awesome.

    Huh... I need to take another look at the tailor next time I make a new costume on a costume slot. Because the thing is, I've had the same problem and I'm half certain there were a couple of characters that didn't have anything cape-like present and yet the trenchcoats (and even the magic bolero) weren't showing.
  20. Kudos for the use of that Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri soundclip near the end. Somebody's in the Punishment Sphere tonight....
  21. Except... I've never seen a giant tree in Bloody Bay. (I have seen a giant tree in Nerva Archipelago on Thorn Isle, though. )
