    Fire Whips, Electric, Frosty Whips (mmm! ; '), Lethal, psi, DARK! OMG!

    The whip was like 1 of only 3 good things in Champions Online. I can live without it (as my refusal to go near CO testifies to) but we're teetering upon a mastermind/dual pistol situation here.....!
  5. On an old MUD I used to play, Overdrive (overdrive.overdrivemud.net 5195), there was a "morph" monster that was doppleganger -- it was a fun battle when it mirrored all of your abilities, scaling with level, and gave up some sweet armor too but it got abused and removed from the game.

    Anyway, looking forward to that kind of mirror-match again.
  6. The whip looks amazing!
  7. Any big events* coming up or did come up this past week that you can use to feel out if she's hanging out with someone?


    *Hamidon and Ship raids don't count as Events during the wooing phase.
  8. Congratulations! Natural origin I suppose? ( ' ;

    I have a 20ish stalker on virtue called Blood Elf Bandit, working on recreating some of the epic armors ( ' ;

    And then I got my cat, Miko (short for Mikoyan-Gurevich), who is a Russian Blue. Great cat, practically a dog, because he plays "tag", comes when I call him, is insanely athletic (my little Russian Rocket) and other than a penchant for assuming the "king of the castle role" role in my home, seems to be on the up and up.

    So when you ask, "Which is it? Cats or dogs?" I say, "Yes."

    BTW: I get a lot of PMs every day, and though I don't respond to them all, I have them forwarded to my email inbox so I read every single one of them. So if anyone feels like I'm ignoring them, please accept my apologies. I do read, I do respond and/or pass on information about anything that sounds like it needs it (like PMs about this thread, for example) to the people best able to solve the problem/issue/request/concern/praise, etc.

    I was thinking it, so I thought I'd throw it out there.

    P.S. Thanks for the PM, Celidya!

    What's the russia connection with references to MiGs and Pavel Bure? ( ' :

    Perhaps a new PEAT, Praetorian Epic Archtype....not the moss.
  13. I should be able to make it, perhaps be a few minutes late if there's another team starting a bit later than 10sharp.

    Zolena Wren, 35 fire/fire blaster, have it unlocked so can lead too.
  14. I congratulate people in a relatively timely manner but don't scarfice an attack to do it. Plus, it gets funny when a whole bunch of people do it at the same time, even if it's during a sewer run (and it's easy to do "grats x3").

    Thankfully when people hit 50 you don't have to congratulate them anymore, unless they score a cool recipe! ( ' ;

    Edit: I also like to cg people for /deathblow'ing a GM, AV or the main boss of a mission. *shrug* It's fun!

    Now, if Nvidia wants to expose Apex through OpenCL so that the technology works on video cards without an Nvidia branding, then it might be worth the time for our developers to take a look at it.
    You raise a good point, especially with ATI starting to gain ground in the STEAM hardware survey. poop. / ' :
  16. Dimension Door. I'm down with it.
  17. So, are the mods working under the assumption that if something shows up in another game, then it must be copyrighted? Are they doing lookups on the US copyright database (http://www.copyright.gov/)?

    "Diablo" shows up 512 times..."Izual" doesn't.... I'm just wondering what the guidelines are.
  18. Besides what has been mentioned, I can only imagine it will do wonders for red-side population.

    I suppose I'll take a pair of heels just in case, though I'll feel utterly ridiculous wearing them with jeans and a t-shirt.
    This was going back a bit, just after the place reverted to Jillians (went from Jillians -> dave and busters -> to Jillians). Perhaps they've loosened up on it since. As a woman, you're likely be okay but they are a bit wonky with guys and boots though -- a set of skechers non-lace-up boots, can get you shut out (speaking from personal experience).
  20. Some advice on the dresscode for the evening -- avoid boots or sneakers as they may very well not let you in.

  23. Au contraire! The French eat frogs and snails, making them ultra-low maintenance, and therefore, ideal pawns in a Nemesis plot. Plus, having some sort of oppositional disorder cannot justify just how ridiculously often they disagree with the global community. They're a Nemesis plot.


    Fortunately animated hair isn't a nemesis plot.
