Why did I hear that in Gallaxhar's voice?

They didn't use it because the US Government already went there with the Wiki-leaks Task Force.
Yes, someone in the Government either has a sense of humor, or more likely, is woefully out of touch with life in general.

Back before CoV, I remember taking one of my 50s into Galaxy City and managed to slide a Hellion past Back Alley Brawler. That was cool. Haven't tried it since then. Been entertaining myself knocking arrogant CoT mages off of roofs.

That sounds l a lit like Northeastern Oklahoma. a lot of lakes around so it gets rather humid during the summer. And almost as hot as SoCal. Feels much worse because of the humidity though. I don't like the dry heat because it doesn't feel as hot and I get dehydrated. Then I get all dizzy and sick and all that. Miss a day of work while I rest and rehydrate.

Have a safe and warm-ish (compared to the arctic circle) day.

That is the kind of whiplash season change that I'm used to.
Was born in Ok, and lived there for near on 30 years.
I dislike the one season we have here in southern California.
Wait, to be fair to the locals that haven't lived anywhere else, There are 2 seasons in SoCal.
Summer, and that one week it rained in December where the temps got down to the lower 40s.

I much prefer Oklahoma's seasons. Winter, Tornado, Summer, lesser Tornado.

No, it's Weird Science.

That was my reaction as well.
Now, I'll have to find another set to put into Acid Mortar.
I was looking forward to using the chance for energy damage though.
Alas, 'tis not to be.

Not every rock-star can cook a perfect meal every day.
Dogs are there just to deflate our egos.

Just yesterday, I tried to slot the 5th IO from Positron's Blast into Acid Mortar. I wasn't allowed to put it in there with the other 4 that have been slotted for a long time. THAT is Outragous. It's a travesty. It's probably going to make me burn a respec to take the other 4 out of Acid Mortar...eventually.

Unfortunately, some people are resistant to the secondary effects of Gobstoppers and their gobs remain unstopped. A few are even immune to the bonding power of super glue and Krazy glue.

I'll do it for you.

Maybe I should start renting out Sig space...

Rolling dice in the real world I tend to get the dramatically appropriate die roll.
Whether that is a good or a bad die roll, is debatable.
What ever it is, it is dramatic.

If I'm not mistaken, the post I had responded to was talking about the PCing of some of Mark Twain's books.
I was not mistaken. So, yes, my reply did have something to do with the post I had responded to.

I do know what I am talking about. Whether you share the same opinion is totally up to you. Quite frankly, I don't care if you do or not.

But, you are probably correct that this, most likely, isn't the place to discuss it.

One out of three.

My reply was going to be something similar to this.
The RNG can have no limit to how much it hates you (or anyone for that matter) on any given day.

Which does nothing to disprove that Political Correctness is rapidly outliving it's usefulness.
Much like Unions and Affirmative Action.
They were helpful concepts, until taken too far.

There was/is a handicapped person that plays that game and his ship is totally voice commanded, that includes steering. I didn't go quite that far myself though.

I did notice that I couldn't use the voice command software with CoH/V/P.
Of course, that could be (and most likely is) an ID10T error on my part.

No thought required for that response, I see.

Patience is a virtue.
Not everyone is that virtuous.

When the invention system first came out and the Rocket-boot recipe was available, the animation of the boots, when the fly power was active, didn't mesh with location of the boots themselves, except for the default size scale. The more extreme the size was from the middle, the farther off the animations were. That might be part of the problem with backpack style rockets.

Just a guess though.

One weakness I have found with pole-weapons is that if the opponent does manage to get in close enough, the pole-weapon user is at a serious disadvantage. The Pole-weapon tends to get in the way, more than keeping the opponent away.

Granted, I haven't had the years of experience that you have had, but I have had some experience both using pole-weapons and fighting against them.

The John Wayne Rooster Cogburn or the Jeff Bridges Rooster Cogburn?

Granted, they both have an eye patch, but only one of them is from Earth Prime. The other one is from Earth remake.

That's about the same level of talent I have. Glad I'm not alone.
For some reason, the lady with more clothes looks like a Star Sapphire. Even down to the chest symbol.

You can do the "right thing" and seriously dislike the-poster-boy-for-doing-the-"right thing".

Personally, I don't think both halves of the Resistance are heroes. The Crusaders don't seem very heroic to me. The Wardens, on the other hand, do.

Same goes for the Power and Responsibility halves for the Loyalists. Do you uphold the government for personal power, or in an attempt to help the citizens?

The way I see it, The Resistance shows the extremes of the Hero/Villain scale. Wardens are Heroes, Crusaders are villains. The Loyalists are the gray area; Vigilantes and Rogues. That's just my personal opinion on the matter.

Now, as a loyalist, you could easily justify becoming a Hero. You'll uphold the laws of the government despite that guy that looks just like Emperor Cole being such a public figure for good.

In case you didn't know, many heroes don't really like Marcus Cole. Regardless of what dimension he comes from. He's too preachy and arrogant.

I understand what you are saying.

I still think that anyone who wants to change a classic work of literature to be "less offensive" to people who are "sensitive" to certain words being used are idiots. Also, why I don't care for language filters all that much. Certain things, I can understand. But, to pander to everyone's wishes will lead to only 3 words being left uncensored. People need to grow a thicker skin and choose to not be offended at everything.

If I don't like the "language" being used in a book or a movie, then I won't read that book or watch that movie. That is why I only saw the first movie in the Blade trilogy.

yes, I have definite opinions about Political correctness. I'm sure you can tell which way they lean.

No, I am not saying that bullying, be it verbal, physical, or over the internet, is OK. It isn't. But, bullying won't stop until the bullied stands up to the bully, and says, "I choose to not be the victim. You can't offend me unless I choose to be offended."*

Now, I will bother you no more with my opinions on the matter and let you go back to enjoying your afternoon (or midnight, or morning) read.
