    I missed it 'cause my stupid internet was down for just over 12 hours (down at 9am cst till around 9:30pm cst). I mean I wouldn't have bid on anything (no money ) but I would have been there.

    So that's why my ISP killed my connection before I even got home last night, so it'd be done with 10 instead of 11. Gratz.

    I still have my macros if MP doesn't show.

    Don't know WHAT THE HELL happened; I apparently lost my connection to everything NCSoft related and a handful of other, random sites off and on last night. Game would tell me there were no mapservers and/or can't connect to login server. I can understand losing connection to mapservers, sure, but being told there were none? Don't you lie to me, machine!
    I basically had the same thing happen to me 1 hour in... well ok so my ISP crapped out and didn't come back up till after Iso's was over. Thanks for giving me the target level though!

    Reminds me of Halloween '91 here in the midwest. We had a foot of snow then too.

    You mean it's finally out and I now have to wait even longer to get at it! Oh well, maybe I'll just go back to sleep then since it's still before 6am here.

    Just to add to the thread log. Billed on the 20th, waited till yesterday (24th) to start questioning because 23rd is when I'd tend to get the old vet reward badges awarded still no points or token. I havn't done a petition yet but that's only because 1, it's the weekend, and 2, I'll wait and see what they tell Caulderone.

    I'll join with something, just don't know what yet. Depends how soon a MIDS update is pushed out.

    I can foresee at least a few grav/time's just for themes sake. grav/time, space/time. yeah, we'll see at least a few theme toons.

    Edit I should say that I'm looking at time for a MM (bot specifically) as an alternative to FF but I need to play with the numbers, see if I can soft cap the bots or not. Looking at it mainly 'cause I need a 2nd MM and since they dropped group fly's -acc I'm thinking "death from above".

    the earliest ive seen speculated is "before the halloween event"

    as MG says were not open beta yet so very unlikely it will be ready in the next 4 weeks
    It almost HAS to be before the Halloween event. They won't release an issue during an event and it pretty much goes from Halloween to Winter event. If it's not out before the winter event then they miss they're "later this year" projection.

    My newest Scrapper, a Claws/Invuln, has worked through the Striga story arcs and is all set to run through Moonfire and Hess. I'm going to start forming for these Saturday night around 7 PM Central, 8 PM Eastern. Get your Atlas Badge! Bring your silver bullets and garlic! Bring your rent-a-godzillas to take on giant robots (even if the giant robot is not activated in the task force)!

    Let me know if you want in an I'll save you a spot.
    I'd join ya GP but thats the time I start sitting in the Hive and inviting people to Hami while I eat supper / catch up on some tv.

    Strange. All those two word character names look as though they're two characters instead of one. Also strange that other than Esteela all my Iso toons have had actual words for names... I'll have to remedy that next run.

    I hadn't thought along those lines yet. That just might make me reroll my bot/ff MM.

    I'll be there, new system up and running. Trying to get CoH to work properly now.

    See that's the thing though. I have 2 desktops. My current gaming machine ('bout 5 years old) and my old gaming machine (that I do everything else on that's about 10 years old now). So basically it's 2k every 5 years. Spread out like that it's not so bad.

    P.S. As of right now everything but the case is scheduled to ship out via UPS tonight which means I'll get it Tuesdayish. Still hoping the case will ship out tonight, it's going out of CA so they still have daylight over there.

It's not just about getting exactly what you want in your system for usually a better price than what the computer manufacturers can get you. It's also NOT having what you don't want in the system - all that stupid trial software, shareware, support software crap you get with a PC from, say, Dell. I like running with a clean lean and mean system.

    I wish it was just as easy to build your own laptop.
    Below is the link to my first ground up build I've ever done. (To qualify that I've done EVERYTHING to build a system before when the mobo on my last store bought system fried, only thing I didn't do there is re-install the OS.) I'm actually in the process of trying to get the order confirmed so it'll be here for my 5 day Memorial Day weekend, problems keep cropping up (stupid MasterCard SecureCard password, stupid land line telephone company, stupid... I'll stop there).

    I was going to make it tonight but now I won't. Very strong line of thunderstorms moving through (in fact the rain just now started) and I don't want to chance my computers. Next week I'll be there (though now that I've said it watch my ISP will be down or something.)

    So as not to confuse everyone come the next run. I will NOT be on Vanum (my defender and the toon that usually forms the league 'cause I have no life). I will instead be on one of my Scrappers, Nesickt. So if you show up and get a league invite from Nesickt, that's me!

    Happy Birthday!

    Also, I think MMP is hoping Des is being prophetic and that FMP will be there too.
