  1. I believe the word needed here was:

    Yes.

    But that's just a guess, Honbrid, otherwise, I simply don't kno...zOMG ZOMBIEZ R COMINGS TO EAT MEH!!! *runs frantically*

  4. Nothing as a >noun< comes to mind...

    And there really exists nothing in this universe that IS invincible/indestructible.

    Not even Black Holes. They evaporate over time. Time is the solvent for all things...

    And even TIME is not invincible, for it is malliable by gravity.

    Not even the Universe itself is infinite in it's ability to endure. It too shall end, whether in a Big Crunch, or a Long Dark Teatime of the Soul type thing.

    Therefore, no word can exist for a non-existent thing. QED as it were.
  5. I'd be very interested in knowing what your system has in it to require use of old drivers.

    I know, it's frustrating, but trying to run a Baja 1000 with a Yugo, so to speak, is going to give you problems, and that's just plain physics. So it is with Co*, and using old anything that it doesn't really care for... well... yeah, you might need to address that issue directly, instead of putting up with the -ignorebaddriver thing.

    Maybe they were having such issues with support calls with people who used the switch but still had other issues related to using it, they decided to ignore the ignore? :dunno:

    Just in case anyone was unaware.
    I was, in fact, unaware. But now that I am not, I will be getting this. Frequently. Which means 4 times at the moment, because I only have 4 toons that can get it.

    /5 soon enough.

    This is exactly what I'm seeing. So... It's broken.

    Aggie, I'm sure that's what they're saying... but... there is a second part to this, and that starts in another thread, and it *directly* has to do with security. Namely, having us log in all the time isn't a good idea, if that 8 hour thing is supposed to be true.

    And I know you're just repeating what's been said, so that's cool.

    Any votes on the forums only thread area?

    I'm just curious about whether it is possible to have a power that causes knockback only when the target dies from the attack. The idea is mainly for visual appeal, specifically with powersets like Super Strength and Titan Weapons. Would the current powers system support a huge knockback contingent upon death? Is it similarly possible for powers like Nova to multiply the KB even higher when the target dies? I'd love to see things go flying huge distances, but mainly dead things.

    (One possible route would be for any power with knock up or back in it to do something like (base value x 3) + Mag 6 knockback if the target dies from the attack.)
    ...is that I now want a FINISH HIM! sort of awesome knockback/knockup for *every* baddie I put down, with an optional 'gibbination' for doing it with a Lethal or Smashing hit.

    /And if the game said "FINISH HIM!", well, that would be pure w00tness.

    I'm guessin' it's one of two things:

    The file(s) in question are locked for some reason, either due to a program holding on to them, or one of the folders listed in the install somewhere is not allowing access to the files.

    It's possible the spaces in the name "NCPatcherCon fig" is the problem.

    Other than that... idunno. Drill press maybe.

    Shut up you. It had Olivia d'Abo in it, and she was teh hawt... underaged at 15, yes, I admit that, but teh hawt nonetheless.

  15. Or is it just me?

    I cannot get this thing to remember me. I have to keep typing in my password. I'm not certain if it's my computer or the forums anymore. I've heard both. Checks on my computer reveal nothing, and I've tried to get these forums to remember me on other computers, to no avail.

    So, is what I'm experiencing having to do with the computer I'm using, the IE8 or IE9s I'm using, the Uverse/DSL/ATT fiber connections (I've used all three at different locals, all of which I 'own', so to speak), or is it the forums, or is it possibly my user name?

    I don't... think there's anything else it could be...

    And, honestly, I think it's time for a 'Things about the forums/boards' section so we can air out issues JUST about this place, and get Mods/Devs to see them.

    Anyway... thanks in advance. Need to know this before my next question.

    This.

    The fact that you also mention Co* is 'crashy' as well as the launcher only strengthens the argument.

    *MY* setup doesn't crash. Period. And it's still Vista Ultimate.

    Not a brag, just sayin', if it's crashin' it's your setup somewhere. The Updater, and Co*, work flawlessly, every time, on my machine:

    E6750 Core 2 Duo, 4G ram, 32 Bit Vista Ultimate, Evga Nvidia 9600GT 512MB PCIx16, onboard Realtek audio, 3 speed on the tree, and an FM radio in it.

  19. Oh, I got them, Hestis... I just don't get... this. But that's ok. It's just weirdness being done for the sake of the word 'because.'

  25. Am I wrong if I say, I don't see villain, I see... weird, yes, but not villain. I don't know exactly what to call that. Disturbed media, maybe.
