Yes was a British prog-rock band formed originally in 1968, and intermittently existing through today with changes in the band lineup (to the point that four members, only one of whom was an original member, wound up forming a whole new band; Chris Squire was the only one to have been in every incarnation of Yes, until his…

Maybe the Qliphotic is cold. That's why they run around during wintertime in Millennium City/Detroit buck naked.

"She has the top score on every MMO out there!" :lol: Oh, and every MMO is somehow also Everquest or WoW. There are no other MMO concepts. But with high scores.

The best description of life with chronic depression I've seen yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAb_bCtKuXg And the latest from the Stupendium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvANy49Kqhw&t=0s

My issue with Lemuria isn't the3D per se, it's the fact that it can be so very frustrating to find locations. Sure, there's a map marker - but is it above you, sitting on top of a giant leaf, or below you, in a cave concealed by the shadows of rocks and those damned leaves again? So I swim around, inadvertently drawing…

Ewoks, working at a Stone Age level of technology, were able to hold what Palpatine described as "an entire legion of my best troopers" at bay during the process of construction of Death Star II - to the point that the Imperials had to establish pickets in the forest to warn the bunkers if anyone was coming. And the only…

A guy who lived with us for a while. Fair collection of furry smut (it wasn't quite porn).

I saw an ad on Facebook way back before the game went F2P, advertising a free weekend. Having fond memories of playing Champs 3rd Ed in college, I went for it; I found the intro difficult at that point, as it didn't work anything like the game I knew but the ATs weren't a thing yet. Later, when the game went F2P, I got an…

And to answer Spinny's original question: I have no idea how to play STE, because I haven't done it. Too busy with altaholism (especially now that a random tweet has me itching to create Night-Monkey, but I'm still leveling Splash, and Pyretta Blaze and the Duck Knight are running the Franklin Stone thing every day, and…
-
Sports-themed isn't enough for a violation claim - after all, DC has had an entire string of villains using the name Sportsmaster, as well as two alt-u variants named Sportsman. Your toon is safe, and looks pretty entertaining - too bad all Heavy Weapons powers (as far as I know) use the same skin, or you could swap out…
-
Haven't gotten lucky enough for any TPs to drop from the few lockboxes I've opened. (I did get the Whirlpool ult, so when Splash gets that high he'll at least have that...)
-
How do you cancel a lifetime sub??
-
So far I've taken Force Bolts as the EB, with that advantage that can put a protective sheath on the user - "sometimes my powers feed back weird, and I get surrounded by a bubble of water. Helps deflect small-arms fire and lasers, but I have to wear this scuba gear so I don't drown." Also using Gust, which when charging…
-
Yep, LTS. I've tried Force and Wind so far - Force Bolts don't really look like anything, and Wind is just so... gusty. Guess I'll have to keep checking them out (Splash hasn't left the Powerhouse yet).
-
The classic guide is what we took to calling the Rule of Three: appearance, name, bio. If two of these are obviously copies (not homages, but straight up copies) of a trademarked character, you run the risk of violating trademark law (which is more dangerous than copyright, as trademarks must be "vigorously defended" or be…

I haven't yet figured out how to get ImgBB to show up at a reasonable size in the forums here. Even the "thumbnail" version always winds up looking like this: And if I want to show the whole picture? [img][/img] That's medium.
-
The cover falls under fair-use parody, as made explicit by the guy lying on the ground, thinking, "Haven't I seen this somewhere before?" :lol:
-
It's either that or 20 hours played on your first toon, I can't recall which. (I haven't had a "first toon" in years, so...) Oh, and WhitePaladin - when you do hit 10 the first time, go look at the Tailor again. Unless that's been fixed, you might find a lot more options available suddenly. The last time I started a new…
-
Yes, and Kitty could have been dragging people halfway into the ground and then letting go. They're both generally too nice for this sort of thing. (Apparently, however, Kurt was sufficiently provoked here. Let this be a lesson to you - there are few creatures more dangerous than a genuinely nice person who's been pushed…
-
I'm sorry, Spinny, but unless Nightcrawler can get in there and bamf shark-kun back into some water pronto, poor thing's been sacrificed to his vengeance. Blood will support its swimming, and given Fred's physiology I imagine there's enough to hold the shark in swimming position for a time, but the chemical differences are…
-
Oh, man - I wish I still had my books. Guess I'll have to try to get the latest edition sometime, and write up "The Magna Carta" again. (I still remember the outline, and some particularly nice - and less than nice - player moments with it, but not enough details to publish the adventure.)
-
No, Spinny, we really don't.
-
My niece used to think she was immune to getting knocked up, but a couple years back she finally managed the trick and now she's growing kid #3.
-
My advice, if you've been out of the game since before the Mods system was instituted? Start a new toon. Lots of things have changed since then, including how most of the powers work. Go through the tutorial (which has also changed), follow the mission chains at least through Westside, get a feel for it. Don't be afraid to…
-
I thought the Drifter sold Glitter Aura. Perhaps I was mistaken. I'll jump online later to check.
-
Yeah, I've changed the mask. It was hard to make him not look like Super Chicken Boo.

It's been so long since I've seen any of my Nemeses, I'd have to go look them up. I mean, I remember that Happifun's Nem is the Luddite, so probably something from The Cog Is Dead would be appropriate, but beyond that it would take some time.
-
I, for example, don't have that sword. And I did get honorable mention once, but nothing at all most of the time.
-
You, ah, may have missed the boat a bit here...
-
Also, most CCs have a theme. This one's theme was "10". You brought in a dragon character (which are a Local a dozen around Mill City, but that's another issue). What about your dragon said "10"? In what way was your entry, in your opinion, superior to whatever won? If you didn't match the theme, then of course you didn't…
-
This is in fact the sole reason for the existence of the Children of MK-Ultra - it's easier to share items and Recognition, especially since I play on more than one account. I can, however, understand why this functionality isn't really of use to most players. STO Armadas exist because Fleets frequently act as a sink for…
-
Okay, if Earth isn't getting an update, can we at least get a patch for North America? The politicians are getting a little weird...
-
Necroposting, Spinny?

Genius inventor Carlos Hernandez read Mills' Standing On Guard as a child, and was swept up in Mills' evocative descriptions of the heroism of the Star*Guard. He decided then and there that one day, he'd be a Guardian too! Now he's an adult and knows it's not that simple. But childhood dreams die hard, especially when you…
-
Oddly, making the ice invisible would in fact make it "black ice". Black ice is called that because it's ice that's frozen on a roadway over such a long period that no air bubbles are in it, making it completely clear - so it appears to be just more flat black asphalt on the road. Then you drive on it, or step on it, and…
-
:lol:
-
Great, now I'm wanting to make a wannabe StarGuardian who read Mills' book and turned into a Star*Guard fanboy. Thanks a lot, Bulgarex. What, don't I have enough toons already? :lol: So, since I don't currently have access to the book, is there a rundown on how Terran governments feel about the Guard?
-
Forty levels, forty bucks. Figured that's how folks would do it. :smile:
-
I see the level of maturity in these discussions is just as high as ever...
-
Heck, if you want you can create the character, skip the tutorial, purchase a lvl 30 jump, then buy ten more levels from the Store. Getting to 40 in a week or less with a brand-new toon is the only criterion.
-
No, PWE doesn't own Cryptic or its IP, they're just the publisher. Cryptic purchased the IP directly from Hero, and had it under Atari, as well. (Pretty sure that purchase contract was deliberate, in order to avoid another situation like CoH where they could get the IP yanked away from them by the publisher.) Should PWE no…
-
I started with 3rd ed rules, but our GM had some 2nd ed villain books. Very different artwork styles...
-
Add an ice-trail effect to this, and it's a day-one purchase for Cryogen. :)

And the weirdness doesn't end with the Silver Age, as Gail Simone's run on Secret Six can attest:
-
Clearly Superman has forgotten his safe word (it's "Bruce Wayne"). Superdickery.com is a gold mine.
-
That would be consistent with the triage center set up to take care of the victims of Mechanon's nanobot attack - the ones bursting into flame in downtown Millennium City. The Champions seem to be coordinating with either UNTIL or PRIMUS on an ad-hoc basis, treating the immediate victims as best they can and presumably…
