  1. The error code states that you're trying to run the game on Intel HD integrated graphics. Your follow-up post says you've got a Radeon installed. Either you enabled the integrated Intel chip and set it as the default in the BIOS, or a Windows update did it in the OS.
  2. Hit mechanics, but instead of misses, glancing blows. Glancing blows would deal less damage (if the power deals damage) and the secondary effects would be reduced (either duration or percentage/magnitude), providing a measure of parity between toggle/passive mitigation and active mitigation.
  3. There were ball gags in Batman Forever? No, don't answer that. If there were, I've forgotten and I want to keep it that way.
  4. Yeah, but it's been decades since anyone's visited my bed, so there's not much point advertising now.
  5. As long as they're available to everyone, rather than restricted so one third the characters can't have them, sure. Gag away.
  6. It's Express, it's apparently blocking the UDP ports used by Co*. They can't do anything about it. Try a different VPN.
  7. All enemies, mission maps and bases would be created after, and only after, carefully and fully reading through the entire Evil Overlord list. Twice.
  8. Comic book enemy organizations, like the Sinister Six or the Legion of Doom.
  9. This isn't a question about what we want added to the existing game. This is a question about what we'd want if the game were being created today. As such, there's no rating to be removed, since the game in question hasn't been completed or released yet. Read the thread title. Read the first post. Also, nipples are nipples. Dude nipples, lady nipples, they're biologically identical, nothing more than organic straws. Labeling one gender's straws as "unfriendly" is parochial; doing so while giving a pass to the other gender's is hypocritical. Don't make me say something the mods will regret.
  10. No idea. But I can't think of anything that doesn't need more Karl Urban.
  11. I'm sending the murder squirrels after both of you.
  12. Are we recreating Mars Attacks!? Wait, sorry, I meant... Ack! Ack ack ack! ACK ACK?
  13. Tony Stank's department.
  14. Argus seems to work better than Alien. Death Guard or Breather 4 for a more prominent mouth (not pictured).
  15. Use the Caffeinated pool power. Two hour duration, short animation and recharge times.
  16. Eh. Strigils weren't common until around the 4th-3rd century BC, and are only referenced as early as the 6th century BC on pottery. The Olympics pre-date strigils by a couple of centuries, so simple tools, such as shells, would've been in use for hundreds of years before strigils were the norm.
  17. You've been eating packing peanuts again, haven't you.
  18. Well, Co* is a prime example of emergent play, in my opinion. From the day it was released, players have been going off on different paths, doing things Cryptic never expected, intended or imagined. Costume contests. Badge hunting. Market manipulation/finance building through the market. PDP/Pocket D RP socialization. Archetype bending. Proc monster/buzzsaw builds. Self-imposed restrictions such as playing without travel powers, deleting a character if X happens, beating the Hamidon under certain conditions (as few players as possible, for instance). Some approaches were deemed incompatible with the long-term health of the game, like dumpster diving, but overall, throughout the years, both Cryptic and Paragon (and now HC) went the extra mile to broaden and strengthen the emergent model. When they saw a new avenue of play coming into focus, they typically embraced it. They listened, watched and supported what we were doing, and tried to give us as many ways to play Co* as there are people playing it. I may never comprehend the emotional context which constitutes fun, but I can recognize when something's amazing, and this game, the way the developers have always channeled it to support emergent game play, is definitely amazing. I'll also note that what we have today wouldn't exist if Blizzard's approach had become the norm earlier than it did. It's clear, in retrospect, that that is why the game was ultimately shut down by the publisher, it simply didn't fit with the new paradigm and it couldn't be shoehorned into it, no matter what they tried (the last few Issues before the blip indicate that they did try). I wouldn't have come to that realization if it weren't for your comments, so thank you for giving me another opportunity to learn and grow.
