  1. One word Westpac
  2. I want to circle back to his concept of there being such a thing as excessive masturbation, I am pretty sure that's not a thing. 🙂
  3. This. So many time this. 🙂
  4. I got a rock
  5. Concur, same SW and DB versions and I see regen for tank.
  6. Totally not skippable.
  7. 1. I had just transferred back to the states from Naples, Italy in April of 2004. After getting settled into work I was looking for a distraction and saw some ad somewhere about the game, maybe at CompUSA. I had played the pen and paper RPGs of Champions, Marvel Super Heroes and Villains and Vigilantes for years before joining the Navy and my brother and I created these super crappy comic books to go with the adventures (this was like 1985-87 time frame) so a super hero game was so for me. 2. I love the fun I still have in playing. I tried other games when CoH shut down, Champions Online to start (meh), Eve Online, Star Trek Online, the wretched D&D Online, none got it done for me. So I literally devolved into playing toilet time games on my iPaq (yes Compaq had the lower case i thing first) like Yahtzee and Battleship and later iPad tappy tap games (no phones thought, Machete don't play on phones). Anyway it was steam revisits of the Sims and Mechwarrior until I found out about Homecoming. It is like grilled cheese and tomato soup on a crappy day, its comforting and it makes me feel good. I am stunned how well its held up, but also not surprised. It was a lightning in a bottle thing and I was just glad I was there to enjoy it then and now.
  8. Charlie Brown is a Mook.
  9. What? OMG this is interesting?
  10. The amateur psychologist in this threat needs to lighten up.
  11. Thanks @UltraAlt for the post on the how to; what a community booster. I have a tray of macros on a toon whose theme is they randomly shift between genders and use them to quickly shift. I also use it on several secret identity change gimmicks as well as aura and non-aura modes. Good stuff.
  12. I like this. Its a fun little bit of fluff that speaks to love of the game and of fun over balancing risk vs rewards or appeasing crowd X or Z. The absence of rewards of any tangible form other than normal XP and a little salvage make it something that you don't have to grind and repeat of all your alts. It doesn't choke up a zone or turn it into a lag fest yet still encourages teaming to defeat whatshisnut, Bladehook and also gives those who want to solo ALL TEH AVs there thing. Plus, I will often spend most of a work day on the 19th talking like a pirate for fun and frolic so bonus. Well done, devs. Really well done.
  13. Everyone forgets about Percy Winkley which is why he is constantly having to be rescued, almost as bad as Fusionette.
  14. I do call it "The Game" as well as "My Game" to people who don't play. I found a co-worker or two recently who play but overall, I just speak of it as part of my life, like my car and that periodically reoccurring rash.
  15. I like Jell-O.
  16. I know its nine pages in but not a dirty word to me. its a game mechanic I use and rarely get complaints because I know how to use it. Fun comes in so many shapes and colors.
  17. I'd rather talk about my feelings regarding loaded potatoes. What problem cant be solved by adding bacon and cheese?
  18. All the response emoticons shall be his/hers.
  19. dude or dudette, I have been around a while too, it was a joke. Maybe there's a sense of humor farm in AE you can join 🙂
