  1. Does no one else find it ironic that a guy named Monty Haull is asking what we have on hand?
  2. Choice paralysis? Never. I can only afford the low-quality stuff.
  3. I don't use Gmail, but I have heard rumor they have disposable email addresses. If so, this might prove a way to do it. That said, if they do have them, read setup carefully. Some disposable have a short life, some remain until you remove them. And there could be something between.
  4. That pairing does work very well. Of the handful of MMs I have, it's my favorite.
  5. I'm actually only posting ones that, generally speaking, cannot fight well alone. Mad Hatter, of course, uses mind control to gain minions. Joker definitely works with minions, but he's incredibly dangerous as a solo act as well. As is Two-Face, Bane, Magneto, Gorilla Grodd, etc. I suppose there's a reasonable argument to be made for Professor X being a mastermind over the X-men on the side of heroes, though like Magneto, he's very dangerous as a solo act as well.
  6. This one has been a tough wrangle: Vincent Poe, my young dark/dark corruptor. Early attempts produced dramatically wrong results. Even now, I'd say the system only understands about 80% of what I'm after, but at least it's keyed in thematically now. I've yet to get it to understand the concept of the white-faced goth look without it immediately adding a boatload of undesired extras to the look, and it seems to have no idea how to render a brass collar, so I had to leave those off, but these latter works were an improvement.
  7. I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I hope we don't squelch that. CoH: Homecoming exists as a volunteer effort, and that solely by the graces of NC Soft. We're allowed donations to keep the lights on, but the license doesn't allow for "a lot more $$$". It's volunteer work only. We violate that, we're likely to get the permit revoked and the game shut down. As to offering services, might I suggest starting with @Arcanum's post of January 17.
  8. Trying to remember if this is the one where she's with a priest and a rabbi.
  9. I absolutely hate Posi 1 for the endless possibilities for a single teammate to screw it up for everyone, whether innocently or deliberately. I've suffered both. That said, it now occurs to me that I might just want to run it at top setting with a team full of very experienced players using their level 50s decked out. (Yes, I know the game sets the level.) The finale fights might just be interesting for once.
  10. One other of A.I. Heat Hitter. The rest of it is okay, but I included it because the shirt logo is so cool. It's the epitome of "hellcat" and I'd love to see it added to game costume options.
  11. Next up my mace/fire brute, baseball-themed "Heat Hitter". I couldn't get the A.I. to understand I wanted wrap sunglasses and a 1920s style uniform, but I did like the creative results. Incidentally, the top corner to viewer's right, I instructed the A.I. starting "Michael Bay explosions style..." 😁
  12. Ah...but which Canada Day? No year was given.
  13. Ugh...now I have Mark Hamil's Joker voice saying that over and over in my head. Wish I'd never done so many bonus rounds in DC Universe Online.
  14. *Checks the name "Earworm"....drat!* Staff does sound good. I would have said MA/SR, which I have in a scrapper. I've often referred to his MA moves as "poetry in motion".
  15. I just happened to have a level 2 just chilling without a single exploration badge, so I ran him through everything until he got Passport, and with it Fast Travel. Eight badges: Regarding the map earlier in the thread. #4 "Patriot" is practically underneath of #6 "Freedom", and as the map is 2D, it doesn't show in position. The map makes reference that it would be under that dark purple icon. Any chance that's why it's perceived as 7?
  16. I'm guessing when they say "8" they're also referring to the AE badge from when the AE building was where the building to Fort Trident is now. As it was the first AE building people encountered, they would have naturally added it into the count, even though it can be acquired at any AE building.
  17. Y'all mentioned holiday missions but none mentioned that big ol' ski resort just outside the window? Look for the wood door with a ski symbol and some snow by it. You can get badges for making good time down the slopes. Beneath the ski lodge is a door to the skating lake, where several memorial avatars reside. The Doctor also hangs out there. Look around closely enough and you'll discover I'm right. Also moderately-well hidden is an entrance into the third section of the game, the gold side, Praetoria. That door leads to Praetoria's nightclub and from there to the streets.
  18. I keep forgetting whether the badge marker is in enter or exit chamber at the tram station in the archived Atlas Park. I feel very stupid running around the entrance area without result, then more stupid when I realize there's no one around to wonder why I'm acting stupidly.
  19. There's also the Joker. It used to be thought Jack Nicholson, who was nominated for both BAFTA and Golden Globe awards (at a time when comic book movies were not considered really award material) couldn't be topped, then Heath Ledger came along. It was widely declared no one else would work in the role, especially with an Oscar for his performance, then Joaquin Phoenix matched the Oscar. Replacing an iconic actor can be done, it just has to be done carefully.
  20. Should have created Zathras. Many Zathras. When confronted say "Many Zathras. This different Zathras."
  21. Next up on my attempts was my little ray of Summer-of-Love sunshine, the mentally-stuck-in-1967 water Sentinel, Aged Of Aquarius. See his in-game version here. I must say, although Bing's image generator never hit every point I was making (it had no idea what to do with "purple shoulder pads"), every image it generated was spiritually right on target. I really liked this attempt. The hard part was culling the results down to just a few. Although I tweaked the description several times, here's the core of it: thin, smiling 76-year-old Caucasian hippy male, scraggly long grey hair, round wire glasses, green and blue tie-die long-sleeve T-shirt with pink and yellow peace symbol on center front, tight blue jeans with bell bottoms and embroidered gold stars, brown sleeveless jacket with high collar, purple short fingerless leather gloves, standing in shallow pool of splashing water, water jets from his raised hands
  22. Awww, man...I was out-of-town most of Saturday. You guys got to post these things in advance so we can arrange our schedule. Pin it like the costume contest thread.
  23. With respect, that may be an individual thing. I took to blasting like a duck to water. In exchange however, I have a harder time with other archetypes like masterminds and titan weapons. While I love melee, I have learned that I'm just not mentally tuned to stalker. Yet I've teamed with some amazing players wielding these skills. In time, each will find their strengths.
