Coin

It was different for me as I live in the UK and they just weren't that prevalent here outside of specialist comic books. Over here we mostly had UK comic books like the Beano, Dandy, Whzzer and Chips etc, with older fans getting the like of 2000 AD, hardly anywhere sold any "proper" US comics liek DC or Marvel. I only found some when my Nanna was in hospital and I went to visit her and went to the little gift shop outside the hospital which had about 6 or 7 DC comics in there, one of which was Hawk and Dove mini series issue 2, one was Starman issue 1 and also a Teen Titans annual. I bought those threee, read them, loved them, hunted down a comic book store in my home city centre and never looked back 🙂 Anything before that was just single stories that appeared in various UK publications, usually reprints of DC and Marvel stuff. I remember a couple of the storylines when I got them in the original format, but there was very little actual constant release of any US lines So, yeah, when I look around the world today, with numerous TV shows, movies, animation and full access to comic books online, it's a bloody golden age for me 🙂

Just started Endless Legend complete edition as it was 75% off on Steam and might my Civ itch for something new 🙂

Wolfsbane is another name I remember 🙂

Snipped for brevity, but this, this right here, is like it's describing my life as well! I remember going to see Star Wars when I was about 6 or 7 yrs old, I read comic books as a kid, fell in love with superheroes thanks to shows like Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends and DC's Super Friends, got heavily into comics as a teenager when I stumbled over the Hawk and Dove miniseries and not looked back since! And yes, I remember the long years of awful adapations of our heroes, such as the Hulk/Thor TV movie spin off from the classic series (although I still loved it 😄 ) So, yeah, I LOVE the MCU! I'm not as big a Marvel aficionado as some people, but I know enough to understand basics so I loved seeing how it was adapted and I've loved every single one of them. And it is so heartbreaking to see so many people complain about tiny aspects of them because "it's not right, they changed it, WAAAA!" I'm of a simple mindset where I just enjoy something. I don't try to nit pick a movie for fine details, plot holes, little errors etc, I just enjoy them if I enjoy them. The only time I don't enjoy them is when they get the basic fundamentals of a character wrong, the recent Superman/Justice League movies being a perfect example of that, but I don't complain endlessly about it either. I keep an open mind for every movie and I LOVED Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam, they were all excellent 😄 Honestly, as superhero fans, this is the best we have ever had it. Numerous great movies, awesome TV shows that capture the spirit perfectly (Arrowverse and Crisis I adored 😄 ) fantastic animation like Spider-Verse and Young Justice., even novels based on our heroes and villains to read! Plus, I still love Doctor Who as well, there's another toxic fanbase if you want petty and pathetic "fans" 😄 We're in a golden age, people, enjoy it! 😄

So I was on a Synapse earlier with a really good team, was flying through it when we had a power cut in our area and my PC died in the middle of the TF, so I got knocked out of it 😞 Just wanted to apologise to the team I was with, totally unavoidable but still wanted to shout out anyway!

Joined and registered and all that! This program is actually helping my son's anxiety (he's autistic and the Coronavirus is a big trigger for him at the moment) as he knows that his PC is helping towards it. The fact it's now running with 10 times the amount of people using it means it's now more powerful than the top 7 supercomputers put together helps him understand that it's being worked on and we are actually doing our bit to help. I've just told him about this group and he's bouncing and stimming like crazy with excitement and happiness 🙂

Just.....stay out of my head!! It's not a nice place and I've ran out of toilet roll 😄

Ahhh nuts, I did a search, but not for Multiversal 😄 As you were! Nothing to see here! Move along!

Just curious, given all the recent storylines in comics and movies, does anyone else have multiverse versions of their characters and how they played them? I have a Coin on each of the servers, same basic backstory, all Blasters but all with a different powerset, so it's a En/En on Torchbearer and an Ice/Ice on Excelsior for instance, even the same base costume but with some slightvariations of colours at patterns Torchbearer is my main, a recreation of my original character from Live and had to remake him. I originally made the same character on each server to make sure no one else was using my name 😉 but decided to re-roll them all as the different sets. In my Head Canon, I like the idea of people who change servers meeting the differing versions of Coin (Not that I RP in any way!) but it still amuses my DC Comics loving mind 🙂 Anyone else do anything similar?

I've thought of this before, always imagined Coin to be played a younger John Cusack, but I think he's getting too old for the role now 🙂

Interesting moves there. I think I'll play Charing Cross. This should be OK as it's a Thursday and that's allowed under the Finchley Addendum of 1984.

Another Sid Meir one from me, I love the Civilization games and play them consantly, always looking for ways to make it different, trying different Civ's in ways they wouldn't normally go etc.

I wouldn't mind the grindy ones if they were retroactive, but I hate having to go through story arcs again when I've already done them on a character

Good thanks, nice to see you back! I don't think Maz is back on here, tbh, not sure, I do see her on Facebook from time to time though 🙂

Now there's a name I remember! Hey Ant 🙂

Civilisation 6 is my main go to for a game that always keeps me playing. Seriously, the phrase "one more turn" will be etched on my gravestone 😄 There are a few games on Steam I got that I want to get around to playing.....well, I say a few....oh gods, there are so many 😞 Just bought Evoland 2 on the latest Steam sale, need to get started on that, but, you know......badges 😄

Not sure if he reads these forums or not, but can I give a shout out to Furyraiser on Torchbearer? That guy has done so much to help me and others in getting the hard to get trial badges and I owe him a wookie style Life Debt for it 😄

So, massive Skyrim fan, love it to bits and did play the ESO at launch but stopped after the first month as I found it to be basically a single player game not what I wanted from a MMO. There's been a lot of updates now though and new content and seems to be doing ok, so I'm tempted to give it another try Anyone out there playing it regularly at all? Is it any good? And does the subscription give you access to all the expansions and DLC or do you need to buy them separately first?

Just don't call it the Super Secret Invite Only Serv.....erm, Forum. That might not go down well 😄

Well, that happened quietly! No wonder I missed it! We need to spread the word! 😄

WOAH!! COH IS BACK!!! HOLY RESURRECTIONS, BATMAN!! How do I play it again???? 😄

I'm a lifelong DC comics fan since I was a teenager and discovered comic books when I was about 12 and started, rather fortuitously, just after the original Crisis. Never looked back and have read pretty much every DC comic since then (have them all on my PC as well so I can look back and re-read all the time 🙂 ) So, yeah, I watch pretty much everything that comes out, TV, movie, animation, the lot. :D I love all the CW shows and think it's the closest we've ever got to actual comic books on screen, with their serialised storylines and big, crazy characters. I agree, it's not always perfect, Arrow and Flash have both had duff episodes and have struggled at times, but I persevered and there have been some excellent stuff come out of them, especially the crossovers and the Crisis was just all kinds of awesome for me :) I also watch all the others, unless it gets cancelled very quickly, like Swamp Thing (I don't have enough hours in the day to be able to watch all the TV and movies I want to so I can't afford to waste it on shows that are gone that fast 😞 ) and yes, Harley Quinn is brilliant atm :) Looking forward to Stargirl, should be fun!

When the hell did we get all these new off topic forums??? I nearly screamed out when I saw these tucked away at the bottom!! 😄 😄 😄 Many thanks, people in power! 😄

Bloody hell, welcome back Mrs Sparrow 😄

TBH, I'd like to see more badges, but I prefer ones that need to be earned rather than ground out, like influence, damage taken etc. It's no fun just parking yourself in a mission overnight to get a badge, there's not a lot of achievement there. I'd like to see more Master Of badges, perhaps for all the trials and TF's out there, like Posi, Silver Mantis etc, although some of them could be too easy. Exploration and plaques are always fun but would need a lot of unofficial lore adding.
