Yeah--
This sounds something that will complicate life a whole lot more.
High school is drama... meeting people after high school is a prelude to tragedy.

Maybe she wants something with you... also closure.
But I see it like this.
You crazy.
She crazy. (And with 5 kids...)

It's not a good combo, and even if you're just looking only for closure-- things like this has a way to drag people in bigger problems.

I signed onto City of Heroes the other night and they have started the 2008 Halloween Event. For the next two weeks, the game is set to permanent night time mode, you go up to random buildings and trick-or-treat for cosumes/salvage or attacks from groups of bassies, OR... fight zombie hordes as they invade random zones.

I was signed in with my Assault Rifle/Devices Blaster the other night, and I swear I felt like I was in a bad version of a Resident Evil game or something. Just me, my gun, and a crapload of zombies chasing me around.... I about fell out laughing when a zombie pimp in a zuit suit tried to take me out with a slap.

Just to let you know, if I can put my conspiracy theory into a video, I'm sure it'll attract some followers as well

It's mostly tongue in cheek but some research's been made and all I have to do is twist it.

I'm going to have to check that out. I was attacked by zombies once and figured it was halloween related.

Tell me if this is a good move. I put the first stage of flight on my archer and I basically have him shooting from the skies, which usually means straight down. It's less movment intensive. I was going to put flight on my fire brawler but I figured it was of minimal use to melee guy, which sucks because if you have a superhero you want to fucking fly.

Pretty good. I've figured out your characters intro. Be prepared to take a couple knocks, it is comedic after all.

I would of thought you knew.

French Vanilla usually has an egg in it, making it richer. This also explains it's yellowness.

Either way...................they're both tasty.

Yay internet Apparently it's named for the French style of ice cream making.

The flight powerset is one of four that they refer to as a "travel power." The Hover power is incredibly slow and can be slotted for defense, so it's more meant for you to just hover in place and fight. The actual fly power is the one you want for traveling long distances, especially later on in the game when you get to the Shadow Shard (alternate universe that consists of floating islands).

As far personal prefferences go, I like the flight set over any of the other travel powers in the game for the simple fact that I can avoid a LOT of obstacles going from point A to point B. I hate the super speed set as it makes me deathly motion sick. I'm experimenting with the super-jump set with one of my characters, and teleport power.... is fucking bizarre, and a bit counter-intuitive.

I doubt it, but I usually like it a little bit better than plain for the fact that it's a little bit creamier tasting.

And could someone please explain how they managed to make a black damascus sword? That puzzles me.

So, I'm using it correctly.
Also, I forgot to mention that WoW also has seasional attractions. Like you can go to the inns in the different towns to trick or treat and such. Also, there's a special seasonal boss fight where you can get cool gear off them. Right now it's the headless horseman. I got his horse.
The special thing about this horse is that it's spec change depending on where you are. In short, there are areas where you can fly and areas you can't. Usually you had to have two mounts to have both a flier and a runner. So in the flying place you get to fly around on a flaming evil horse and in the other places you're stuck just running on the ground with an evil, flaming horse.

As far personal prefferences go, I like the flight set over any of the other travel powers in the game for the simple fact that I can avoid a LOT of obstacles going from point A to point B. I hate the super speed set as it makes me deathly motion sick. I'm experimenting with the super-jump set with one of my characters, and teleport power.... is fucking bizarre, and a bit counter-intuitive.


I went with the jumps for my fire brawler because what I'm setting up his story as is that he's just a really athletic and skilled guy who got fire powers. You do get into the storytelling aspect of character making

Agreed. My favorite thing is write their backstory as relating to the whole Countess Crey story arc (she took over the Crey corporation from her husband, so I imagine there was quite a bit of corporate restructuring and more than a few disgruntled heroes who worked there as a day job....).

bc just takes himself to seriously. Cellardoor and Mason are two I'd love to see in here a bit more because they are just some interesting characters to talk to outside of political discussion.

Yes quite.

Though I would like to see a few more posters from the past.

Including JHMX, one would think that Prague would have internet capabilities.
