In my last post I asked for advice on PCs. After thinking some options over (both gaming and home life), I am now considering a laptop.

Who plays CoX on a laptop, and what do you have?

What are good options for gaming laptops? Alienware is supposed to be good by reputation, but I would really need some solid justification to spend that much since I'm just a casual gamer.

Back in Tucson! I love love the wonderful soft king size mattress, and the lack of allergens, and the space! And the free rent. Too bad it's in Tucson :-(

I am trying to create a character based on Buccaneer Bruce to take over my Buccaneers villain group when Spirit is redeemed. I was excited when I saw the ninja robe because I thought (along with the sleeves) it would make a great Buccaneer costume. But now I'm starting to think that without an actual swashbuckler hat, I won't be able to pull it off.

I tried using the existing pirate hats, and they really don't convey the look I want. So I tried the wide brimmed hat that came with the magic pack, and the bandanna (which is what Spirit wears). What do you guys think? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Edit: Much thanks to fredchook for the great suggestions!

does anyone know anything about google chrome OS and how it relates to apps and CoH?
I figured most people ran XP or a 64 bit OS. Is there any room for another OS in the bloated and cash strapped market? is it just for little netbooks?

As an aside to this, if I wanted to dual boot a linux OS to run CoH if possible, which one is best? I am itching to try something new on my modded acer, which is slowed quite a bit by vista.

edit: this blog answered some questions.

EDIT: I forgot 7

So today I should buy the Martial Arts micro-booster. It took me 7 tries to get their very similar looking letters right. And of course for each try I had to fill in my credit card number again, and expiry year and month, and the extra 3 digits. Luckily it did remember my name and address, or I would probably have given up. It would probably have taken me less time to open an account with a competitor - if they had any competitors with ninjas.

And it still does not keep the spammers away. Because spammers are humans too, only with lower wages.

The Wisconsin job place said they'd let me know as soon as they got my test, which was supposed to be today, so I was eagerly awaiting a phone call. Then I got an email saying they got my test and now it is being reviewed which might take 1-2 weeks then I might get an on site interview. What the heck?
So I sent an email, synopsis of which is "what the heck?" Then I got a phone call from someone other than the person who I've been communicating with, and she said she called to let me know that they are considering me for both the programming job, and a job as a tech writer! Which is what I wanted all along, and applied to originally! And she says I probably will need an onsite interview (I double checked that they pay) and I should hear something Mondayish. Yay! I probably get a free trip to Wisconsin! And possibly get to be a tech writer! I swear, not going to stay in Wisconsin more than a couple years. Must come back to California. I like California. But this would be a great opportunity for a couple years.

Total Time: 20+ minutes
Ending Heart Rate: -not measured-

Walk: 3 1/2 minutes to park (warm up)
Stretching: 5 minutes, full body stretch
Jog/Run: 6 1/2 minutes
Walk/Run: about 5 minutes

Form was good to fair; too much mouth breathing especially during my recovery period

Feels good to break a sweat. I probably could have done more, but am satisfied with this. Time to shower.

I checked the other tags for trials/gamecodes but didn't find any related to upgrading in this particular direction, so I want to double check. My b/f has the GvE edition of the game. For his birthday, I recently was able to find a new, sealed City of Heroes DVD Collector's Edition so I could get him Prestige Power Slide because he mentioned he'd really like that someday. I got the game, sent it to a mutual friend of ours in the US (I live in Europe and he lives in Canada and the shipper only shipped within the continental US) and I want to give him the code so he can upgrade his account ASAP to play with the shinies, then our friend will ship him the box.

Do we have to open a ticket with support to add the DVD CE to his GvE account or will using the "Upgrade Account" and adding the serial code in his NC Master Account be enough? I have repeatedly stressed to him not to click "Add Game" because I'm fairly sure that would create a separate account for him. I want to know ahead of time though if we have to open a support ticket or not though, cuz I don't want to accidentally waste the code or something.

Thanks in advance for advice! I'm really hoping to get this to him soon because the first time I went to buy him a DVD CE edition, the seller claimed it was guaranteed to work etc etc and we received the box with an already used code -_- So he couldn't use that at all and I've had to wait a few months checking ebay for a new one.

Super Booster IV: Martial Arts

( Read more... )

( You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for minors. )

Here is the schedule for the next few weeks:

Nov 18 - something different than the static 8 on Champion, see below

Nov 25 - cancelled due to Thanksgiving

Dec 2 - possibly back on the static 8 on Champion

Since Mura will be off next week, I won't be playing my fire/kin either. We need to figure something different to do because my alt is Yet Another Scrapper. As demonstrated by our failed ITF, it's already too heavy on melee and too light on support. I had actually planned to switch off my controller for good at this level point anyway so I don't know ... maybe we need to switch for good to something different because I am quite tired of speed boosting.

So, what do people want to work on?
