Looks like Parmount has scheduled it for the summer next year..provided of course SAG gets it's act together.



Sienna Miller as Baroness



Lee Byeong Heon as Stormshadow



Dennnis Quaid as General Hawk



Rachel Nichols as Scarlett

Bob, I believe StarRanger was bugging you to do a G.I Joe step before. This is just as good.

for anyone who has a MA/INV Scrapper - or just /INV Scrapper period. I want some help in reviving a semi-retired character.

Lora Doubet was my first level 50. And I had a lot of fun with playing her, but then ED hit, then global defense nerf... I got her to level 50, but she was
almost completely shelved after that, except to get new zone, monster, and event badges.

I'd like to revive her and make her build viable. So I'd like some help. This is her current build and I've only ever used one respec on her.

First off, I know that by current standards, she's VERY gimped. (No dull pain, for starters. I was playing to concept before all the invulnerability nerfs,
and as a full body cyborg, I wasn't sure how to justify a self heal. Since then, I look at it less as actual -damage- taken, and more as "Stun"
damage, (Like in Champions) so conceptually, I no longer have a problem with it. )

So first - some screenshots, including her current build. (I don't know exactly the order the powers and slots were taken in, that was a LONG time ago.)





Things I'd like to keep -

Both Superspeed and Superleap. (Though if I must, I'll lose Superspeed.)

Focused Accuracy (Possibly conserver power, but I'm willing to drop that. But Focused Accuracy is MANDATORY)

Things I'm definitely getting rid of include Crippling Axe Kick.

Other than that, everything else is negotiable.

Any ideas?

*Edit: Here's a preliminary powers list that I did. I don't have current "build software" so this was just jotted on notepad as I went
partially through the respec and then backed out. I don't have slots listed yet.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Having reread Island in the Sea of Time and the 1632 series, an idea occurred to me:
How about one of these "Alien Space Bat" plots with the transported folks from the past coming to the present?
Happily bubbling away in the back of my mind, I picked an event with a controllable number of folks of diverse backgrounds... kind of.
Premise: Alien Space Bats cause a "ring of fire" that transports the RMS Titanic from the night of April 14, 1912, (in its own universe) to the night of April 14, 200x (in a universe where the Titanic sank).
Now, before I can get to the wonderful drama of these early 20th century class-stratified folks adjusting to the "chaotic" modern age, I need to figure out the consequences of the arrival. I'd need to figure out how long the old ship can cruise around without realizing anything's wrong except a "damned strange weather phenomenon last night, wot?" And just what modern ship will encounter Titanic first.
I'd like it to be the Queen Mary 2 on its own transatlantic crossing, but I'd also need to realize how long it would be before the Titanic was picked up on radar, etc, getting the various Coast Guards riled up when it only has a Morse spark-gap "wireless" system or semaphore for communication...
And exactly how the US Coast Guard WOULD react...
If you folks still have the link to that author's resource blog for me to ask such questions, that would be swell.

There was a manga, comics, toy and collectables convention downtown. I'd forgotten about it, really - I was in the city for something else, and walking to
the train station when I passed a poster. And I'm like, hey, wait, that's down the street.

So. I feared I'd leave with my wallet somewhat lighter, but I went anyway. As it turns out, I was right, I did spend enough money to blow my budget for
nonessential entertainment items for the next, well, few months. The thing is...

...I spent my money at the Wacom booth.

I am no longer an artistic Luddite. I have a drawing tablet. And here's my first attempt at an entirely digital piece of work:



The actual base drawing isn't my best, but I was still feeling my way through the whole 'sketching with a tablet' thing when I did the initial
linework. But by the time I got to the colours and shading, it was a breeze. The chest symbol's pretty crap, admittedly - I really can't draw stars,
can I? But I had to take a stab at it for the costume. Ah well.

All in all, I think I've leveled up my capacity to produce neat things.

I've recently done a bit of desperation and picked up another job. The constraints of it and my other job held concurrently mean I have very little time to
play CoH as it stands, especially since, as anyone who's done any long-term CoH missions with me lately knows, this means I have limited time to
"help" my father with his online schoolwork.

So, I'm gonna be on the game considerably less than previously... add to this the lack of PlayNC timecards at my former sources... ><

(Or should that be "Frodo's Guide to Fenspace"? )

Since I'm writing a long story with people moving from place to place, I thought it might help to list where they can get a decent bite to eat... So, here's a very rough, "zeroth-draft" list of where to get a good meal out in Fenspace. These are just the places I remember being mentioned by somebody; details and other contributions, as always, are encouraged.

Ahem...

Does it count as a plotbunny when so many people have already written the story?

Poor guy..being called the Great Erotic King...just because the school bishojo is literally doing everything short of raping him!
