This should describe it pretty well:

If you guys are interested, please join. It's in beta now, but it's quickly growing, and it's where gamers from all walks of life can chill around the water cooler and be friends.

So, distracted by shiny objects. The main one is Champions Online, again, where I've made a lolsome and fun to play character... The Amazing ICE CREAM MAN!



I didn't save his bio to a text file to cut and paste here, but basically one of the setting's magic villains (Lo Pan) stole an ice cream cart rather than pay for a lemon sherbet and discarded it after taking his prize, but the residual magic animated the rest into a magical ice cream construct which has now taken to being a superhero to avenge all crimes against tasty treats.

Ice Cream Man is, naturally, a Glacier AT with tank/ranged ice powers, and on the same account (@velocirapture2go) as my other favorites, Velocirapture (Unleashed/dual blades blender on two legs fluffed as speedster) and Sturgeon General (Radiant/ranged healer with decent DPS when no one's hurtin')

So, Codewalker and the people at Titan Network have put together a program that essentially turns your CoH I24 Beta client into a chat program.  Knowing the RP aspect of the Legendary, I thought there might be some small interest.  It's called Paragon Chat.  First three bullet points from their FAQ:

What is Paragon Chat?
Paragon Chat is a software program that turns your City of Heroes client into an interactive chat and socialization platform. It allows you to design costumes, see and meet with other players in a shared virtual space, communicate through text chat as well as animated emotes, and manage a list of friends that you frequently interact with and wish to be able to see your online status.
What is Paragon Chat not?
It is not a game. It does not feature combat, power mechanics, accumulation of experience, leveling, inventory, auctions, etc.
Do I need to have City of Heroes already installed?
Yes. You'll need the Issue 24 Beta client. As the game was Free-to-Play before closure and beta access was not consistently a VIP perk, anyone who downloaded it in 2012 should have a legal copy.

Full FAQ is here.
You seem to need a Titan Network login to access their chat server.  Current version is 0.97e beta.  Patch notes and Download link found here.

So, the NASA spacecraft New Horizons is set to visit Pluto in well... 28 hours.  I'm excited.  After all, we're already getting science from pictures like this:

Actually, it's browner than that, more of a tan color, but the color instrument isn't included in that photo.  It'll be a super-fast flyby, but we'll be getting data for months.  Anyway, I'm just looking forward to learning about everyone's favorite trans-Neptunian object.

We're off to our annual week-long multifamily, multihouse vacation on Long Beach Island.  Assuming the wifi works properly, you should see no real difference in my presence (except maybe I'll be more present than I have been of late).  Anyway, we hit the road tomorrow in the early afternoon and should be settled in by evening.
Edits:  I can spell, really I can.
