I haven't forgotten about this, either.  And now that I have finally finished watching MSLGN: Strikers, I can now say that Matteus raring to go.
I just wanna do more work on DSKS first...  *Sighs*  The times I wish I had a writing partner to work with over here...

I know there has been chatter fairly recently about Mass Effect and ME2.

I just figured I'd pass along the news that steam is having a ME Day (07/20), offer ends 10am Pacific time tomorrow:

Mass Effect is $4.99

Mass Effect 2 is $23.99

So if you haven't gotten Mass Effect, or ME2 (and haven't run into problems installing steam) now might be a good time.

Edit: ok, I somehow caught the tail end of this, as it is now over :/

One of the occupational hazards of having a meganekko-fan website is being asked who a particular character is - and not knowing. When this happens, I ask for help, so... Anybody recognize her?

While sticking Mal's "Infinities" list of Senshi rules onto http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... Millennium]the Senshi Talk page, I noticed this paragraph on http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... Millennium]the Senshi main page:

Quote:Senshi use the same kinds of weapons as everyone else in Fenspace. Some Senshi keep trying to create magical wands for fighting evil, but so far have had less than success. The cognitive disconnect of seeing short-skirted girls wielding firearms can be jarring at first.

...and, apparently, they were listening to the wi-fi signals they picked up.

I'm not a big fan of wardriving - if I wanted someone to know about my wi-fi router, I would have posted a sign - but that's just my opinion. Listening in on the communications detected while wardriving crosses the line to "illegal actions".

Why is Google allowed to do things like this?

That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
-- "No Quarter", by Echo's Children

It's hot and muggy here in lower Michigan -- 88 Fahrenheit according to one source -- and stepping out my door feels almost literally like walking into a sauna. Yet here in my apartment, although the air conditioner is not, I say again, not running, the temperature is in the low seventies (which is why it's not running). As I say, I'm not complaining, but I am perplexed.
The only notion that seems to make sense is that cool air from my upstairs neighbors' a.c. is leaking down here.

Be SURE to watch this in 720 HIRes and full screen!! Holy CRAP!!!
Color me GOB SMACKED!!!!

At 9PM EDT tonight (6/18) I'll be on Virtue looking for volunteers to help me test my new arc, "The Shadow Circle Rises!"  Ideally I'd love to have a full team of 8, both to stress-test the missions, and to get the "Among Friends" badge.  The arc is L40-50, and currently set to Neutral morality; if Villains want in, great -- I'll have Evangelia based in the RWZ AE for tonight's testing.
And just in case you're curious, this is how the arc gets displayed:
The Shadow Circle Rises!
Length: Very Long
Morality: Neutral
Mission 1: Medium size map, level range 40-54.  Contains Collection, Patrol, Defeat All Enemies.
Mission 2: Medium size map, level range 40-54.  Contains Ambush, Boss, Patrol, Release Captive, Escort.
Mission 3: Large size map, level range 40-54.  Contains Boss, Collection, Patrol.
Mission 4: Large size map, level range 40-54.  Contains Ambush, Boss, Collection, A Destructible Object, Patrol.
Enemy Groups: Rikti, Custom Group
Description: A new villain organization with surprising resources has appeared on the scene, and is poised to challenge or even supplant Arachnos.  Can you short-circuit the Shadow Circle's bid for ultimate power?
WARNING! Storyarc May Contain: Archvillains, Elite Bosses, Extreme Bosses, Enemies with custom power selections!
