When I try to browse the forums I just get a blank page, however the list of all forums is working fine and I can use the last post link in the overall list to
get to a post. This is more than slightly annoying.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Just saw this tonight. Ok. NOW I'm ready for the summer movie season ROIT! ^_^



Hot DAMN!!� I loved the first one, and looks like they are properly upping the ante!

Civilian to Costume transformation!

To be brutally honest, this is a set of Levelling/chaos maps.

Mission one is a copy of Terr's infamous "BP World:" Graveyard Map, LOTS of BP

Mission two is an outdoor city map Chock Full of high-level 5th Column.

Both maps are set up on the 45+ paradigm. So, a "bare" lowbie is up against the Purple patch and gets mad xps/tix/inf if there's a 50 in the
team.

These may be difficult or Just plain easy depending on build and difficulty solo. I was fortunate enough to get an 8-man team runthrough after publishing it.
The major complaints, other than common "Story? What Story?" were mainly about the length of the maps.

I'm open for suggestions for "Case Files" to expand on for the "frame" story.

Existing casefiles include "Terrence Knight's Wanderings" and "Place Kicker's Memoirs."

Some of you know this already -- my dad has suffered from Parkinson's with dementia for about ten years now. It's been several years since he's reliably recognized me, a couple years since he could move under his own power, and about six months since he became bed-bound.

In the last few weeks, he's been intermittently refusing food and water, and it's finally taken its toll -- he's reached a point where his organs are likely to shut down in a few days if nothing is done. The only measures that can be taken at this point, though, are explicitly forbidden by the terms of his living will. His doctor has told my mom to not take him to the hospital, as it would only prolong the inevitable. Plus doing so would break the agreement she has with the hospice agency which has taken on a fair chunk of the cost of his care and which provides a lot of services for that care. The agency has, by the way, indicated that it will provide narcotic patches that will make sure that he is not suffering during these last hours -- but he also appears to have suffered a small stroke that has wiped out any vestiges of personality which had retained up to this point; I'm not entirely sure he's actually "in there" any more.

Even so, it was me my mother turned to me in order to "help" her decide whether to send him to the hospital or not.

Weighing everything I've cited above plus a few things that are private to the family, I had to counsel her not to.

So. I am right now sitting at home, hoping my father does not die before Peggy and I can get down there tomorrow, feeling a welter of emotions including but not limited to a certain anger that I was the one essentially forced to make the decision to let my father die (for all my mother claimed to be asking my advice, she was really asking me to take the decision out of her hands). And feeling a need to spill this out somewhere. And lacking a blog proper, this is my most prominent forum (pun not intended).

It's not going to be a good weekend, no matter what happens.

No, really.

Makes me wonder what would happen if they played around in an online world with more persistent consequences. Like say, EVE Online.

okay, i've given it a few solo tests and tweaked it as much as i think i can, try it out and tell me what you like/hate, i'll try to be open to
critasiems

Figured I would appeal to the vast knowledge and experience of this group of people to humbly garner advice.

My laptop is nearing it's end and would like to get a replacement. I've been using my laptop (Gateway Tablet CX2618) for watching videos, archiving,
and, of course, Internet usage.

Now, I would love to play WoW on it, as well as keeping up on my archiving and videos. ...and Internet usage too.

I look forward to seeing what you suggest.

(Bob, didn't you just recently pick up a laptop for CoH?)

So, somebody forgot to tell the NYC mayor's office that a large aircraft would be flying very low in Manhattan airspace, for a photo-op. Never mind that it's this aircraft; who in his right mind would have thought to stage a low-level flight over Manhattan less than eight years after 9/11 and barely twelve weeks after the Hudson crash without telling everybody and their pet dogs, in advance, loudly?

I'm guessing somebody's in trouble...
