There's a new thing going up in the C-Store tomorrow. For 80CP, you get a "Services Grab Bag." It contains a random item of your level, green to purple, and a token for a C-Store service. It ranges from 80 point crap like boosters, up to global costume slots, retcons, character slots etc. It is a total gamble, though. Also going up tomorrow are 800 day vet rewards. You get a title, retcon token (for every character, existing and future), a costume slot (Again, every character), a free costume change token (Everyone), and 40 hideout shared bank slots.

Anyone got any experience with this? Last night we had a power outage. I was in the middle of playing Champions. When I started it up this morning it was running extremely slowly. I shut it down to try and figure out why, and when I started up the game again, my computer shut down mid-load screen. This happens every time I try to start the game, and only then. Now the game has been working fine for a week so far. No known issues with my rig, the game ran smoothly and everything worked fine until now. When I think about it, I was running extremely slowly in zombie apocalypse last night, but then again I joined at the very end of a match, with tons of zombies and aoe effects all over the place. Also, it wasn't nearly as slow as it was this mornin, when even the inklines around my character lingered for several seconds in place whenever I moved. I've googled the issue, and every solution I can find blames it on the PSU or overheating. It shouldn't be the PSU, it's more than adequate for what I've got running. I've done a complete wipedown of anything that could draw unnecessary amounts of CPU power, de-dusted my entire rig and tweaked my settings to keep the fans running at 100% at all times and set all the settings to failsafe. I've scanned for and removed viruses, and verified the game files. I'm out of options here, any ideas? e: Current core temperature is hovering at a comfortable 40 degrees, down from 70 after I de-dusted and optimized everything. Seems to shoot up to at least 51 when I get to the loading screen. Nastyman fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Nov 10, 2011 |

Have you tried other games, or just Champions? Does CO have a file checker? Maybe the power outage messed up some install files?

Okay, so probably not game or driver corruption. The only other thing I can think of is to do a RAM test. CO is notoriously RAM hungry, and maybe your problem is there and those other games just aren't triggering it.

Okay, got an idea for another CC. We name all the categories after SGs that do their own CCs. If nothing else, the ad will confuse the hell out of people. "Supergoons Costume Contest Saturday at 8. Categories are ARC, SPEAR, SODLAG, Dark Enforcers, All Stars and Blood Oathed Honor Bound." I can mix it up too: "A.R.C. Costume Contest category today at the Supergoons costume contest" etc. As for the actual categories, uh... ARC would be something with electricity. SPEAR would be Britney, obviously. SODLAG is formal wear. Dark Enforcers is Slutty (We can afford to get on their bad side. They suck.) All Stars would be Space and/or Smash Mouth Blood Oathed Honor Bound is orcs I guess.

Yo. Is there a place where one could find up to date guides and recommendations and whatnot? Like, for example, I'd be interested in tooling around with the Celestial power set, but I'd like to know if there are definite 'don't do this' or 'you pretty much have to do this please'. I tried googling but the links point to things posted years ago, and in an online game such as this I reckon that sort of information must become somewhat out of date after so long. So, uhm, yes.

Here are tonight's winners. In first and on the left, Mickey Man (Who should be obvious.) In second was Piffle, on the right, as Gadget from Rescue Rangers. In third and in the middle was Don Havoc, as Don Karnage from Talespin. Bluhman also made an awesome Blastoise.

Well, that's because I didn't get a screenshot of Garfield. Anyway, next CC we're going with the SG idea. We usually do 6 categories, so we need to decide on the 6. ARC, SPEAR, SODLAG and Dark Enforcers are a must. For one of the others, I'm thinking Red Academy for one so we can have a Soviet category. We also need to decide on what the theme is for some of them. ARC - Electricity seems to be the obvious one here. Or Medieval (because Joan of Arc.) SPEAR - Britney Spears. There's no debate. To make it gender fair, Britney Spears OR Kevin Federline. SODLAG - Formal wear most likely. Dark Enforcers - Probably slutty. Red Academy - Soviets ??? - ??? And of course Supergoons for the Worst category. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Nov 14, 2011 |

We need to set final categories for next week. Both the actual names, and the themes. If nothing better comes up, these are what we're going with: ARC - Electricity seems the best fit. SPEAR - Britney Spears for the women, Shakespeare for the men. One prize for each. SODLAG - Formal Red Academy - Soviet All Stars - Space And of course Supergoons for Worst. That gives us 6, plus the worst. Dark Enforcers annoys me. I don't want to use them even for a bad category.

I assume that the 35 year life expectancy is supposed to be a "no really guys it's not creepy and pedophillic 11 is actually pretty old" but then they go on about how she's young and is basically a child. That's not how living things with short lifespans work, but good luck convincing anyone otherwise.  Asimo posted:That reminds me, haven't seen much in the way of horrible bios in this thread yet. Don't think Virtue on CoH gets to have all the fun! Time for folks to go do some... field research. Fine, fine, I'll go hit up Club Caprice and write some more "research papers" sooner or later. If I don't drown in a pool of my own vomit first, that is. (or more likely just not find enough interestingly awful people to interrogate)

"Okay, I want to make a child hero, but I really don't want to miss out on that sweet, sweet ERP. What to do?" It's like Sophie's Choice, except Sophie is 12 and not of legal age to consent to that choice.

There's a new questline at 25 that lets you visit pre-pre-Crisis Vibora, and you missed Takofanes.

I'd recommend scrolling through the Champions Calendar for the months you missed, as it's easier than guessing which months you missed. Main things of interest: a bunch of new powers (several in Unarmed, a few Munitions powers stemming from the Become Black Talon device). Golden Age, Sci-Fi and Pulp costume sets. New archetypes, new hideouts, an anniversary and a Halloween event that you missed.

Of course, with hideouts, the most  of the roleplayers have hidden out of sight, though I did see two furries lesbianing it up just outside the tailor last night as well
