    Who's a Hotty?

    Number one for me, with no contest, is Rudolf Martin. He played Vlad the Impaler in a made for TV movie a few years back, and followed up with a guest appearance on Buffy as Dracula. I never really thought the word "smoldering" could be accurately applied to a person before then. Second choice...

    [June] What are you playing?

    At home it's mostly City of Heroes, with some Galaxies thrown in on occasion. I'm also trying to catch the last two fish for my collection in Animal Crossing. When I'm on the go, I've got Activision Anthology in my GBA (for H.E.R.O. mostly), and at work its NetHack. (When I'm not working. For...

    City of Heroes

    Sorry to hear that Hatchling. :( Don't know if it matters, but the first big update is supposed to go live soon, adding new types of instanced indoor missions, plus instanced outdoor missions and a couple new areas and villain groups. Still, if its the gameplay that bores you, I doubt these...

    Memorable movie speeches.

    "Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian Leyte, we'd just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half hour...

    City of Heroes

    Sounds good to me. Date and time? (Ack, just noticed that Champion and Infinity are tied now. :P Any CoH players who haven't voted yet care to break that?)

    Dark Corners of the Earth

    Me too. I've also been keeping an eye on this one, since the last E3, I think. :) Interestingly enough, they've announced two additional Cthulhu titles as well: Beyond the Mountains of Madness for PC, and Tainted Legacy for PS2 (supposing, I guess, that DCotE does well).

    City of Heroes

    Well, so far it looks like Champion is in the lead. Maybe we should start thinking about group name, colors, and leader(s)? By the time we get that sorted out, we should be able to settle on a server. I kind of like EN League, originally mentioned by Zhure. Or maybe the League of Extraordinary...

    City of Heroes

    Great! I put in my vote, but of course, I'll play on any server. On another note, the official City of Villains site has gone live. Not too much there yet, but the info page does mention a few interesting tidbits. I'm cautiously optimistic. :)

    City of Heroes

    True, I would probably be more surprised if the PvP wasn't consentual. Plus, as DMScott pointed out, it will likely be awhile before I'll even need to worry about it. I started in the beta around the same time you did, roughly a month before launch, and from what I can tell, the game has...

    City of Heroes

    I always find this a difficult question to answer unless I'm speaking to someone whose tastes I'm familiar with. For myself, the answer is a resounding yes. I have a lot of fun playing this game, with my biggest problem being deciding which character, of the dozen or so I've created so far, to...

    City of Heroes

    Good stuff to note. In addition, if you have two (or more) slots on a power, you can slot in more than one of the same enhancement type (they'll stack... which of course came as a complete surprise to me :) ) For example, my level 8 radiation based defender has two 10+ accuracy debuffs slotted...

    Online RPGs

    Guild Wars (http://www.guildwars.com/) is an upcoming MMORPG I recently heard about. While I don't believe the game itself will be free, the people behind it have said that there will be no monthly fees. Galaxies runs about $15 per month if you pay on a monthly basis. The price goes down if...

    City of Heroes

    I'd love to be part of an ENWorld Supergroup, or just bash evil heads with other folks from these parts. I'm currently addicted to the character creator and have made a toon on just abuot every server. These are the ones I play the most: Justice: Killer Tomato (Science Defender, Radiation...

    City of Heroes - finally, a GOOD MMORPG?

    Never having played EQ, I couldn't really give opinions on how CoH differs from that experience. I can say that coming from SWG, City of Heroes feels, for lack of a better phrase, less MMOG-y. Heh, I'm not really sure if that makes sense... for me its kind of like playing a superhero action...

    City of Heroes - finally, a GOOD MMORPG?

    One of the things I was pleasantly surprised about is that every archetype seems to be solo-viable; you don't have to group in order to have fun or progress your character. There were a few occasions where I went on a mission and found the baddies too tough to handle alone, but in those cases I...

    Star Wars Galaxies Space Expansion Info

    Sounds that way. From the IGN interview: "We also hope to have well-known capital ships from Star Wars lore in the game as NPC-controlled opponents that will be central to epic battles."

    Star Wars Galaxies Space Expansion Info

    For anyone who's been looking forward to this, the first info has been put up on the main site: http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/expansions.jsp There's also a few more tidbits in this interview at IGN: http://pc.ign.com/articles/507/507737p1.html?fromint=1 In a nutshell: 2 new species...

    [April] What are you playing this month?

    I think it ships on the 28th. I got in on the pre-order beta. :) Personally, I'd have to say yes. Check out Zad's comments in this thread. He sums up what you can expect pretty well.
