Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game I think I'm currently on Protector, but I'm not sure. I'm trying to get to mission in an abandoned warehouse against a gang called the Skulls, if that means anything. EDIT: Yep, Protector with my current character -- Lord Kronstien, Level 4 mutant swordsman (Scrapper). The warehouse is so distant that I've never even gotten close to it. If I could team up with somebody, that would probably help, but who'd take on a noob?

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game One problem I'm having on one of my servers (the one I've played on most) during the demo) is that the mission site for my current arc is VERY far away from City Hall and the Medical Center. I have yet to even get close to it. Right now I have to turn around and go back to Atlas park to get trained up to Level 4, then go right back out and try to get to the mission site. I don't even know what it looks like. I sure wish I had a movement power to make things easier, but I have no idea how movement powers work.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Darn, it was more interesting the other way.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game The good news is that the game is running without difficulties on my nigh-antiquated computer. The bad news is that I keep getting ambuished by gangbangers who are faster than I am and gang up on me in groups. These are quite far away from my current mission site, but they're everywhere with no way to avoid them and are usually one to three levels higher than I am (I currently am stuck at Level 2), with the result that I'm spending a lot of time in the hospital. At least I was able to find the trainer to GET to Level 2. Last time, on a different server, I couldn't. As a result, I don't feel especially super at the moment.

Re: Answers & Questions

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Just got a trial account (it expires on April 24th) and was wondering if someone would contact me privately and tell me how the heck to play this game, much less use the Mission Architect. I tried a Blaster and got through the tutorial just fine, but I never found the trainer for level 2. This made me woefully unprepared for the first mission I was given and I ended up getting killed by some street thugs. I was, of course, teleported back to the hospital and resurrected, but I'm wondering what I have to do to, among other things, make the camera do what I want it to and to find that skill trainer -- The pointer I thought went to her went to another contact instead.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares And have you slain Dargon (the Destructor) lately?

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat Hot Pink Ping-Pong Balls. We never said Foxbat had taste....

Re: Utraman No, these were syndicated episodes from the 1960s -- the same run (I think) that Oddhat's been watching in Japanese with English subtitles. They were on a borderline-bootleg tape I'd rented at a video store to check out for MSTing potential for the con. Joel and the Bots frequently mocked classic (and not-so-classic) Japanese TV series that were badly dubbed into English. One example is the submarine adventure Mighty Jack, much beloved in Japan.
