I met a 21 year old girl from Michigan named Brit last night. She is named so because her parents had moved from England to America just before having her. She's about 5'8" with short brown hair and brown eyes. She's an advertising major, specializing in art direction. She's really easy to talk to. She was dressed as an iPod shuffle. I talked to her...

Worse month of my fucking life.

1) Cut my hand open, severing the tendon to my ring finger.
2) Rear ended some guy's Volvo on the middle of the Bay Bridge.
3) Locked my keys in my truck THREE times. Third time with the lights still on.
4) Missed all my midterms because I was getting surgery. Have to make them up.
5) Oh and...

I just typed this huge fucking post about a bunch of bullshit that I really needed to get off my chest and then accidentally hit a link to another page, thereby erasing every damn word I typed.

So this is all you get.
bluetrust:
Haha. That's the worst.

Lankakitten and I have City of Villains pre-ordered. We participated a little in the beta (mostly just screwing around and helping test large scale battles in the PVP zones) and it's pretty awesome. There's another five new archetypes to choose from and that's just awesome:

Brutes - are like melee blasters/tanks, they can easily one shot kill minions after their rage meter goes up. But their defenses are maxed at like 40% or something. I think they have an in-built resistance to holds so they're a controller's worst nightmare.

Corruptors - have blaster primaries, and defender-style secondaries. So a fire/fire corruptor would be a fire blaster with heals and fire shields for his buddies.

Masterminds - Have a pet primary and a defender-style secondary. So a robots/force field mastermind would summon seven to nine robots to fight for him, and he could bubble them so they'll be nearly impossible to destroy. They're fucking fun to play. Other pet primaries include zombies, mercenaries, and ninjas.

Stalkers - Are like blaster/scrappers with an in-built stealth. Basically, they're rogues and can one-shot kill other players. I didn't try one as it seemed that they're pretty weak out of stealth. I dig that they have a ninja primary and secondary for this AT though, one could make Batman pretty easily out of a stalker I think.

Dominators - Are like blaster/controllers. They can hold an enemy in place and finish them off themselves, good soloers. They've got an ability called "dominate" that makes their holds last twice as long as usual.

From what I gather, the new archetypes seem to make more sense if you think about them as being direct counters to the current archetypes. Like brutes could down a controller in two punches, dominators could hold scrappers and finish them off at a distance, stalkers could one-shot kill blasters, masterminds can debuff tank defenses while their minions pour on the damage. Corruptors don't seem to fit though, they're like defenders, team-players, but offensive-oriented.

So that's what we're going to play. City of Villains also has custom bases, large-scale PVP, items, and a half-dozen new zones. October 31st it goes live. I'm stoked. It's a good upgrade to the original game and fixes its flaws.
bluetrust:
Haha!

No. You didn't do a bad thing reactivating your account. We reactivated our accounts earlier this month.

To get access to the City of Villains content, you need to buy the City of Villains expansion at a video games store. So that's $49.95, but at least there's no additional monthly fee or anything like that. I'm going to try to find it at Gamestop in a couple minutes.

We're doing Halloween stuff on Monday, when it goes live though, so we probably won't be on 'till Tuesday night. Lankakitten wants to switch to the Triumph server.

I'm still trying to figure out what archetype I'm going to play: Brute, Corruptor, Mastermind?

Sweet. I have internet once again. I got surgery on my hand yesterday. It feels like they cut my hand open and scraped around inside with a dull kitchen knife.

Good times. biggrin

Well, since you're recovering from surgery, did they give you some nice drugs to appreciate life with?

That certainly is a bigger scratch. What the hell happened to you? It looks like something not only cut into your hand but took a chunk of flesh away with it.

I fell over a table and somehow put my hand through a pint glass. Yes, yes I was drunk.
