New efforts!

It's more accurate to say that Tony Kord was an homage to both Ted Kord and Tony Stark.

[Felderburg]

Regardless - people can search the wiki themselves if they're interested, because it is mentioned on the page for Tony Kord...

People can also see all sorts of homages or "references:" http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ingame_References

Bravo.

This has basically been me for the last 2 years...

Just to call back to a previous topic of discussion...

I was re-reading Pratchett and Gaiman's book Good Omens, and the name that the "gang" Adam and his three friends form is called "The Them".

So I hereby declare the name "the THeM" for the negotiating team to be a good omen. :D

If you had started one the day the game shut down, you'd probably just be about finished....now.  :)

Actually by shutdown time you could run Doc Q pretty quickly (relatively speaking anyway).  I ran one on Pinnacle like a month before the shutdown notice came, we completed it in 3:37 (https://web.archive.org/web/20120906171151/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showpost.php?p=4321548&postcount=25).  Team teleport powers + stealth (thank god we got a Stalker on the team) helps a LOT.

Sigh, memories...

[Felderburg]

Because now everyone reading it is imagining you saying those things aloud.  Slowly.

Oh?

...I'm not. I don't generally read internet forums imagining people saying things aloud, unless there is a specific reference to a person or celebrity whose voice I should be reading something in. Like Morgan Freeman. (If I change my avatar pic to his, would everyone read my posts like him?)

[darkgob]

I'm actually a chat bot

I think XKCD just published a cartoon depicting your creation:

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

Now that you mention it, specifically whose voice you imagine it speaking in matters a great deal.  Slow can be imposing.  Think of Jules at the beginning of Pulp Fiction.  Imagine that post spoken in the cadence of Jules:

Copy - right law ... deals with real live actual people.

Trade - mark ... deals with intellectual properties.

Trademark laws ... are the equivalent ... of copyright laws - but for corporations and their intellectual properties.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and fur-r-r-rious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my posts, and you will know my name is LateNight, when I lay - my - vengeance - upon - thee...


You know what?  From now on everyone should just read all my posts as if Jules is saying it.  The next time Joshex posts anything about physics, Jules is going to refute him.  The next time someone asks why there's no new news, Jules is going to respond.  You read the forums?  Well, there's this passage I've got memorized, sorta fits the occasion.  "No, we do not know anything about the deal.  Yes, they are under an NDA.  Yes, efforts are still ongoing."

I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?  Please continue.

I haven't seen Pulp Fiction.

I haven't seen Pulp Fiction.

It's pretty cool - the movie that is...

I'm Australian - small world huh?

If on logging in to check this thread you find half a dozen new pages you know one of two things is going on: either there is news about the game or someone has picked a fight with Arcana...

[Vee]

Wait, so I'm the only one who imagines everyone on the internet sounding like Gilbert Gottfried?

I always imagined the internet looks like it smells like pee so you're not far off.

Not if you have to fly to Australia.
