Does my car count?

Nice! The wife has "States" and I have "Tyrant" license plates on ours. :)

Someone over at ThinkGeek decided to mourn CoH in an image for a product they just started selling.

 Pretty cool, actually. Who ever painted that figure did a pretty good job.

Beat me to it. Saw the email ad this morning and thought something looked a little familiar.

I just saw that too.  If I had any artistic talent I'd think of picking up a set to try and recreate some of my characters.

I don't have any specific ones, but I get flashes, like things in passing that remind me of the game, the way passing a certain thing, like a park bench or something, reminds you of an ex-girlfriend or passed relative. Seeing a subway on a commercial gives me the strongest deja vu for the Underground in Praetoria, for instance.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

I guess I shouldn't be Surprised I don't see Pulsar in there :/ I was on for awhile with the vigils in Paragon but then I devoted the remaining days on COH beta playing content that would never see the light of day on live.

A music store here in Tampa.



I know that store and yeah, it makes me think of CoH when I see it.

Necro!

My son is playing Legend of Zelda:Skyward Sword, and something keeps causing Link (or someone; I'm not really paying attention) to whistle. The sound effect is the exact same whistle sound effect used for the MM:Thugs Summon power.

I have had occasional washes of nostalgia while playing other games, but this was the first one from someone else playing something in the other room.
