Thank you, and for some reason, I always thought I had more screenshots than I do. **sigh**

I don't think it's possible to have too many screenshots, and even with the thousands I took, there are still a lot of things that it feels like I didn't document as well as I should have... Individual characters, specific locations and maps, the iTrial leagues I loved to run with... I find myself wishing I'd started my project five years before I actually did.

Monkey Fight Club


RIC


Skyline (Nerva)


Nick's Delicious Weenies! (People in the Rogue Isles were apparently big on Nick's Weenies. The places were EVERYWHERE, so there must have been something on the menu that was popular.)


Night Ward Theater


Motels were all over the place, too, but never had signs. One role-playing friend took to including them in her fiction pieces as the "No Names Motel" chain. They were shady establishments, at best.


Islands North of Talos


Saint Martial Swampland


You guys are NOT FOOLING ANYONE. We know you're not trees. >_<

Ah yes, the Paladin "lint trap" of Kings Row.  At least you know where to find them if you would like to clear a few so a Paladin build event would start so you could go for the badge.

I usually just taunted them over the the drones by the north gate.

These magnificent pictures capture everything in CoH for me, everything I love and everything I miss so much.
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

That ship needs a good raiding...


The Tsoo don't know where we all went, either.

... Or to Talos


Where does he get those marvelous toys?  ;D


Wentworths? Who needs Wentworths?


Zombie picnic?


Go Team Freak!

And with this post I've finally come to the end of my "best of-" screen shots...
I may do a second pass through the collection, or post a few more after I've had a chance to go through and FRAPs some of our demo recordings and special maps I missed, but the updates won't be regular (much less daily-) like they have been.

So, for now I'll leave you with two of the very last screens I took in-game... Palrah and Kestrel's goodbyes. 





See you later, guys. 8)

Under Grandville

I have always wondered: was there anything to do in the Grandville tunnel?  It wasn't that great a short cut and I think I've only encountered the bomb booby trap once (not that I went through it a lot, though).  Or was it just a flavor piece of the zone and something for people who like to explore.

It was a good alternate way for non-fliers to get around, if you knew the tunnels... plus the Dev Dungeon easter egg was down there for the explorer types. Otherwise, it was just a curiosity.

Great shots...You must have a nice graphics card.
Do you take requests?  :roll:

I like the images on ** Insert some comment about "happy little trees" here **
and "From the Earth..."

They would make nice wallpaper on my desktop.

Both the new card and Lucifer (the new machine it's sitting in-) have served me well. XD

And actually, I could potentially do requests... As long as I have a demo file of the location or character you want (or if you can get me the map name to make one for an instanced location-), there's nothing to keep me from starting the demo up, going in with FRAPs and documenting whatever you want... If I don't have it in the "unposted" part of the collection already, since the images I posted here are just the favorites, and so a pretty small fraction of the project as a whole.

What were you interested in having shots of, Maid?

ETA: Here's the full-scale "From the Earth..." image. I had it as my own desktop for awhile. XD
