Good Things About CoH Shutting Down

[Steelclaw]

Delusions... er... I mean REASONS CoH shutting down may have been a good thing....

•   Those midget griefers who kept trying to wreck my CoH time?  Apparently they were my kids...

•   My In-Laws are not... in fact... a Nemesis Plot.

•   I no longer accuse my cat of being a "Double Agent for Arachnos!" whenever she walks in front of my monitor or on my keyboard.

•   Muttering "Doc Delilah" in my sleep was making my wife suspicious.

•   My Vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sunlight seems to have cleared up.

•   I no longer refer to buying a coordinated business suit as "ordering a costume pack"...

•   I can now watch a zombie movie in the theater without screaming "Stay away from the ones with the backpacks!"

•   Seeing a bus at a bus stop no longer makes me stop and stare in wonder.

•   Getting bad directions does not make me suspect Fusionette works for OnStar in her secret identity.

•   No more endless list-making.

It is now obvious global warming was due to all of the Fire characters made
Record ice in the Arctic means a few Ice controllers slipped out before the close
A complete lack of Hurricanes means stormies are gone for good.

[Floride]

• This year I'll get real candy when I go trick or treating
• For the first time in years I actually have more money than influence
• Stolen purse thefts have decreased 80 billion percent
• I no longer interfere with police business using a scanner
• Frisbees now hit me in the head occasionally

[Triplash]

• It's become clear to me that I do NOT run like a ninja. No matter how much I go "Whoosh! Whoosh!" when I try.
• I've realized that just saying the words "Emote drink!" does not refill my drink.
• I am now 100% certain that I can walk much faster than I can hover.
• I can finally stop waiting for people on the street to say that someone should make an action figure of me.
• I have grudgingly admitted that the kitchen table is NOT a portable work bench, and those bits of junk I found are NOT going to become a jetpack, regardless of how much duct tape I use.
• I've stopped suspecting that every person who wears a fedora is really working for the mafia.  (... But I'm still sure some are...  >.>  )
• I no longer think that jumping down the nearest sewer grate will make me stronger and more experienced.
• I've stopped ordering things off Ebay and trying to pay for them with "the gratitude of the people I've saved".    ... Cause Ebay sellers don't accept that.     ... And they weren't too keen that I tried, either.
• I've stopped believing that a huge flash of light is going to burst out of me on my next birthday.
• And finally, I no longer believe that if I'm performing poorly at a task, there are 42 other versions of me that I could try using instead.

[Eoraptor]

• I now realize that when people are crowded around a scantily clad woman, it's just a celebrity and she cannot grant me the ability to fly to the top of the nearest building. (other than pharmaceutically)
• Accepting alignment missions only work for bankers and politicians when changing sides
• The sky outside my window is not broken... it really does take twenty four hours to cycle, and I should stop submitting bug reports
• Train stations that drop me off in dangerous parts of town in the middle of the night are not going to earn me a new costume from the scantily clad woman on the corner... maybe herpes, but not a new costume
• The gas station charging $1.89 for lipton pure leaf tea is NOT a Nemesis plot.

[OzonePrime]

Too funny guys! :)

[Floride]

• Human Blood Samples are no longer appropriate recipe ingredients

[PunkusJR]

I'd say you guys not suspecting things as nemesis plots is actually a bad thing. You're gonna let him get the upper hand.

- I no longer think setting dead bodies on fire will bring them back to life

[Alpha Series]

                     

   I don't have to wait for the next neighborhood to load! I just drive right into it!

And you guys are outrageously funny!!! Thanks!!!

[Flow-Vector]

It is ALWAYS a nemisis plot

[Blondeshell]

• I'm no longer tempted to base jump without a parachute because I know I won't die when I land
• I've realized that the music I hear as I walk through town is actually coming from my headphones
• I can now go to the park without being afraid of becoming a ritual sacrifice
• I'm no longer confused by office buildings with logically-designed floorplans
• I drive less defensively because traffic doesn't sporadically change lanes or make u-turns
• I no longer have to touch a historical marker in order to read it

[Eoraptor]

I dunno, I've been to some pretty creepy parks out there :roll:

[Yoru-hime]

• I've finally quit climbing to the top of public buildings and ranting about the lack of an exploration marker.
• The Fitness Pool is not inherent here. We're expected to perform these bizarre rituals called exercises if we want health and stamina.
• Local officials no longer have to worry about me showing up at a burning building, beating the onlookers senseless, then demanding an extinguisher so I can get promoted to Chief.
• I quit failing my driver's test while trying to guess what kind of achievements would unlock the Master badge.
• While it seems awfully simplistic, there is only one currency in this country. I cannot pay in Astrals, Empyreans, Reward Merits, Vanguard Merits, Hero Merits or anything else.
• I accept that there is no one at City Hall that can help me respec into knowing French, no matter how long I've spent standing in front of the microwave at 7-11.

With city of heroes shutting down, in accordance to the ultra rich belief that the poor should suffer as much as possible untill they are no longer poor while at the same time everything should be designed to keep the poor, poor, I am certainly suffering as much as possible just for being poor :/.

The boredom must be great for me according to their logic.

Edit, added a few good things:I'm forced to play other games, ironicly the one I enjoy most is minecraft which I find to actually be fun, and another that was fun to me(Champions online() but gets boring quickly for me other then roleplaying.  Thats a good thing, yay.

I am more disillusioned about reality, guess that's a good thing to.  Oh, eh not really.  But hey, being a "realist" is fun.  You get to justify sarcasm with it, I love sarcasm.

Come on down to El Paso.

[Eoraptor]

• When I take my party members trick or treating (henceforth to be referred to as nieces and nephews, not party members) Witches, Sorceresses, Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies that I encounter will NOT try to kill me or them, and I should leave my titanium wrist claws at home and just use the foam ones that came with the Wolverine costume.

[Floride]

Thank you Steelclaw! This is officially my FAVORITE thread! ROFL (rolling on frisbees laughing)

[JWBullfrog]

I've accepted that...

   
• no matter how long I hang around the police station, they will not give me a 15 use nightstick.
• Standing around near statues in colorful clothes will not prompt strangers to give me money.
• My jumping height is capped at about 6 inches.
• Sewers are filled with all sorts of unpleasant things, but Circle of thorns isn't one of them
• I cannot hold 50 items of various shapes sizes and weights in my pockets

[Steelclaw]

A few more...

* In any given building with an elevator I can go straight to the top floor and no longer feel the urge to go up one floor then leave the elevator to find the NEXT elevator to take me to the next higher floor.

* I am more careful now about getting my clothing wet as I now realize that jumping in lakes, ponds, fountains or sewers will result in my getting wet and STAYING wet rather than drying/de-odorizing the moment I step out of it.

* I am out of shape.  I have no cardiovascular endurance whatsoever.  Getting a tattoo reading "Stamina:" with three blue disks after it does not change this fact.

* Azuria had nothing to do with my keys going missing.

* The fact that my Doctor's first name is Delilah is a coincidence.  It is good that I realized this PRIOR to the restraining order... .... ..... this time.

* Just because I CAN leap onto the roof/hood of a moving car and not just slide off does not mean I SHOULD.

* When my friends and I are waiting outside a restaurant or movie theater for the last member of our group to finally show up... I no longer dance emote to pass the time.



The following is neither a good list nor a bad one... It is however, confusing, as I was SURE these things were actually Nemesis Plots.  However, since he no longer has access to this world, I am forced to admit there must be another... perhaps more sinister... reason for these phenomenon.

* Justin Bieber
* Anything named Kardashian (or, as I call it, LardAssIan)
* The Republican Presidential Candidate Strategy
* Twerking
* Reality Show Programming
* "Eh, the moon is far enough" attitude that got NASA shut down
* Disney getting Geek-Cred
* Super Heroes left my computer only to end up in every movie theater in the country
