Today: new copy of broken movie made, 2nd call in to doctor made (and came up snake eyes, again), Xmas lights hung out side, trip to the store for more lights and diner stuff, returned/removed lights/rehung lights (and just got bright idea about how to handle the one place I couldn't, which means going out and rehanging a section AGAIN), and

for Torchlight, there is an excellent mod for it that really helps the game have a longer lifespan.

I've been enjoying city of heroes being f2p, though not having access to inventions is kind of annoying. However, I can buy access to them for $2 a month, and since I'm nowhere near the level cap, I don't need access to the incarnate stuff. I do plan to someday make it there though, as it looks like a lot of fun. Which server did you play on?

I don't know if you are interested at all, but I and a bunch of others are having an absolute blast with SWTOR. If you've played/enjoyed other Bioware games, it's got the best of all their games, IMO, mixed into a very well polished MMO environment.

- I have a couple diff mods on TL, and it''s nice that they allow that kind of customization.

- In my heyday, I had multiple characters on all servers, something like 55 different toons. If/when i come back, I'm sure I'll do a major cull of them, but I had at least 12 at top level.

- I grew up as a SW kid, but oddly enough, SWTOR doesn't appeal to me nearly as much as I'd thought it would. Another factor is that even though I know several peopel in it, the three hour ime difference would make it difficult to get any real playtime with them. I dunno, we'll see.

Whoa, 12 at top level? You definitely played more than I did. I think my highest is a ninja blade/ninjutsu stalker at 35.

Ah yes, time zone differences do make it difficult. I remember for a while I was playing WC3 custom maps with someone in Egypt, and it was the oddest hours where our gaming times synced up.

Yeah, I played a LOT. That's part of why I dropped out of it, was that i felt like I'd seen it all and done it all. Now that I've been gone for a couple years, I shouldn't be so burned out on it.

Just got the time to read through some of those bios, nice creative characters you have there :). My favorite of mine thematically is my robot/traps mastermind. The nefarious Cap'n Metal Beard and his crew of robo space pirates.

While some aspects of f2p for it are lame (i really wish, as a previous paying customer, that i had permanent access to the invention system), i do like the rate at which they've been adding content lately, especially new power sets. I went ahead and bought the Titan weapon one, and even at low levels it is so much fun!

City of heroes is an odd game for me, as every time I play it I really enjoy it, but I always forget about it afterwards. Once I get myself started I'll play for hours, but I never seem to remember that it's an option. Probably because no one I know plays anymore.

My old running buds and I made a wiki for ourselves (that link), but i never got around to finishing all my character entries. I loved coming up with backstories for my characters. I also really love the bases that can be built. I used to spend days logged in, working on bases. Check soem of them out here. Now that I'm back in, i need to take control back of a couple of my supergroups.

I plan on buying the new powersets (400 points a ,month for paying players, nice touch!). Right now, I started a new pistol blaster to check out Praetoria. My global handle is @Archmage Chaos.
