You think Rush is a scumbag, you should hear Tom Leykis. -_- American talk radio is 95% abominable, which is why I cling to the shows I do like with such vigor.

You can remove the 'American' from that and leave it at talk radio being 95% abominable, I think!

Ah-ha, that's where I've been going wrong all these years. Silly me thought brainy women are hot.

We've just started playing City of Heroes, and we're having a lot of fun with it. Maybe it's because we're playing on the quieter of the two EU servers, but the in-game comments are very relaxing, with none of the 'U R gay!' stuff which used to pop up in the chat window all the time when archie_gremlin was playing Battlefield 1942 online. Even the forums are quite even-tempered. (Plenty of people still bitter about how their characters were nerfed six patches ago, but that seems to be standard anywhere). And there's a reporting system for people using bad language or with offensive character names.

Although there are plenty of buxom female characters running around, the character creation is just fabulous and you can go anywhere on the cover-up scale from full robes and hood to a spandex bikini.

I'm already lurking quietly on city_of_heroes, if that's the one you mean. Although I don't understand about 80% of the jargon in the posts, yet. :-)

Don't be afraid to post and ask. :)

The only problematic member I've seen is problematic because he usually just bitches about the game. He's been bettter lately.

Alas no place is free of the scourge of fuckwits who hate women. If you are interested in Tauren and end up playing go to Cenarion Circle Server! as we can give you free stuffs!

Also Auroch type horns are comming in the new expansion :)

City of Heroes/Villians has minotaur costume options, including a wide range of horns.

If you want a trial code, let me know. I know some Australians who play on the US servers ( and some Brits as well )
