Counterpoint: You still can't put tabs below the address bar in Chrome.

(I didn't say it was a strong counterpoint. It's just something that gets on my nerves.)

Yes, because the other side doesn't want to have their side of the story shown. So really, given a choice on which side to believe, the side that has been presented, or the side that is locked in a desk drawer, well......

Ah, you understand the Republican philosophy perfectly.

Now, before anyone jumps in my shit and stirs, I'm not saying that the Democrats don't pull this kind of crapola too. They just don't tend to do it so overtly.

Actually, I'd rather suspect that the checkbox notifying us of the IT-cornholing Lamo is going to get from Anonymous (or other hacktivist organizations) would trigger first.

Task Forces (pre-50) tend to be easier, and since there's really no "phat lootz" in CoX, you don't have the same mentality as in, say, WoW.

See, that's the thing. In WoW, you can go "Oh look, this set of raid dungeons is 'end game'. In 4.2 (the content patch out next week) this other set of raid dungeons is 'end game'."

For a long time, CoX didn't have an end game, per se. Yes, there were certain types of mobs you really didn't fight until you were in the last couple levels of content, but by and large, they weren't horribly different from previous types of mobs. (The exception probably being some of the Malta Groups mobs.)

Now, and this is a fairly recent thing, there are 'end game' missions and raids which you either cannot even start until you are level 50 (the level cap), or that you cannot even start until you are level 50 and have acquired initial Incarnate abilities (the alternate advancement system).

Just please don't have Keanu Reeves in it.

Just to add to the fun, phishers are just sending out mass e-mails to anyone and everyone over this. I received one today, and I don't even have a playstation, much less a PSN account. (Note: check your links in any e-mails.... anything that goes to *.innovyx,net... don't click the link.)

Jack Thompson has been disbarred! Who will take up the "All gamers are violent sociopaths" banner?

Exactly. Because the right never does anything loony, like comparing Obama to Hitler.

Yes, but the Russian-trained dogs ran back at the Russian tanks because that's where they recognized the food (reward) coming from, and generally had to be shot by the Russians before they could set off their little doggy-backpack explosive charges.

I always imagine Daffy Duck standing in line, pointing to Spartacus and saying "He's Spartacus" and creeping out of line.

Only 5 mil? That's chump change. That doesn't even cover maintenance on orbital lasers, for Christ's sake.

But I've never seen a witch.

That's a good point, but it's not like there aren't a ton of super-villains running around in spandex either (Spider-Man movies notwithstanding). At least some of the heroes have some color coordination. Then you have villains like Electro, the Trapster, or the Wizard who have.... um... incredibly garish costumes.
