History: This blog is the third incarnation, and started as a paper RPG & desktop gaming blog.  After starting the MMO City of Heroes days after its launch in 2004,  It developed into one dedicated to that MMO, as it remained for nearly eight years. On November 30, 2012 that MMO was shut down by the company NCSoft despite an outpouring of fan support and community outrage.  Starting In December 2012, I'm going to be opening up the focus of the blog to cover ANYTHING gaming I'm playing, be it PC, XBox 360, iPad, Dragon*Con, etc.

That being said, their will be images from various games posted on this blog.  No claim here is made to the games, and no intent to infringe on any copyrights are inferred.   Copyrights are property of the respective companies.

My Main in the Cosmic Council...  Another brute.  Using the Cyborg arm option I was able to give him a stone arm.   This is a recreation of a character made in the last few months of the live game.  The logo and arm color has changed.

I'm going to try and set up some automatic posts for the near future.   I've been under the weather with leg and fever issues -- Not Covid since I've been vaccinated for a month give or take.    We'll see.

This toon is my main in the Mutant Academy SG,  a variation on an old theme.   She is an Energy/Energy Sentinel build that I've gotten to level 37.

The SG has been a little quiet -- I think one of the leadership is likewise under the weather.  Hopefully we'll get going soon enough

City Bouncing...

I've spent a lot of time on some of the other servers.   I have been doing a role playing stream with pr_OGamer on twitch on Saturday afternoons on the Unity server.  Time has bounced around from 2PM CST to later.  Check it out here - pr_OGamer.  Sadly I've missed the last two weeks due to my health.  I'm not as young as I used to be...
I've been playing Dynamo.  Its been interesting -- especially since I've had to play with different microphone and headphone equipment to get it to work.  Admittedly its been an odd journey... since we started in Praetoria with most of us wanting to migrate to the hero side.   On Unity that isn't a quick fix -- and requires doing a lot of tip missions.


Homecoming has attracted my interest of late.  I left it ages ago because it banned streaming -- most probably as a tactic to avoid legal hassles from you-know-who.  But I've gotten back into it. Of all the servers out there, it has the biggest population by far.   I've been on Excelsior there.  I've been exploring old alts and making new ones.  I've even started making covers again under the Cryptic Comics logo.   I'll be posting some soon.   I've been on a few Discord sites with some.  I might have to start making a list of invites for those groups and get it on the links page.  Been so long since I've updated that I'd be surprised if anything works.. 


I have to admit that there is a strange mixed bag of sites on Homecoming when it comes to SG bases.  Some are very small -- Little more than Med bay, teleportbay and a few storages. Others are very elaborate.  Base designers seem to be in short supply though. From the old setup base building has changed.  When the game was live you had to earn prestige to be able to expand the base.  ;Prestige is no longer earnable and there is an infinite supply. So 1 person SG could make a super-elaborate base before ever recruiting a single member.  No badge hunting to earn teleport sites.   AND they have added so many objects to the base builder that weren't in it originally.    You don't see as many bases with objects combined or forming artificial walls and such.  It is rather mind-blowing if you have the creativity to make them into something.  It has been so long since I did any base design work, and I was by no means an expert.  I can't say I'm not eager to try.


I've got rampant altism on Excelsior that is for sure.  I've over 30 characters made, but I've only been focusing on a half dozen or so.   There are some busy groups out there, but being East coast, I'm not finding many members on early in the day on weekends.  Most appear to be night owls, and at least one is in an Japan/Australian time zone.  But I've been doing covers of most of those that I've been playing.  You'll see those shortly.
