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.

EMAIL any legitimate hyperlinks to me and if on topic, they'll be added to my LINK page.
Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 8:00AM Another tribute video -- this time more or less a slideshow of toons. I'm seeing a few of these, and am wondering if one of my comic covers isn't warranted....
Looks like we had some villians in here too
Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 8:00AM I thought I'd posted this one before -- But apparently not. (Maybe my memory is the exception to the rule...)
Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 8:00AM Another COH video here -- Lots of familiar faces and places here. It gave me a chuckle...
Thursday, August 2, 2012 at 12:51AM According to the Massively article, new secondary powerset of Martial Combat for Blasters comes with Issue 24, and Martial Assault for Dominators. Mixing some slow motion/speedup effects with martial arts style attacks, they are trying for an odd martial arts flavor. Combined with pistols or possibly even beam weapons, this can give the player a kind of gun-fu type flavor.
See the Devs show it off in this Coffee Talk video
I could easily see a variation of this hitting scrappers and defenders soon -- I'd think it would make a killer staff weapon secondary.
