looks Fun
Do they play that song in the bg ?? when in game =P

Is it subcription based?

[[gh]Spurty]

I rather enjoy thrashing punks, its kinda like a 2nd IRC at times with something more interesting to be doing rather than waiting for people to type something .. check out this typo (I meant this comment of mine to go into the #spurtyspub channel)

Your desktop is a huge messy ugly thing :P

Disable all the WinXP 'pretty' junk, it eats your CPU.

Unrequited, that link just gives me a sound file. What am I suppose to be seeing?

a movie. you dont have the video codec... i dunno off hand what it was.
try the divx codec

[unrequited]

It's a WMV file so I would try Windows Media Player 9 to open it. I use Media Player Classic myself and had no problems, but if you're still trying to figure out which codec you need, I'll run it through my codec analyzer when I get home tonight to tell you exactly what video codec it uses.

that looks pretty nice., specially the mid-air spell attacks...tight!!!

what are you supposed to do? who do you fight? whats the ultimate objective?

[stormFury]

This just seems silly to me... that in a city with thousands of super heroes there would be villains at all. Usually there's only one (1) super hero per city. In some cases they have a side kick or maybe there's a 'league' of them. But not thousands in one city. That's just stupid.

[Low-Light]

soo subcription based?

>Stealer, you fight to win
>StormFury, there are hundreds of thousands of villans, case closed.
>Low-light, yup

Well I am using a friends Mac, that could be the problem.

[stormFury]

I understand there may be a lot of villains... but how can you consider yourself a Super Hero with 1000's of other guys flying around saving the day too?

[Dark Knight Zer0]

Id only play if I could play a villan

DK0

[[gh]Spurty]

I don't have a clue how that would make the game more interesting to be fair
its shallow .. walk about, punch things. Return to your handler for cash prizes, level.

Its as RPG as you can get. It just lets you fly and teleport (I personally rather enjoy leap more though)

As for 1,000s of other guys flying around? Nah, they are all too lazy for that. Check this out: http://www.spurtyspub.com/images/more-news.jpg

so spurty what ARE the magical sounds of a traffic cone?

[Community Nub Shauce]

Is there any real base to this game... or is it just beat up villians and level?

Is it pay monthly?

[[gh]Spurty]

Yes, its a pay monthly game. Sooooo many bugs in it still though ... but its damned fun to play and beat up the thugs.

[Community Nub Shauce]

Whats the fee? Im guessing, 10-13 a month

[PeregrineFalcon]

14.95 a month

[[gh]Spurty]

If you don't have about $100 disposable income a month, do not buy it. Save for better games that at least have a single player option. 1/2 the time when in a group, nothing happens as the party leader doesn't like the mission or one of your team mates attacks a group that is 15 levels higher than you .. .

Best short article written on WoW vs. CoH. Mind you I'm playing both right now, about 6 hours of one a day, and then the next 6 hours of the other. It's fun.
