One question on gaining the power of flight on my City of Villains Mastermind was what would happen to my robots? I know they have the innate power of super-jumping, which is quite handy when they chase a villain who is keen on a cinematic railing death but misjudges ...

I'm not sure if my new notoriety change affects the amount of experience I gain, but I went from threat level 13 to 15 pretty quickly. I gained the power of flight as well as the title 'The Wrathful Magnet Magnetson'. Flying is great, as it allows me ...

My boss comes to me this morning with some interesting hardware in-hand, and tells me that 'I have a little job for you, the best part being that it doesn't need any paperwork'.
Hmm, I really should finish that draft report soon for the test I completed a while back.

I popped in to my local town over the weekend, trying to avoid crowds by turning up when I thought most people would be going home. It didn't work out that way, and my arrival may have coincided with some early cinema traffic, but that was okay. I ...

Zoso and Melmoth have hooked me up to join them on the US servers for City of Heroes. The timing has worked out really well. I picked up the boxed game cheaply and got it working under Crossover Games for Mac, ironing out the showstopping wrinkles, and now ...
