CoH, CoK, and Chimpanzees.
Sep. 19th, 2004 10:56 pmIf my ports were opened, I would so be playing City of Heroes. But, as they aren't, I'm not. I did manage to play some this weekend, though. Friday night was spent trying to get through the Tutorial to meet up with Leslie, which didn't happen. But that's alright, since I did get comfortable to the world, and my character has since gone through three incarnations, starting as Ermyne and ending up, now, as Svelt. Though, I may try renaming her, as it seems I misspelled 'svelte'...
Same concept, though. She's a mutant, as opposed to the other super-origins (Technology, like Iron Man; Science, like Captain America; Natural, like Batman; or Magic, like, uhm, Spawn..?). I haven't thought up a very detailed background yet, but ( background follows... )
I did play with Leslie, and Mike some, on Saturday night. We tried playing on Ermyne's server, but Leslie couldn't get in. Then we played on the server where I made Sic Semper (a Natural-type guy, similar in abilities to The Juggernaut), and though he and Leslie's Annunciata got to kick around some, Mike couldn't get in. So we all made new characters; mine was Bethan, a Magic-type Controller, with gravity and healing powers.
Saturday was taken up by the Champions of Kamigawa M:tG prerelease. I had picked up my brothers friday night, and we left from school early on Saturday morning, at 4am, after a mostly-sleepless night. For those not interested in details, I ran in two sealed-deck flights (a flight is a four-round, Swiss-style tournament) and played one booster draft. I went 4-0 in one of might flights, netting me 16 boosters as prize, and bagged another two boosters for my one win in the draft (it was single-elimination, but a single win was enough for some prize). All told I came out of there with 485 new cards, 270 of which were prizes. Whee.
For those interested in a few more details, ( they would be here. )
And that's about it. Nothing much happened today, really. Except that is seems Genie (a pretty girl I met a while back and recently found online) not only plays Magic, but was teaching my other friend (and her roomie), Liz, how to play. Though, I had thought Liz already knew how to play...
Damn, but do I want to play City of Heroes...
