Getting very close now, only a couple hours away.
Some friends and family already called to make sure both me and my 20 year old son will be on.
We get on and have a blast trying to level up our characters to max level (Heroes or villians, you can be either).
I've been playing this game on and off for over 2 years and it still blows my mind what a great game it is.
I guess it goes back to how most people always dreamed of being a hero from reading comic books,watching cartoons
or watching hero movies (such as recently Ironman and X-Men/Wolverine).
I remember the old days of gaming where you were told that red and blue dot on the screen was supposed to be
superman or Spiderman. And thats about as close to looking like them as it got back then was just the colors.
Now with this game that I will be playing all weekend called "City of Heroes", you pick out your costume and
colors, pick your skin color, set your height with a scalable slide that ranges from very short to tall, select your body
build (thin, average,muscular, overweight etc.), put any decals as well as jewelry that you want, as well as even add
chains or barbed wire on your body for a very tough look indeed.
To me some of the fun of the game is just seeing what designs of heroes/villians people come up with and thats
in their imagination. I've as yet to see two completely identical looking heroes (unless it was done on purpose such as a
husband/wife team or BF/GF team and they wanted to look similar to match)
Anyhow I know some of you are into PC gaming from reading a thread on here a few days back so if you
got any free time this weekend and would like to try it out with a group of us on there (or test it out going solo if you'd
prefer) you can check out their website and glimpse some screenshots/videos and even download a 10 day free trial
of the actual game. Their web address is www.CoH.com
I'd be interested to hear what any of you thought of it if you have a chance to try it out. It appears to attract all
ages. I'm 42 years old/young and one time I was in a team of eight people and I was the youngest. It made my day.
My chat handle on there is @Stone-Wall or send me a e-mail at stonewall88 at hotmail.com if you think you'd like to
get on and team with us.
Anyhow hope all have a great Weekend,
StoneWall
