news archive When Captain America throws his mighty shield.... Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2004 Last night, after the day started to wind down I logged into my favorite virtual world for some escape time. The City of Heroes game has been my online diversion of choice as of late. I've tried just about every character type and I'm settling on my favorites. So I logged onto the Guardian server and created myself a Science origin Tanker with Invulerability and Super Strength. I dressed him in red, white and blue, adorned him and named him FLAG WAVER. Once I got to a populated area, other people in the game started reacting to my character, but not in the way I expected. "How can you wave a flag of a country that kills other countries for oil we already have." I inquired if these people were from another country that maybe didn't look too kindly on the US. They all stated that they were Americans, but they just didn't really like America. I really didn't know what to say back to these other players. I certainly didn't log into the game to get into a political debate. Rather than be daunted, I created a list of handy macros that I could pull out to difuse any potential jerk coming up to me in game to piss on my American pride. Now, if anyone decides to make me feel bad about playing a patriotic hero, I can just pull out any one of these handy responses. I've been cryogenically frozen for the last sixty years." "Look, are you going to point me towards the wehrmacht or not?" "I defeated Hitler's reanimated body to defend your freedom to say that." It's kind of a sad day when playing Captain America starts to offend so many people.
Quantum Leap on DVD Posted on Wednesday, June 23, 2004 The first season of Quantum Leap is out on DVD and I'm in heaven. It's a great DVD set, although there weren't as many episodes in that first season as I had hoped. I loved this show and I love that it's been digitally collected for me. I remember watching the show with him when it originally aired. punchline every week as if he had just heard it for the first time. Just seeing the logo reminds me of him laughing and repeating "Oh boy!" So, would you guys forgive me if I had Sam leap into one of the PvP characters. Believe me when I say resisting the temptation to do so is agonizing.
