Because I know you were all just waiting on tenterhooks<\/a> for one.
\nWe played a bunch of CoH this weekend.
\nMargie actually developed some additional characters, trying out different archetypes. Unlike I, who simply creates things that sound cool, Margie actually does research <\/em>on this stuff. Yeesh.
\nI ended up creating an additional character, too, so that I’d have someone immediately-post-tutorial to team with her. That would be Totally Unstable<\/strong>, my Rad\/Rad Defender. Fun guy, and remarkably effective. He’s in the pic to the right with TT<\/strong>, Margie’s Flame Tanker.
\nWe did a fair amount of teaming up with others — the Testerfolk (who were kind enough to SK us or Exemplar down, since they play around at rarified levels above us), Stan, Scott — or, at least, chatting with them. Two noteworthy adventures that ended rather frustratingly, though:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hunting the Jewel of Hera in caves in Perez Park. Ended up with Stan and Margie and me having cleared the caves, found the jewel — but still lacking one dimwitted Circle of Thorns dude hiding somewhere. We ran around for a good 45 minutes in there, at least, searching high and low, before giving up and exiting. Frustrating.\n
  2. Outcast base against Electric Eel in the Hollows. Yikes. Don’t know how the adventure geared up so high (perhaps Doyce’s scrapper), but after many painful adventures on the second floor, including deaths, we finally battled through to the bad guy’s lair, only to find multiple purple and red folks who were two-shotting Doyce and then finishing Stan and Margie and me up for dessert. Yikes, redux.
    \nAfter the last assault — where I could eventually see from my perspective on the floor that we were down to just Eel, and had him down to about 20% HP, the others on Doyce’s “I got more debt than George W. Bush” recommendation to simply quit the mission for another time.
    \nRrg.<\/ol>\n

    I did manage to get Velvet (after too many deaths) up to lucky 13th level (helped by some direction to stores in Steel Canyons by Doyce). I need to do some teaming with her, though — most of the activities were solo, and I want to get back into the fray with her.
    \nSome of the best times were Margie and me running duos. Lots of fun pulling the bad guys and defeating them in detail. Good stuff. Left a lot of crap undone for the weekend, but it was a fun time nevertheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
