Whew.  It’s been a long, dry road here at Blog of Heroes <\/em>— largely because I’ve been doing very little CoX play over the past month or so.  No, I haven’t sold my soul to WoW or LotRO or anything like that.  I’ve just been — busy and distracted.<\/p>\n

Last night, though, we had a fun time.  Doyce sent me an e-mail asking about villains on Virtue and wanting to run the first (Tarikoss\/Bat’Zul) Strike Force.  Margie and I discovered we both had (soloist) villains in the range in questions — my Eliza Dee <\/strong>(17) and her Deep Charge <\/strong>(15).  Together we banded together with Kate and Doyce’s Miss Optimism and Mister Brightside, and Lee’s Steel Soul, and pounded through the SF in, oh, about four hours.<\/p>\n

Lots of fun — two scrappy brutes, a tanky brute, a corrupter, and a mastermind, very few deaths, and lots of dinging.  Margie got DC from 15 to 18, and I got Eliza from 17 to 19 (and so close to Blessed Stamina).  Biggest annoyance was my CoX session crashing and needing a reverify in the middle of the festivities, but it all worked out okay.<\/p>\n

We also played with Ventrilo<\/a>, after a quick install and configuration.  I have to confess to having been skeptical about the whole voice-play thing in the past, but it did help with the tactics (and strategy) during the game, so a big thumbs up.  Installed easily on both machines and we got going with very little hassle.<\/p>\n

Good times.  Nice to play in a larger group of people I know and — well, mostly trust, and at least can predict.  \ud83d\ude42  We’ll have to do more of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
