Magnet Magnetson, my City of Villains Mastermind, reached threat level 20 whilst defeating Dr Echo in yet another abandoned Arachnid base. I was informed by my supervillain trainer that my outfit was looking a bit shabby and to get myself over to the tailor to sharpen myself up. ...

One of the problems in City of Villains about being a Mastermind in charge of robots, instead of just my own actions, is that a certain amount of finessing and care is required in ordering the robots what to do. There generally isn't a problem until a mistake is ...

Magnet Magnetson reached threat level 18 last night, and I was informed that my progress meant I would get another robot friend. Oh, splendid! I summoned my 'bots and, sure enough, there was Cupcake.

Magnet Magentson, my City of Villains Mastermind, has a new robot! Buttercup's a defensive 'bot, or somesuch, but with guns. It protects Fluffy, Snowflake and myself with a defensive shield, can repair the other two robots, and in its spare time shoots my opponents. Nifty! I ...

Zoso and Melmoth have hooked me up to join them on the US servers for City of Heroes. The timing has worked out really well. I picked up the boxed game cheaply and got it working under Crossover Games for Mac, ironing out the showstopping wrinkles, and now ...
