Live action super hero!

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

It has already been established that I am a furry and I have mentioned having made a rudimentary tiger outfit. When I started playing City of Heroes my natural instinct was to create a super hero catwoman—but not a 'Catwoman' super hero—and Sue Purr was born. My penchant for tiger-style ...

Villains and heroes

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

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 ...

Magnet Magnetson, Mastermind

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 ...

Client, server, other?

I'm not that smart, you know. Months ago, I was playing my warrior, Tiger, in World of Warcraft and was running around in Shadowmoon Valley for reasons that escape me now, and I saw a fel iron ore vein that I could mine. It was sitting on a ...

A more stable City of Heroes Mac

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

The tweaks I made to the video settings in City of Heroes have led to a massive improvement in stability when running the game using Crossover Games. Instead of spending half my time waiting for the game to reload I am blasting villains in Paragon City. I still ...

Weekend gaming

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I had a lazy weekend, just idling over and keeping myself entertained. Normally, keeping myself entertained will involve playing computer games but it didn't look like I'd be doing much of that this weekend. I was keen to play some more City of Heroes, even though the game ...

Advocating City of Heroes

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

With City of Heroes working on my Mac thanks to Crossover Games I've been running around Paragon City as Sue Purr, tiger woman extraordinaire. But with random crashes of the game occurring frequently, causing me to have to relaunch the game maybe a dozen times per gaming session, I ...

I'm Sue Purr, thanks for asking

Look out, criminal masterminds, Paragon City has a new protector! With the previously mentioned information that City of Heroes had a good chance of running on my Mac I bought the game to try out. It would let me explore and progress in a new world, as well ...
