Too much playtime

I've been playing City of Heroes way too much apparently. I've been avoiding the test server since my main is a /Regen scrapper and I am therefore annoyed. But it's all good, a huge amount of levelling has happened on Live.

Kung Ru has hit SL40 on Pinnacle. New Costume, New Contacts, Dead Hydra. Hopefully soon to be Dead Terra, but I so can't solo her and I've not yet found a team to help me out. :-p

Hidden Justice flew through two levels in one day and is now SL20 on Virtue. Cape: CHECK! Costume 2: CHECK! Nice gift of influence from the Signficant Other so that all of my red level 15 enhancements could be brought up to level 20: CHECK! x_x She levelled too fast. Very little debt. Bad bad bad enhancements. Luckily, the main two Kinetic powers (Transfustion and Siphon Power) and her Leadership powers stayed white as I managed to buy enhancements for them before they went red.

I've tossed some new screenshots up on ScrapBook to show off the goodies.


Kung Ru is on Pinnacle and pretty much always LFT now when I play her. AV missions appear to be the norm, and I already hate the Carnival of Shadows with a burning passion. She's got the Terra mission (level 40 AV, got mission at 39) and she's finishing a two-part Carnie mission. I can nab the Psychic Clockwork King mission in the blink of an eye. Okay, in a Super Jump or three, but still.

Hidden Justice is on Virtue and is currently wanting to do the Synapse Task Force. I would also not be opposed to Exemplaring to do the Positron Task Force, but I understand that that Task Force blows chunks, but, hey, I want to actually do them for once. The only TF I've ever done is Numina with Kung Ru. My Global Chat handle is, surprise surprise, @jdotmi

Real Life Update

So, I've been on vacation for the past week. That ends tonight because I work at midnight at Booth, but it's been a nice little break. I really really needed it. Too much stress lately, especially of the financial kind. Got a little bit of surprising relief on that front yesterday. At least, enough to keep me from bottoming out this month.

Plans are still up in the air on how to proceed from this point, but some things are becoming more clear. We are staying in this apartment another year, one way or the other. I like this place, I really do. It'd be hard to find something as nice for less money or at least reasonably similar for less money.

I have considered ditching the car ports, because we don't have much of a problem with parking. I like the car ports, though, so who knows.

We had Shadowrun last weekend. It went pretty well, although my character never being in the Astral before (being a Sorcerer and not a Full Mage) was very very confused. Things got really fucked up, but it was fun. lilacmoon5 even ran a pseudo fair-tale. No system, just characters and a plot. It was fun as well.

I've not really been reading LiveJournal. I did go through and spot-check the journals of people I know in person, so I'm not totally out of the loop, but I've not been paying much attention this past week. So, if there's anything I missed that you think I might be wanting to read, toss a comment at me and let me know!
