Bought it yesterday, tried it out last night. It’s hella fun. I’m actually surprised that a game that simple could be so much fun, but it actually works. I can’t wait to join a team and start fighting injustice & ignorance alongside other Dopers. One of the problems of grouping is that the most fun in the game (IMO) is creating new characters. I’ve got three already, ideas for another couple, and I can’t decide yet which one I like the most. So far I’ve got: **The Spectral Thumb** lvl 4 or so, magic defender. (I was _very_ impressed that they let me set up a Golden Age Sandman style costume for this guy.) **Cicada Lass** lvl 5 or thereabouts, mutant tanker. **Admiral Chill** lvl 2, science blaster. I saw **Ryle Dup** last night but we didn’t talk. Looking forward to leveling up and seeing the rest of the team (and making more characters!) ---

all I can say is WOW. and, my apologies to the person who messaged me about being a SDMB player. I was in the middle of my first team mission with a couple of layabouts, and I couldn’t figure out the com interface fast enough to reply, and juggle my interaction with them. This game is going to be huge. again, and advance apologies for my interface clumsiness… I remain Stilleto, your run of the mill mutant/scrapper ---

Alright gang, the supergroup has been formed! Priam will be along soon with more info, email me (Ryle Dup) ingame to join. ---

I played all day with Dopers. Wow, is this game fun. My guy is a Tech Blaster with Assault Rifle. When Ryle dug up his Blaster and five or so of us went in the sewers, it was awesome. Ryle and I would go forward, blast away with rifle grenades, pandemonium ensues… Man, this game rocks. ---

**Ryle** is right. We now have a SuperGroup (i.e: a guild). Its name is C.E.C.I.L and it rawks. Ryle, since he formed it, is our Fearless Leader. I believe that both myself and Max can also join people up, although we have not tried it. In short, if you wish to join C.E.C.I.L then send an e-mail to one of the following names: **Ryle Dup Frank N. Furter Max Carnage** We’ll get you hooked up ASAP! (For those of you wondering what C.E.C.I.L stands for, somebody (Max I think) came up with a really cool designation that I forget the first part of. Its Something Something Counter-Ignorance League) ---

Actually most of the credit for C.E.C.I.L. goes to Priam. Cecil’s Extrordinary Counter-Ignorance League Join today! ---

Since everyone has 10 alts (except Ryle, who has 20), allow me to join the fun. I’m also playing The Wizard In Green (yes, homage to Brust to the other Brust reader out there), a Controller. ---

Which is the populated dedicated COH forum? Also, hope I can join C.E.C.I.L if I get the game, or is it closing membership? ---

**Glory** : To move your camera around your character, either hold down your middle mouse button or Page Up then swivel it using your mouse. Once you’ve got it lined up as you wish, press the Print Scrn button **KidCharlemagne** : Not sure I totally understand your first question, but CECIL is definately still open for joining. The only requirement we’re imposing right now is that you confirm in-game what your message board nick is. Just send an e-mail or tell to the names I listed above. ---

How big a download is it? It may be faster to go to worst buy and buy the thing. (tempeted to do that since altho I would pay tax, I’d get the CD and manual) Brian (I have DSl, but it would still take a while I Imagine) Brian ---

Hey! **Justice Blues** is in there too! That was a blast last night, despite the fact I kept dying. I seem to do better with a blaster or defender in groups. Hmmm, maybe a controller. I know what I am doint tonight. 😃 Lok ---

Oh c’mon, it’s only 19! 😃 I’ve only made a couple alts to test out powers, now I’m down to 2 characters, its an improvement I say!
