Worst Tech Support On The Planet

Sep 20, 2005 20:42

So I went out and purchased the MMORPG game City of Heroes as a present to myself. When I got home, I discovered I didn't have the right video card, even though the woman at the store had sworn that if my computer could play WoW, it could play this. Ok. So I got a new video card and installed it. Now, to actually get into the game, you have to ( Read more... )

You should have bought City of Villians. =)

Oh, and also... stick with WoW. CoH was fun for awhile, but it gets really repetitive. It doesn't have the depth of WoW.

I got called back and they now say they can't fix it. Should I try to return the game and video card? This is insane!!!

Cough.

Well if i ever get it working you should come play with me and be my sidekick! We could shout all manner of impertinent slogans at criminals!! Woo!

I kind of wanted to play a pulpy hero, like from the 40s, and start a group called the MEN OF TOMORROW. And be all goofy and anachronistic. My guy was going to be the mysterious dude in a cape with a mask on. And a gun.

But then my computer blows and I try really hard not to play MMORPGs because I have little enough free time as it is. It sounds really fun, though.

Oh yeah and the other idea I had was to play THE IRON DRACULA - the idea behind the character is he has your usual superhero origin story of he was a janitor who found a nigh-invincible (or whatever) suit of high-tech armor and figured it would be best to use it to fight crime. The difference is that he's kind of not really a genius, and he decided that the only thing that would strike more fear into the hearts of criminals than a man made of iron would be Dracula made of iron. So he painted the suit up, to look kind of like Dracula (this consisted of a chest symbol, fake pointy ears which don't do anything, and fangs and a painted-on widow's peak hairstyle which do nothing so much as make him look hilariously earnest and none too swift) And thus was born THE IRON DRACULA.

I figure he'd be wonderfully irritating to play.
