Yup, my PC’s monitor died the other day… So, gaming has taken a steep dive down.

Until I can get a replacement I’ve got my Mac to game on — mostly CoH.

Having spent a lot of time in a different superhero themed MMO (CO, of course) it’s nice to see the differences first-hand. The graphics are certainly aged, but the world design is still superior to me. The city feels a bit more like a city than MC does in CO. The always available content is great too. I *never* run out of stuff to do in CoH while leveling up. If the game had custom power sets, faster game play (it was pretty fast back in 2004, but it feels really, really slow compared to CO) and improved graphics — it would continue to dominate the superhero MMO market.

Still, this gives me a good chance to get back to creating that AE map while my leveling partner is offline. I forgot how annoying it was to solo as a defender… Luckily, even at 3 in the morning, I still get team invites quickly. Grouping in CoH is still years ahead of CO.
