  • Pile of MMOs: Champions Online and The Secret World

    I created another character in Champions Online, since my main one is trapped in a nightmare cave with Mr. Giantpaper’s character, fighting nightmare demons (and at the point we are at now, entering an actual nightmare).

I deleted the fairy, since F2P players can have up to two slots (before paying for additional ones) and created an archer. I had Hawkeye in mind, but decided to make the new one more like an ordinary civilian with superpowers (super acrobatic skills and Improbable Aiming Skills), since my main character is a super psychic ninja-type.

    Google has been doing this for some time now actually…
