Pic of the day: This cutie was called "Orange Jell-O" (or was it just Orange Jelly?). The naming conventions in City of Heroes is a bit more relaxed than in Marvel and DC, I'd say. No, this is not my character. I've been playing males lately. While making pretty girls is OK, I find it harder to roleplay them for a considerable length of time. Also there are so many real girls in the game now that people are starting to assume that females actually are female. I have no idea how this happened. Superhero comics are for boys, aren't they?

Short entry

Played CoH all day, mostly. It is hard to believe that the game has been out only 2 months today. It feels like it has been longer. Of course, it has, since I was in the closed beta also. But it feels even longer. But then again, sometimes I look at my entry for 3 or 4 years ago and I go "Huh? Wasn't that last year?". So I guess my sense of time is just a bit hazy.

I'm surely not the only one. I've noticed that people my age use the age of children to calculate when things happened. "It was the year where NN was pregnant with XY." Since this doesn't happen with me, I would remain ignorant if not for my journal. ^^*

Anyway, City of Heroes. There is a test server now. But it is only open to people who already subscribe to the game, so don't get your hopes up. I plan to write an entry on the new big upgrade, which contains levels 40 to 50 and a few more goodies. Should be in next week.
