AT&T's response to Verizon's "map" ad campaign is delightfully deceptive. For those blissfully unfamiliar with the campaign, Verizon is touting that their 3G coverage is much wider than AT&T's, showing a mostly-filled-in Verizon coverage map and a pretty threadbare AT&T map (which is pretty deceptive in itself, as most of the empty spots on AT&T's map are also very low population density). AT&T's response ads never say "3G", instead touting what must be their overall wireless coverage map. Let's hear it for skating on the very edge of actionable advertising! (FWIW, when I got my first cellphone I initially went with Verizon because their map colored all of Kansas red...and it turned out that they really only covered metro KCK, Wichita, Lawrence and Topeka. The rest of the state was "roaming" access.)

Well, for now it looks like there will be no more new Power Rangers shows in America...they're remastering Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers for HD and issuing new toys to go along with it instead of adapting the series that followed Go-onger.

Had a big four-team raid, so I got enough Vanguard Merits to get all the remaining costume bits I wanted for Sharon.
( Hate the head pieces, belt's meh, grabbed the rest. )
Now to save up for the bonus invention salvage storage. :)

And the thing before the monkey was a no-XP portal-summoned Conscript. For those who don't do City of Heroes, Rikti Monkeys are annoying little pieces of wandering damage that are rarely worth more than 100XP, which might as well be zero when you're at high levels and need millions of XP per level.
ETA: Looks like 33810 is the XP bonus I get for completing one of Borea's missions, I got it by mistake. :)

Just a fanmode I worked up while reviewing the Human Alliance Skids/Mikaela/Arcee set.
( Hm, with Bionicle ending, will Robo-Riders come back? )
