Happy Birthday Azer!

Woot! Survived another year with us eh?

Merry Christmas (Eve)!

I wanted to wish the entire team a very Merry Christmas and in advance, a very Happy New Year! So who's brave enough to put there New Year Resolutions in the comments? :P In COH/V related resolution, I vow to have a lvl 50 villain by the end of '09!

Jingle Bells, Baba Smells....

Happy holidays all! It's about that merry time ingame again so get on your skis, open a few presents, and earn some new auras! There's a new slalom run in the ski chalet and 3 new speed badges. You also get Frostbitten just for logging in!

I hope everyone has an amazing holiday, full of joy and great presents! If you want to be included on the Azrhiaz Christmas Card list, send your address to: omjolnir@aol.com

But I already have a job!

We always knew Baba had a god complex
So what are these things called Day Jobs? They are rewards given for logging out in a certain location for 25 days of time (or 600 hours worth). You might find you've gotten one or two already on toons you haven't logged in on for a while. What kind of rewards are we talking about here you ask? Here is a listing of hero side day jobs:

There are also day job accolades that you can earn from getting two that are relevant to each other. Each accolade gives you a power of some sort, whether it be a police baton or way to rez your teammate.

Ever wonder what the arena looks like behind the doors?

There's a hole in the Talos map that you can sneak out of. There's an old "island" of buildings out there and if you fly a certain way and under the map and use the /stuck command, you'll get transported into this little secret place. It's very matrix-y and kinda pretty.

Issue 13 Out Tomorrow

New Valkyrie Booster Set Coming Soon
Issue 13 will be uploaded to the live servers tomorrow! Death to PvP, merits for recipes and so little else! But make a villain with Pain or a melee toon with Shields! I'm sure you'll find something to do! I'm sure it was worth the wait (not).

First shot at videos

I got bored and downloaded Fraps. It is a video capture program with a free limited use offer. I made a couple of videos. Make demos in game, copy them using Fraps, then edit in Microsoft Movie Maker (freebie with MS XP computer I have). Upside is I had fun and they turned out alright. Downside is Movie Maker is as a good as a freebie program so the video's quality nosedives when I upload it to the 'net.
