I got myself all excited about playing city of villains now.  well, not super excited, but i'm at a point where i can play the game and enjoy it.  and i like that.  i played for about an hour tonight, maybe a little more, and leveled my 1st villain from level 5 to 6.  I've decided to spec as a flyer, but i was very unsure of that, for the reason that i have to take 'hover' as my main traveling power set for the next 8 levels.  to those that don't know, hover is quite possibly the slowest form of travel.  seriously, i can 'sprint' in game and get where i'm going faster than hovering.

of course, i may be able to choose another travel power before the level 14 mark, but if i do i'd be giving up normal attack powers which could help me alot for the next 8 levels.

my next power of choice will probably be the assasination strike, very good first attack, will cause major critical damage when i first attack because of my hiding ability.

yes, i enjoy city of villains alot.

also, i saw the Portal video teaser thing.  i can't wait, seriously.  i will purchase half life 2: episode 2 just for that, if need be.  hopefully by the time that comes out though, i'll at least have the first half life 2 game done, and then perhaps half life 2: episode 1.

it'll be a while before i finish half life 2 though, i'm going to focus some on my Villain for now.
