Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.
It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.
To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.
Here is one of mine from, The Shadow.
Margo: Oh, God I dreamed.
Lamont: So did I. What did you dream?
Margo: I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?
Lamont: I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.
Margo: You have problems.
Lamont: I'm aware of that.

Mr. Incredible: I have to do this alone.
Elastigirl: What is this to you? Playtime?
Mr. Incredible: No.
Elastigirl: So you can be Mr. Incredible again?
Mr. Incredible: No!
Elastigirl: Then what? What is it?
Mr. Incredible: I'm not...
Elastigirl: Not what?
Mr. Incredible: Not... I'm not strong enough.
Elastigirl: Strong enough? And this will make you stronger?
Mr. Incredible: Yes. No!
Elastigirl: That's what this is? Some sort of work out?
Mr. Incredible: [shouts] I can't lose you again!
[calms down]
Mr. Incredible: I can't. Not again. I'm not s-strong enough.
Elastigirl: [kisses him] If we work together, you won't have to be.
Mr. Incredible: I don't know what will happen...
Elastigirl: Hey, c'mon. We're superheroes. What could happen?

Peevy:" [wistfully] Flora Maxwell. There wasn't any point datin' nobody after her."- The Rocketeer
Also, big shout out to the "The Shadow" mention. I watched that movie more recently and just pretended Lamont was actually Jack Donaghy, Alec Baldwin's character from 30 Rock. It made the viewing experience amazing.
I've never seen 30 Rock. For some reason, just didn't appeal. But I loved The Rocketeer. The end where the the mobster claims that he may be a mobster, but he's an american mobster.... that was awesome.
May the wings of freedom never lose a feather!
Not to derail the topic, but don't watch 30 Rock if you don't like geeky pop culture references, Tina Fey, New York or Alec Baldwin.
Now, to add to the topic: My wife and I argue EVERY TIME we watch The Incredible's over who was right: Bob, for wanting to do the thing he loved most in life, or Helen, who wanted to forget the good times and just move on. Obviously, they were both wrong and both right, but it still makes us bicker. Like this:
Lucius: Honey?
Honey: What?
Lucius: Where's my super suit?
Honey: What?
Lucius: Where - is - my - super - suit?
Honey: I, uh, put it away.
[helicopter explodes outside]
Lucius: *Where*?
Honey: *Why* do you *need* to know?
Lucius: I need it!
[Lucius rummages through another room in his condo]
Honey: Uh-uh! Don't you think about running off doing no daring-do. We've been planning this dinner for two months!
Lucius: The public is in danger!
Honey: My evening's in danger!
Lucius: You tell me where my suit is, woman! We are talking about the greater good!
Honey: 'Greater good?' I am your wife! I'm the greatest *good* you are ever gonna get!
Jor-El: "You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun."
I don't care if you don't like Man of Steel.. the movie was gorgeous. And the quote just defined heroism.
Bruce Wayne: You're vigilantes.
Henri Ducard: No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed, or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, then you become something else entirely.
Bruce Wayne: Which is?
Henri Ducard: Legend, Mr. Wayne.

Jason Todd: I don't know what's worse, your grief or your antiquated sense of morality, Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me. But why? Why on God's earth...
[smashes closet door open holding Joker]
Jason Todd: ...is he still alive!
Joker: Gotta give the boy points. He came all the way from the dead to make this shindig happen. So who's got a camera? Ooh! Ooh! Get one of me and the kid first. Then you and me, then the three of us. And then the one with the crowbar.

I liked Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live. I liked Alec Baldwin in most of the movies he made. It's the humor in 30 Rock I didn't like, or rather that I saw in the commercials and bits of the show I caught.
Mr. Incredible: No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for... for ten minutes!

A three-way tie between this scene, the aforementioned "Puny God" and:
"Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and your plan is to blackmail this person?
Good luck."
Good one, Bel! That's a winner!

Priest: You're speaking... figuratively
Marv: I need to find something out, I just go out and look for somebody that knows more than me and I go and I ask them
Marv: Sometimes, I ask pretty hard
Marv: That way, for instance, in fact, I killed men tonight
Marv: Tortured them first, you might say I've been working my way up the food chain.
Marv: First are minnows, small time messengers
Marv: But it was Connely. They money man who fingered you, Padre
Priest: Dear Lord, Marv. This is a House of God
Marv: Just give me a damn name
Priest: Roark
Marv: You really are pushing your luck, Padre, feeding me garbage like that
Marv: It can't be that big

Holy Flux Capacitor! I loved this when I was a kid!

Batman (to Ra's al Ghul): I won't kill you. But I don't have to save you. - Batman Begins
Alfred Pennyworth (to Bruce Wayne): . . . some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. - The Dark Knight

"Doth Mother know you weareth her drapes?"

True he did became the hero. Still my favorite Quote from the movie. Thought nothing beats Edna 'E' Mode! Basically everything she says makes me smile.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M68ndaZSKa8
Edna: It will be bold! Dramatic!
Bob: Yeah!
Edna: Heroic!
Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!
Bob: Isn't that my decision?
Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
Bob: Listen, E...
Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!
Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...
Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things...
Edna: Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex!
[shouts]
Edna: No capes!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOpH6E7T6I0
Helen: E, it's great to see you, but I gotta tell you, I've got no idea what you're talking about.
Edna: Yes, words are useless! Gobble-gobble-gobble-gobble-gobble! Too much of it, darling, too much! That is why I show you my work! That is why you are here!
-------------------------------------------
Personal rules of good roleplay
1.) Nothing goes as planned.
2.) If it goes as planned it's not good RP
The fact that Edna Mode was voiced by Brad Bird, the director of The Incredibles meant that in daily meetings the staff and crew would be "subjected" to criticism by "Edna" on a routine basis, and that in many ways when Brad "spoke" to them as Edna, complex problems and questions somehow became really simple ... ^_~

Two. Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family.
