i want to know where he got the SG-01 outfit.

I did a ton of resource and found some reliable source images to base my costume off of. The costume isn't 100% screen acurate as of right now but it'll get there.

Everything in the costume I found online and if you check some of the Stargate costuming groups you should be able to find some good links to get your costume as well.

The vest was actually the toughest piece to find, it's screen accurate for the most part (minus some minor details) but Blackhawk has discontinues making them so they are few and far between.

The leg holster is a Blackhawk Omega IV tactical holster and all the weapons are airsoft. The Baretta is a cheap-o one but the P90 is an accurate version I found by Classic Army, I believe it's a Triple Tree version if I recall.

I wear an M9 knife which is also for Airsoft and it's made of rubber, this can also be found at many airsoft stores.

Aside from that you're looking at various odds and end stuff like pistol belts, BDU belts, canteen, and patches...Lots of little things...

I hand made a "First Prime" tatoo/marking out of sculpy and some gold leaf paint, I wasn't able to make a mold of it in time as the blasted plaster wouldn't set properly...grumbles. The sculpey worked out ok though and I'm quite happy with the way it came out. It's the first prime symbol for "Yu" since I wanted to be different from the "Apophis" crowd. I used the source material found on wikipedia and RD Anderson's website to sculpt it properly.

I also have a Zat gun which I painted up but wasn't able to make a Zat holster in time for Halloween but hopefully it'll be done and ready by the time Comic-Con rolls around.

*whew*

Hope that info helps.

Heroes was pretty dang good this week although you can say there were some character issues with some of the heroes. I can't say that I was entirely surprised by what happened with them but you could say it was a bit out of character for them.

---stare at the google maps location for Area 51, waiting for them to slip up and update the image!!!

 

Oh, and troll the boards from work on a slow day, anticipating fighting traffic to get home and patch.

 

Then play some call of duty 4 while it patches !!!

I ordered mine from Amazon last night with overnight shipping.. think it'll be here today? Hahaa.

 

(kidding of course " />)

Right now I'm at school. I love the computer labs at the Wisconsin Rapids campus of Mid-State Technical College. No restrictions to what websites I can and cant go to. lol

Ugh, was hoping it wasn't what it seemed to be. Murder suicide. Bad enough to take yourself out, but to take your wife and 7-year old with you is terrible.

I'll be taking on responsibilities for PlanetSide (which I have been for a little while) and MxO (as Walrus is becoming a full time producer type for the Seattle office). I can still pop in the EQII forums once in a while to say hi though.

Account theft isn’t isolated only to those who choose to trade or share their station accounts (ignoring the EULA!) As the internet and online gaming population grows, so does the cesspool of scammers.

There are a variety of ways in which people will attempt to gain access to your account, and the list grows everyday. Fear not, there are simple tips to ensure that your account is protected. Keep in mind these worn-out (but useful!) words of wisdom:

Sharing your account information is never a good idea.
Gamers have heard the advice before, yet a lot of people still opt to share their account information with close friends. Having a guildmate complete a quest for you while you’re sleeping may seem mostly harmless, but bad things can happen. While it doesn’t always end in catastrophe, you could log back in with a new last name like “Lovetrollslongtime” or something slightly worse which might result in a banning. It’s not always obvious, malicious attacks that cause good accounts to go bad!

I’m sure we’ve all heard the fateful stories of guildbanks emptied and outfit members booted. Sadly, this is a direct result of sharing account information. Not only do you run the risk of virtual strangers reeking havoc on all you’ve worked hard for, but you make it difficult for SOE’s customer service staff to investigate and resolve issues.

Be aware of phishing sites!
What is a phishing site? Simply, it’s usually a website created to mimic a well-known or frequently used site in an attempt to fraudulently gain sensitive account information. Gaming communities have been targeted in the past via email, spamming a link that takes the reader to a site that, upon first glance, appears to be legit. The imposter site may offer in-game items for completing surveys, or pose as a game representative, warning that your account is in limbo.

Here at SOE we do not offer enticing ways to earn in-game money through email. We prefer the old fashioned way of logging in, killing mobs, completing quests, etc. Be extremely cautious when exposed to external sites through email, claiming to be affiliated with Sony Online. You will only be prompted to enter your password when logging into an SOE game, or when visiting an official Station site.

SOE employees will NEVER ask for your password.
Not in email. Not in-game. Not on the phone. Never. We have ample ways to access your account; the only thing we require from you is patience and a Station name. If you suspect that someone is impersonating a CSR in-game, use the /report feature and again, do not divulge your account password.

Things you should know:
Account security is the responsibility of the account owner. This includes password protection, running virus checks, disabling file sharing, or any other means of checking that the owner's account has not been stolen or compromised.

If you find yourself a victim, not all is lost! CSR’s may be able to offer a one-time only “character restoration.” But first you must recover your account (details on doing this can be found here.)

SOE strives to maintain an exciting and safe gaming environment. To make things more enjoyable for everyone, we offer basic advice on how to keep your account secure.

Time Honored Tips:

• Store-bought arrows have the lowest damage potential, range and accuracy.
  
• Ranger summoned arrows have mid-line damage potential, range and accuracy - these arrows have not changed from their current state on live.

• Broadhead arrows: High damage, low range, low accuracy, slashing damage type. (These arrows were formerly known as hunting arrows.)
• Bodkin arrows: Medium damage, medium range, medium accuracy, piercing damage type.
• Field point arrows: Low damage, high range, high accuracy, crushing damage type. (These arrows were formerly known as rounded arrows.)

Muahahahha.

 

From time to time reminders about keeping your account secure are a
good thing. So here is SOEs policy about Account Security and some
useful tips on how to keep your account secure.





As the population of online internet gaming increases, so do issues
regarding stolen or compromised accounts, and/or accounts that have
been transferred from one player to another in violation of the User
Agreement. This also applies to the amount of issues relating to
Accounts that have had their login information "shared" with friends,
relatives, and Guild members. These issues (and the time it takes to
investigate and attempt to resolve them) hugely detract from the time
that SOE's Customer Support staff have to provide quality customer
service. Accordingly, SOE must remind all customers that:



(1) Account security is the responsibility of the account owner. This
includes password protection, running virus checks, disabling file
sharing, or any other means of checking that the owner's account has
not been stolen or compromised.



(2) Any and all stolen, compromised, or shared accounts that are
reported to SOE may be *suspended* in order to conduct an investigation
and prevent further malicious acts upon the accounts in question. If
characters on the account are deleted maliciously by someone, or items
and coin removed from a character, a Customer Service Representative
may offer a "character-restore." This will restore the player's
character to its most recent backup if a backup is available.
Experience points, items, etc, that are lost due to this type of
character restoration will not be reimbursed. Please understand that
once characters are deleted from an account, SOE does not guarantee
they can be restored.



This character-restore service will only be offered once per player
account. Subsequent occurrences of character deletion or
item/coin/experience loss due to account theft, compromised accounts,
or sharing of account information will not be reimbursed.



If a player account has been stolen or compromised, he or she must
first recover the account by following the Account Recovery Procedure (detailed here)
and then submit a Customer Service help-ticket immediately. Note: Due
to the availability of character backups, Customer Service may be
unable to help if the request for assistance is not received within a
reasonable amount of time.



(3) Any customer found to be involved in an account theft may have any
and all of his/her accounts banned. Prior to taking any action against
accounts reported as compromised, SOE will conduct a thorough review of
the accounts and determine the appropriate course of action. Accounts
will only face disciplinary action based on information gathered
through our investigation and not as a result of external allegations.



Account Security Tips



We strongly recommend that you change your current password
periodically and keep your registration information updated including
choosing a secret question if you have not already done so. Please make
sure that you have provided us with your current and valid email
address, we will use the email address on record to notify you of any
changes or activity regarding your Station account and in retrieving
lost passwords (this email address will not be used for marketing
purposes unless you specifically opt-in for newsletters and
announcements.)



Please remember to NEVER give out or share your Station name or password, including with friends and Guildmates.

Account security reminders:

· Use a unique Station name

· Use an alpha-numeric password consisting of at least 8 characters, a mix of letters, numbers and special characters is best.

· Never use the same word for your Station name and password

· Always create a secret question when prompted (this allows for quicker password recovery and confirmation when needed)

· Keep your registration information, including current email
address, up to date in so that we can contact you regarding your
account and for retrieving lost passwords.
