Mystery Mayhem is the most fun I've had in years. And I can't wait for other heroes to be unlocked. But I don't want it to go away.
I hate flashpoint maps, but I would love to play them in this game mode. Maybe make the point an extra 60 seconds to cap. This mode would get me on those maps.
I don't want the fun to end.
This came up in my Facebook feed. If people are still supporting local and boycotting US companies, this seems like a good place to support. Copying their post verbatum here.

For 15 years, we’ve been in the business of scaring Islanders. This year, we’re the ones who are scared.
Halloween Central was born right here in PEI. What started as one store on the North River Causeway grew to locations in Summerside and Nova Scotia, and at our peak we employed 78 people.
Our daughters grew up with Halloween Central it was their first job. Now our grandchildren are growing up around it too. The little girl at the cash register in our first photo is our granddaughter, playing store just last week.
But this story is about much more than our family. It’s about what shopping local really means.
For 15 years, Halloween Central has supported other businesses right here at home. Our signs are printed at FastSigns, our business cards and price tags at Press For Time, our accounting is done by MRSB, our oil comes from Kenmac and our cleaning supplies from Kays-A1.
We also hire local businesses for our furnace, roof, plumbing, security, cameras, graphic design, lawn care, snow removal and property maintenance.
Money spent at a locally owned business gets spent again with other local businesses that employ other Islanders.
SOMETHING CHANGED FOR HALLOWEEN CENTRAL LAST YEAR.
Spirit Halloween, a large U.S. based seasonal retailer, opened in Charlottetown. This year, in the former Toys “R” Us location.
Last year, after they entered the Charlottetown market, our sales dropped approximately 70%.
We hoped this year would be different.
It isn’t. It’s worse.
With September coming to an end, Halloween Central has taken in only about $2,000 in sales for the month not even enough to cover our wages for the period.
Our sales are now down more than 80%.
See what we have. Talk to our staff. Compare our prices.
And when you compare, make sure you’re comparing Canadian dollars to Canadian dollars.
At Halloween Central, our prices are displayed in Canadian dollars, and we match advertised Canadian prices.
At Spirit Halloween, we found some merchandise marked only with a U.S. price, while other tags display the U.S. price prominently with the Canadian price in much smaller print. We also found merchandise where the displayed price had been covered and the item had to be taken to the cash to determine its current price.
Look carefully. Compare. Then make your own decision about where you want your Halloween dollars to go.
Our shelves are full.
Our parking lot is empty.
That has to change.
Halloween Central cannot survive as it is today.
If things don’t change, Halloween Central may not be here for another Halloween.
Spirit Halloween operates more than 1,550 seasonal stores across North America.
Halloween Central has one.
Spirit come to PEI for the Halloween season.
This is our home. And when Halloween is over, we would still like to be here.
Halloween Central opens every Friday throughout the year because Islanders need costumes for more than Halloween birthday parties, school events, theme parties, fundraisers, plays, special occasions and sometimes that unexpected costume somebody suddenly needs in February.
If we want local businesses to be here when we need them, we have to support them while they’re here. Once they’re gone, wishing we still had them won’t bring them back.
We’re not asking anyone to shop with us out of pity, and we’re not telling anyone where they have to spend their money.
We’re simply asking Islanders to give local a chance.
In a community our size, where we choose to spend our money matters.
If you want PEI to continue having a locally owned, year-round costume store, we need your support this year.
Whatever happens from here, we will always be incredibly grateful to the Islanders who have supported Halloween Central over the years.
You are the reason one little store on the North River Causeway grew into something much bigger than we ever imagined.
We’ve participated in community events, dressed up in ridiculous costumes, driven our Halloween Central hearse around, made friendships and collected memories we’ll always cherish. The old pictures we’re sharing today brought back memories we’d almost forgotten.
We hope it isn’t the end of our story.
Our daughters grew up with Halloween Central. For many years, October brought out entire together as one team everyone had a role, everyone knew what needed to be done, we simply pulled together and got it done.
For our family, October meant Halloween Central.
Now our grandchildren are growing up around it too.
We’re just asking for the chance to keep the story going.

Warboars, as far as I'm aware, are not an orkoid species. They won't sprout from ork spores like squigs will. So, that would mean that the orks would need to find boars. Which I assume are not a native species on the vast majority of planets in the galaxy.
So... how do they get the boars?
Obviously Barbosa et al. went there to get the charts to Davy Jones' Locker. But why was Beckett's men there as well? I don't see them being there of their own accord because of Sao Feng.
The passage of time would mean little to them, and you'd think you'd want at least one crew member conscious in case something goes wrong. So why do they 'sleep'?
We declined additional TFWs when offered. Let's decline this too. Two wins in a week for the Conservative government. I would be shocked.
Talon is the bad guys.
The Junkers are a different group of bad guys, but they're helping Talon.
The Deadlock gang is a different group of bad guys, but they're helping Talon.
The Shimada clan is a different group pf bad guys, but they're helping Talon.
For once... I would like to have some interaction where the bad guys all have their own agendas, and are not on the same page. Everyone is always "these are the good guys, and these are the bad guys."
So, with that in mind... I want to see Null Sector attack Talon.
So, there are entire Borg planets. We know Earth in an alternate timeline was 10 billion Borg. We know other Borg planets exist because Species 8472 destroyed one. And we know there are over 10000 species cataloged by the Borg, so at least that many homeworlds.
There are likely trillions of Borg.
How exactly is the entire galaxy not Borg already? Why on both occasions did they send just one Cube to Earth to assimilate it when they could send 50 and have it done in hours?
Just got a new house and I've been to the page before to get a free electic water heater. But that page seems to have been removed and I can't find anything on a PEI website.
It would suck of it ended a few days before I got the house, I hate being on oil heat.
Moving to a new home after 19 years, last home was heated with wood. My new one is oil. Any recommendations for an oil company or are they all basically the same?
Several homes in my area have these in their yards now. A hawk kite attached to a pole so that it is always airborne.
I figure its a pest deterrent, I just wondered what the pest was.
I can remember seeing flash mob videos more than once a day years ago, but there doesn't seem to be any anymore. Did the fad just disappear?
Got this in an email, because for some reason I'm on the Green Party mailing list:
>Due to a tragedy impacting our Island communities, the District 16 Debate originally scheduled for tonight, Tuesday, July 7th, has been postponed.
>Updated dates and times will be shared as they become available.
>Matt MacFarlane
>Leader of the Green Party of PEI
I assume this is because of the accident at the Bridge
The example I will give is Ralph Macchio. Last year he earned his black belt in Goju-ryu karate, which would be the closest analog for Miyagi-do karate.
So, I'm just wondering if there are other actors who had to portray certain skills in movies and then ended up actually learning the skills afterwards to the point where it is recognized?
