Now that I am not paying for a second Station Pass subscription, I can check back in on my older games, like City of Heroes and World of Warcraft. I never had played City of Villains, actually, and I’d entirely forgotten how to play these games, so I started a new character to get in the swing of things – Madame Scurry.
