_Echoo_

Most excellent.

I don't exactly like this genre split thing.

Some shows are shoehorned in (Freaks and Geeks) and some belong in other categories but were moved for space (Archer). In my mind, that latter problem would've completely outweighed any benefits of this idea. If the field splits evenly into four categories, fine. If it doesn't, who decides what stays in the category and what gets pushed? For the sake of fairness, such arbitrary decisions are better left to random chance.

Worst of all (for me), three of my choices are in this category which really reduces my chances of getting a show to the final four. If I'd known we were splitting them up like this I'd have picked one show for each category, just saying.

EDIT: Oh yeah, my voting:

1. The Oblongs
2. Better Off Ted - Brilliant, kooky and funny. Given time it could've been the new Scrubs, but they canned it instead.
3. The Unusuals
4. Police Squad!
5. Clerks
6. The Tick
7. Andy Richter Controls The Universe - This, also, could've been a strong alternative to Scrubs.
8. Freaks and Geeks

1. Pirates of Dark Water. I've always found Trigun a pretty average and sometimes laborious anime. I wouldn't say I hated it, but I don't think it's all that.
2. Invader Zim. Not seen enough of Afro Samurai to judge it. It looked good, but Zim was simply awesome.
3. NGE. Superbly put together and really original for its time.
4. Freakazoid.
5. Dungeons and Dragons. I'm giving it some love as I still fondly remember some fine episodes from this corny old show.
6. Nadesico. Not a huge fan of either show, but Nadesico had some very funny moments.
7. The Big Guy and Rusty.
8. Cowboy Bebop. Sophisticated, somewhat whimsical and very original. One of the very finest anime series ever made.

A report card: 50 Questions Lost Needed to Answer from io9. Looks like they didn't score too well.

I find it fascinating to read stuff like this, to see what limitations others place on their expectations before the show can fulfill them.

I had to look up "outrigger shoot-out" as I couldn't remember that scene at all. Turns out it was fairly inconsequential anyhow so I'm happy to ignore it.

It is fun to read people on various Lost dicussion forums agonising over it though, hehe.

Alternative ending!



(Apologies if it's been posted already)

I'm very glad to see this thread! Thanks for giving us some of your time, David.

I'm just going to ask for something I've been dying to see since I began playing 4 years ago, and on the surface it seems a simple task but of course I don't know, I hope at least that it's not too difficult:

Shiny shorts! More specifically, some new items based on the Bottoms with Skin options for females and identical to them, except the 'clothing' part of them is shiny to match Tights Sleek.

Even more specifically, the following parts would be my priority:

• All three short shorts (the plain, the one with a slit up the side, and the one with a vent).
• The panty/bikini bottoms.
• The Athletic shorts.

Why? So we can have female heroes show a little more leg while still in a one-piece sleek costume. The current selection only encourages this with a matte outfit and not Tights Sleek. I think that's a shame, especially as most new, awesome costume pieces are shiny too.

There are of course several other bottoms (or tops!) you could look at, but those I listed above are definitely my most deleriously wanted.

So, is that possible?

I'll try and answer a few of your queries:

1. With Arctic Air, personally I think you really need Fitness. Dominators aren't like Controllers, they should be throwing powers out constantly and that's a massive drain, especially the AoEs. My Mind/Psi/Scorp perma-Dom's only toggles are 2 Leadership powers and an armour, that's a fraction of your cost of Arctic Air's plus armour, and he still needs Stamina with Drain Psyche charging as fast as it does. At the very least I would suggest if you want the Stamina-free route to work for you, slot EndRed in your attacks, not just in AA.

2. Surprisingly, Ghost Widow the Dominator patron has always had a so-so set of powers for Dominators. Until the pools were recently expanded, Scirroco's PPP was universally better in every respect than Ghost Widow's. Now, the gap between the two is closer and they each offer something different, but Mu Mastery still has a much better pet and a shorter recharge on its endurance drain power. Whichever pool you take, you can't rely on the AoE damage power to become part of your regular attack chain - the recharge is too long. I've not tried the Psi Assault/Mu combo, but I've tried them on seperate characters and they both add a lot to your survivability. Don't expect to be invincible, but it should be a good mix.

3. Jack's dandy right now. He's a lot more active.

4. Yeah it can be expensive, but my Mind/Psi/Scorp hit perma-dom without resorting to a single LotG and without altering his power selection, just his slotting. It can be done. That said, my current Dom (Grav/Ice/Mu) doesn't even have IOs slotted and is still a demon. I'd say play your Dom first, and see where you're lacking as you level up. Wait until level 26 or 32 before finalising a IO build plan, as those last two primary powers turn the Dom's fortunes around. As Ice/Psi is quite a close range set, +HP, +Regen and +Res/Def couldn't hurt. And without Stamina EndRed and +Recov are a must. You're on the right track with your idea.

I wanted a sort of punky, exploitation movie vibe for my girl.


BANG!
