  1. They're definitely not all fake, but then again I often get into the finals with my best works.
  2. Maybe they had an accessory (in black) that you didn't see.

    Because you know. That'd make all the difference.

    No Normal Wings?

    Consider how many other recipies are in the game for wings. There are only two vetran reward wings. 15 months isn't all that long, really. Plus they really are the kind of thing that DOES make you feel special once you've earned em.
  4. Well, at least Bass's avatar will make sense again
  5. Yes, scooped, twice, in the comic section.
  6. Well to be fair, Sharpies come in many different types these days. I do heavy inks with them, but I normally ink with a Uniball Vision Fine or Vision Exact depending on how thick I want my lines. I absolutely sucked at using a nib pen, and never, ever want to touch a brush pen again. I like clean, easy lines for my OWN work, because mainly I'm putting it up online as web art, so it's not that big of a deal for me. I'm just gonna color *inside* the lines anyway lol.

    My earliest PM is from Statesman in August of 2004, in response to my question, "will Scrappers ever get Super Strength?"

    His answer was that no existing powersets would ever be ported to the other ATs.

    Oh THAT is a keeper, isn't it.
  8. Newb > n00b > nub.

    Nubs are like what n00bs can call noob, because they phail even at n00bness. Or, are simply being insulted by jerks outside the nub/n00b/newb circle.

    "Get an epic mount, nub!"

    Buy Vet Rewards?

    That pretty much has been the MO for others who've complained about such things. "But but but, I WOULD have played!" Doesn't cut it, eh?

    No Normal Wings?

    One other way I've developed (though I hadn't needed to, since I've been around since before vet rewards came out, and therefore have always had the angelic wings) is to put the "Cherub" wings on the earlier version of the character. That way later on, they "grow" into the bigger ones. If it fits the character obviously. But yeah the Valk wings are a really good substitute.
  11. Lol whenever I'm at the convention and watching someone trying out the game, I have to resist yelling, "TAB TAB TAB! SPACE BAR! Jump! Don't forget to jump and tab!!" hehehe.

    It's something that'll give your pinkie a workout, but it'll become second nature pretty quickly. Jumping and tabbing will give you a slightly bigger field of targets, but sometimes you'll have something in your enemy sights and *not be able to find them*, just look carefully around including up and down around you until you see the reticle around them.
  12. Just make sure that you're tabbing and reading your enemy info. You may very well have drifted right past them, and without having read the enemy information never have known. They're *all over* Kings row, so a quick trip around the edges will get you a lot of em at varying levels.

    my idea

    Consider that every model for heroes and villains (not npc's) must - MUST - be able to perform every single animation for every power and emote successfully. In order to make sure they can do that, that's THOUSANDS of animations to be worked out.

    There will hopefully be more animal heads sometime, but don't hold your breath, as I've heard Sexy Jay doesn't much care for the furries.

    Tentacle arms are extremely unlikely, as they can't perform the animations.

    Buy Vet Rewards?

    Right, but "on and off" is not "vetran" the same way as the rest who've been playing the whole time, right? Just saying.

    Buying into something to cheat your way past any requirement is not just lame, but stupid in the long run.

    Buy Vet Rewards?

    I would actually put more money on accounts which have been purchaced, *not being played* any more. The kind of love-em and leave-em attitude which would spur anyone to buy an already-existing account would also lend itself to abandoning it once it's boring.

    Buy Vet Rewards?

    *high fives Xmas and Forbin*

    Oh yeah.
  17. heheh

    That's pretty neat, not my kinda thing but it looks good. Wonder how they keep it without a fee? Is this a side project from people doing other more profitable stuff?
  18. Oh those are neat!

    And of course, the halflife 2 barn is already sold, I loved that thing
  19. Also consider that black and white lineart is far more demanding in terms of skill than letting colorists do all the detail work.

    I've seen plenty of comic art over the years - and the rapid decline of skill after Image started up, and seeing the slow buildup of actual real talent again... inking is necessary. Whether it's done traditionally or otherwise I can count on one hand the number of pencillers who can adequately make their line work so clean that it can be directly colored.

    Comic art is its own style. It doesn't have to be anything other than what it is.

    Better solution: Change the silly system to not penalize people for paying early.

    Seriously.

    It's kinda like they just completely invented stuff without even looking out their window to see how it's done in the real world
  21. Holy cow that's a lot of people. ... How many of them actually *chat* in it?

    I mean... I'm in Jello Shooters where we kind of concentrate on quality nuttiness over quantity of it, and I can't even imagine that many people in one chat area... O.O We usually peak at like... 100ish on at any given time heheh.

    Brand New

    Well if you have an old account and know the login and NC account information you can upgrade with a new box product code and still have your old toons (unless you've already made a new one, which ... well, it's new anyway!)

    Welcome back!

  24. I've had rabbit a total of once in my life, and it was a loooong time ago. The only thing I remember about it at all, was that they killed it using *buckshot* so you had to pick out all these pieces of shot... durrr. I'm assuming that people don't normally do that, where rabbits are typically considered a meal?

    That's fine by me, rent is ridiculously cheap when you're in a single-person 'group' that pretty much exists only to have teleporters and a med bay
