Nekkid Rikti!!! run!!!

Maybe it's just me, but the fanservice flip in her skirt makes the "gap" too wide. And her bent leg's got a strange ridge down the middle of it.

Other than that, great piece as usual, Doug! DC would be crazy to pass you up!

More please!

are you going to sell the computer at the online store, too?!?

*drooools....*

Does this mean you'll finally put a stop to those annoying, non-constructive "first" posts?

*crosses fingers*

Holy...is that a loft?!?

That's an awesome idea!

edit: how did you do it?!?

double edit: okay, I just found out about floating magic desks, great use of the trick!

Holy...wow.

*dreams of what our own Poser expert (DarkJedi) would come up with*

*drools*

Dark, you so winz teh internets!

*fires Excelsior Messaging for revealing my daughter's secret identity in an advertisement*

Wait a sec...when did I have a daughter?

*hires lawyer*

Yikes...if that article didn't scare you about the future of in-game advertising, I don't know what will.

I'm amazed they actually said they'd be doing everything they could to get us to look at the ads and opt-in...and that this is just the START of IGA!!

Seriously, I'm hoping this fails miserably cuz no good can come from this. Advertisers are already influencing game development decisions and they're not even in-game yet!

*shudder*

so...much...awesome...

*pants asplode*

Kudos to the OP, very well thought out and very eye-opening for some of us who have been here for so long and take for granted that everyone has had the same experience.

When I started, there was no Hollows, no difficulty slider, no vet rewards, no radio missions, no SupaTrolls, no badges, no loot, no reduced debt for indoor missions, no debt protection till level 10, no Pocket D, and no NPC stores in Kings Row.

A lot has changed in those early levels and, you're right, it may be time for the devs to re-examine the effects those changes have made in gaining new players.

Loved the Game Dialogue Gems featuring Becky (the valley-girl) Tarantula Mistress!!

That's one of my fav missions red-side, because of her!

Too cute! What an awesome story

*hands Flame a Friends of Old Kings Row t-shirt*

Awesome work as usual, Doug! Just a few questions:

1) When did Statesman go emo?
2) Where can I get those Giant Robot Gundam legs in-game?!?
3) When is someone going to finally snatch you up and put you to work on a regular comic?!?

wow. awesome costumes and great job of emoting!!

Looks like it was a tough choice, the top 3 were all top knotch! I can't believe Komic Kitten made those banded gloves!! And they looked good!!

Now tell us the secret...which one is really a dude?

I'm liking the possibility of finally finding out if the player/s who took the names Backfire, Back Fire, and Back-Fire on that ONE server even play/s any more!

Then I could finally begin "negotiations"

Gah! Must set hide options on Batman clone..errr...'homage.'

To the Dark-Cave!! --===@

Yikes! the States-Glove looks like it'd leave a nasty mark!! Great piece as usual!

Level 6?!?

C'mon...if you don't even have a travel power what's the use?

Make it MINIMUM lvl 14, I'd say 20+ is even more reasonable.

Level 6? Hah!

Holy carp!!! Marv Wolfman was a judge?!? Man, I gotta read the fine print next time.

Great job to the winners and everyone who entered, the more comics the gooder!

Gah! you lowered my baby!!!

Element-01's greatest arch-nemesis = speed bumps!

Thanks for the pimping!

Guess it beats giving it a Nemesis Staff

I bought myself a new toy for my birthday...a 2007 Honda Element EX.

And being the comic geek that I am, was thinking of adding some details to it!

I'm thinking of having a local sign shop do it up on adhesive vinyl. Any suggestions from the creative community before I take the plunge?

For a slightly different perspective on the story, check out Top Down Paragon's radio coverage, available in streaming or downloadable versions.

Huge *thanks!* to DJ Jester and w00t for putting this together!
