And this one does? Perhaps my caffiene starved, just waking up, fought all night with the X- Ms Spectre brain didn't see it, but where are the patch notes?

[/ QUOTE ]

The patch is applying on my computer right now. Unless it's a hotfix for a bug or exploit, the patch notes would be the accumulated I15 patch notes in the test area.

thanks for the head's up. downloading now

Listen dude, I feel for you, but it's got to be done during somebody's prime time, hasn't it? Ideally the servers wouldnt go down at all. I mean, I want to go hit the walls in Cim, I want to be in the game playing too. And I agree that they should take care to announce unexpected downtime. But you dont see me calling other posters braindead, do you?

I was always impressed that I was able to grab Nemean (The lion that Heracles fought which was invulnerable to weapons) as the name on my one and only Cat Person.

But all of my names are awesome.

And this one does? Perhaps my caffiene starved, just waking up, fought all night with the X- Ms Spectre brain didn't see it, but where are the patch notes?

Correct me if I am wrong, but dont we always have Monday morning server maintainance?

They did a study and asked people whether they'd rather make $80,000 a year (if everyone else made $100K) or $60,000 a year (if everyone else made $50K). Assume that prices do not change.

[/ QUOTE ]

Prices wouldn't change regardless of whether the entire population earned $80k vs. $50k? I call shenanigans.

[/ QUOTE ]
Our shenanigans are cheeky and fun. His shenanigans are tragic and cruel...making them not shenanigans at all, really.

[/ QUOTE ]

I will pistol whip the next person who says shenanigans!

I'm so annoyed that this pile of lame jokes got put in the official cannon. Am I the only one who would like to see Blue Steel be used as an actual character and not just as a punchline?

[/ QUOTE ]

Canon only has one "N" in that context. I don't think there is an official cannon, but if there is, it had better be brass, because brass cannons are prettier. Also, it would be a subtle homage to Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress."

Pedantry aside, the two contexts for Blue Steel are not mutually exclusive. In the end, he is just a lowbie hero zone train with plot arcs that only involve lowbie villain groups. How much attention do Swan or Foresight (or is it Foreshadow?) get? Not every hero gets the Statesman treatment.

[/ QUOTE ]

They dont have to have pages and novels dedicated to the guy, but how about we dont fill the official thread with jokes about him.

From Manticore's Canon Fodder thread in the Dev Digest forum:

[ QUOTE ]
Question: I just pretty much want to know anything and everything there is about Blue Steel, such as how did he come by his powers, why is he not a registered super hero (instead of working for the police)?
Answer:
Blue Steel grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his rage over Tub Ci’s release.
Blue Steel didn’t come by his powers; he sprang full grown from the forehead of Zeus ready for battle.
Blue Steel doesn’t sleep. He waits…for another crack at the Clockwork King.
Castle and BABs put Shield Defense in the game because Blue Steel told them to…or else.
Blue Steel has no Secondary powers. All his powers are Primary.
If you can see Blue Steel, he can see you. If you can't see Blue Steel, you may be only seconds away from defeat.
Blue Steel doesn’t register as a hero. The city registers heroes so Blue Steel doesn’t have to take them down.
Blue Steel told Statesman that PPD trumps FP and Statesman shut up.
Blue Steel destroyed the periodic table, because the only element he understands is the element of surprise.

(I consulted with Ray Snyder, the dev who plays Blue Steel, and he informed me that Blue Steel is a Martial Arts, Shield Defense Scrapper but…Blue Steel doesn’t need an Archetype. Blue Steel *is* an Archetype)

Look at the picture at the top. I posted once about that picture:

Slax believes posi is on a pogo stick. Others believes he REALLY, REALLY has to go potty.

-Posi isn't looking at you, but behind your right shoulder.
-Statesman is rather smug knowing you don't like being stared at.
-Sister Psyche's right eye is infected (the one on the left)

In otherwords, what would be boards be with this troubling image?

I think he's teabagging Synapse. Prove me wrong kids, prove me wrong.

weird

lol that WAS classic

I think BAB just likes to [censored] with people who follow links in the Dev Digest.

For heroes, I liked Sefu Tendaji. May he rest in peace.

For villains, it's all about Ghost Widow. It may be cliche, but I like that cliche.

I saw that, but do those numbers include the proposed I-15 update?

I change my submission of PurpleKnobgobbler to

PinkKnobgobbler

you said insulting names were permitted. just be glad I didn't abuse the fact that for some reason Piss is permitted in our forum and submit something like PissKisser

Hmmm that's a strong argument.

That sounds more like what I might do, PK.

Yeah... I'm not gonna do that.

A bold red word next to a series of dull greyish white words calls the attention of the eye and nags at an unconscious level to have attention payed to it. It's fairly basic psychology, whatever your name is this month.

It's true. My ignore list is always full of spammers, and there are always 5 or 6 new ones waiting for me every [censored] day

I think the PVP excuse is extremely flimsy, and that is being generous. I think Sony simply decided it wasn't worth the additional time and hours it would take, and that they believe, based on this game's overall success, that people will play a super hero game without it for at least 5 years.
