Yeah.. because I, the married one with a 7 month old got 21/21




And I, also married, with a 10 month old daughter, got the same score.

Adulthood intensifies geeky trivia knowledge ability.


I sense a trend here...

Married?: Check.
New Child?: Check (10 month old daughter as well!)
Intensified Comic Geek Trivia Knowledge?: Check

21 out of 21

Beware the procreating geeks, for they shall truly inherit the earth!!!

Only 18 out of 21....which would explain why I'm the engaged one out of this group, right.......



I keed, I keed

I can't wait to find out which hero(ine) defeated/killed Foreshadow when he was in his last "evil" incarnation.

Drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Mako is definitely not a Coralax.


[/ QUOTE ]

Captain Mako? What, not good enough for General Mako, or Commander Mako? Heck, I thought villains got to give themselves their titles anyway, why reach so low and pick Captain? What's next, Recluse, Duke of lower Unctberry?

At least pick Major Mako! It's one rank up, sounds nicer, and implies more of a bad@%$

On a side note, he's starting to sound a bit like a nemesis villain I had planned for my hero, Orca Hope when we hear more I find some major differences.

Here's a guess

Brute: scorpion armor
Stalker: shark man
Enforcer: blue girl
Mastermind: Recluse
Dominator: not shown

Hmmm, quite interesting. He/She/It has some of the characteristics of a villain/nemesis I was thinking up for my hero.

Looks like I might get to create him afterall!

Kinda disappointed that there are only four main villains (Recluse, scorpion guy, blue lady, and shark head). The rest are all Arachnos minions Hope they just didn't want to give it all away too early.


As for the Coralax being good, I believe States said no EAT's until after CoV, so they could be good, bad, or both.

Someone figured out the reference for Issue 4 when it was first annonced....it's a bit of a competition actually, can't wait till I5 is announced!

But, ya know, I never did figure out the story connection, even to the point that I posted another thread asking what part of the story would connect to the title.

Now I see that I missed a major theme of the chapter of the book, and that the bigger connection was staring us in the face all along(Sister Psyche returning to her body).

Nice work.

If you do a search of my handle from the last week, I started a thread to take guesses on Issue 5's title. My guess came from a chapter of The Lost World. Feel free to add your own.

LIGHTS!!!!

But what scares me is that, in the end, I DID see just Three lights.......

Awesome episode!


Oh, and until this GAME, which I do very much enjoy, cures Cancer or World Hunger, it is still:

Just a GAME!

And in the end....

It's

Still

only

a

GAME!!!

I concur with the esteemed Doctor Why about it feeling at times like the article is one of those "informecials" that the news has been getting hounded about here in the U.S. for lately.

But, if that turns into part of the story, well, hats off to you Gil and co.

In thinking about it more, I contemplated the fact that the main problem for me, instead of the IG/OOG complaint, may actually be it's "discuss-ability" factor. One of the things I liked about the other articles was that almost every time a new thread or two popped up on the boards to discuss some of the info in them. Sometimes they were IG discussions: "Why is Statesman upset with Calvin Scott?" Sometimes they were OOG discussions: "The Paragon Times article points out the lack of diverse building skins in the city".
And the really good ones, for me anyone, cause threads of both types to pop up.

So, I rescind the IG/OOG comment on my original post.

Same to you Poz. Have enjoyed the game immensely.

Now, for snacks, head on over to Sik's thread:

Mmmmmm, buffet..

Postitron saves the day!!!!!!

I can see all the rioters heading back to their respective rant threads.

Phew!

Yeah, I didn't think it would be Sun either, but it means it could be as early as Sun...

What happens when the Scrapper and SS/SJ posters read that?

*doubles his poncho count, and covers his computer in flame-retardant sheets*

Well said Gil, well said.

(especially love the "sucks so bad light can't escape" line, almost spit up soda )

If there are any in-game anniversary celebrations, find me, and I'll buy ya a drink!

Actually looking at the wording of such a badge... I would expect issue 4 to go live at the beginning of may.

And May 1st is this Sun.......

I think the boards might blow up! I'm gonna get a poncho!

Gil,
First, let me say that I am sorry if my earlier post came off as too negative or targeting. I certainly didn't mean it as a personal attack of any kind. As I said at the end of it, I really do appreciate the time and effort you guys put into these things, and I look foward to more of them.

Really, all I wanted to convey in my last post was that it was the least favorite of the articles for me, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I could have just said that, without the specific reasons, but I thought that wasn't productive. I figured just posting "I didn't like it" doesn't really help much, whereas, "Here's some things that made it not as compelling" is at least productive.

It appears, though, that I may have been too harsh, so again, I apologize. They are your articles, so please, write them as you see fit. And believe me, you are doing a nice job, because for the last month or so, I have been looking foward to Wed. and the article update, which is more than I can say for most games I've played.

Due to the upcoming Power Sets Manticore is actually a Trick Arrow, Archery Defender. Also, his arch-enemy is called Protean, not Doppleganger.


[/ QUOTE ]

Two things:

1) Is it possible that the archery power is actually going to be applied to more than one AT? Or, could it be that, as a blaster powerset, it will get a def. sec? Weird if it was just a defender power.

2) Is the change from Doppleganger to Protean the last of the 5th Column removal work, or are there parts that you missed?

Just wanted to say that this was my least favorite of the articles, for a few reasons:

1) As already pointed out, it felt too OOG and not IG.

2) It had too much of a corny joke feel to it (especially the putt-putt and AAA B-ball line)

3) It didn't sound like a sports page article. Take it from someone who reads that sports page ALOT, the "author" didn't sound like a Mike Lupica or Bob Ryan. Plus, no "athlete" quotes.

4) It didn't give any new information, at least for me. I could find the same info(except the Olympic bid part) on the web site already.

A possible improvement may have been an extra section with box scores and game schedules.

What I really would have liked was an article or an editorial pointing out how the city just spent millions/billions of dollars on three stadiums for heroes, yet haven't spent a dime on cleaning up Boomtown!

This is all just constructive criticism, of course, so take it for what it's worth. In the end, whether I like the article or not, I really do appreciate the time, effort, and enginuity Gil and his team put into them. You guys are awesome, and are another prime example of why this game has the best dev team around.

19. Will there be loot?

Oooh baseless speculation - I'd guess that loot wouldn't be like typical MMO loot (ie k.o. the hero get two scraps of spandex, and a hero hanky) but be things you can steal to place in your base, like that big glowing rock in the MAGI room of City Hall that provides instant teleportation back to the base in case of a hero raid, or one of the Medi-com teleporters from a hospital (to allow you to respawn in your base instead of where Villains would normally respawn), etc. And those would be the types of things that enable your base to be raided so heros can attempt to recover the equipment. Which of course necessitates devious traps, like that squad of Jump Bots you purchased at insane markup from the Sky Raiders and programmed to defend it, or of course, the ever popular giant lasers...

Most likely, I'm sure....

Back when my main was in his early twenties, I had a few different names/pronunciations for the Tsoo sorcerors, but none are printable here.

Are we getting a new tailor in the game too? At first, I thought it was just part of the story. But then, on page two, there was a picture.

Was that just a made up shot, or might we see a new tailor in the game?

Recently did some missions vs. Nemesis. Sent me to buildings owned by two corporations. One was named Gordonless. The other Lovewest.
