And I think it's time for me to take a break from City of Heroes. I may be back when i22 goes live, but at least right now it's not feeling too fun when I log into the game. Apologies to the Player's Choice award winners, but I will keep you in mind and if I get the inkling I will make good on those trailers. But my account will be lapsing in a few days so I won't be able to post here anymore. Until next time.

I would like to recommend Kick-*** but it was rated R by the MPAA. Still when their older this movie is one of the best super hero movies in my opinion. -
Quote:For me, for this blog, for this first year, I'm being very specific so I don't get too overwhelmed. My definition of a "hero" is pretty much a costumed superhero along the lines of Batman or Superman with either special powers or no powers but a costume/gimmick definitely if it was a comic book first. Krull is too much fantasy, he doesn't really have any powers beside the Glaive, and he has no costume (though I do own the movie), Blood would be closer, but there's no real costume to go with it, she's just a vampire in a schoolgirl otufit (though I do own the anime version). Ice Pirates is too sci-fi from what little I remember of it.Originally Posted by Dark One
Gotta ask what your definition of "hero" entails. There's a few movies that may or may not fit your criteria.
Would the movie Krull fit the definition of "hero" for you? I watched it as a kid and it was great fun.
How about the live-action Blood The Last Vampire? Probably wouldn't let a kid watch it due to the violence.
How about Ice Pirates? Another one that was great fun when I was a kid.
Then there The Crow. That one probably is too heavy for a kid to appreciate. Combined with its violence.
Hellboy, at least the first, I'd probably let a kid watch, provided I was there supervising.
Crow and Hellboy are both on the list and I own both of them. There's no way I'm letting her watch The Crow, it's rated R anyway. Hellboy I would probably let her watch. There's no blood, and Rasputin is only briefly scary looking.
The one movie I'm much more on the fence about is Chronicle. They have somewhat traditional superpowers, but no costumes, and it's more about the dark side than the hero side. -
Review of the Incredibles is up, with the animated DVD movie Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths coming up as a bonus review on Tuesday, and Super coming up on Thursday.

no blue in there for me, not that I'm bitter or anything.
I'm pretty close to your number with 44, and I think there's a couple more I played but don't remember. -
The Holy Flame guessed Darrin Wade, but paired him with Manticore. Close, but no cigar
-
The folder should be available for submissions for reals now. I wish I could participate, but I don't think I can drum up something quick or good enough in the amount of time there's left on top of the other stuff I have going on. Time's running out, it'll be the end of the month before you know it. Remember, you can still enter as a free player if you're a member of the #CityOfHeroes deviantArt group.
-
I've said this before, but congratulations again to those who guessed Statesman, since nobody got it exactly right, you all win 123 million inf. I will be sending out e-mails to all of the winners to confirm that the globals are still active. The prizes will go out when I receive replies back.
-
Wow, Spawn was only PG-13? I guess that makes sense, there wasn't really any blood but it was a really dark movie, and yeah didn't have any plans on watching that one with her.
-
Finishing out the Superman series, Superman Returns is up. Captain America the 1990 movie is up, and the new Captain America review will be posted on Thursday.
-
Would love it if someone could make a banner for my Superhero movie blog in my sig. I feel like a good one would be a Superhero and his daughter viewed from the back, sitting in chairs watching a movie on a TV. Superman's costume would probably work the best. Having it 940 x 200 pixels would make it perfect.
-
My pace is slowing down as I've started a new project and have been slowing down a lot on my City of Heroes playing. I'll still be around for a bit, but probably not as much. I'll still be getting these trailers done for the Player's Choice winners, but they may take a bit more time than I originally planned.
Anyway, the first prize from the Player's Choice awards is finished. Check out the winner of the comedy category - Crime is Art and Art is Crime by @Twoflower. -
I've been listening to Kevin Smith's SModcast pretty much ever since it started. It's expanded a ton since then and the ones I still listen to are the original SModcast - talking about anything and everything usually involving movies and sex jokes., Hollywood Babble-On - talking about anything and everything Hollywood related going on during the week along with lots of impressions, Tell-em Steve Dave - another random talking about anything and everything while often giving each other a hard time, and Mohr Stories. Jay Mohr always has an interesting guest with him and you never know who it's going to be.
The other one I listen to, and it's a much more work-safe/family friendly one is Talkin' Toons with Rob Paulsen. It's a great podcast if you like or are interested in voice acting with the voice of Yakko, Raphael, and tons and tons of others. He also often has guests from the voice acting community. The one with Billy West has been my favorite so far. -
More updates! Superman IV and Supergirl have both been posted. Check them out and leave a comment!

I don't know if I would ever want to eat a black hamburger bun, it does not look appetizing at all, it looks moldy.

Added a blog post about violence in superhero movies, will be posting a new blog every Tuesday, though I won't always advertise it here. A question for those watching, would you watch the new Captain America with your kid, if you have one? What if it was a 7 year old boy? What if it was a 7 year old girl? Is there a specific age? What about some other movies that aren't specifically thought of as a hero for adults?

From one of the UStreams, the knockback was actually an error from one of the new devs noticing that the gravitational constant for the world wasn't correct, so he "fixed" it, which also ended up reducing knockback effects because things were suffering from real world gravity instead of comic book gravity.
I've noticed what I call the "knockback hold" for a long time, though it may have gotten worse lately. It used to be a rare but enjoyable occurrence on my MA/SR scrapper. -

Quote:I didn't say anything about removing content. The idea is to remove old zones with little to no content, and move that content to a different older zone alongside revamping it in some cases.Originally Posted by Haetron
... wait, you guys are seriously rallying to have more content -removed-?
Seriously?
Im all for a zone revamp like what was done for Faultline. Heck, I think -every- CoH zone needs to be revisited and given clear story arcs like how redside works. But removing things is bad. -
I may just be in a slump, but I've got enough juice in me to post my review of Superman III just in time for the new year. Enjoy.
-
Personally, I think the game should have less city zones overall. I like the nice starting Atlas Park, especially since it just got revamped. I think there should be a more slummy or run down city zone, like maybe revamp Kings Row to make it more of that type of zone. I think there should also be a nice high end city zone which would be a good fit for Peregrine Island.
Independence Port/Terra Volta is a good concept for a docks type zone, although it doesn't need to be *that* large, unless there's a lot more to do in there, *and* if the missions are packed closer together for more of a progression through the zone rather than skipping around opposite sides of the zone haphazardly.
Faultline is a good all around zone, though I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a new arc put in there. Boomtown and the Hollows are too similar to each other as a "destroyed city zone". Croatoa is great for a more magical/natural zone, and Eden is a pretty nice zone in itself though it could use some more content in there.
I'd like to see more high-tech sci-fi style zones like the oft-requested moonbase zone and maybe a high-tech city zone as well. Oroboros would be a nice starting point for expansion.
Cimerora is another great zone that barely used. It's a beautiful, unique zone that we barely have a reason to go to.
Villainside I think is set up pretty great, though I could easily see a continued revamp of Mercy Island, adding more content to it and destroying Port Oakes to go straight to Cap Au Diablo. Other than the supergroup registrar, Port Oakes is imminently skippable.
Praetoria obviously just needs more content in First Ward, there's enough room to add content for at least 5 more levels and then one more zone to finish out the level range to 50. -
Thanks for the the thoughts on Whack a Mole. I agree it could use a few more enemies. I kept it lighter because I was planning on expanding the arc to parody the other trials as well, but haven't gotten around to that part yet, and not sure if I will anytime soon.
Also, for those running low on arcs they haven't played before, find some arcs to put on the recommended arcs list. This club isn't just about playing each others arcs, it's also about finding other good arcs that haven't been found by a lot of others and sharing those with the rest of the community. -
Quote:There's more than 25 zones - just counting Hero zones. I picked 25 because it's 6 per side, plus 6 co-op/pvp, plus 1. Lowered the OP to 20 anyway, thought it's just a rough number anyway. People who ignore certain sides can choose less, it's all discussion anyway.Originally Posted by dugfromthearth
there are more than 25 zones?
-
In my opinion, the City of Heroes world is getting too big for its population, there's too many zones that look too much alike with content that's too spread apart. I think it was a good first step to destroy Galaxy City, but if you had to whittle City of Heroes down to say 20 zones total - Hero, Villain, Praetorian, and co-op (leave out Praetoria if you wish). Which would they be?
Feel free to add concepts for zones that don't exist as well, and feel free to swap around level ranges.
