    The Television

    Hmmm, this new redname bears watching.
  5. Congrats to War Witch for the promotion. You seem like really good people, so I quite pleased to hear good things are happening for you.

    Congrats to Posi for moving back into creative and fun work. NOW GET TO WORK! FASTER! Heh, I keed. Thanks for the way you've lead the team, as amazing things happened while CoX was in your hands.

    Hmmm, a "Television" dev. This one bears watching. *rimshot*

    Hope you like lemon. Or cookies.
    So we're getting...Latin American musicians and dancers as minions? I assume that the lemony cookie and pie minions are in "Going Rouge".

    You heard it here first! Masterminds are not only getting demon summoning, but menagerie as well!
  8. It seems silly to continue to pay for a game you're not enjoying in hopes of learning more about upcoming content. The news will come regardless of whether your account is active, and the game will still play the same regardless of whether news has been released or not. Of course, if you're like me and still enjoying the game, then by all means enjoy.

    That being said, yes, I'm awaiting news on Going Rogue with baited breath. Today my breath is baited with turkey.
  9. "Vacationers at the Pocket D Ski Chalet were surprised today to find that several Council Vampyrii had closed off access to the ski slopes in protest of the chalet's use of the bunny slope. The protesters were calling on the Chalet to end its exploitation of the endangered ski bunny and her natural habitat."

    Or even an elevator that I have to go up and down several flights of stairs to get to.

    I'm not against the idea of getting puzzles in the game per se, but this is a superhero-themed MMO. Any puzzle would have to fit within that theme. A Riddler-style or Sphinx-style supervillain would fit in wonderfully. A Tetris minigame or eight level tower of Hanoi would not.
  12. * PvP has been revamped once again. Now, heroes and villains entering PvP zones will only have access to one power: the Care Bear Stare.

    ...or...

    * PvP has been revamped once again. With the success of super sidekicking, the devs now introduce "super travel suppression". Characters entering PvP combat will not only have their travel powers suppressed, but their movement suppressed as well. There is a bug that causes characters in combat to be teleported to a point about 5 yards apart. The devs promise to fix this bug right after they get done fixing the Cathedral of Pain trial.

    I dunno about you, but I'm grabbing some popcorn.
  15. I actually have an Assault Rifle blaster of mutant origin. That's because he was born with low level telepathy, i.e. Mental Manipulation is his secondary. I'm also planning a magic origin dual pistols corrupter. And that's because she's a semi-divine spirit who's possessed a gun toting operative, and she has solar powers (thermal radiation secondary). We get two powersets. Sometimes one is more relevant to our origin than the other.
  16. The new Godwin's law: As any internet thread goes longer, the probability that an argument over Barack Obama will break out approaches one. Or maybe that's Spider-Man, I dunno.

    So...Dr. Stephen Fayte is Praetorian Nemesis?

    Um...it's a Nemesis plot.
  19. So the devs have given us something extra for the holidays.

    Because it wouldn't be truly a comic book style lore without an occasional continuity glitch. That or Tyrant has been punching the wall dividing our reality from the Praetorian universe, resulting in a few hiccups in the timestream.

  22. The next one is 99.94% certain to be mutant-themed. And I seem to recall a dev suggesting that number of animal-like monster heads would likely be included in such a pack, though plans could certainly have changed between now and then.

    And why am I suddenly thinking there might be some Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends inspired costume change animations? Eh. Just crazy speculation on my part.

    Indeed. A new character profile or two would be awesome. That Tyrant profile has been "Coming Soon" for an awfully long time.

    Oh, and a Red Ryder BB gun temporary power for the Winter Event.
