  3. Welcome back to the game GA.

    If youre seeing massive farm broadcasts, it probably means Atlas Park is the setting. Get out of there, run some teams, TFs etc and youll be fine. I personally dont judge all of Freedom on farming/PLing based in AP anymore than I judge the whole of Virtue on the RP regularly taking place in Pocket D.

    When I can play, Im on Virtue and Freedom...I enjoy both. Get into an active SG coalition, jump on the chat channels and you'll have fun either way you decide to go.

    GL & HF
  4. Even though I can't currently play due to being overseas...I like this.
    Good hustle sir.

    But to me when you lie and get caught everything else is invalidated because you lied. Straight and simple. If it's okay to you that someone lies to prove a point that's great and fine by me, but not to me.

    Not only does it show your not trust worthy person. It also shows to the nature of the person. She lied in an attempt to make someone else look bad or foolish. Which makes it even worse. I don't care about it's the internet. That shows the true value of a person when they have to stoop so low to lying on a game forum just to make themselves look good and make someone else look bad or attempt to do so.

    Is life so crappy for someone that they have to come to a game forum to knock someone down to make themselves feel better ? Just saying..

    And as I said she now diverts all attention to the scrapper and we forget the 10 pages she posted in about this phantom Dom she has.

    Now that this person lied and got caught how can you honestly trust anything they have to say or even debate. Their word is meaningless now since on the internet all you have is your word. And if you can't even keep your word here I can only imagine what these people do in real life.
    Again, a lot of text and I refer you back to this statement...

    **I think the reality of this situation for most can be summed up in three words, "who really cares?"**

    If you feel this strongly about an anonymous forumite you'll never meet or actually know...the IRL people in your life must have very high standards to live by.

    Maybe if I had more free time on my hands, I could find it easier to get worked up about things that happen online.
    I take that back...I wouldnt.

    BUT

    Regardless of what he is saying He did hit the mark with Reppu. She posted a cropped image showing a build failing to show the most important parts. She skirts the issue and fails to post a new pic. I mean really how hard is it to post a new pic ? You did it the first time. The button is right on top to add a picture. So it not like you have to learn HTML or something.

    Dech offered to be an impartial test subject and she never agreed, I don't even think she even acknowledged his offer.

    Again I have no stake in this crazy thread beyond calling Reppu out on this.
    I do think she back peddled after doing all this napkin math.

    Post a pic.. Take the challenge. But don't refute THB and refuse to do either because it really shows you were just talking out of your backside.

    I mean honestly what is the WORST that can happen.. Absolutely nothing. Dech gets 2 useless level 50 toons. You loose the challenge which has no reward or punishment. So THB comes back and says he spanked you.. And ?? What ego bruised ? People find out who you are in RL and send you hate mail and weight watchers coupons ?

    The only way you look bad is if you really do not have what your saying. Which to me after after being called out the first time about the pic I would post a proper image just to shut the guy up. Heck I would pay a Chinese farmer to PL and buy INF on a toon just to make my point. But that's just me.

    Again yes I do agree THB is grinding against his screen while simultaneously looking in a mirror and giving himself high fives as was previously mentioned. I would also image he does his best imitation of buffalo bill from silence of the lambs looking into a mirror to wild horses playing in the background in the basement of his moms house.

    BUT... BUT..

    When you drive through all this craziness he called out Reppu and she failed to accept the challenge. I don't care what excuse she gives. She dodged his challenge and made more excuses about the image instead of posting a new proper and correct image. Dech was going to bear witness and as forum posters go Dech is honest and trustful person. I certainly would take his word on the accounts. Plus he can post screen shots. And on top he clearly made it apparent that he neither hates or likes these 2 people so he has no vested interest in seeing either succeed over the other. Honestly you could have 7 players there as long as they have some sort of invis or stealth not to interfere with the process. Someone could record it even.

    Again so many options are available. But posting a proper pic of the build would be a really good and simple start.

    Nutshell

    I don't think Reppu can do anything she mentioned. I don't think she has this toon slotted the way she posted. I don't think she has a billion INF Scrapper. I don't think she has the mastermind she post a build about. I think its all forum epeen and internet bravado.

    I would imagine some sort of reply from Reppu along the lines of I'm not gonna do it because post or just a complete ignore of the thread or attack me but still ignore the challenge.
    Thats a lot of text...
    I think the reality of this situation for most can be summed up in three words, "who really cares?"

    If Rep can back it up...great.
    If Rep cant back it up...then chalk it all up to a theoretical exercise.

    If you put so much effort into "calling people out" or feel that someone can look good or bad based on 10+ pages of nonsense, you have to look at the true value of that. People's opinions of others in this thread, combined with 25 cents wont get you a cup of coffee.

    At the end of the day, this is an internet forum based on a video game that allows us to create characters that shoot laser beams out of their eyes and control plants.
    Just saying...
  7. I have to admit, whenever I see a post by Two Headed Boy...I skip the first few pages and throw myself into the middle in order to get a good laugh. That's usually accomplished by reading posts of him going head to head with others. Once again sir or ma'am, you have not failed me and I appreciate it.

    Thats amazing because I usually see the same thing or imagine that he is looking in the mirror, high-fiving himself.

    Thank you THB
  8. I dont know how the #s play out against each other, but Defs get that +30% damage buff when solo now as well.
    Does it compete with Scourge? Im not sure...

    Speed

    Great time on the run and congratz.

    To the fun aspect...some people love collecting badges or working on SG bases. It cant get much more boring to me than that, but I can appreciate that someone else has a blast with those layers of the game.
  10. Im mostly a ranged toon guy...only have 1-2 Brutes and Scrappers.
    So Im not hating, just asking...

    Would there be that big of a difference playing Spines on a Brute over Scrapper?

    I seem to remember they responded to long ago complaints about the uselessness of blaster melee attacks by giving them a substantial damage buff & that gave rise to Blappers...don't remember exactly when, but it was well prior to IOs.
    Agreed, Ice/Enrgy Blapper was one of my 1st toons...way before IOs.

    Arent the heavy hitters in Energy's secondary basically a version of that comic book martial arts guy, Iron Fist?

    I liked Starfox in the old Avengers' comic...kind of a comical deal.
    He was pretty standard with the "super punch in the face, flight" etc powers but had the additional ability to make the ladies panties wet.

    He'd serve better as a cameo role in whatever porn version of the Avengers is being produced.
  13. Yall better start hiding your Energon Cubes now.

    Yeah, exactly lol.

    Obviously not always but...I think that's pretty much the standard across the board for anything:

    good guys = fair complexion, blonde hair & blue eyes, vibrant outfits etc
    villains = darker, dark hair, dark eyes, dark costumes etc.

    Quick examples off the top of my head would be Cap vs R.Skull and Thor vs Loki.

    In game I always try to flip that concept by making my heroes look somewhat villainous and creating my villains with more of a heroic aspect.
  16. Itll probably work out better for those players that actually bump their mob/difficulty levels up.

    And if Cap is supposed to be the perfect specimin of human evolution, why is he butt ugly? (to me anyway)
    The Sentry can control his own molecules and reform himself from what Ive seen. He's also come back after running himself into the sun, so if hes "dead" now...I think its because he wants to be (or the writers want him to be).

    As far as Cap's looks go, I dont think you can get much more pure, all american, anglo-saxon, blonde haired and blue eyed than him. He was created to be a super patriotic archetype and I suppose those features are what many see as the standard for that concept. Same effect I think Hitler was shooting for.

    It seems that the military was more concerned with the SSS fine tuning a soldier's physical and mental abilities to peak levels versus making him/her "look cuter". The scientific personnel working the project should have had someone from America's Top Model as an advisor as well I guess.

    I think the most popular farmer trend is SS/Fire/Mu vs SS/Fire/Pyre. Search for 'farming' under the Brute section...you'll find millions of threads there.

Plus I was not a fan of how he was shoehorned into continuity by saying that he erased the world's memories of him.

    IF Marvel really feels they need a "Superman" they already have THOR, but if another one must be created, make him a new hero and none of his continuity shoehorning garbage.
    I dont think it was as simple as this; it seems like some actual thought went into the concept of introducing the character and I kind of dug the process behind it.

    As far as being a knockoff Superman, other than sharing some of the same powesets that a million other heroes/villains have (flight, superstrength etc), it looks like thats where the similiarities end. He supposedly got a SSS that was a million times more powerful than the one used on CPT America. Sentry's powers seem to be more mind over matter, in addition to teleportation, obviously being able to resurrect himself and others, energy blasts, some mental abilities etc. the list goes on. If you want to compare the Sentry to one of the strongest icons on the DC side, I can understand...but it sounds more like the Sentry is to Superman what Galactus is to The Hulk.

    Anyways, one of those things to agree to disagree on. Im just a fan of conflicted and troubled characters, especially since it was revealed he started off as a drug addict that accidentally got his hands on the SSS versus...well, Superman. You can only create so many characters origins that start off as the lone, alien survivor sent to earth.

    That character is nothing but a convoluted trainwreck and a cheap rip off of Superman. Good riddance to him
    Good riddance? You make it sound like hes gone; he brought himself back to life like three times while I was reading some stuff recently.

    I get the gist of what youre saying, but I actually liked the original concept of the Sentry and even his recent direction.

    As far as a rip off, sure...but what main comic characters/powers arent basically copies of others? We could fill a page of TLDRness with Green Arrow/Hawkeye and Flash/Quick Silver references.

    I prefer characters that have issues. To me, its better than just being an all powerful, staright forward, good guy with a couple of weaknesses that most dont or cant exploit.

    While I'm a fan, I just dont find the straight forward Superman archetype of heroes very interesting.

    **edit** Ive been on a military post for a minute and cant find any Super Soldier Serum anywhere
  21. That Super Soldier Serum is pretty remarkable. In comic book land, a guy named Sentry got his hands on an enhanced version of it and it basically made him omnipotent. I think he killed Ares the God of War awhile back and then Thor supposedly took him out...emphasis on supposedly since he was killed a few times prior but then was able to bring himself back to life somehow.

    Where can I get some?

    As for "better" than Norton? Couldn't say.
    Norton had an entire movie to flesh out a heroic, expressive Banner.
    Ruffalo was portraying a more diffident, emotionally damaged and isolated Banner.

    Much closer to the 616 rather than the emotionally crippled "Ultimate" Banner in 1610.
    Good points and thanks.

    Cheers

    Avengers

    I know its heresy, but I havent seen this killer movie yet. A couple of questions...

    1) Just looking at pic stills, does Cap's outfit look pretty meh?

    2) Did Ruffalo do a better Dr Banner than Norton?
  24. I dont like overgeneralizing people, religions etc, but the whole Scientology deal seems strange to me. Based off that, Tom's views tend to paint him as a bit of a nutball, but not like "pissing on teenage girls" crazy. As easy as it is to write him off, hes a good actor. Im still a big fan of the small time bit he did in Tropic Thunder (even though Downey ran away with it).

    Id need more information and then would have to judge the movie by how it looks.
  25. I agree with both sides of this and actually play both sides (more vills though). There really isn't any shortage of redside action if you're on the right server. The same people that say redside is dead, if I was on that server...I would probably say bluside is dead as well compared to where I play.

    Get on the global channels, get into an active SG/coalition and let the high optempo, villainy goodness commence.

    Done.
