Demobot

I nominate Mod08. His past accomplishments as well as his more lasting ones (the Official Champion Quote Pyramid Thread and the Official Champion Drama Thread) make him more than qualified to be our merciless tyrannical overlo- I mean duly and democratically elected executive.

EDIT: Seems I need 4 other nominees.

Amygdala
Cherry
Celestial Lord
Kahlan

Looks kickass.

I vote Option 1.

I'm not opposed to an inactive account namewipe, but I think the current system is fine.

I have:

Freem

Rouge Angle of Satin

The only issue I'm gonna have with it is deciding what powers to put in their place; just about every build I have just gained 3 new powers, but I won't have any slots to spare for them. So I'm thinking Concealment for three LoTG spots, or SJ/SS (thank you, City Traveller).

But now the crochety old-timer in the back of my head is doing a spit-take with his daily Metamucil, vividly flashing back to a time when the game was rigid, inflexible, capricious, unyielding and occasionally cruel. A part of him is still there, fighting through buggy task-forces, wearing the exact same costume he put on his first day in Outbreak. This tether to a bleak past occasionally obscures the gleaming wonders around him, things he long believed to be impossible; Ouroboros, power customization, Ultra Mode, switching sides. And even now they whisper of incarnates, a power that, even in the Age of Inventions, sounds impossible. And as the old-timer reflects on these things he looks outside his window and watches the kids playing with akimbo pistols.

They'll never know how good they have it, he thinks. He turns his head to look at a wall nearly covered with picture frames of all shapes and sizes, all containing faded screenshots, forum posts and articles from the official site, in roughly chronological order from left to right. 18 Issues, 6 years and change, what feels like a lifetime. He thinks back to the kids outside. But do they have it too good? A part of him wants them to go back to those dark days and fight the battles he fought for 6 years for what they now enjoy. A selfish thought, he concedes. He realizes that what they now enjoy is something more than the work of a development team, but a community collaboration. He realizes too that the things that made the game hard were rarely the things that made it good. They were hurdles, obstacles, and there was a sense of achievement in leaping over them in the early days, but now his knees are weak and his feet are tired.

He gets up from the table and walks to his front door. He opens it and steps out onto the sidewalk of a busy downtown street. He has one last flashback, a day he would never forget, and three simple words.

I can fly.

And he still can.

X-Men 3 (the last 5 seconds or so)

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Jaws ("Smile, you sonova-")

The Prestige ("You. Want. To be. Fooled." It sends shivers up my spine EVERY time)

I use my laptop's built-in keyboard (which is fairly sizable; having a numpad is pretty nice), but in terms of rodentia I employ the Logitech MX 518. It's simple, elegant, and looks pretty sweet. But, some day...

I'd like to thank my high-school AP Lit teacher for making me study Oedipus Rex, otherwise I wouldn't have understood #2 at all.

It's happened to me several times. The only fix I know is to relist, relist, relist until it takes. Not ideal.

That's crazy. It's like something kids on the playground would make up. Plus 'balaur' is a badass name for a dinosaur.

The Villain version of the STF badge gets my nod.

"Saved the World... For Later"

Outstanding.

For the record, @H4NK did the Portal Jockey costume. I lol'd.

Welcome back!

I've done one on Champion. Lots of fun. There's an element of skill, but it mostly comes down to good builds and common sense.

Working as intended. All of the '120 procs', as of I18, activate and deactivate with the toggle they're slotted in (if they're slotted in a toggle, that is).

It's also been less than two weeks after the most tumultuous changes in the history of the market. A brand new 1-20 experience was added which makes it more likely that people will be rolling new characters instead of playing their 50s.

I'm down, blueside. You know where to find me.

EDIT: As of 9-16 I don't have the badges.

6 years of playing an Energy Blast/Energy Manipulation Blaster.

0 kicks.

0 complaints.

Maybe I've been lucky enough to play with good people, or maybe I wizened up to KBs consequences early on. Dunno really.

Could be that I've never used Explosive Blast. Radial KB is blech.

Welcome back Shotty!
