Hah. I'm impressed. It took til 4:29 for one of us to finally break.

DOH!

Actually, if I remember correctly it was all written on the Beta Forums... even before they merged? So I think all the fabulous Jenkin Fic was lost to the ages...

Alas.

Fun! I wrote a few Jenkins stories back during the beta days of COV. Lemme see if I can dig em up and cut and paste em...

I was offended. I wasn't going to bring it up. I posted my critique in the appropriate area, but since you're talking about me in the third person in this open, friendly forum -- I'll go right ahead.

I was very offended.

AIDS MAN?

You called your villain, AIDS MAN?

[censored], DUDE?

Get a clue. Millions are dying from this terrible disease and your "hero" is stupid enough (or heartless enough) to taunt your villain by calling him "AIDS MAN"?

There's nothing heroic or educated about that. It's simple ignorance. I don't fault you. I'm sure you probably don't know friends who are sick, or had relatives who have died -- I'm sure you live in a cozy, green bubble where "AIDS MAN" comes off as a suitable insult, likely HILARIOUS!

But it's not funny - it's lazy. As the other commentor mentioned on your comic you could have gone in any number of creative routes. You chose the cheapest laugh, and it stinks like such.

So there. Yeah, I guess I was a little offended.

And honestly, I suggest you drop this topic, and slink back into your little corner of "New Yersey".

Greetings. Here is my submission. Rainy Fridays are good for something, eh?

Enjoy! All the submissions look fantastic.

The announcement was on the main page of the cbc. But it appears to have been updated to the correct info:

Just wanted an official word regarding the length of our submissions.

Atleast 8 pages or 4-8 pages? Thanksalot.

You're all wrong. I first heard 5x5 waaaay back in Aliens, as far as the pop-sci-fi-geek-lingo goes.

Jay: Was surprised to see no Peg Leg or Hook Hand options for the female body type. What gives?

Hah. Thank you, hero, for broadcasting my words (out of context I might add) during an insipid interview with the ridiculous Longbow Outreach, Villain Engagement (L.O.V.E.) Program during my unfortunate respite at the one and a half star Ziggurat Correctional Facility.

If you enjoyed my oh-so-charming tale of how I bested the Sporks of Artemis (Spork, Hah!) perhaps you should ask the "heroes" Crimson and Indigo to delve further into my hours and hours of L.O.V.E. interviews regarding any number of Rogue Isles subjects and affiliations, all of whom I personally defeated and mocked.

And, I do imply "heroes" Crimson and Indigo are less than the shining examples they'd care to let known-- your double agents have quite the knack for villainy in their covert personas. Perhaps Longbow should outreach to them in regards to a peculiar set of explosions which destroyed a civilian, commerical warehouse in Sharkhead Isle just this month...

==End Rogue Isle Transmission==

Awesome list!

Can you go one step further and as an example for us all type out the bind or macro I'd use to switch over to my characters "woodsy" costume (costume #3) along with the nature lover badge (badge #197)?

Costume Slot #3 - Badge #197

Thanks!

Dark Armor Overview for Issue 5
Dark Armor doesn’t have resistance to KnockDown/Back.
The two easiest ways to mitigate KD/B are Acrobatics from the Leaping Pool and Hover from the Fly Pool.

Well, that answers some questions!!!!
Excellent post SL!!

I find no complaint with various stores offering different helmets.

I find issue with the constant gender specific costume options. If my female villain wants to wear a crab spider helmet then she should be able to do so - and smoke cigars. If my male villain wants to impress Ghost Widow with his awesome Widow helmet - he should have that option as well.

Boys can wear anything they want. Girls can wear anything they want.

The more you limit your players' choice - the more you alienate that player and the less money you'll make.

Fight your way through Paragon City?

WHAT ABOUT THOSE POLICE DRONES?!?! ZAP!

I saw a mention of this as a pending vampiric powerset? Can anyone shed some light (or shadow) on this?
