    I would have preferred to have Brad Garrett (Everybody loves Raymond) as Herman Munster.

    Not only does he have the right look & height (6' 8½"), I think he would have played the role better than Jerry O'Connell.

    The timeframe is stunning.

If anyone can get a hold of gaming magazine writers and ask them to write about various other initiatives as well, like the Titan Network's attempts of acquiring the IP, the petition and the like.

    Unleashed has Drafts pretty often.


    One of the more recent Drafts was “Fictional Universe you would like to live in”.


    Some of the contenders were Marvel, DC, Star Trek, Star Wars, Discworld & Ender-verse.


    The universe that beat them all & won the Draft was City of Heroes.

    Mr. Newell,

    I’m hoping you can keep City of Heroes alive.

    When I come home from a stressful day at work, I unwind by playing a larger than life hero.

    This game never fails to lift my spirits & that quality is why I have been playing it for eight years.

    I’ve tried other games (Champions Online, DC Universe Online, Guild Wars, & Dungeons & Dragons Online) but never really felt satisfied by them.

    The community I’ve experienced here in City of Heroes is unlike any other.

    And now Mr. Newell that community is hoping that you will be the larger than life hero that will save this game.

    Sent.

    Ironik, I’ve enjoyed reading your reviews on Superhero fiction & I hope that you will consider recreating this thread over at Unleashed & continue to review more Superhero Novels.

    The book listed below is a Superhero police procedural I’m interested in picking up.


    The Case of the Claw - SCPD #1
    By Keith R. A. DeCandido


    Website Description:

    Quote:
    The great metropolis of Super City is the home of dozens of costumed heroes: Spectacular Man, the Terrific Trio, the Bruiser, the Superior Six, and more.

    This isn't their story...

    When the heroes are done punching out the villains, it's left to the stalwart men and women of the Super City Police Department (S.C.P.D.) to restrain them, arrest them, and hope that this time there's enough evidence to actually convict them.


    SUPER CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT

    THE CASE OF THE CLAW


    The mutated spree killer known as the Claw has returned, leaving bloody victims all over Super City. While Homicide detectives try to find out who the Claw really is, uniformed officers must deal with the Bolt's escape from the drunk tank, and the bumblings of aspiring hero Knight Dude.

    Meanwhile, the Superior Six claim they'll cooperate with the police and stop the Claw—but they're busy fighting the Brute Squad and stonewalling the cops. The SCPD must find out the Claw's deadly secret, before he claims another victim!

    This is something I would love to see for the contact list.

    I would also like to see a tab for all the TF/SF contacts that lists the Zone for the TF/SF contact & the level range for the TF/SF, & to show unlockable TF/SFs contacts (Hess, Hannon & Mortimer Kal) that you haven’t unlocked yet with a padlock, so that you will know whether or not you have already unlocked them yet on that character.

    So our heroes will have corporate sponsors just like Captain Amazing.

    Cornrow Hairdo, you have 3 choices, First choice is without the ponytail and just short cornrows. This is the second choice with the ponytail.


    Third choice is the buns (my personal fave ^_^)


    Golf Bag, moved the arrows down since. I also had to remove the strap as it will cause too many problems.


    And I ported over the welders mask since you asked ^_^ I had to delete the top strap due to clipping and it will clip with some hairdos. It is in Detail 1 since there was no other category to put it in. I also finished the belt.


    I also added another Nail hairdo only the nails go from ear to ear LOL! I'll add pics on next update. I will also add pics of the other back pieces as well as the weapon.

    It all looks awesome, excellent work Dink.

    Can we get backpacks that have weapons sticking out of them?






    And weapons whose handles look like they have been wrapped in electrical tape?




    A Leather version of the Barbarian Bracer that looks like this.




    Body Scars would be a good fit for a Post Apoc Costume Bundle.




    This neck collar with the chains hanging down & a plain version of the buzz saw staff the person behind her is holding.

    Both of those posts are from the old “All Things Art” (Noble Savage’s thread); I hope someone will transfer those pics to the current thread “All Things Character Art” (Dink’s thread).

    That was an awesome episode, a perfect end to the series.

    Eureka was one of the last good shows left on SyFy (along with Warehouse 13 & Alphas), I’m sorry to see it go.

    Who else has been watching this season?



    Here are a few pics of the cast over the years.
