Ninja run is a novelty power, and at best a slight improvement for folks who were already using something like hurdle+cj for non-combat travel. -

My personal favorite issue from a 5 year career in the comic industry. This is the one where everything just WORKED. Cover came out exactly as planned, Sean wrote an awesome self-contained story, artwork was shot straight from the pencils (which was nice b/c previous inkers often messed things up), and the coloring was rich and striking.
We were able to continue the winning formula on several more covers, but in terms of full issues, this was a one-off thing where the stars just seemed to allign. I think issues 10-12 were pretty strong as well, but we had alternating colorists that sort of broke up the flow.
This little trip down memory lane brought to you by 3 hours of sleep! Thanks for indulging me.
Here's hoping that the little one gets better soon! -
I think these pictures are quite good. Keep it up and soon you'll be able to turn pro and do comics like this guy:

or that and doing the following with the rep permissions,
Again, I'm available for hire... just putting it out there.
I've just sent a direct message to Nivienne with these suggestions in it, hopefully they will listen
So I'm going to neg-rep you.
...it's a joke. Don't rep-tase me, bro! -

The whole rep business is an oddly-thought-out mechanism.
I had thought that the bubbles denoted the gradual effects of single agreements/disagreements accumulating over time. Therefore, since I try to be polite and helpful, over time I should accumulate a pretty good stash of positive rep. Ah, how mistaken I was!
What I did not know was that the effect of each +/- rep on your reputation is NOT merely numeric. No, your reputation is affected in proportion to how large the poster's rep is compared to yours. So there I was, sitting at a couple of green bubbles when someone called me a "*********" in successive negative rep messages (one is not supposed to be able to rep the same post twice, but there you go) and I was left scratching my head about it. I read up on it and went into action. Since it is a "game," well, game on.
So I now currently enjoy two aspects of Rep: the anonymous negative rep bounces off of my battleship armor and I can affirmatively bless good posters on the forums with a goodly boost to their own Rep. I am not interested in handing out negative rep, in revenge or otherwise.
The notion that rep received is proportional to the rep of the giver is an egregious flaw. Drive-by anonymous flames are another; that was surely going to cause a lot of grief. So while my thought would have been to allow folks to view comments only if desired, the system has not followed my sort of thinking in any other aspect, so there it is.
On the old boards they eventually took away the stars for individuals because of the silly abuse and distraction. I suspect it's only a matter of time before the new mods come to the same conclusion of "it's not worth the hassle." -
I like it. The zipper pull is a nice touch.
Edit: Wow, I *really* like Lightning Hawk. Faved! -

Well to tell you the truth, Both Diamond Boy and Ivon Boy's powers are based off of diamonds that they shoot out of their bodys in combat. Why i'm saying this is because i created them!
Is Ivon his name? It's not a term I'm familiar with. -
This perfectly illustrates my modification of the Guns'n'Roses song "Paradise City"...
Take me down to Paragon City
Where the girls are green
And the grass is deadly
Take me home
Oh won't you please take me home?

Quote:1. Video Capture program (eg. Taksi, Fraps, WeGame, Game Cam -- most of these are either open source or have free versions).Originally Posted by Mr_Squid
I'm currently thinking about making a thread where I will create Let's Plays of MA arcs. If you don't know what a Let's Play is, it's pretty much just a playthrough of a game with video or screenshots as well as commentary. Thing is, I really have zero experience with making films of any kind.
So I ask you all, Multimedia Gurus. What sort of programs would I need to capture video and sound in game, as well as my commentary, edit it, and post it to youtube?
2. Video editing program -- PCs come with the free Windows Movie Maker (WMM), Apples come with iMovie if you've purchased iLife. They're basic, but sufficient for your needs.
3. Microphone -- to record your commentary.
4. Audio program (optional) -- to record commentary into. Both WMM and iMovie have the ability to record narration, so you don't need an extra program unless you want to do fancy editing. Media Monkey is a free and fairly robust program.
Sign up to YouTube, then upload. See also Vimeo.
Here are a few very basic videos I uploaded to Vimeo during the dual wield discussion. These were made with WMM. -

Sorry Ironik...wasn't implying that you're "doing it wrong". I was making a little joke regarding ImageShack, and that I hate having to click through their site as well. You're posting the images just the way that ImageShack wants you to...you're doing it right. I've just found that the way that I post them cuts out that middle "have to click stage". I have an account there as well, and it seems to work well:
1) "View" the image that you want to post.
2) I choose the "Forum" BBS code choice under the "Embed thumbnail of this image"
3) Paste it in the message section, ready for posting.
4) Instead of Submitting it, go ahead and preview it.
5) Click on the thumbnail while in preview, and it should take you to their ImageShack page with the picture, not the actual direct link to the picture.
6) I'll go ahead and click on the picture for the direct link, and copy the direct link.
7) Paste the direct link replacing the current "URL=" in the message section, preview again, and it should now be a direct thumbnail link to the picture.
8) Submit Message.
There's other methods of getting this same result, but this seems to be the fastest / less errors for me. Hope this helps, but either way, you're doing it right...no worries.

I thought it would be nice to highlight characters belonging to other people that we find cool, inventive, funny, brilliant, etc.
Teamed with this guy on Guardian last night and thought he had a brilliant concept for an Electric/Traps Defender:
I failed to get the bio (if there was one), but I do like punny names and this is a really good one. I think she was a Dark Shield Scrapper, and was surprised that name was available on Virtue. (I think that's where it was.)
Also in the punny names department, I thought this was a good one:
Okay, now you go. -

O RLY?
It's all how you post it...not the Shack's fault. Don't be hate'n on my shack. =P
Edit: Still can't do it. Maybe it's because I have an account there, so it filters the screenshots through my account window. -
This one came out pretty well:

Those are awesome. You guys should add them to the Terrific Screenshots of Cool thread.

Bouncing Boy
Matter-Eater Lad (he was fat for a short period of time)
'Mazing Man
The Blimp (part of the Inferior Five)
Uncle Marvel (part of the "Shazam!" Marvel Family)
Hillbilly Marvel (another Marvel Family member ... and no, I'm not making these up)
Supersnipe
Big Bertha
Lt. Hercules
The Hunchback
Tubby (one of the Little Boys Blue)
The Keeper (sidekick of Kid Eternity)
The Toyman (Superman villain)
Strongman (a potgutted Pa Kent with Superboy's power)
Owlman (the Silver Age version of the Earth-Three villain)
Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee (Batman villains)
Doiby Dickles (who wore a golden age Green Lantern suit for a while)

Quote:Just give everyone a temp power. I would say "skin-tight force field." There is even a handy visual to base it on: the "force fields-as-spacesuits" of Star Trek the animated series. The crew had belts which surrounded them with a force field. It was a cheap way to do the animation, but it existed in science fiction before that.Originally Posted by ToySoldierZolgar
Would it be positively stupid to give everyone the ability to breath under water? Absolutely.

The team names not displaying hasn't been fixed - it was still bugged this evening.
Also, the stunned animation seems to have gone missing from enemy mobs - when they're stunned, they do the normal walking animation.
Taken earlier tonight:

He used a bad word in the bio.
"Collective." Totally ruins it. "Aggregated" or "associative" would've been better.

That Ascendant costume looks pretty good. Maybe he's a special ops type.
