    'Assets' aren't all that's necessary. She makes a good Borg, but I'm not seeing 'super hero' when I look at that picture. 'Super spy', maybe. She's certainly good at distractions...

Sure he broke her arm, but she also survived a fall from low orbit in that fight. She clearly and regulary survives thing things that WAAYYYY over power a simple bullet. I get the feeling it's not set, it it's something about she has to be actively wanting to be invulnerable.
    Ah. So is it like they've gone from 'the bracelets deflect bullets' to 'the bracelets grant invulnerability over her whole body'?

    So they've been relegated to bling now? When did that happen?

    Though you would be amazed what good makeup can do... But on the other hand, you have a point. If you're trying to sell the concept of the show to fans, best to put your best effort forward first.

    'Course, I've never been a great fan of live action adaptions of shows. Move adaptions, great. Nnnot so much on shows. Might be the whole having to stretch out their budget across a season thing that kills them or could just be that writers will inevitably write themselves into a corner if they go too long. (Though 'too long' varies.) Just... eh.

    I'm actually really neutral on the whole thing. Odds are I won't be able to watch it for a few years anyway, regardless of how good it is. Good lord, I haven't even gotten to see the first season of that new Batman cartoon yet...

    The logical approach would be to refer to each other by their eras/movies/whatever-you-choose-to-call-it.

    One will, of course, be referred to as 'Nipples' for the entire trip.

    No, seriously, sexy costumes are great... but there's a point when you have to wonder why this warrior woman would be strutting basically asking "Shoot me in the chest, please. I don't want to live."

    Yes, but would Wonder Woman look like an anorexic preteen? I doubt it. She lives an active life style and actually eats, so by logic she'd be fairly athletic.

    Besides, when you present your character to your audience, would you want them to immediately react with "Wow, she looks like she could arm wrestle Superman!" or "Good god, get that girl something to eat!"?

    Oh yeah, I can agree with the athletic build complaint. If she's going to be smacking around villains, well, she should look like she can at least lift a microwave with ease. Or actually hold someone in a headlock. =|

    Oh god, the invisible jet. That always slips my mind. (Ironically, perhaps.) That's about as useful as rocket skates.

    Also, I assure you, I am not that much of a bondage crazy pervert. I just get that way when I'm bored. Honestly. Don't look at me like that.

    I don't remember the precise time line, but that boils down to one of two possibilities in my mind: 1. The Lasso was the ideal and the polygraph machine was a result of attempting to reach it or 2. The polygraph machine came first, with the lasso as the concept taken to its ultimate conclusion.

    Also, I don't care if WW was always the one tied up or not. That in no way diminishes my thoughts. >.>

    Dear god, I'm getting into an argument on the internet over wanting to be tied up by Wonder Woman... I... don't know how to feel about that...

    Truthfully, she can lasso me any time she wants. Heheh.

    Heh.

    I'm terrible.

  16. There exists no costume that makes up for the fact that she uses a whip. =P

    But honestly, I don't get too hung up about costume changes. I mean, heck, I wear the same clothes for years, but even I update my wardrobe every now and then. Why shouldn't Batman or Wonder Woman?

    ...Just so long as the costume doesn't include nipples.

    Barbecuing with Batman! Imagine all those utensils (tongs, meat tenderizer, spatula...) all hanging from his utility belt. Toss in an "I'm the god damn cook!" apron and you're set.

    Likewise, it's a pretty thankless job. "I fixed a major bug!" "But what about THIS bug? I want that fixed nao!" =|

    Of course, sometimes it is easier to remove a thread and sew the entire thing back up, but it's often a lot more work than necessary. If you don't mind having a bit of awkward looking stitching, though, it's better to sew the thread back in... then sew in a 'support' to make sure it stays together.

    Mind you, I haven't taken out my sewing machine in something like two years...

    Ugh, drives me nuts when people do that. Grab a needle and caaaaaaaarefully sew it back together. (Also quite a bit like code, really.)

    I've dabbled in C++ and whatever the heck the name of the RPG Maker code is. Ruby? Don't remember. Not my forte. I'm an artist and 'idea person.' (Read: I can come up with great ideas at times and I'm quite the muse, helping others come up with ideas... But damn if I can't accomplish any of those ideas. =|)

    Cross-eyed nothing. Coding requires a special kind of very analytical, very dedicated mind. I'm pretty sure most people would go a little insane trying.

    ...Though every coder I've known has been a bit atypical, socially, at the least. And a few have been downright demented. (Though they were screwed up looooooooong before getting into computers.)

    I'm rambling. Anyway. Cross-eyed. Yeah. Let's go with that.

    I have a character who might thematically fit (and obsess over) this one. Sand Guardian is... well, a guardian of the Sands of Time. Right as she was settling into the job, though, somebody stole some of it. Now she has to track down all of the sand. Each grain. One at a time.

    Considering how she uses her connection to the sand to manipulate time, you can see how she'd track down any hero or villain who has 'sand' anywhere in their biography. (Incidentally, she's a Magic Defender. Kin/Psi to represent the time control. Psi since warping time has to warp minds, and if I recall right it has a couple -Recharge powers. Though she's only level 4.)

    Right. Because popping out item packs and Issues faster than most games come up with expansion concepts isn't fast enough.

    I worked on a small-scale MMO during my college days. Now while that doesn't compare to a major MMO these days, myself and the six other gents working on it made sure to fix bugs as soon as they came about. While what I said isn't incorrect I suppose it's just how P Studios does things.
    Suffice to say 'mistakes were made', then. But you can't very well blame the current staff for not immediately fixing years old problems, given the situation. (Now, fixing new problems, that should be expected.)

    Quote:
    I'll ask another question, since what I'm saying isn't viewed as satisfactory: Were these NPC's necessary?
    I'll answer you with another question: Was Praetoria necessary? I mean, strictly speaking. Other than trying to sell an expansion pack, that is. Was it necessary to add several large, well designed areas and quite a few story arcs? Why not just a new tutorial area and leave it at that?

    No, the new NPCs weren't necessary. But from a business stand point, hey, "Look at the new shiny! Do you want it?" is a valid strategy. Money made from selling item packs can be reinvested into fixing those bugs, you know.
