You know what else is Ill-conceived? The font choice for the topics on the forums. I read this a 3-conceived first, which didn't make much sense.

Mine is an FF/Energy and she's pretty good. I'll admit that Energy is a bit redundant, though, with FF's built in knockback powers. Personally, if I had to do it all over again, I'd roll an FF/Ice for the Holds and pretty much similar single target damage with better AoE.

Also in that build, you're getting Maneuvers FAR too late, and you're just using it as a set mule. On most other builds, this is okay, but for a forcefielder, you want Maneuvers as soon as you've got the End to run it, not later than 30 at least, and you want to slot it for Defense. Why do that? Because it''s the difference between letting 10% of enemy attacks through and 5%. Maneuvers doubles the power of your defense buffs. It's unique to FF Defenders to do that, but a well built pre-alpha FF Defender should at minimum be able to hit 44% defense buff on an ally. That's the small bubbles, Dispersion Bubble and Maneuvers, all slotted equivalent to 3 level 30-35 Defense Buff IOs.

Recoome is perfect as a pro-wrestler. It's awesome how those ridiculous stances the Ginyus do are all perfectly justified in the abridged series. They're showboating for the TV viewers. Of course they are.

I didn't have that much available double XP time, so I set a modest goal: My level 46 Scrapper had to hit 50 by local midnight tonight. Which is 20 minutes ago.

Result? After two Mothership raids, and one of the most fun ITF's I've run with a nearly all-melee team, she hit 50 in the last mission. Romulus is exceptionally good XP on double XP weekend. 215k per kill.

Then I took a fresh off the portal from Praetoria Controller and got her to 21 during a Rikti Invasion. Not much, but it's a nice bonus.

Wait, if we're going to the actual Well of the Furies, shouldn't this give Incarnate rewards this year? I'd kind of be disappointed if this isn't worth a shard, at least.

So that's Cry for Justice? Wow, it's like they took all the boring parts and drew them while the parts that'd normally be in a superhero comic happened off-panel.

Also, I must not have watched AT4W enough... why was Pyramid Head in a Pokéball?

Now there's a question you don't get ask very often...

JUSTICE!

What a delightfully stupid concept. It just might work, or in any case be an entertaining movie.

Hold on a second...

Just when I thought thunderstorms couldn't become more awesome, we find out that they're spewing anti-matter. Nice.

And no, I'm not sarcastic, I really mean thank you.

A while ago I made a thread about what to do with a pile of Merits. I got a lot of nice feedback and started reading some of the marketeering guides, and long story short: It finally clicked. Got half a billion on one character to see if I could. Wasn't too hard, really. Still have that, actually. Anyway, I19 hit and I started playing my old FF Defender again. She was running SOs, and it was tme to upgrade. I then had a weird idea: Could I IO her out, yet make a profit off doing so?

Short answer: Yes.

It took pretty much all of December and some criminally low bids, but I got my Defender (almost) fully decked out in sets, with a 200 million profit. No purples, and a few generics here and there, but Rose is pretty awesome now. Got one outstanding bid on an HO still to go.

How do you do this? Well... you need to understand flipping and crafting, and think a little out of the box. I need two times 5 Miracle for Aid Other and Self. That's still expensive on a limited budget, but... if I bought FIVE sets, I could craft and sell three and get the two of mine virtually for free. So I did. And I did that for a lot of the set IOs I bought. Because if I really wanted it, but was patient enough to craft it myself, someone else might also want it, but be less patient. This worked out far better than it should, really.

So before sets, it was 70-ish million and all SOs. After sets it's 320 million and pretty much all the set IOs I could want. Had I just been in it for the Inf, I'd likely be a billionaire in the game now.

So once more: Thanks Marketeers! You helped me out and got Rose some IOs I frankly had written off as "not for me" in advance.

Now I could probably start aiming for the cap, just to post a monocle and top hat picture.

I've been following this on the news, and it's awe inspiring. Terrible, but awe inspiring.

I hope the people affected by it make it through okay. Stay safe down there. And good luck to you Super, I hope you won't need the luck, but in case you do: Good luck.

So the Human Torch will die to make room for H.E.R.B.I.E.? So kids won't light themselves on fire trying to copy him.

Presumably Cole had a mother, right? A good 70-80 years has passed since he got superpowers, so she's likely dead. She'd likely be Mrs. Cole, and that could be who the hospital was named for.

Ouch. That was an incredibly horrible visual pun they had in that trailer. Santa Claws.

Awesome trailer.

Wait, so the Tree of Might movie is about an actual evil tree from space, and Goku has a doppelganger? I'm impressed that TFS didn't just go for the obvious parody of that, because that's weird enough on its own.

Useless page. Not available outside the US. Some day publishes will realize that the internet is global and region blocks only say "We have something you might want, AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!" to those interested in the shows. I suppose they think people won't try to find alternate ways to see the show... Have they not heard of Google?
