This sounds like a great idea, actually. It presents a range of subjects in such a way as to hook people into being interested in them. It sounds like they'll have fun with it, too.

I'll just toss in a few tips I've discovered in my own weight struggle:

First, get to Wal-Mart or someplace similar, and find a microwave popcorn popper. The one I've got works great, and dry popcorn is a great snack due to the amount you get for few calories. Drink water as you eat it, and it fills you up.

Second, hit the spice rack at the store. Grab any spice mixes that look interesting to you. You can add these to something to change the flavor a bit, to keep it from getting dull.

Third, check the calories on things before you buy them, and look for lower calorie alternatives. An example of this would be Egg Beaters. They're about 1/3 the calories of an actual egg, and work great for scrambled eggs and such. Smoked turkey sausage instead of regular sausage, and so on is the way to go. Not all lower calorie items will taste good, but don't be afraid to give something a try at least once.

Fourth, don't drink your calories. Drink water or unsweetened tea, and save the calories for things you actually get to eat. Also, many artificial sweeteners are bad for you in some way, so don't over use them.

Five: Frozen veggies are your friend. They're not very expensive if you look around, and they're easy to fix. Depending on what kind you get, you can have a pound of frozen veggies that has only 125-150 calories to it. Microwave or steam them, and season them up a bit.

Six: This is going to sound odd, but you're going to have to eat when you're not hungry. You need to get your body readjusted to eating more than once a day. I had that problem, and in the end I had to decide when I was going to eat, and then make myself eat a little something when that time came around. Then, I had to eat less at the big meal, and tried to keep in mind WHAT I was eating.

Seven: Get a calorie guide. I'd suggest the Calorie King guide, if you can find it at a bookstore. Start looking up the calorie counts on things, and adding them up.

I'm still fighting with my weight. I'm at a point where diet no longer seems to be reducing my weight, and I have to take a serious look at more exercise to get any further. I hate exercise for the sake of exercise, it feels pointless. But if I want to lose more, I'll have to deal with it. Everyone has to.

My blaster tends to hang out in Perez Park's "maze", and the few forested areas of the Hollows.

He may have to arrest the occasional CoT mage, but that's just picking up the trash.

The Blob.

I predict it's the ability to have NPCs join you as team members for any/most missions, as if they were real players.

I could have sworn that Manticore, at least, had a secret ID.

I stand corrected.

I'm pretty sure their full names are a matter of public record in Praetoria, but...

I'm going to have to admit you have a point about the villains on Prime Earth. They're usually pretty clueless, to the point of it being painful.

Have you noticed that all the Praetors in Praetoria use their full names publicly? Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most members of the Freedom Phalanx have secret IDs? I figure that it took less than a day after Praetorians started to arive on Prime before the secret was out.

What kind of fallout do you there there should/will be from their real names suddenly becoming public knowledge? Will the Hellions try to torch Synapse's trailer, or the Council go after Manticore's finances? And speaking of Manticore, won't this make it much easier to tie him to Wyvern?

I had just enough time to log in and take about 5 steps before the server went down.

My timing sucks.

Make it a 'Bots MM, and make the character a clockwork pimp.

Problem solved.

That was great!

Travel Powers
Teleport: Ninja smoke bomb versions of all of the powers, excluding Team Teleport if that's too difficult.

Hasten/Super Speed: No FX versions.

SuperJump: Can we get a version where there's ground "shatter" when we jump and/or land? And again, a No FX version.

Fly: No FX, but with any wings still flapping.

Medicine Pool
Different versions of the powers where new items are pulled out. A wand (wood with green crystal tip), and maybe a Steampunk-looking device of some kind.

Assault Rifle
Snipe: Can we get an animation that has the sniper kneeling as they take aim?

Poison
Versions of the powers that have the person tossing vials and flasks of potions/chemicals. The breath weapon one could be done by having them breathe over the top of an open flask to send the fumes out.

Kinetic Melee
Some people like the current sounds. Some prefered the old sounds. Would it be possible to make it so you can choose the sounds instead of the animation?

Ooh! That looks fun! And easy to abuse, too!

This would be better in the general suggestions forum.

However, I think the Devs are trying to get people to stop holding on to so much money, so making it easier to hold onto it would be counter productive.
