That's not funny.

It's just a damn good idea.

So, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but the Rogue Isles are on the UN crap list for developing nuclear weapons (hijacked by Blitz). That was like the big thing, and we're made to get really threatened by some loaded silos in Warburg.

Except Arachnos has a ghost that can steal your flipping soul, a predatory mutant that can tear open ships with a smile, a bug-modeled super armored soldier who is essentially immune to conventional assaults, a desert-spirit-like entity who can summon sandstorms... and Recluse himself, who has power only slightly below Statesman, who we know can survive nuclear blasts.

Interdimensional capabilities, time travel, GIANT ROBOT SPIDERS POWERED BY PSYCHICS, constant assaults against the US, seers that can predict the future.....

It just seems they need to give us something better. At this point, nuclear is easy. Where are my Singularity Bombs, HyperEbola Rockets, or Nova Missiles.... something that we know a hero can't shoot down if they have to.

It's equatable to someone threatening to fire a nuke at us in the real world; it simply isn't feasible.

Meanwhile, at the Wade Cave:

It's like they just know how to make a good character.

All this and they don't bring back the Secret Six. I gotta tell you, besides maybe the last few chapters of GL and fighting Mr. LittleBigEgo, Secret Six was the best series I've read in the last decade or so.

If you don't like King Shark I can't help you.

My dream comic: Larfleeze and King Shark.


Back on topic: at least Batman and Robin is interesting, and Batman isn't too shabby, either.

You see, Tenzhi, you aren't posting on the average boards, anymore.



Just watched this right before logging into the forums. Hilarious. THE HEALER IS DOWN

"Rikti seem to be weak to spinal shattering. Noted."

DC should just stop and go back to making JLU and Batman Beyond. Insert cashflow.

The newest page of "Grim Tales" is called "City of Heroes." Hm.

I think we've fed it enough.

Aw, poor people aren't good enough writers to work inside the CoHVerse. Booooooo.

*arbitrary jab*


Edit: I hate magic.

My Fire/Rad corruptor and Rad/Rad defender (Praetorian, Primal, respectively) both are the embodiment of Hephaestus, smithy of the gods, boosting their technological and fabrication prowess. This is reflected in the miniaturization of their suit systems and increase of raw power.

Elec/SS tank and Elec/Shield scrapper - avatars of the Elder Cyclopes, makers of Zeus' lightning bolt. Fairly obvious.

SS/EA brute - avatar of Ananke, Titan goddess of inevitability and compulsion. She is a rogue Longbow agent that knows the future and is trying to enjoy her last days via theft and wealth accumulation.

So. Was crazy for Unslotters; I had two purpled out toons that were retired. So, I take the time to unslot and sell all the purples, emailing myself 999M influence every time the limit was reached.


I go to claim one of the 999M's, and it successfully claims. Attachment influence disappeared. Smiles all around. As it turns out, I was 172 influence over the limit. The window pops up saying I was at the limit.

Problem: I deleted the email between the time it was "claimed" and the time the window popped up.

So.... did I just lose 999M?

Unslotters and Boosters out the wang.

The guy from the new tutorial. Blue Matrix?

You're always passed out and half the people keep stealing your powers.

*Ahem*


Eeeeeee!


That is all.

But Techbot! IT WON'T LET ME IN.

Faultline: I used to employ random heroes to find my girlfriend. Then I discovered Paragon Lowjack Services. My life has changed.

Sister Psyche: 13 + 1 = 14
Synapse: 9 -1 = 8

Statesman: Dead
Citadel: Dead
Numina: Dead
Positron: Dead
Manticore: Dead
B.A.B.: Dead

This will be a double-answer. The question, it seems, should be broken into two branches.

"What do you play?"

I tend to gravitate towards the realistic. So, I play the entire spectrum of villains. Some are mindless drones (Arachnos Unit 99BTF), some are in it only for the cash (Geist Dieb), still more are verifiabley' insane (Geiger Killer) and still more are in it for the sport and pomp (Stone Mistress).

My robot is given tasks and does them, mercilessly. So I play him like that. The thief is a former Longbow Spec Op that came into contact with the DESTINY Portal and realized the future is a disaster. She has morals about killing civilians, but not if they directly impede her desires. The deranged scientist is a schizophrenic madman that arbitrarily switches between a pleasant physicist to a genocidal maniac. And the earth Dom? Well, she just really likes messing things up. Sheer anarchy. If I could target allies in missions, she would always kill them.


"What do you like to play?"

Honestly? The robot. He's mindless. There are no thoughts except: "Directive- achieve." The robot isn't evil, terrible, or dreadful. He just is. A force of technology that follows orders. Period.

Marcian can't be killed.

Clockwork chest detail.

Still not seeing it. That old article is right; the first minion of the Battalion I see better do a /laugh emote the first time I hit him with an attack. These guys are the Storm, baby! They better be all about OHKO's or special mechanics.

I'm most certainly with Sam on this one. If I had to choose a side, right now, I'd go with Melord Nemilos. He has power, technology, and is actually slowing the Storm down.
