Did that ever happen?

Guess you didn't see the point I was trying to make when I completely understood yours. I respect your opinion, I just don't agree with it and from my point of view it's down right false (<--my point in case you didn't catch that). I understand you don't like the show, but to a lot of people those sketches were great. Good enough that they feel bringing back the show again is worth a shot.

BTW his name is Damon Wayne. Hes a hilarious standup artist and had a rather successful sitcom. His movie career was crap (except maybe the last boyscout), but hes a funny dude.

In my opinion ILC did it extremely well and is one of the best sketch type shows of all time. You mentioned Dave Chappelle and one of his influences was ILC. He even borrowed some ideas from them. Remember the drug addict Tyrone from the Chappelle show:



In living color did it first with Anton the drunk:



A lot of people like that type of humor. It was a hit show for a reason. To each their own I guess.

See were different people because when I read "Booger booger fart butt!" I chuckled a bit.

I love the guy. Ace Ventura 1 and 2 are hilarious. Dumb and Dumber is a classic. And how can you not like Me Myself and Irene? Granted the last thing that he did that I liked was Bruce Almighty and that was years ago, but I love the guys wacky acting style.

This.

I remember waiting all week to watch The Simpsons and In Living Color on fox. In Living Color was a great show up until season 4.

And honestly, how can you not like the show that gave us Jim Carey?

I think this thread shows that a lot of us here (as well as this thread) think $6 is too much to ask for a largely useless costume power. Its a purely aesthetic option that has no benefit or even the ability to be customized.

Sure they want to make money, but I bet they would have made a lot more if it were say $6 for the set of three and not just one. That seems to be a fair price in my eyes. They are neat, just not 6 dollars worth of neat.

But hey, if they can get people to pay that price more power to them. I'm just not going to be one of those people. I got a few of the codes for free so I'm content with them.

Just because some people are crazy enough to pay 50 bucks doesnt make the 6 dollar price tag look better to me. I wouldn't pay more than 2 bucks each for these. Now if they were costume bundles I'd gladly pay $10 per set.

Its far from hyperbole. How long were they giving them out on the forums? It was a long time (months and months) because I managed to get every single costume code they had at the time. At first it was several codes a day for weeks. It was a mad dash for a list of codes posted. First to claim won. Then they had the 3 separate contests (word find, screenshot, and another...) when there were giving out 3 codes a week. During the CoH: Freedom opening event they were giving them out like there was no tomorrow. Like I said at least 30 were handed out. Then before that they were doing server testing and inviting people to come over and test the server stability. During that they gave out at least 20 or so costume codes per test. And they had around 1-2 tests per week that lasted a few weeks. They also give them out as prizes for various PvP events. I saw some go out on Ustream and various online radio shows ect ect ect. You have regular opportunities to get the codes through contests and events not to mention meeting and conventions.

I'm not against selling them in the p.market, but it is cool having something exclusive for them to give away from time to time.

It is? I remember it only coming out the back of the attack on my ice/elec blaster. But then again the last time I played that toon was i12. With that being said it really can go either way. I'd rather have pbaoe sets to be honest though... for obvious reasons.

First I have to know how this power works. Is it actually a cone? Does the attack hit a target and "explode" hitting enemies around it like a typical TAoE? Or does it kind of spit out the back of the attack like thunderstrike or golden dragonfly?

If its a cone or like thunderstrike, yes it should get pbaoe sets. If the attack works like a melee fireball then I think the taoe sets should stay.

Thats not true at all. They give those out all of the time. I know for a fact that they gave out over 30 codes at a costume contests a few weeks ago on the exalted server (I got my hands on one), and a year or so ago they gave out codes every week on these forums. They seem to use them as goodies to give out when they have events and contests.

As far as the costume parts go, I can see them unlocking holiday event costume parts since they are only available once a year. Stuff like roman armor should stay as a unlock IMO. If we want costume parts for theme ideas, then I'm for making new costume parts. Why not ad some new roman costume items and sell them for a fee rather than port a existing set over to buy? I don't know about you, but I'd rather have new costume parts.

That would be pointless for the range bonus as you already have 5 in the build shown above.

Yeah, its only 2 hats for 80 points:





I can see people with the right theme loving these though.
