    We're only off by about a hundred years...

  2. Dammit, now all I can picture is the sun shaking it's fist at CERN and yelling "You break my record, now I break you, like I break your friend", right before it swallows Mercury.

The only added damage the power has at all is a little bit of extra damage for Assault Rifle's snipe power. Other than its synergy with that one power, TD is just a straight up +to-hit +perception power. Nothing else.
    Which is certainly frustrating, since better accuracy should go hand-in-hand with better damage.

    Really? That I did not know. Nice change, if not mind blowing.

    The answer to this is always yes.

    Regarding the initial post, most of my villains aren't the 'conquer the world' type, let alone 'destroy the world' type. That said, my main villain is exactly suited to the apocalyptic scenario as a high priest for an Outer God. Amassing a legion of followers to crush her opposition and bringing the Great Old Ones into this world to take the souls of all mankind is pretty much her thing. A few of my other villains are tied into helping her achieve that goal.
  6. After hearing this in Doomsday, I was hooked.

    Good Thing - Fine Young Cannibals

    Some of my characters have specific songs I associate with them, but so far this one just puts me in a good mood.
  7. Aldo Raine in the Sound of Music.

    More seriously, I'd choose the strong, silent, stupidly-tough, world-weary gunslinger reminiscent of pulp Detectives or cowboys (Will Munny in Unforgiven). Movie itself would be an adventure film, akin to Indiana Jones or Allan Quartermain, set in the mid-late 1800's.
  8. Not bad. Didn't exactly knock my socks off, but pretty good. It would be nice to get some actual closure on the 'Beckett's mom' story this season since that's been dragging on a while, but they'll probably try to drag that out for some time yet.

    On the subject of relationships, I'm interested in seeing how the new season of Bones handles the Booth-Bones relationship given that she's pregnant with his kid (apparently owing to her own real life pregnancy). The writers are pretty much forced to deal with it in some capacity, although I fear they'll just go back to the same evasion tricks they've used before to get out of trying to deal with that particular relationship.

    Awesome! Too bad I have to work as it's one of 3 or 4 shows left on tv I go out of my way to watch when they're actually on.
  10. Can't make it tomorrow. Turns out it's my anniversary, so... yeah.
  11. Tankers should be able to stack some decent -Res on harder targets as well, with Initial Strike (Bruising), Rib Cracker, and an Achilles in Shin Breaker.

    cause character creation it's at the bottom...with a magnifying glass symbol
    Saw that, I mean character select. Used to just have a great big button to do it. Now I have to have a free slot, or delete something. Lame.

    Currently Free:

    Flesheater
    Flesh Eater
    Deadnaught
    Shrednaught
    Desolate
    Damaged Goods
  13. Did they seriously get rid of the ability to check names from the character select screen, or am I just blind?

    Anyways, the following were free (/friend), not necessarily available though.

    Currently Free:

    Grim Fandango
    Santa Muerte
    Sloth
    Burn Victim
    Incredible
    Exigent Circumstance
    Razer
    Gravimetric
  14. They did talk about the zombie virus mutating to affect vampires, as in maybe it could eventually cross species, but that never really was applied in any way to the simulation as far as I could tell. Just a brief little aside from the rest of the show.
  15. See also: Fiery Aura-Burn

    Alternatively: shortly after my MA/Fire hit 50.

    Beam Rifle/what?

    Probably Beam/Time or Beam/Traps, although more likely to go with /Time as I have a better concept/name in mind for that combo.

    New Brawl Sounds

    It's kind of sad that I noticed the change right away. For what it's worth, I like the new sounds.
  18. I kinda hate you just a little bit right now. Picked up Nemean on Exalted (a name I've regretted releasing on Virtue since... I released it) and the basic barbarian stuff is perfect for the character I envisioned. Can't get a good screen shot atm, but now I'm tempted to buy it.
  19. I used some of my 1600 points to get Beam Rifle and the server transfer special (was quite pleased to find I could get those with points rather than actual over-and-above money). Next purchase will be Street Justice.

    Me? Casual, with some RP thrown in. My entire monetary worth (inf-wise) is less than some mid-range builds (best guess 7-800 million over 20+ characters), and I don't play 50's. I just enjoy playing.

    Names/Costumes/Concepts are important to me, and with some 'first choice' names for some potentially great, back-burner concepts, I look forward to splitting my time between here and Virtue.
  21. Worked for me too.

    This thread is like a infomercial full of testimonials.
  22. Just to point out, Moxie Girl will be Street Justice, so I will likely have to roll with MA for awhile. Hopefully they don't hold out on us for too long. Planning to reuse an old costume that I've actually used for a previous incarnation of the character. Still working on a secondary, backstory, and refinements to the costume, but here's the general idea.

  23. I only planned on grabbing 2 (Battleborne & Striking Beauty), but ended up filling up. I've already started playing the Horseman, finally getting a good name for a concept I've had for ages. Names I left behind: Burn Victim, Deadnaught, Cannibal, Avarice, Anna Chronos. I've never had issues finding good names, but this was a nice chance to get 'first choice' names. Wrecking Ball and Mourning Star have been at the top of my 'want' list since I started playing on Virtue, and it nice to have them.


    Previous/Recognition:

    Starflier
    Planet Smasher

    Planned to grab for my Exalted alts:

    Battleborne
    Striking Beauty

    Grabbed for the hell of it/Concepts I've wanted to play that needed good names:

    Devilfish
    Horseman
    Black Body
    Disavowed
    Galaxy Guy
    Mourning Star
    Wrecking Ball
    Nemean
