    He has the skills of a radioactive orb weaver.

    I wonder how much she costs and whether she is fully customizable. I wonder how she'll look in a tiny mask and purple star-spangled costume.

    Thanks for convincing Noble Savage to do this for me ... um ... for *us* ... Zwilly!

    (*huggles teh Zwilly*)

    (*squees with delight at the new kitten model*)
    Only useable by female characters, no doubt.

    The seemingly arbitrary splitting off of "Young Adult" bothers me more than the lack of division between Sci-Fi and Fantasy. It horribly delayed me finding The Looking Glass Wars series at the bookstore. Meanwhile, Watership Down (which was one of the 10 I chose, I mind) is something I would think of as Young Adult.
  5. The worst thing about Freedom is the name. Once again, I thought something was going to be about the server and it ended up being about the upcoming release.

    I did tell you.
  8. That actor *looks* like a better Peter Parker than ol' poor-man's-Frodo. And I'm glad to see the mechanical webshooters.

    Indeed, they DO have the same quality as cheap dirt.

    This is not strictly true. It is merely functionally how it ends up. Strictly speaking, you just have to have Super Strength and be level 2/4. Functionally, to create a character with Super Strength you have to choose a power from it at level 1 when the only powers available are Jab and possibly Punch. If you could wait and grab Super Strength at a level when Haymaker is available, you could skip Jab/Punch.
  11. The most difficult part for me was trying to find the last three of ten. I ended up choosing three that I liked but wouldn't necessarily have put in a top 10/100 list.

    Stan and Lou

    When you say Stan & Lou for some reason the first thing I think of is Stan Laurel and Lou Costello.

    The Pancake thing started with a funny story made funnier by modding out swearwords which were then replaced with "Pancake".

    Though I agree that the one-PANCAKE-per-letter implementation is a bit overboard.

    Indeed. More good cartoons, less Dude What Would Happen, Destroy Build Destroy, Hole In The Wall, and King of the Hill.
  15. I love that the S emblem is big. The lack of red briefs bugs me, but as I understand it that's a Jim Lee redesign that is currently or will soon be appearing in the comics.

    I don't care for the continued trend of over-texturing superhero costumes, but I can overlook that.
  16. That's pretty disappointing. The 'she's really only appearing as Selina Kyle' cop-out is just that - a cop-out. Especially if she engages in any sort of burgling.

    So the color is wrong and most of the elements are missing. Basically, what you are saying, is that every female superhero in a skintight costume and mask looks like Julie Newmar's Catwoman...
  17. I'd be upset if I had to pay for air... for a couple of minutes, at least.

    It doesn't seem to me like they're taking away my City Traveller reward. It allowed me to pick a travel power 8 levels sooner than I could before. And when I21 hits I'll be able to pick one up 2 levels sooner than that.

    Of course, I'd also say that what it allowed me, personally, to do was far more important than whether or not other people could do it as well.

    Isn't Morales the name of one of the artists that works or has worked on Spider-man?

    There's the anime Eureka Seven...

    Community. The CoH Community is outstanding. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and warm are a few of the words I regularly use when describing our Community to people who are new to the game. Rarely can you point to the Community of an MMO as a selling point, however in the case of CoH, it really is.

    Sometimes, when I'm on my personal account, I forget that the folks I chat with on a daily basis here on the forums don't know who I am in global channels. The people you play with in CoH put you that much at ease .
    I would echo this with the added disclaimer "relatively speaking".

  23. I generally focus on single targets with my Energy blaster on teams. I love it when I get blamed for all of the AoE KB despite the fact I'm only using single target attacks.

    Alyson's been hijacked by everybody's fav pyscho-b**ch. And if next week's preview is correct, Alyson get put back in charge of GD. With you know who in control right now, all hell could (and most likely will) break loose.
    Yes, I did. Hence, why I said DESPITE that she almost certainly is a security risk, I think that it might be a red herring.

    Looked like a cloth attempt at recreating Captain America's scale armor. I applaud the effort, but it did end up looking a bit feathery.
