Ultimate tears of sadness.

I can't believe I'm about to do this, but...

While I'm not as up on the older Batman movies and tv show, I do remember the storyline of ye olde Mr. Freeze, and while he was intended as a joke character, he was vengeful and angry in the comics, though I'm sure they handled the storylines with all the subtlety of a jackhammer in the tv show and movies (and probably missed the basics in every one). "Absurd", especially in comics, doesn't always mean stupid, or asinine (despite what the movies want us to believe). Take Joker. Until the Killing Joke, he was absurd. Up until Ledger in the movies, he was a much lighter, campier force for chaos. I'd nominate Penguin, Clock King, Riddler or even Croc for absurd before Mr. Freeze (being honest, not sure how many of these are newer vs older villains--I'm not a big Batman fan).

Amusingly enough, come reboot time for Mr. Freeze's backstory (ala Batman, The Animated Series) and suddenly Mr. Freeze is a giant joke in the last movie to have him (Batman and Robin). Which is a shame. The redone backstory started by BTAS and continued through newer story-lines would have fit in wonderfully in the new, gritter comic book movies that are popular at the moment.

Anyways. Back to the regularly scheduled conversation.

Ding. Cuppa was discontinued a while ago. Don't know if they have a new list.

/lazy, unwashed student of the masses who doesn't like to do research so can't tell you what the new list is

Tecate, s0n. If you're going to drink BIMBO*, go all the way.

*Bad, Imported Mexican Beer Ohgodsmakeitstop.

And now I'm hungry. Thanks, Siol.

Dutch apple, all the way. Mmmm, crumble topping.

But pie is always appropriate.

Fixed for a total nitpick (I know they're interchangeable).

Like the others have said, it's a mish-mash for what percentages get assigned where. It depends on what you want--are you looking for more of a debuffer/team player, or something that acts more like a blaster with debuffs? Personally, I prefer corruptors over defenders just because the damage difference is fairly noticeable to me while playing, and the difference isn't made up in the debuffs. The downside is I sincerely miss having my favorite powers sooner (Hurricane and Freezing Rain).

However, with Whirlpool, it's not as much of a drag up to Freezing Rain. And with the self heal, it smooths out the lower level pain of storm. So, I'd recommend corruptor. I'm leveling one right now (water/storm corr), and it just plays well, period.

Ok, bubba, take a deep breath. I wasn't stirring up drama, I was asking a question, with snark attached. Amusingly enough, those MMOs you posted? My friends play those. Guess what they complain about from those games? You got it.

While I realize your experience is Infinity is a low-pop server with lots of drama, unfortunately for you, there are actually a lot of people in the game, and a fair number on Infinity, so different people are going to have different experiences. I am actually not on teams a lot lately. Why? I can't sit for more then ten minutes before something comes up that I have to handle, whether for five minutes or an hour, and I'm not teaming with that situation. But when I can team, I don't have issues finding people to join up with, even if it's just one other person for a couple missions. But guess who are on a lot of teams? People on my friend's list. People inviting me to nearly full teams. People in the global chat channels I haunt. I am sorry for whatever reason you can't find them, but I swear they're out there.

To sum it up, what have I got? Experience. I would apologize, but I'm giggling. And before you accuse me of gloating or some other random what have you, I'm giggling because I never took it seriously in the first place. You accused Infinity of being low pop and high drama. I was just curious where you got the idea from. Sorry I rubbed you the wrong way, bubba, but I'm here to play a game.
