/This thread does this. A lot.

Hey, thanks! With my *eternal* youthiness, I simply outlast you and everyone else ever, which winds up being quite a lonely existence at the end of it all, when you think about it. But you can't think about it, you're dead. So there, well done!
Here, PBM, I give you a Red Solo Cup. Enjoy! -
Is it wrong that I had other things to do and only saw Moneyball in the theater, and TF3 and HP:TDHp2 on DVD from Redbox? And saw none of the rest?
No? Ok, good. Thanks.
/Go Gary Oldman, btw.
//He was awesome as Zorg and shoulda won for that.

That's later. We're not done with RHPS.

Oh, so we're doin' songs now? Cool. I'll do this one:
*Fade in with red lips, probably Ms Liberty's, but DJ Zero singing.*
Hero 1 was ill
The day the earth stood still
But he got up.
And made a stand.
And ol' States was there
in that tight underwear
and Synapse was the world's
fastest man.
But something went wrong
for our poor heroes all
They got caught in a
Rikti led jam.
So at a deadly pace
'1' went through
portal space.
For this he is an
Honored man.
Rikti War Zone
Alien creatures.
Neighborhood has
cratered features.
See Vanguard fighting
B'rad and Ja'net
Heroes and villains
protect our planet!
Wo oh oh ooooh oooh oh ooooh
At the Crash Site
Rikti Creatures
In the Zone.
You know that Stefan Richter
Would be a real leader
with tar-an-tu-la-like
backpack skills.
And I really got hot
When I saw Calvin Scott's
Featured Task Force
for some reason
got killed.
Yeah Midnighters have rules
And passphrases too.
To be one you need
lots of skills.
Then a ship collides
with the ground, and it slides
Then Rikti pour out
and run through the hills.
In.
The.

*Cross fade to a flashback in Ouroborous where Manticore and Sister Psyche have just said their vows, whereupon Lord Recluse and his ilk crash the ceremony...*
/Oooooh, Shock Treatment!!!
//Just when you thought RHPS was weird... that came along. -
That's a lotta wrong there.
Lotta. Wrong. -
Yep, looks like a good pulse to me... -
They ARE useful. They fill a slot of the team. Then stand about and receive rewards. Win.
/Felt this way with my 'troller, but that's ok, sometimes you just have to stand around.
//Love the Gale trick, that's total awesomesauce right there. -
I gotta say the endurance thing is a +1, but the rest, nope, ok with it.
And I only say that about the endurance because... yeah. It's not as fast in traveling distance as superjump, nor as high, so why does it cost more....?
But in total, don't really have an issue, there's more to do than this... like the things noted below.
/yes, still harpin' on it.
//I want them. Badly. So there. -

I watched the other night as Flame took a pillbox and waited for a villain to come. She knows that curiosity killed the cat and I almost felt sorry when she opened up on the villain with her heavy, the pillbox and her powers with her sister coming out of hiding to lend a hand. I LOLd at the picture...
"...ooh, what's this? A pillbo...zOMG I'M BEING DEADENED!!!!111!eleventydefeated!"
Someone get a video of that. I would love to see this happening.
/but not feelin' like dyin' for it either... Heh. -
NOT READING any replies, yet, until I post this. On purpose. I don't wanna screw up my thoughts. So if I copied, awesome, great minds think alike! Answers shown below, in bold:
Quote:Love me some Rocky! It's just a jump to the left!Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
Sorry if this wrong place for this thread. I couldn't think of a better place for it, and I really wanted to ask.
I was at a Rocky Horror showing the other night and started thinking about which of my characters would play which roles if they had to put on the show themselves.
So that led me to wonder--what if you were the casting director in Paragon City and had to cast the City of Heroes signature characters to stage a show? Who do you cast for each role, and why? Who plays:
Brad?... Percy Winkley
Janet?... Desdemona
Frank?... Tyrant
Dr. Scott?... Positron
Rocky?... Dominatrix
Magenta?... Mother Mayhem
Riff Raff?... Neuron
Columbia?... Vanessa DeVore
The Criminologist?... Detective Freitag
Eddie?... Anti-Matter
Explains:
Percy because he just seems so... Brad.
Desdemona because she's confused.
Tyrant beacuse he fits the "my way, and I'm weird" thing.
Positron because he is a scientist, and may, possibly, be looking to collude with his counterpart.
Dominatrix... duh.
Mother Mayhem seems quite a Magenta character... willing to help, but...
Neuron is the suck up to Tyrant, but would gladly turn if he got the opportunity.
Vanessa Devore... because she looks like Columbia, and the Primal one would probably be in cahoots with Tyrant. Too bad there's not an Eddie (Schwetty!) connection there.
Detective Frietag could have easily been Fish or other... just the first Police contact in Kings is why.
Anti-Matter is due to his being cast off Tyrant's 'awesome' list, thanks to Domi and Neuron.
And it pretty much goes with 'good/bad' characters too.
/And I agree, Mother Mayhem is teh hawtness, and thatssa skimpy costume. -

For me, the females always, ALWAYS get Stillettos. Or Thigh Highs. Their feet look better that way in the game, to me, the flats and such just look... clubby? Squarish? I dunno, I've never found non-high heel/Stilletto/Thigh High shoes to be not-quite-right looking. Whatever, not elegant, for sure. I might as well like what I'm controlling, after all.
Other than that one particular quirk of my costuming sessions with the characters, I typically have an idea of what that character is going to be about, mainly due to the set I rolled. After knowing the powers, it then is an inspirational thing that 'comes to me', in that I decide on the three types, and then the costume colors are a reflection of the powers (example: the fire corruptor has burnt up, tattered clothes from an explosion in the lab), perhaps the power's colors (match or contrast), or a 'mood' I want that character to have.
The actual costume itself then comes about as I just let the parts 'scroll' about. Are they trying to hide themselves? Masks/helmets. Don't care? Hair then, maybe a hat. Are they mystic, urban, arcane, ancient, scientific, monstrous, etc, ad nausem...
And then voila. The perfect, to me, costume actually presents itself. I've never been unhappy with anything I've made.
And NONE of them, save the Dawn Sisters, look the same. Not even their faces.

So, I guess, I just look for what needs to happen, and it happens. Yeah, that's it. -
By far, Fly.
But if I could have a secondary, I'd pick Healing Aura. And I'd charge Insurance Company Emergency rates for the use. What? You need me to fly over and heal your gramps? Ok... oh, no, I don't take United Insurance of The States. But a Visa or Mastercard will be fine...
/yes, I'm a jerk about it, but I have to eat too.
//If everyone needed a heal (and they would...) -
Send him to Mars, and either one of these two:
Make him take off his helmet, thereby freezing him instantly. Just like Tim Robbins did.
Get the alien face thingy all mad and stuff, where he gets sucked into a giant martian sideways tornado vortex, and spun apart into his various limbs, torso and head, all separated.
I always thought that last was pretty gruesome way to go, but hey, he'd be gone for sure.
---
As a tangent, I just thought of something that would definitely have killed Superman:
Poison the water of Metropolis. But not with just anything... Kryptonite.
See, one of two things is going to happen:
1) He will drink the water by default, and get poisoned and die, either directly through the poisoning, or as a side effect of his not being invulnerable and getting the common cold.
2) He will be irradiated by *every person in Metropolis* by just standing about.
Now... this assumes you have Kryptonite. Or that Kryptarnite that Gus made, which will keep making him an ******* and then splitting him apart, so he keeps fighting himself, which will drive him fracking insane and he'd have to be put down with a real live Kryptonite bullet, supplied by none other than Lex, yeah?
Or something like that.
/Still likin' the tornado, though. -
Of course. It's akin to a WM/EA Brute. Strong and pretty.

Aw man, I probably missed it.
Just got home from work.
I haz a sad.
I hope everyone had fun in there, and **SOMEONE** took pics/screenies/video and posts them here.
/Gratz Flame!
//*ponders if she'll celetrain at Ms. Liberty...* -
I think Bellville, Chappel Hill, or Dobbin, Texas are great places. But only because they have awesome roads that are nearby to ride motorcycles on.
However, you can get an idea of my whereaboutish, and go with that sorta area as the bestest place to go.
Second is Austin.
Third is Kerrville, Texas.
Note that all these have awesome roads about.

I have yet to find a machine that will keep me logged into the forums if all the windows are closed, so I'm not sure that's exactly true.
/plenty of machines. 200 of them or so, if I desire... and 3 internets. 5 if I go visit two other campuses. So yeah, I pretty much can test this at will. -
Awright, we got ponies, we got Spiderman, now it's time for GIR!

Go to the beta server and street sweep in the new Dark Astoria. It works just like street sweeping in every other part of the city. You get iXP toward both Judgment and Interface incarnate slots once Alpha is opened. It's not particular fast leveling compared to a trial, but in a trial you're fighting tons and tons of level 54 bosses and EBs.
Once you've got your level shifts, level 50 mobs con gray on the street. It's like being level "53" all the time, not just inside a trial.
The Incarnate system in this case, for all intents and purposes, is the same as adding three extra levels. So it would seem unlikely that the devs would create a second parallel advancement track that gives the same kinds of rewards.
The F2P/premium offering for CoH is essentially the game that we all played prior to the market and IOs. In that game advancement stopped at 50. If players feel the need to continue advancing past 50 they can simply create a new character and try something new. That's what many veteran players have been doing all this time.
The core of the microtransaction model is that all new features pay for themselves directly either through subscriptions or purchases on the market. If the devs were to add additional advancement after 50 that wasn't incarnate, it certainly wouldn't be free.
A more likely development would be a monthly "Incarnate" license, making the game more a la carte, or allow premium players to purchase each Incarnate slot for a point cost. -

Despite their differences, one would think that Recluse would be a bit furious at Darrin for killing Statesman, if for no other reason then Recluse was saving that pleasure for himself.
But, Statesman and Recluse are truly immortal/eternally young (ok States isn't anymore), these two were fated to outlive the entire human race if it came down to that, yet in the end they'd still have each other.....imagine Earth being a desolate wasteland and only Recluse and States were left alive simply because of their immortality? Quite possibly that could be considered a fate worse then death. All their hatred and attempts to destroy each other, and what is left? A desolate planet, the human race gone.....

I will probably go "nnNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo........ "
Then go ride my motorcycle.
