I am still surprised I snagged "Not a Nemesis Plot" months ago.

I'd be rather upset for a while. I'd try DCUO (on the PS3, because I know this comp won't run anything newer than CoH), but probably not stick with it.

In the end I'd probably just play more console games.

If I could, I'd add an old and forgotten Marvel series I fell in love with recently.

Devil Dinosaur

"There are those who fight consistently for the side of right, and they are heroes. And then there are those like us, who know how to turn the powers of the world to our advantage without care for the cost to others, and we are called villains. Personally, I would rather be the latter any day." - Mr. Bocor

"1 4m 1nv1nz1bl3! 1 4m t3h S00p4rFr34k!" - the SuperFreak

I can't remember the exact line, but I recall a Freak talking about buying a sportscar and welding it to himself.

Not dialogue, but part of a clue description: It's labeled "TP Jammer." What's it supposed to jam? Toilet Paper? Cruel, but hardly effective.

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas and Hippy Frollyjons to all.

I'm currently reading the Space Wolf series by William King. They're based on Warhammer 40K. A good read and they are written well enough that even people who know nothing about 40K can read and enjoy them.

I recently finished the War of the Dwarve by Markus Heitz. I liked it but it wasn't as good as the previous book, the Dwarves.

Marvel said to watch the VGAs for an anouncement. Capcom set up a viewing party for the VGAs after a Marvel vs Capcom 3 event. I watched, waiting for some more MvC3 news.

Instead I got Thor, mostly predictable awards, and people failing miserably at being funny. The only interesting bits were Batman and Skyrim.

BTW, there was also a trailer for SSX: Deadly Descents.

I definitely agree on a "100 defeats" badge for each villian group, including ones that already have badges for specific enemies like Rikti, Hellions, and Freakshow.

Some name ideas:
Hellions - Extinguisher
Freakshow - 1337
Circle of Thorns - Thorn in the Side
Shadow Shard Reflections - Mirror Mirror
Carnies - Ringmaster / Ringmistress
Family - Refused the Offer (Hero) / Couldn't Refuse (Villain)
Hydra - Up On the Hydra's Back
Knives of Artemis - Knife to the Heart
Legacy Chain - Weak Link
Nemesis - The Plot Thickens (Hero) / Nemesis Plot (Villain)
Tsoo - Boy Named Tsoo / Girl Named Tsoo
Void Hunters - Null and Void or Void Where Prohibited
--------

Now that there are Exploration badges for visiting multiple locations, I think more of these should be added. Like:

Gyroic - Visit one "City of Gyros" store
Super Gyro - Visit five "City of Gyros" stores
A Hero's Gyro - Visit all the "City of Gyros" stores
Railroaded - Visit all stops on the Paragon City Monorail
Get to the Choppa - Visit all stops on the Black Helecopter line

I suggest Ranma 1/2. It's the story of a boy who turns into a girl, a father who turns into a panda, and the weird chinese curse that did it to them.

The story: A martial artist named Genma takes his son, Ranma, on a training journey to Jusenkyo, the training ground of the cursed springs. Unbenownst to them the curse of the spring are quite real, and any one who falls into a spring there takes the form of whatever drowned in that spring. Ranma falls into the spring of drowned girl, while Genma takes a dip in the spring of drowned panda. Fortunately the change is reversed by hot water, but cold water changes them again. This complicates things slightly as Ranma is set to be engaged to one of the daughters of Genma's friend. And of course, those can't be the only 2 people who've taken the Jusenkyo plunge. Other characters have fallen into the springs of drowned cat, pig, duck (I'm still trying to figure out how a duck drowns), and yeti riding bull while carrying eel and crane (don't ask).

Nose? That don't rhyme with walls.

I'm probably going to buy this just so I can put the Steam Jets aura on my Nemesis robot/automaton character.

The first thing I want to say is a bit off track, but bears repeating because it involves the thing I want most. Please make robotic arms compatible with jackets, robes, and trench coats!

On to the NPC parts.

FREAKSHOW:
The robotic arms (pic)

Just about anything off a Tank. (pic)

Meat Doctor backpack (pic)

Stunner shoulder pieces (pic)

NEMESIS:
Any of the helmets the soldiers wear (pic)

Fake Nemesis parts (pic). Specifically the backpack, arms, lower legs, belt, and hair.

Gattling gun (pic). Heck any Nemesis gun that's not locked behind a badge that's annoying and/or impossible to get with low level characters would be appreciated.

IMPERIAL DEFENSE FORCE:
The sleeker updated preatorian Clockwork pieces (pic). Especially the face. I 'd also like the ability to use guns like that for pistols and/or assault rifle.

I've had a few "That's an awesome name. I have to make a character now" moments. Some of them are:

Just for the Halibut - Claws/WP Brute. Inspired by a very old and very bad pun.
Break Stuff - Arachnos Huntsman. Inspired by a Limp Bizkit song.
Wolfbriar - Plant/Thorn Dom. Inspired by a Magic: the Gathering card
Robotic Pirate Ghost - Elec/Dark Corr. Inspired by an in-joke between friends.

Some of them have been deleted too like
Lady in Wight - DB/Dark Stalker. Inspired by a Yu-Gi-Oh card

Tabuu in Super Smash Bros Brawl. He owns the entire cast, then Sonic runs in a somehow weakens him enough in 2 seconds so the rest of the cast can fight him. Very lame.

And Blaine's Rhydon in Pokemon. It gets beaten by something that shouldn't be able to hurt it at all because it aimed for the horn.

Wonder Twin powers activate!
Form of: a puppy!
Shape of: a damp sponge!

Yeah. I'd pass on those.

I also would hate to be the Hulk. I can have a short temper and would hate to level several buildings just because I lost at a video game.

Also, the talk of Ma-Ti earlier makes me want to link to this comic

I recall someone saying they had an Elec Brute with a different color for every power named "Taze the Rainbow"

Favorite badge titles vary by character.

Soul Taker for Shadowninja
Assassin for Yellow Chaos
Predator or Weapon of Mass Destruction for Break Stuff

The "Automatic Villainy" arc from Technician Naylor. Now that we have Doppleganger tech, this arc should be redone so Nemesis actually does have an automaton of you and you have to fight it. You could also change the Fake Grant Naylor to actually look like Naylor as opposed to looking like a generic Nemesis boss.

Da Krusha (NRG/NRG Brute) will go Rogue. Basically he woke up in science lab with a monstrous appearance and super powers but has no idea what happened to him or even who he is. He uses his new found powers to escape, but is taken down and arrested in the process. Arachnos breaks him out and tells him that they'll help him get his memory back if he becomes a villain and causes some chaos for the heroes to deal with. Thinking he has no other alternative, he does it.

He will soon realize that Arachnos has no intentions of upholding their end of the deal. He will then start down the path of the hero and find friends on contacts in Paragon that really will help him figure out who he is and how to go back to the way he was before.

Song Titles:
Break Stuff - Limp Bizkit

Cure For The Itch - Linkin Park
A Place For My Head - Linkin Park

Dancing Mad - Black Mages
The Man with the Machine Gun - Black Mages
KURAYAMINOKUMO - Black Mages
Maybe I'm a Lion - Black Mages
Vamo'alla Flamenco - Black Mages
Darkness and Starlight - Black Mages

I Think I'm a Clone Now - Weird Al
It's All About the Pentiums - Weird Al
Everything You Know is Wrong - Weird Al

Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - They Might Be Giants

I'm also a fan of long video game titles like "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2: Grimoire of the Rift"

My favorite song title is from a song I've never listened to. It's "Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song so We Wouldn't Get Sued" by Fall Out Boy.

Eviserate and Elude (and other powers that share the animation) could use something less flashy. For Eviserate, maybe a series of quick strikes for the Brute and Scrapper versions and a slow, gutting blow for Stalkers. Can't think of anything for Elude at the moment.

And any Assassin's Strike powers that share animations with each other could use unique animations IMO.

I used to play Blood Bowl. I had several different teams (it was just me and my brother, so we had 4 teams each for variety). I had

1) Dwarfs. Team was the Axbearers. Highest ranking team in our "league."

2) Halflings. Named the Jumbo Shrimps. A lot of fun to play even though they usually got pounded. Ever see three Halflings kill an Ogre? I have.

3) Norse. Named Thor's Thunder.

4) Nurgle's Rotters. Named Quarentine.

A few emote ideas:

/em playgame - The character pulls out a handheld gaming device and begins playing. Some old 8-bit sound effects accompany the emote.

/em playgamemute - Same as playgame, but with no noise.

/em watchtv - Charcter places a small tv on the ground, then sits down and begins watching it. A small looping video on the tv is nice, but not necessary.

/em watchcomedy - Same as watchtv. but the character laughs about what he/she is seeing.

/em watchdrama - same as watchtv, but the character cries and wipes his/her eyes with tissues while watching.

During Dark Watcher's last mission:

Lord of War Hro'Dtohz - "$heroname: something you should know; I am: your male parental unit!


There NEEDS to be a Rikti Mission with the following lines in it:

Rikti 1 - For trouble: Prepare!
Rikti 2 - Double: Make it!
Rikti 1 - To denounce evils: Truth and love!
Rikti 2 - To extend reach: Stars above!
Rikti 1 - Jes'Se!
Rikti 2 - Ja'Mes!
Rikti 1 - Team Rikti: Blast off; Speed: 299,792,458 meters per second!
Rikti 2 - Surrender: Now; Or for fight: Prepare!
Rikti Monkey - Right: That is!

Rikti 1 (upon defeat) - Looks like: Team Rikti...
Rikti 2 (upon defeat) - Blasting off: again...
