Stan and Lou -- More COH audio
[ QUOTE ]
I figured it out! Stan & Lou are the Abbot & Costello of Paragon City.
When do we get to see a move with them like "Stan & Lou Meet Lusca" or something like that?

What I would like is a Stan and Lou Policeband Mission.
The mission headline says retrieve the Scarab from the crate. You are then directed to a wherehouse map.
When you get close to the enemy, you just hear an NPC Say "Lou, it isn't going Woo woo woo."
Mission completes not when you open a crate, but when you defeat Stan and Lou.
What do you think?

It's no coincidence that they're named Stan and Lou.
STAN Laurel and Oliver Hardy
Bud Abbott and LOU Costello
And speaking of "Stan and Lou Meet Lucsa," you've given me an idea for the episode in Stryga Isle... er, I mean Striga. Stryga. Whatever.
P.S. I keep forgetting to do this, but I want to thank Kuros_Paladin for obtaining the background sounds in Bloody Bay. It must have taken some nerve to stand still with all your toggles off in the middle of a PVP zone to record two minutes of silence...
I've been contemplating the order of the upcoming issues, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to put #30 through #35 in the Rogue Isles:
30 - Siren's Call
31 - Cap au Diable
32 - Sharkhead Isle
33 - St. Martial
34 - Nerva Archipelago
35 - Warburg
I'm open to suggestions on what I should cover in those areas. If there is a particular villain group, contact, monster, event, or mission that is found in those zones, speak now. I'm flexible. I just want to cover as many uniquely villainous things in those 6 episodes as I can. After all, I can make fun of Vahzilok, Freaks, and Carnies hero-side.
For instance, for Cap Au Diable you might pick Goldbrickers, Luddites, Arachnos, the Black Market, or Facemaker... just to name a few things peculiar to the zone.
I vote for them doing something with the scrapyarders.
"I think I'm cute. I've got gold medals.
I've got the moves that make them all tap out.
The Angle Slam, the Ankle Lock.
Marty Jannetty...still can't walk.
I'm just the sexy Kurt.
I'll make your ankle hurt.
I'm just the sexy Kurt.
I'll make your ankle hurt."
Kurt Angle
I'd say you're going to need to do a bit with the Meat Doctors in the Freakshow. I mean, that's Vahz and Freakshow. You'll just need a crazed female voice for them.
The "Willy Wonka" aspect of the Goldbrickers could be touched upon too.

Ooh, it's a hard choice in Cap between Peter Themari and Dimitri Krylov. I think it might be tough to do something in Sharkhead and St. Martial without mentioning the Coral and the Giza, respectively.
Personally, now that I know it's coming I can't wait for Warburg. The Nukes the Web, the rogue Arachnos, and Stan vs Lou - because it's every man for himself there.

I never thought that I could be
Above threat level two or three
But suddenly, I begin to see
Its traveling pools for me!
Cause I killed a Golden Bricker!
I looked at the Golden fool and I said die!
I never thought that I could fly
Never a shot at those Tech Wings
But suddenly the skys not high
No, its not an untouchable thing
Cause I killed a Golden Bricker!
(Spoken)
Stay down, Brickey!
(Sung)
I shoved Gabriels Hammer into his eye!
I never thought Id see Bloody Bay
Id walk up to a hero and I could say
Good mourning! Youll seen be done
I never thought that I would be
Slapping the crap out of PvPs
Cause Id have said
It couldnt be done!
But it can be done!
I never thought that I could go
And buy enhancements, all Dee Ohs.
But nevertheless its to that great
Quartermaster I go!
Cause I killed a Golden Bricker!
Cause I killed a Golden Bricker!
I ripped a Golden butt today!
And with my dead Gold Bricker its a brand, new day!
ZOMG Beautiful! >.<

Sharkhead has several good characters that might be worth using. Doc Buzzsaw and Operative Vargas are both amusing characters in different ways. I could also see a lot of potential humor in having Stan and Lou deal with Diviner Maros. Maros would also be a good vehichle to provide foreshadowing or to move the overall story forward.
"Let's go to Maros, Lou."
"Forget it, Stan. It aint happening."
"What, why? C'mon, Lou, this could be our big ticket."
"He called yesterday."
"He... he did?"
"He called and fired us, Stan. We've been canned."
"But we haven't even met 'im yet. How cann'e-"
"He said he would be better of having never met us, so he isn't going to."

Very good song there, Marcian.
Anyhoos, the "Willy Wonka" thing is that Midas owns the Bricker candy company (there are posters for it all over the Islands). He has a mansion in front of his company with a maze. There is a "Sweet Tooth" badge near one of the company trucks. Brickers talk about eating candy (love chocolate, apparantly).
Not saying the inside of the Goldbrickers place is a magical land, but Midas does seem to be a bit eccentric (covered in gold might lend itself to that sort of thing).

what about wentworth's?
...I'm gonna be mad if Captain Castillo doesn't sound like someone from Queer Eye.
That's not what I have in mind for the Sky Raiders, Ein_Dose... but why do you say so?
The next few episodes are taking shape, though... for Warburg I'm leaning toward Longbow and nukes. I like Dmitri Krylov (or Boris the Russian) for Cap Au Diable, too.
I know how I'm going to handle the Sky Raiders and the Freakshow and the Family. The Vampyri will probably be on Striga Isle (and if you've been listening, I've been careful to talk about the Fifth Column but not the Council there's a reason for that).
Yeah, the Fifth Column HAS been mentioned a bit...

It might be because of some of the things he says when you fight him. It kind of paints him in a 'fancy' light.

OK... for Sharkhead, I'm thinking Stan VS. Lou VS. the Succubus of Doom!

Castillo is not 'fancy,' he is just very full of himself, and very Fabio-like. Alllllllll the girls love him. (Plus with a jetpack he can meet waterfowl easier than Fabio)

Sorry, everyone: no Stan and Lou today. I've been in a foul mood all weekend and it's very difficult to find something about COH to laugh about. If I had tried to write any comedy it would have come out bitter, and you deserve better than that.
I'll try to be in a better mood tonight (Wednesday) and see what I can do. It will probably be Family, in Independence Port.
But, but tonight is Tuesday.
Oh, wait! A Stan and Lou time-travel episode. I get it now:
<<<<<<<<<< ZAP! >>>>>>>>>>
Lou: "Don't touch the machine, Stan."
Stan: "But what is this device, Lou? And why does it 'hummm' like that?"
Lou: "That, Stan, is a prototype time-travel machine. I wrestled it away from the Rocketeers we recently fought. I know it's not a giant machine and because of that... it can only go back in time ten seconds."
Stan: "How, Lou... by pushing this button right here??"

<<<<<<<<< ZAP! >>>>>>>>>>
Don't worry, I went to bed last night thinking of what I could do for Stan and Lou that wouldn't be a bitter rant about Inventions. I tested out my Family voice for the Kunsigleer... Consigliere... whatever, and I found the proper angle for the next episode. It's the kind of thing that's only funny at 4 a.m., maybe, but if it's still good enough when I get it on paper, then so much the better.
I think I'll try to record it tonight, when I get off work.
Top notch Hertz. I have my 9 year old listening to your works as well. I think you can safely say that Stan and Lou are now part of our househeld lexicon.
Mom: Lady Rose, did you find your hate?
Rose: No.
Mom: Did you look hard?
Rose: Yeah.
Daddy Wyll: Did the hat box go "woo woo woo"?
Rose: No and it wasn't woo woo wooing before I looked in it. Is anything here going woo woo woo?
Daddy Wyll: I think I heard the fridge humming earlier when I went to get my pumpkin flu vaccine out of it.
