Left out the new capes that match the new patterns in the costume screenshots.

Good issue though.

I like the scrolling screenshots in the base spotlight. Is that new this week or did I miss it previously?

I loved the "On the Warpath" section, but this part made me thankful I wasn't eating or drinking anything:

The scrolling screenshots in the base designer spotlight is Mantid's way of changing things up from time to time using photobucket's slideshow creator. You can click on the images to bring up full versions.

The bases designs Brache did look great.


If it ain't broke set it on fire, then say it was a fault in the design.

That was actually a base architect spotlight, featuring several of the bases they've done. Branche is amazing and we felt like they deserved a bigger feature than just a traditional base showcase.

And yes, Mantid is amazing with finding new ways to feature pics and keep the formatting intersting week to week.

I've used it once before I think, in our last December Issue. I don't use them regularly, just throw them in here and there.

Oh hey, my screenshot was used for the Lucky Lowbie Lottery!

I feel so honored.

Shucks, I finally get mentioned. Angry, if you're happy you weren't eating anything, you're gonna hate my next article. ;P

I suggest "LiquidX's Bachelor Chow". To prepare:

1 small saucepan
1 cup of water
1 bag of Maruchan instant Ramen (Any flavor)

1: Put one cup of water into saucepan
2: Bring water to a rolling boil
3: Open package of Instant Ramen
4: Put contents of package into water
5: ???
6: Dump out contents after burning it and getting third degree burns, then pick up the phone and order a [censored] Pizza like you should have in the first place.

Congrats on the designer spotlight to Branche....

I loved the Bless You comic. Adorable.

Johnny Turbo's interview made me chuckle because that's exactly how I remember him from the good old days in The Frontline.

Can't wait to see more teasers from I12.

Bravo on yet another enjoyable issue of the Scoop.
