I still killed his face, though.

Damn. It's like the powers are providing ellipsises of their own. They, too, are speechless!

Anyway, I'll start hammering out the HTML later today. I'm debating whether to use Part Two in the same Zero Stars Visual, or make another one for that.

New edition of Zero Stars Visual up, thanks once again to Bitt_Player. Makes me wish I had a character on Justice, I'd love to tag along with him and add my own points of view.
Review of UoG2 is late, in case some of you noticed.
Yeeeeeeah, turns out Mr. Bensen got wind of my review, and of my review plans for his next arc. We've been having...in-depth discussions.

The characters I've used for Zero Stars Visual so far are on Triumph. I've got some on Freedom, too. I take it the UoG writer isn't pleased with your review? He probably won't like mine, either.|

Anyway, got any ideas for the next ZSV?

"Max out time!!!" isn't that bad of a battlecry. That said, everything else is just...ugh. Seems more of a straw breaking the camel's back than just being that bad on it's own.
Looking over more, some of these enemies seem almost like thier quotes were pulled from some SNK endboss. I mean, "Hahahaha!!! Try harder. You have to be made of more sterner stuff than this!?!"

You know, you have a point, a lot of those lines do look like SNKglish. That makes me wonder...

I blame you all for this:
But mostly you, Term. Mostly you.

Damn you! That made me laugh so hard I spit out my bite of sandwich.
Now I have to explain what was so funny it made me spit food. Like THAT'S a conversation I wanted to have with my family.

*sigh* TerminusEst13! Cooome back! We need your reviews, as the kids these days say, "f0r t3h lulz!"
Dang, TerminusEst13 was handling the hosting for Zero Stars Visual, too. I can whack together the HTML, but I've nowhere to put it!
Edit: I just got an e-mail from TEst13, he gave me some hosting advice and a list of potential Zero Stars arcs he's found. I'll have a look at some of the arcs when I get home.

The sad part is the quality of the content he's playing just went down dramatically.
ZING!
But really, I hated Champions. Hopefully he returns soon and continues this great thread.
I think the Champions playstyle appeals more to the twitchy FPSer in him. But I shall mention his children miss their daddy.
I'm an FPSer, but you couldn't pay me to play Champions. Just the fugly graphics alone are enough to keep me away.

Guys, dudes, everyone, we all dislike Champ-O, yeah, but if we keep going like this, we'll get all off-track. I've picked an arc off TerminusEst's list that has it all: bad writing, canon muck-ups, needless drama, and a highly religious character apparently written by someone who learned everything they know about Christianity by watching The Simpsons. And that's just the first two missions, there's five total.|

I did a pretty poor job of getting screenshots in those missions, so I'm gonna start the arc over tonight.

Woo, wow, I can't believe it's been so long. My brother's visiting from Missouri, so I've been spending a lot less time on this than I planned on. Anyway, I've got part of a new Zero Stars Visual right here. The mission is called "Crawling from the Wreckage", TerminusEst13 pointed me in its direction. So far, only the Introduction and Mission One are done, I'll come tell you guys when I've added more.
Edit: Okay, all right, it's finished. Man, I don't even know what to say about this arc, guys. I'm not sure the result is as good as I thought it'd be while I was writing it, though. I'm gonna start looking for a more laugh-potential arc now.
