Shameless self promotion time, folks!

Bonus points for spurious connections between reasons and the poster referred to!

MCM should play my arc "Of Mentors and Legacy" because I liked the idea of this thread, I was the fastest person to reply, AND because I have injured myself and need some warm fuzzies ;_;

Aliana Blue should play my arc "In Pursuit of Liberty" because:

By an extreme coincidence I also like the idea of this thread

I was the 2nd fastest person to reply

I also need some warm fuzzies

AND blue is my favorite color

ArrowRose should play my arc "Tales of Croatoa: A Rose By Any Other Name", because ... the name fits.

Hercules should play "The Consequences of War" - Part 1 because it's all about real heroism and sacrifice, and who exemplifies heroism and sacrifice more than Hercules?

Dalghryn should play End Game (17006) because it makes use of chaining objectives in order to provide the player a fun experience. Also because I had to copy and paste his name to prevent mis-spelling, and as such I had to put a lot of effort into this post.

No pie in my arc.

Calash should play "Freaks, Geeks and Men in Black" (161629) because it also makes use of chaining objectives to have the player more involved in the story.

Also, there is no pie.

Eva Destruction should play "Sky Kings' Ransom" (232308) because, just like her apparent preference, it involves absolutely no reference to pie.

Poor Skarmory...

SkarmoryThePG should play, 'Captain Dynamic, the Great, Faces The Great Face' - Tryouts (190069) because, although it probably makes no sense on any level, it is guaranteed to contain no Polish jokes.

Arc: 379017: Outbroken See all your old friends in the Outbreak Tutorial sequel!
Arc: Coming Soon: The Incarnate Shadow Shard of Fire and Ice Mender Rednem needs you!

So, how many people have actually lived up to their commitment, huh? Huh? I ran Calash's "End Game" (17006) last night. Some intriguing use of MA tech and a great villain group, folks. Bring help or a heavy hitter for the final mission, though (or maybe I shouldn't have run it on Invincible?)

Next?

I played 'Of Mentors and legacy' on my 50 en/en blaster. Some brief comments and a few fun pics:

It starts with a simulation of Freakshow tech – goes wrong however – leads into some mysterious machinations of the menders. Its a fairly long arc, and it seemed a tiny bit too long at times. The mobs used were excellent fun to fight, and the story kept me going, although it was a little confusing in places.


Demon Master...and yes, I'm wearing a tux...

V nice use of CoT with Dev Earth pets. v cool atmosphere to the future portrayed.


Cool pets.

Gripes: Prisoners on mission 3 could maybe do with an animation that makes them stand out a bit more…chained objectives in mission 3 slightly annoying.

Edge has an awesome rescue animation in the last mission

Chained objectives again a little annoying in the last mission - I loved the allies in this one though, I dawdled through it cos watching them fight was such fun.


I rescue Philip with a Nova.

One negative is that I wasn't completely sure what the Big Bads plan actually was until I read the souvenir.


3 against the demon master

Overall, a fun arc that could maybe do with a teeny bit of trimming. I rated it 4 stars.


Philip goes mental on the Big Bad.

Eco.

EDIT: It strikes me that I should elaborate on my gripes. By trimming I meant that some of the missions use longish maps which i felt were unnecessary, and in a few missions the nav says 'do 3 X' or what have you, and when you've done that, you get 'Do Y', and then ''Do Z' after that. I was thinking I was on the last objective, and then there was another one. These are fairly minor negatives, though.

Finally got myself away to do that one arc. Holy crap that's a high WTF/min quotient. Also puntastic. Some stealthed, some quite good, some both.

It's good if you like sneaky references to both CoH lore and the Captain Awesome videos, tons of puns and absurdist, very absurdist humor. It's also very meta. Which is not a bad thing.
