However, the song still sucks. Not even your magic can change that.
Well, *I* like the song, but cheers for catching another of the in-jokes.

Easy... errrrr, not quite. It gets easier with time and practice, but I keep learning new things to try, which still take longer at first.

Prometheus: ... so what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.
Me: From a certain point of view?
Prometheus: You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on your point of view.
Me: You're right about that. Power Blast is very pretty from a certain point of view. But that point of view is not head-on. <Kaboom> - Arcanaville.

The "which AVATAR is she spoofing" query seems to be a common one... but hey, if it draws people in, who am I to complain?

The TO-DO list on Matt's computer was another of my later-added in-jokes. The Dev Rap, however, was pretty much there from the get-go.

As for GW and Scirocco, I almost paired her up with Wretch, but that was just a bit... wrong.

Most excellent, Michelle! One of your better efforts to date (if not your very best)!

I did chuckle at the "TO DO" list, and I also got a laugh out of the quick sequence with Manti and Sister P.

Just when I thought you couldn't top yourself, Miss D_R, you go and make me a fibber! Good for you! (*yummirific supa-kitty huggles*)

That would've broken the symmetry of having the other couples (Psyche/Manticore; Fusionette/Faultline; and Blake/Synapse). My sister tells me that Scirocco has a *thing* for Ghost Widow, even if it's not reciprocated.

I like how Posi and Castle gave 9's to Blake, with BABs and Hero 1 giving her 10's. [If anyone was going to give a 10, though, shouldn't it have been Posi? After all, you did write a couple of scrumptous novels about him!]

Did I mention how yummirifically fantabulous this vid was?!

(*squees with delight and tries to download the vid*)

Yes, Scirocco is currently in love with Ghost Widow (or at least that's my assessment). I have a video in mind for those two, but I'm still trying to get the permission from the artist to use it. And no, I won't tell you what it is.

As far as Posi and Castle giving her 9s, while Hero 1 and BAB gave her 10s, it sort of reflects my own relationship with those four developers. Chris and Joe have both been tremendously generous with their time with me as far as explaining stuff like emotes and animations and game history and stuff like that. They don't quite drop what they're doing to help, but their assistance has been more significant when it comes to my videos and/or my stories. That's NOT to say that Matt and Floyd haven't been helpful to me - they just don't talk to me as much.

(And besides, Matt has already confirmed that he has NOT read "The Course of Superhero Romance" or its sequel.)

Still, I'm glad that so many of you guys are enjoying this video. Please do spread the word about it if you like it - I am really curious to see how far this thing can go.

I dunno. From some of the GW content, she's REALLY upset when it looks like she's somewhat...preoccupied by Recluse and pitches a fit when he mistakes her for Red Widow.

Anyhoo, abso-frickin-loutely hilarious D_R.

On a scale of one to ten I'd give it...an A+!
