Obscure things you DO NOT want to know about playing the game...

Seriously... you don't want to know these things... turn back now... just click the back arrow... you're just plain ol' better off not knowing...

Fine... be that way...

* The Hellions Girlfriends were modeled after your sister. Don't let that get you down though; the Carnival of Shadows Illusionists were modeled after your mom.

* That short-of-breath style of breathing when you are in a pitched battle? From the next room over it sounds JUST LIKE you're watching pron.

* BAB used to stand for Back Alley Broiler... that is until the declining stray cat population made the local news.

* The Development Staff got ahold of your baby pictures. After they were done laughing they came up with the Baby New Year character model. Coincidence?

* The original story behind the Hollows was a neighborhood dog who just flat-out wouldn't stop digging up people's gardens. It got scrapped; the only thing remaining from it was the Digger badge.

* After everyone talked him up in the Forums Blue Steel started having inadequacy issues since he couldn't live up to the hype. These days every time a Shield Scrapper or Tank levels up in Kings Row, Blue Steel kicks a puppy on his way home.

* There is actually no lag in the game at all. The developers just got too lazy to animate massive battles so they simply send through still frame photos.

* The team had a Pot Luck Office Party to which one person brought a lime jello mold with sliced lemons in it. No one took so much as one bite and the jello lingered in the staff room fridge for weeks. Hamidon raids became popular soon after. The jello mold is living comfortably in Oakland on the royalties for use of his image.

* If you go from level 10 to level 18 without visiting a trainer then go to Valkyrie in Steel Canyon, level to 15 normally then exit the training screen to begin the Judge emote with the sign reading "2" then level to 16 and select the power "Hover" from the Flight set then once again leave the training screen and activate Hover, assume lotus position and go to a height of approximately 100 ft above the street then type in the command "/NewbachooIChooseYou!" a random character in Outbreak will suddenly find themselves teleported to the most distant point of the Shadow Shard, regardless of their initial AT they are now a Broadsword/Invulnerability Scrapper armed with a Pool Noodle.

* If you attempt the above secret code and are unable to locate the poor newb you sent to the Shard, please let me know. I will meet you at a pre-arranged location and give you the Newb Locator Mk 4 1/2. Activation of said Locator requires you to have six slotted Gullibility and sacrifice of all your influence and loot to another player. I can help you with the 2nd part, you're on your own with the first.

* If you can activate SuperSpeed and not hear either the Benny Hill or the original Hamsterdance music in your head then you aren't playing the game right. If you hear it NOW but never have before then you're welcome.

* If Marvel won't let us make Wolverine characters why isn't Colonel Sanders suing over all the chickens running around Paragon?

* Those kids you're ignoring so you can farm for that one last Purple Recipe you need to make your character perfect will be choosing your retirement home one day.

* Oh, and while we're on the subject, when you lured your 10 year old son into the PVP zone so you could "Teach him another aspect of the game".... You weren't fooling anyone. Not. One. Person.

* Skulls don't clean the skulls of their victims off before using them as masks. How else do you think they stay on without string?

* The Galaxy Girl statue isn't wearing any panties.

* If you see anyone standing under the Galaxy Girl statue for no apparent reason.... report them.

* The irony is that in life Atlas suffered from really atrocious gas.

* Hero Corps had a short-lived stint in Rogue Isles as a heroic force. They didn't take them seriously there either.

* Henry Peter Wong is at least 2/3rds d**k.

* Crimson has every Indigo Girls album.

* Swan has a restraining order on DJ Zero after once asking him what the D in his Pocket stood for...


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

I will destroy you.



EDIT: Tom Cruise eloquently elaborates on my position. Warning: Bad words are said.

Yep I do this. Unfortunately I hate being ground bound so all of my characters have Super Jump . I still do it with Ninja Run though

This one cracked me up because it's true. Nice work.

And here I thought it was just an homage to the old Captain America and Thor cartoons that functioned much the same way.

Steelclaw, I think I love you. Don't tell my girlfriend, okay? She wouldn't understand.

Didn't he also have a brother named Richard?


NCSoft will be getting no more of my money and my GW2 purchase was halted the day of the announcement. I'm a loyal and very profitable customer. I hope to return to giving them all of my money, should CoH survive.

Actually, that sounds more like 1/3. Now, if his last name was Wang instead of Wong, then he would be at 2/3. And if his last name was Wang and first name Willie, then he would be at 100%.

-Faultline and Baphomet have never been seen in the same place at the same time. Not because they are the same person, but because Fusionette would KILL him if she ever found out about them.

I'd actually create a character with that name, but he'd probably get genericized so quick he wouldn't make it out of the Tutorial.

First let me say that I found this entire post hilarious.

This particular one got me to thinking of all the random music I've listened to while playing this game... mostly metal however, one day I youtubed "I need a hero" by Bonnie Tyler.

Do this and one of a few things will happen.

1. You will not stop laughing, primarily due to the cheesy 80's electronic drums sounds.

2. You will actually get into it, just don't tell anyone... and don't let your girlfriend see you. You'd think she caught me watching porn...

3. You will be inspired to make a gameplay video using it as your background music.

This is the only one on the list that's actually true.

Er...uh...this one also.

Does that mean I'm odd in that I have the Hamster Dance in my music play list when I'm playing CoH?


There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
