lmao! Can't remember which one, but I was listening to some video game podcast a few weeks back, and they read off a list of similarly ridiculous names for male video game characters. Probably one of the IGN podcasts, but I can't say for sure.

Internet bacon's imaginary?? Hmmm, then what have I been living on for the past 6 months? O_O


I don't wanna save my soul now,
I just wanna lose control,
And even if it takes a lifetime, to learn:
I'll learn!

I love the fact that we now have a nocturnal dev to leave us redname posts for the morning.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I enjoin you to go find the MST3K episode where they watch "Space Mutiny." That was the source for my "Awesome McCoolnames."

Many of you already know our artist extraordinaire, David Nakayama, and some of you have even met him in person at one or more of the conventions we have attended over the last couple of years. As a matter of fact, several players have amazing color drawings of their CoH characters thanks to David’s sketching talent.

After so much hard work and dedication, it was only a matter of time until David's accomplishments were recognized within Paragon Studios, and therefore, we are happy to announce that the studio management and Ken Morse have promoted him to the Art Lead position! We are all truly excited to see David use his new position to help push City of Heroes forward from an artistic standpoint.

Like other recently promoted members of the development team, you can expect to see David Nakayama participate in the “Ask A Dev” Program and other community related initiatives moving forward. He will also be with us at PAX East, representing the Art Department on our panel session entitled “Re-Inventing a Super-Heroic MMO.”

We just wanted to take this opportunity to pass along the good news and publicly acknowledge David Nakayama on a job well done. Congratulations, David, on your well deserved promotion to City of Heroes Art Lead!

That IS awesome! Congratulations David!

I'm a night owl, and it's always nice to end the day on the COH forums.

But we can't see Maelstrom taking a shower? How about changing his armor then? Or working out? I really don't think you're playing fair here

G_G's contribution's making me feel generous, and I'm compelled to agree: It's only fair.

I notice that the water in the tub has no reflections. When are we going to see this redone in Ultra mode?!?

lol. You win this round, Golden Girl. Wish we were still publishing a COH comic so we could give all the ladies out there some equal opportunity eye candy.

But before I throw in the towel completely, you might to check the last couple pages of Issue 8, where Back Alley Brawler suits up in his new uniform, or the first half of Issue 9, where he opens up a big can of butt-kickery on some goons. You have to admit that there's a certain beefcake factor to the proceedings.
