The Ultimate CoH Swag

Posted

We've discussed on the forums before how we all would love to see more City of Heroes items for us to purchase in real life. Tee-Shirts, buttons, posters and a great number of other things have been suggested.

I think, however, I have come up with the ultimate CoH swag... Not just something that has the logo on it... but something that SCREAMS CoH.

The City of Heroes Locator.

You attach this device via an adhesive pad or clip to your TV remote, car keys, or any other item you frequently lose. The other part of the device is mounted to the wall in a centralized location in the house. When you can't find the object in question you simply press the button on the wall mounted unit and...

... the speaker in the other part of the device begins to emit the glowie sound effect at high volume.


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 just signed on to this so hard I'll have to be court-martialed to retract my belief that this would be the best thing ever.

Well done.
I have a 50 in every AT, but Scrappers and Dominators are my favorites.

Put me down for a box of these.

edit: could it also have a small LED light that slowly blinks?

and then in order to get the object that is lost you have to right click on it with your mouse. :P I would love to have one of these even for just entertainment purposes, people would come over and they would hear that noise and ask what that was then I get to explain it's a glowie sound from CoX and they would be like WHAAAT? then I would be able to explain and show them this awesome game. hmmmm sounds like a plan


Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

When you find the misplaced item and click the glowie off, does it play the mission complete tune?

Logging on just to say how much I DEEPLY SUPPORT THIS IDEA.

Other than branding and the sound, you've described a wireless key finder. The technology exists.

Yes, but how less exciting would the post have been if he just said "a key finder that makes the glowie sound!"

That said, I might also want one.
