I want, nay, DEMAND Powerset Alliteration!


Afterimage

 

Posted

I'm so sick of these powers that brick and fall of the tongue in this apathetic and disparaging manner. It's oppressive and, dare I said, an ill sign for the future of City of Heroes. How can we take pride in our abilities knowing that their prose were more conceived out of some half hashed "Good enough, I'm paid hourly" carelessness that plagues game design.

What we need are powersets that flow like smooth legs across satin. We must experiences these words as the vocabularistic version of making love to the very letters on our screen. I demand Powerset Alliteration!

Observe these changes!

  • Fiery Melee: Fire Formed Fisticuffs in Flowing Form
  • Traps: Tricky Technologically-based Treachery Trashing Teams Tumultuously
  • Archery: Arrows Arced Ominously At Adversarial *****.
  • Katana: Killing Cuts Callously Crushing Carotids Cacophonously.
  • Ice Blast: Icicles Instigating Enviously Insidious Injury
  • Super Strength: Super Strength. (Good job here, Devs. I see someone got paid overtime.)
  • Dark Armor: Demonic Doldrums Draining Damage from the Damned.
  • Sonic Blast: Super Sounding Screams and Scratches Scathing Sanity Supernaturally.

... and I'm just getting started! It's such a simple fix! I don't understand why Back Alley Brawler doesn't animate some more word play into the game.

Help me out, people! Make clear our need for 5th grade poetic tropes! Let loose the livid alliteration!

It's okay. I shouldn't have, either. Did you see the kind of junk I post? There's a reason my rep is so low.

Why IS your rep so low?

I don't know. It went from 424 to... this... in between my getting off work (7:00 pm) to getting home (8:30 pm). So, I wasn't here when it happened. I got in a couple arguments today, so it might be that.

Not sure. I'd worry more if the person sent me a message. As is, they just did the forum version of toilet papering my house.

Amazingly, as it appears with an alacritous appraisal, your asinine attempt at addressing an alleged amiss is appallingly acrimonious and absolutely (amid such an abhorrent attack and attempt to acquire an array of allies and allegiances for your aberrant angle) asserts an anemic academic acquisition and an apparent, atypical appreciation for an addled aesthetic that admits an utter apathy towards astuteness... An absolute abomination.

As to your abundantly antagonistic allegations that the adored assembly of artists that were assigned to aesthetically appease our addled and arduous aliveness, alongside our angst-filled and altogether abysmal aspects of our antiquated lives... were somehow amateurish in their attempts... is astonishingly absurd!!

I, as a self-appointed abator, abidingly arbitrate your anecdotal allusions and your anemic appreciation of antiquated academia, and accordingly agree to do so without abridging nor abbreviating nor alluding, but, instead, I amorously admit I act as such adoringly... as to alleviate us all from another articulation of alliteration, I admit, unabashedly, unashamedly and alarmingly unapologetically that... you are an @$$.
