Also I'm still on that SF, and I have a question about it, too.
Why does Infernal compliment our skill when it's just eight of us pounding on his crotch until he falls down? Last time I checked, that was how we settled disputes in high school. Now granted I was captain of the crotch-punching team, but it doesn't actually require that much skill. Try it.
One more thing, this time about the Rikti.
Is the Rikti written language all weird runes and crap, or do they write similar to how they speak, with like a billion colons everywhere? If the former, why? They had a perfectly good language to begin with (possibly many). They probably changed it just so they could seem more like authentic aliens.
If the latter, I bet Rikti books are annoying to read.
"Present: Zenith: Rikti Civilization. Simultaneously: Nadir."
Go ahead and guess what book that is.
tale of two cities?
"it was the best of times, it was the worst of times"
I approve of this thread.

Unfortunately the both of you are incorrect, the book is actually "Narration: Metropolis Duplexity" by the famed Rikti author Ch'ard'ken.
However for that fascinating exposition on language, I will award srmalloy a prize.
...Eventually.
I'm not sure it's physically possible to /sign any harder than I am right now
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Aww, you guys <3
Oh hey, now that I'm on another TF I had another thought, 'cause I like to sit back and daydream when people are depending on me to keep them alive.
How come a power like "Vengeance" works in a city where heroes don't die unless it gives emotional impact to a plot? I mean, no matter how many exploding warhulks you rub your face on, no matter how many times you're digested by Hamidon, poof. There you are again. You don't even sustain damage to your costume.
"OH GOD CARL NOOOO"
"WE WILL AVENGE YOU"
"Hey guys, I'm back."
"Oh hey Carl."
"INCOMING AMBUSH"
"OH GOD CARL NOOOO"
And for that matter, f*ckin' Vengeance, HOW does it work? I've never been so angry that I've shrugged off something that would otherwise render me unconscious/dead. And I've tried, too. Some friends and I did a little experiment. I started thinking about fighting Carnies and then jumped into traffic. The next week my friends met me at the hospital and let me know it didn't work, and I was like "what didn't work? where am I?" and then they explained what we did and why I was in traction and the rest is history.
Anyway my point is
OH ONE MORE THING
Okay, so I'm on a TF like I said (I'm the healer) and I realized how much I hate seeing "blank the first blank" because I know it's gonna be followed by seven more blanks to blank, and each one is just gonna be a single mission filled with infuriating enemies.
And another thing about TFs, you ever notice how something major always seems to happen when a signature character is involved with something? Just once I'd like to see a TF where you find a clue to a major operation, and when you get to the warehouse where it's supposed to be taking place all you find is two Tesla Knights fighting over a rusted dolly. Then you go back to your contact and he's like "huh, guess it was nothing" and boom, TF over. 7 Hero Merits earned, even if you're a villain.
P.S. Blind should kill Overseers instantly.
Hey, who wants to bet how Maelstrom's career in Praetoria will end?
"Eddie... What are you doing?"
"What does it look like? He always busted my balls. "You fat, disgusting turncoat! You make me sick! Fatass! You're nothing but a waste of a character slot! You're so ugly, even your momma don't love you!" Well maybe he was right. Maybe I am nothing but a fat, disgusting traitor.
But you know what? It doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty, it's all the SAME once you're DEAD! And a corpse can't laugh. From now on, if anyone makes fun of me... I'll kill 'em!! Just like that..."
"Eddie... Have you gone nuts?"
"*Turns around slowly* I knew it, you too. You're just like 'em, Cole!"
"Hey... I didn't mean anything."
"Don't bother, I understand! You've been laughing at me all along, haven't you? Ever since we first met! I'll kill YOU, Cole!"
You guys won't believe this, but I just totally had one of these thought things while NOT ON A TF OH MY GOD yeah so anyway
I've been thinking that "dopplegangers" are starting to feel criminally overused.
A guy came into the police station the other day with a crumpled up piece of paper in his hand. In a fury he hurled it at the commissioner's face, who just stood there, put his hands on his hips, turned his head slightly to the left, then to the right, then looked straight at the guy.
"WHAT IS THIS" shouted the strange hero.
"So, you've decided to turn yourself in, then? Wise decision." the commissioner replied, obviously not having heard a word the man said.
The dude, who was obviously a superhero because he was in his underwear and had fairy wings, picked up the paper and unfurled it to reveal that it was a wanted poster with his face on it.
"I'M NOT A CRIMINAL DID YOU NOT HEAR ME LOOKING FOR A HERO TIPS TEAM EARLIER OR WHAT"
"Sorry," said the commissioner, now paying attention, "But one of our detectives saw you robbing King's Row bank earlier. You were clicking, and steam was pouring out of your head, but he was certain it was you. And you were apparently being chased by a Warhulk, so we're also going to have to charge you with aiding and abetting a known prussian metal-man."
At that the dude flipped, reached down and stuffed his entire inspiration tray into his mouth, then delivered an earth-shattering Energy Transfer right into the commish' face. The commissioner ragdolled, and then stood back up.
"The fact that you beat my head in so soundly proves your innocence. Maybe it wasn't you in the bank after all. Besides, when it happened, you'd just stepped into the back room to talk to the Detective about a safeguard. Anyway, maybe we--"
Then the dude just spun around and left. Weird.
Now, I was only there because I had to prove that it wasn't actually me helping Malta break into the Portal Corp labs, but I was in the line of people waiting to clear their names of stuff they didn't do, which was actually out the door at this point, so this dude was a total jerk for busting in like that.
Of course, it turns out that the dude actually DID rob the bank, and that it was his Automaton that was in the police station the other day.
Now this story originally had a moral but I forgot what it was and my head hurts. I'm gonna take a nap.
LSD is a hell of a drug.
i'm tempted to say we should put him and steelclaw in a room and see what they come up with.Then when we clear out the bodies, we could put the next two funny guys in a room with some air-holes..hindsight is 20/20, unless you have 6 eyes, then its 60/60
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to like, Issue 3, and just start blowing minds.
"So the other day I was on THE REVAMPED POSITRON TASK FORCE with my DUAL PISTOLS BLASTER with CUSTOM WHITE ENERGY MELEE and I said to my CORRUPTOR AND BRUTE VILLAIN TEAMMATES that I really like THE NEW PRAETORIAN STARTING ZONE because it has a really cool missions where you DO STUFF OTHER THAN CLICK A GLOWY OR KILL EVERYONE, and also because it looks really pretty in ULTRA GRAPHICS MODE FEATURING AMBIENT OCCLUSION. Boy am I glad JACK EMMERT ISN'T IN CHARGE ANYMORE INVENTION SETS RIKTI WARZONE INCARNATE ABILITIES"
Why yes I am on a Posi TF right now
Now I don't know which dev thought it was a good idea to give players the ability to eternally dribble a basketball and subject everyone around them to constant, rhythmic thumping but
oh man
go to hell
ResidentBaka..this is for you. For i believe this pic is spot on.
Also instead of multi-posting, edit one post and type there.
I appreciate a good stream of consciousness thread.
Wow. How did I miss this thread before? Please, never stop going on TFs baka...
