You know it's really heartbreaking and insensitive to keep supplying new things, we can barely keep track of the current things. Your not thinking of long time absent players who just kept the subscription active out of nostalgia and can now barely figure out what the hoo haa is going on.

I am just saying...

And in saying that, also MOAR!

I checked out Brickstown, and the Zig is still on the ground.

My bet is SSA #2. It's a new month after all and even though the last one just came out, I suspect they want to normalize the release to the 1st of the month... The arc probably has us invading a base or taking it over.

Personally I'm really hoping it's Street Justice though!

pretty good explaination, only one addendum i'd put on. The meme grew as a result of the website "something awful" photo-manipulating the phrase into a bunch of mundane pictures, and a newgrounds video where a group "the laziest men on mars" did a techno ideo using samples of the opening, along with many, many photomanipulations putting the slogan in comical places, like the presidential seal. i'd link, but there is an obscene gestures in one of the pics and id get zapped. basically, hit up youtube, cant miss it, and the song is catchy.

Because you are.

I hope you didn't JUST realize that. LOL Last weekend I was in Talos and the man had Hamidon Seeds stretched from the train station all the way to Founders Falls and I forget how far in the other direction. Then more in FF and finally.. in the Hive. Oh he threw in numerous IDF and Warwalker GMs too. Hmmm come to think of it.. that was FUN. and he's evil because..... me is confused.

[see i figure if I butter him up he might talk] Oh dang I shouldn't have posted that huh

Already been posted here, the offending image is pretty tame and flashes by.

ZWill.... Knock it off already will ya, we already know how cool you are yet here you are each week going and upping the ante. Quite the nerve ya know, why can't you be like all those other CR's that just lurk and mumble?

Memes make me smile.

I don't want to start any wild rumors, but Street Justice is listed with the rest of the melee sets in the character creation screen. Clicking the store link for it gives an "Unknown SKU" error in the market right now, though...


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Uh oh! I see me a new grayed out powerset under melee archs....

Unfortunate that it currently leads to an "unknown sku"

xD

Huzzah for StJ!!

Suddenly glad I sat on some points last week

However I think the correct way to respond to a meme is with another. Exactly how many people are going to roll StJ characters *if* it goes live later? It's over 9000!

Yeah just noticed that, was all excited for about 3 seconds

I still think it's absurd that you can't preview the powers or real numbers for a set before you buy it. It doesn't even affect me as I know I'll end up buying all the sets anyway, but I still think it's stupid.

I always thought it was badCRC's original flash animation with the Microsoft Sam narration that started the meme proper, but I could be wrong.

*edit*
Also, what's a "SKU?"

I know, it's the dreaded Wikipedia but it appears to be right in this case.

So, is something actually going to HAPPEN today? Because it's past regular maintenance time and I don't see maintenance, and the store still doesn't have my SKU.

I don't think they need to do maintenance to add stuff to the store. I think the CoT costume set was avalible before the maintenance we had last week.


So how do you want to be done? Medium, Well or Extra Crispy?

There's also Dictionary.com. It always amazes me when people ask questions on the internet for things that can be so easily looked up.

I asked, I got an answer. This seems easier to me.

Has someone posted this yet?

They don't have to do maintenance to add stuff to the Paragon Market, assuming the items they're adding are already in the game code.

It's been in the game code for a while. They have Street Justice and one or two other certain melee powersets already in the code. Type Rib Cracker or Spinning Strike in brackets in the ingame chat window to see what I mean.

This is also why there is no downtime needed for adding to the store, or WSTs, etc. It's called pre-loading or front-loading, it's 99% less prone to failure than asking us to download everything on release day.

Hoping I'm not violating any rules here...


Even against certain death, it matters not how or if we fight, only that we do.
