Incarnate: Some Assembly Required


Bright

... batteries not included.

So, I've FINALLY spent some time with the incarnate content. In fact, since last I posted here in the forums (and I bet most of you didn't even realize I was gone) I've even managed to get a 2nd character to 50.

Here are a few thoughts that have flitted through my head while tier-ing up my characters.

* I earn Physical XP by fighting... working my muscles... beating up bad guys... makes sense... I earn PSYCHIC XP by... wait... fighting, working out and beating up bad guys... hold on... am I having hallucinations again?

* "Hey Nightstar... that's a nasty dent you have there... howzabout I bang that out for ya?"

* On TPN Daily News: "Today in sports the Praetorian Professional Tennis Tournament was underway when suddenly super beings and a horde of killer robots decided to have their battle right at center court. Undeterred, last year's champion Kyle Breckinridge gamely held his position on the court but lost against the mayhem 60-luv."

* "I'm on the ground again? Man, this is some killer s**t..."

* A friend of mine said he found the unedited raw footage of Anti-Matter's pre-Keyes speech. We formed a team and he hacked the system so we got the original, un-cut cutscene. Two hours later, during which he threatened to hold his breath until he got he wanted not once, not twice, but three separate times, Anti-Matter won the battle. Not because of any power on his part, but because all but two members of the League had quit... and one of the two had actually fallen asleep at their keyboard.

* To the tune of White Rabbit: One pod lends it healing... and one pod heal debuffs... and the one the Dev's were smoking... helped them think up this stuff...

* Avoid the green! Get out of the green! If you're fighting Anti-Matter jump out of the green zone! If you're running a MoM stay away from the GREEN!! No wonder some people take so long to work up the courage to click the green button to start the mission in the first place...

* After running TPN I really think the Praetorian Civillians have let their whole invulnerability thing go to their heads.

* "But... I can't build my next tier power... it... it requires Biomorphic Goo and well... he's too cute! I can't bring myself to use him in a recipe... I've named him Squishy..."

* DJ Zero: "And I thought the ROLEPLAYERS were annoying..."

* "Whatcha reading there? Forbidden Technique? Lemme see... whoa... I can see why they left THESE pages out of the Kama Sutra..."

* Siege: "Aw come on! (pant) Why do we have to... (gasp) fight all the way... (wheeze) over here?! Can't you (cough) ACU's slow the heck down so you don't make me... (gasp) look so bad?!"

* Okay, see... Mayhem or not... MY Mother doesn't dress that way.

* "Roger... I'm worried about our son... last night I walked by his room and he kept muttering 'looking for BAF... anyone starting a BAF' over and over again.." "Well dear, I haven't wanted to mention this... but... he DOES need to work on his hygiene after all..."

* I want to start a petition for the Devs to add something to Ouroboros. Directly between the Empyrean and Astral vendors I want an opening in the fence and beyond it a suspended path that loops around and about before coming back to another opening directly beside the first. Nothing special about it, just a small winding walking path. Directly next to the opening I want a small sign with an arrow pointing that reads: "This way to Incarnate Trail."


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Glad to see the itrials haven't destroyed your sense of humor/insanity.


To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine the light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be....


I'm sorry what was that, I couldn't hear you over my TRAGIC PAST!!

My mind/psi dom is looking at you sideways.

We're in deep doo-doo if John McEnroe is playing.

Litter it with demons and hand out special glasses before you enter, then you can have the Incarnate Trail to Hell - In 3D.

Is this where I mention that Ty'ree has a pet piece of Regenerating Flesh?

She named it Squiggles. o_0

Welcome back, Steelclaw! It is so good to have you and your witty words brightening the forums again.

My housemates extend their compliments, too, for the laughter you induce. Thank you.

Too true. Way too true.

Everyone should have a pet Squishy.

Note the matching "protrusion" on Siege. Those two were literally made for each other.

God that sounds like a cheesy, crude, offensive pickup line.

I LIKE!

Does this mean that the pool is no longer running?
