Folks who follow me on Twitter (@Samuraiko) know I'm prone to posting impromptu riffs a la the old Burma-Shave signs that were once used for advertising on the highways of America:

"Your shaving brush / Has had its day / So why not / Shave the modern way. Burma-Shave"

So on a lark, for #SaveCoH, I posted these:

  • AP Three Three / Torches aloft / Save COH / From NCsoft.
  • We fight for justice / through and through / coz we're heroes / it's what we do.
  • It's not just all / blowing up cars / it's coz we're villains / what's ours is ours.

Then I started on ones for each of the archetypes:
  • Pull the aggro / Then retreat / End up dead / At your team's feet. Burma Blaster.
  • You're not going / Anywhere / Unless you're wormholed / Over there. Burma Controller.
  • Though all you do / Is heal and buff / When saving a**es / That's enough! Burma Defender.
  • Too many foes / Is not a prob / Someone go get / Another mob. Burma Scrapper.
  • Dispatching mobs / With gleeful ease / I am the meat shield / SB please! Burma Tank.

Until I realized I'd forgotten the villains:
  • Keep that Fury / Bar at max / And mobs all look / Like tasty snacks. Burma Brute.
  • You HAD defenses / But no more / Scourge has dropped them / Through the floor. Burma Corruptor.
  • Controls and blasts / With great aplomb / Especially / With Perma-Dom. Burma Dominator.
  • I am a team / Without the wait / Though pet AI / Is less than great. Burma Mastermind.
  • I'm by the boss / I'm by the glowie / It's not my prob / That stealth ain't showy. Burma Stalker.

And then I had to do the HEATs/VEATs:
  • Lobster and squid / Are not just foods / We're aliens / Inside you dudes. Burma Kheldian.
  • Kalinda's list / Is incomplete / YOUR destiny's / Beneath our feet. Burma Arachnos S/W.

And a lot of folks seemed to like them, so I figured I'd share them here.

EDIT: Then the roommates have contributed:
  • Holding aggro's / Not my job / I'm off to chase / Another mob. Burma Scrapper.

Uh-huh.

And you changed your avatar! (Although personally, if you were gonna use Pinkie Pie as your avatar, you should have gotten a screencap of her from this clip...)

Had to. Having Doc as my avatar with a badge count is tradition:


Halloween costume:


Futurama and Tiny Toons in the base, thanks to Splasher:


I found the demo NPC code for a bunch of stuff including trees and seagulls, and thus:


Fluctuating avatar size because of the forum transition that took forever:


Mission Architect badges got removed, count went down:


Briefly at Justice for the Hamidon training:


And back on Freedom, kicking Hami's goo:


I forget what the monocle was about. I think it was for getting Bug Hunter:


Going Rogue. In the pits of Bat'Zul's volcano:


And current. No server name, because I have been server hopping all month:


Last time I broke a tradition, it was by not being in the i24 beta, and the game got cancelled. Won't risk messing with any other traditions for a while...
