men may have designed them, Stacy, but who WEARS them? high-heeled shoes, at least, are not required anywhere but certain... entertianment venues... as work outfits. It's very unfair to blame men for the fashion problems that women willingly collude with.


Oh, forget it. I was feeling snarky.

btw, Fell, UXB looks even better compared to Scott Kurtz's character. Who, I think, looks... well...dumb.

I know this is pretty much just rehashing what you put in today's blog, but I really think the street clothes outfit is vastly superior as far as alternate costumes go. Maybe it just balances out her character better because her normal super outfit is too sexy.

By the way, I've already decided what Cadamis' second outfit will be. Full business suit with sunglasses. Rectangular sunglasses, if possible. That's another reason I vote for UXB in street clothes--it would match Cadamis' second outfit well.

That would just be sick. Ninja monkey is a far superior choice to Cadamis.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I've going to vote against Tron.  I think it looks too busy.  On the other hand, not knowing Nightwing, I really like that one.  The colors work well together.  I'm not opposed to the jeans look, though.  

You know, Fell, if you'd been clever, you would have given her dark hair and named her Dawn.  That way, when your wife saw her, you could have just said "But Honey--it's YOU.  It's all right for me to look at a pretty girl on the screen as long as it's you, right?"

I tried a black-haired version and she looked pretty good...not sure if I still have a picture. In light of your ingenius idea, maybe I'll have to go back and revisit that plan.

That Ninja Monkey is pretty dang awesome--I almost fell off the chair when I saw the Battle Cry. Just for that, Entropy, you get a special present in the next blog.

I have to say that I like UXB with the blue hair.  I'm just saying, you know, for future characters.  You'd have to name one after your wife for it to really work.  It would be amusing, however--especially if you made the costume as skimpy as you could.  (Not sure you can get any more skimpy than UXB's current costume, though....)

It is possible through careful colour choices to make characters appear naked. And you can get very damn skimpy indeed... how about 3 pieces of cloth of about 6 square inches each?

Ninja monkey, it should be noted, is level 4 and waiting for the next time I see you guys to be played. Only TWGers shall be blessed with his presence. I saw Cadamis just now, but i'm knackered and it's late. BTW fell, only Graveborne, Ricter 10 and UXB now show up on the friends list. The others, probably due to inactivity, no longer exist as far as CoH is concerned.

My current character list, incase you want to look for me:

SideSwiped Girl (Level 22 scrapper)
Errant IceDeath (Level 7 tanker)
'Ninja Monkey (Level 4 scrapper)
Judas Ischariot (Level 7 Defender)

The last one never gets played, for he is a Forcefield defender, one of the most boring jobs known to mankind (you cast forcefields at the start of combats, activate the Area of Effect ones, then sit back and have a smoke. That is literally all they do. They are just as effective while AFK with autocast and autofollow on as when their user is present).

It's really only a matter of time before I make The Grey Knight. I'm just trying to work out what powers he should have... Scrapper with Broadsword, or Controller with Illusion?

ok, so there's a new blog up

ANd I made the pictures pretty on my own.

Y'know, I ran into that language thing this weekend too. My father-in-law put in the new video the LDS Church is putting out on the Restoration and his language filter kept bleeping out "Jesus" and "Christ." It was really weird to listen to someone talking about his witness of Jesus when you could hear half the testimony.

Fell, I hope you realize that Cadamis and Sir Carl have to play together at some point, if for nothing else than the screenshots. If only we could get more AORPers to play...

if I had a computer that'd run it, you can bet there'd be a long bearded SaintEhlers about. Maybe I'd make someone else's char. Maybe a Shea. Do they even have transformation powers?
