new speculative blog

anyway, I think I like the idea of a mastermind class, but I don't see why he would need to double someone's combat job. Has the Joker OR the Penguin EVER done anything significant in a fight? Nope? They're pretty pansy guys. So their combat is just the lackeys. That's it. They hang back and order lackeys around.

Perhaps a superpower would be giving bonuses to hit, or something, to OTHER people. They themselves are pretty bad about actually duking it out.

Lesser known ?!? That's Bugs freakin Bunny!
I've gone ahead an intro'd myself in the appropriate thread :)

Lemme intro my CoH selves which are all on Victory:
Capt Blaze (energy/dev blaster)
Halloween Eve (dark defender)
Ghoulia Darke (claws/regen scrapper)
Mr. Creepsly (ill/rad controller)
seeing a theme develop? lol

I'll prob try to look some of you up in game. I seem to make lots of friends while playing and then never see them again, lol! Maybe it's me?
There's a cool little site called http://www.creyindustries.com/ where you can post profiles/pics of your heroes.

new blog, about a villain with nigh unpronouncable name. I know that I, at least, am not sure how to spell it.

In other news, I like the narrative style. Though I want to know where you met these other people you talk to.

new blog, not dead yet, is up.

I think I've already mocked it enough.

Tiny typo:

I'm sure the villians would find it amusing to rez you then beat you up again though :)

Finally got flight over the weekend. Wooooo!

This morning I got to experience one of those rare wonderous moments in the game: feeling like the hero you are.
 Capt Blaze was cruising around Steel Canyon searching for Vahzilok's minions (with his new flight power!) when his helmet scanners picked up a fierce battle at the entrance to a nearby back alley.
 Blaze focused his sensors to find a hero scrapper besiged by a pair of 5th Column Nazis. The fallen Nazis at the hero's feet made it clear this fight had been long and taxing. The hero was holding them off as best he could, giving as much as he was getting. But the lieutenant and his flunky had the scrapper on the ropes.
 Capt. Blaze swooped by, switching his jet boots into hover mode for better aim. He let loose with a powerful sniper blast, knocking the Nazi lieutenant down and almost into unconsciousness.
 The fatigued hero knocked out the minion and had no trouble cleaning up his superior. Blaze flipped the hero a casual salute before kicking his jet boots back into flight mode and continuing his search of the city.

These events are only a minute or two in the game but it makes the whole playing experience that much better.

Stuff like that would make the game a lot better, Dex1138. The best games always strive to make you feel like your game avatar, whatever that might be.

I don't call her over and say, "hey! Check this one out!" But I don't hide them from her, either. She really likes some of the new designs I'm tinkering with.

ugh... those are poorly compiled screen shots, and they don't show the cape in action.
