Yep would of loved therm and fire but instead we get Traps and AR??? whats up with that.



to me it's a toss up...

Emp/Fire is a combo i've wanted ever since I became the self-proclaimed Emeril Lagasse of Empathy...

TA/AR is a combo I've wanted since I realized how brokenly powerful the combination will be.



Empathy/Fire? What would your character name be? "Feel the Burn"?

Would like the video more if it weren't for the fact that the local classic rock station seems to think only 2 Queen songs exist (this song and Under Pressure) And lets say the Fat Bottomed Girls:Under Pressure play ratio seems either 80:20 or 90:10.



Any rock station that doesn't play "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions" among others needs to hand in it's rock cred card. This is likely my favorite Queen song ever and it pretty much never gets played on the radio.



My favorite Queen songs:
'39
You're My Best Friend
Spread Your Wings
Another One Bites The Dust
Get Down, Make Love

And, not technically a Queen song, but wonderful nontheless:
The Great Pretender

Death on Two Legs is pretty cool, too, for when I'm in a particularly foul mood.

Some particulars are left out of certain sets (no yellow ice patch, no bloody ice...). People will whine but then that's better than the alternative



I can see why no yellow ice, but what's wrong with red ice?



We want ice to look like 'ice' and because of how the FX were created when you apply a very saturated, non-cool hue to them they no longer look like ice and instead look like a cartoonish jewel.

Even saturated greens turn ice FX into emeralds, so we've had to desaturate the hues as they move away from the cool cyans/blues.

There's still reds, oranges, yellows, etc...but they're desaturated tints.

Gotta give some major props to Babs and the animations crew. i16 as far as the new animation and color customization is all about him. And of course Castle and his cronies for the power proliferation. However, Earth assault is NOT a proliferated power set, by definition any "assault"power set is unique to Dominators, a combination of "blast" and "melee" powers.

Anyway great job guy can't wait to get my hands on this and test the crap out it.

The new MA animation do look a bit underwhelming from the videos I hope they look better in person.

Anyway Happy birthday Z I. gratz on the level.



It's one powerset proliferated from two others.

While cleaning out files, I found the notes I'd started a while back on creating a City of Heroes/City of Villains tarot deck...

Anyone else think we should get David Nakayama to do the art for the cards?





I'd be down for this. Got a couple other things I'd like to draw for you guys as well...

Who is that Unknown Woman... Mynx?


And congratulations to the guy who teabagged Positron!



Fixed that for ya Z_M. At least I refrained from putting (Foxbat) in with his name.



Unknown Woman is Karen Reynoso, our events coordinator. She's kept in a cryostasis most of the year, and brought out only to run the booths at the cons.

"Jimmy Olsen's Blues" by The Spin Doctors. So funky, so awesome.



Ah, guess I had the name wrong. This is what I was referring to as "Pocketful of Kryptonite" in my previous post. Love the song!

The handful of non-glowing responses I've seen have been very reasonable and more in the realm of disappointed but still understanding. For that I'm exceedingly grateful.

So thanks for staying positive and constructive, it makes reading the forums so much easier and working on this game so much more rewarding.
