Update:

I have moved, and following that (for the past three weeks) I have been trying to shake off a cold. It's been difficult getting my voice back in shape — just in time for winter, when auditions come thick and fast.

Tomorrow after work (that is, Saturday) I'll record the next Stan & Lou, in Croatoa.

It may take a day or three to complete, because of the timing of my various... er, guest stars.

I'll try getting the next Stan and Lou written over the weekend, as well. Sorry for the long delay.

Croatoa?! Sweet!

Anyway, hey, delays happen, you know? Especially this time of year.

When has trick or treating ever been hard? You dress up, you go door to door, and you get stuff. That's the way trick or treating works....

I'm not sure pumpkin-monsters, werewolves, zombies, or witches ever lunged out at me when I went trick-or-treating in real life, but that's why City of Awesome is better than reality.

I love the temporary costumes. I wish that recipes for them would be added to the game. Especially if scoring the final costume badge caused one to "memorize" the recipes, like with IO Enhancements. If that were implemented, I'd finally create that character who wears a powered-armor suit which I recently learned would look a lot like a PPD Hardsuit.

I've got no complaints about the Inspiration rates. It's fun to pop off one or two of those rare, top-tier Inspirations just to make room in my tray.

I think we're all overanalyzing. Look at the image, what do you see? A snake, in the shape of infinity. The meaning is clear.

In Issue 11, every villain group will be infiltrated and taken over by the Snakes. There will be infinite Snakes. FreakSnakes. Banished Snakes. Embalmed Snakes. The Carnival of Snakes. Snake Head Gunners. Snake Protectors. Serpent Snakes. Legacy Snakes. Snake Mitochondria. Snakes of Artemis.

ALL WILL BE SNAKES.

Issue 11: Go. Hunt. Kill Snakes.

Don't forget the Security Snakes.

Impressive, young Brawler.

All I have is this snowglobe, but I'm content in our love. I don't need all of that stuff to feel close to her. Our love is palpable.

I wonder why everyone likes her. What’s the appeal? I don’t argue it, but I DO ponder it…

I think it's the unabashed insanity and murderous tendancies. I don't get it, but that's my theory.

Could someone explain this to me please

All Rikti should be targettable after they die.

[/ QUOTE ]

/em boggle

what's the reasoning?

[/ QUOTE ]

There are powers, such as the Warshades' Unchain Essence, which must target a defeated enemy. Since some Rikti couldn't be targetted after being killed off, they couldn't be used for such powers. Now they can be.

"Man, I hate my job!"

Since people are doing the "All your base" thing, why not the complete version:

States: What happen?
Posi: Someone set us up the bomb.
Synapse: We get signal.
States: What!
Synapse: Main screen turn on!
States: It's you!
Recluse: How are you gentlemen?
Recluse: All your base are belong to us!
States: What you say?
Recluse: You have no chance to survive make your time!
Recluse: Ha ha ha.
Posi: Captain?
States: You know what you doing.
States: Take off every Zig.
States: For great justice.
States: Move Zig.

And another ref from an old video game:

Recluse: AYA! I lose again! But I not give up! One day, I will be a winner is me!!

Edit: Aw, someone beat me to the musical version.

Edit, again:

Ghost Widow: My lord, our forces have conquered Warburg! All of those cruise missiles are ours to command!

Recluse: Victory! There is only one way to celebrate the rain of devistation that shall befall Paragon City! (singing)

"The ray-de-a-shun in the ground,
Makes a love-ly, bubbley sound.
The men in suits,
Who don't eat fruit,
Can't compre-hend,
The one-leg-ed newt.
That was caused from disaster at th' reactor's core,
A melt-down expected to start a war!
Now I bought my-self a lead ascot,
It looks good, but I'm starting to rot!
(chorus)
Hey you,
With that green glow in your hair,
I swear I see a tear,
In your ray-de-a-shun wear,
somehow it's there!
(banjo solo)
Recluse: Razor blades, boomerangs and iron hands,
Cross-bows an' hockey pads are in demand!
The toxic waste in synthetic place,
Can add an eye-ball to your face!
(chorus 2)
Hey you,
With that green glow in your hair,
I swear I see a tear,
In your ray-de-a-shun wear,
somehow it's there!
Hey me,
You know your gums are startin' to bleed,
I got some shrinkin' and mutatin' genes,
And some bleak posterity,
If they end up...

Black Scorpion: Like me, (sound of tap-dancing)
I'm The Humungous.
Everybody knows,
That I rule the wastelands.
Now lemme introduce to you,
Benjy,
The tap-dancing mutant boy.
Aw, Benjy-boy.

Mako (he's the one tap-dancing): Hi, I'm Benjy,
I'm the tap-dancing mutant boy.
I wasn't always like this,
I was born a normal boy.
But now I live,
In this world of joy!

Recluse: It's Benjy,
From Peoria,
Don't drink the water,
I implor-ia!
But his mom and dad,
They were ex-posed,
An' that's how the neutrons grow!
(final chorus)
Hey you,
With that green glow in your hair,
I swear I see a tear,
In your ray-de-a-shun wear,
Somehow it's there!
Woah, hey me,
You know your gums are startin' to bleed,
I got some shrinkin' and mutatin' genes,
And some bleak post-air-i-tee,
If they end up...
(Recluse raises his voice an octave)
Like... meee..."

Ghost Widow: That's it, I'm leaving.

This, my friends, is pure genius. This is like 10 pounds of awesome in a 5-pound sack. Seriously.

Addressing the concern over a sort of Signature Power Respec, could it be included as an option during a normal Respec? Like, after you've done everything else, the game would ask you if you want to change your Signature Power, or just leave it alone.

Let me toss in a suggestion: How about the option to tie SigPowers to one of a character's ordinary powers? That would, for the most part, take care of the animation, although additional effects may be added. My idea is that, when you used the Signature Power, it would also count as using the ordinary power, so they'd both have to recharge. The ordinary power would recharge at its own speed, based on Enhancements, buffs, etc., while the SigPower would recharge according to how many points you put into it. The SigPower would use the normal power's abilities as a base, and it would cost points to tie the SigPower to a regular power -the cost would be determined by the regular power, so a Tier 9 would cost more than a Tier 1. Nukes and Moment of Glory powers might have other restrictions.

Instead of spending points on damage and accuracy,a tied SigPower would have its points go into buffing the base power's abilities, and can add different damage types.

For example, I have an Assault Rifle / Energy Blaster called Samael Deiner, who's from Germany, and is an artificial beastie formed of machinery and magic. Yeah, crazy.

Anyway, Samael's (pronounced with a "Z" instead of an "S") Signature Power would have a name somewhere along the lines of "Magic Bullets". Something like that. It would be tied to the Full Auto power, and so both powers have to be recharged and usable to execute the attack. It would work just like Full Auto, but it would give Samael's rifle an aura similar to Energy Melee attacks, and would cause an additional, I don't know, 50% damage. All of the additional damage would be Energy, while the damage normally caused by Full Auto would still be Lethal.

From a storyline perspective, well, Samael serves the family of the man who created him without question, and his current master wants him to be a hero, so Samael's putting his all into that. He uses a variety of firearms, as well as magic, so it's only a matter of time before he works out how to mix the two.
