The Kindle of podcasting is back (you don't have to give them your credit card number, but they'll take it if you really want to), and this time they actually cover CoH for like half the show. What a treat.

Dvorak dot org slash blog.

Your work is amazing, sir. I'm glad you picked the project back up.

You can hardly go wrong with Kung Fu Master. The pacing remains the best I've ever seen in any CoX video. Too bad the high quality version is MIA.

And a big shout out to SupaNerd's very well done CoH primer.

You have my full support Lighthouse. Good luck to you.

OMG I must play a mission created by the Jerks. That will be...interesting. lol

It's going to be interesting to see if the player base at large find player-created missions rewarding enough to even bother with. Though fighting costumed opposition more often than you do in the current missions alone could make it worth the price of entry. They just need to get the rewards to a sweet spot where people will do both player missions and dev missions. Right now...I don't know. I question it.

And taking breaks is healthy. I do it too from time to time. Everyone should.

The show was way off topic, but it's understandable given how much time has passed since we last had an Issue. There's not that much to base a show on right now. Sounds like you guys are losing interest in the game. Well, it happens.

I loved your PvP vids Wraiven, but this one has a bit of a problem with exposition. Exposition is often a necessary evil in storytelling, but in small quantities. This video is nothing but exposition. Show don't tell.

It always warms my cockles to see the bad guy with the upper hand.

Actually, some unofficially-spoilered information about I13 actually indicates that my dominators lose powers they liked and get to keep the powers that suck.

I'm not worried about Doms. In fact, I'm excited about them. Take that as you will.

And he wonders why we don't write lol. PWND.

No to controlling the pets (that steps on MM toes a bit too much) but yes to renaming. It'd be a fun little addition to the game.

Well, the French do call it "the little death".

What I don't like is the Zombies are relatively difficult to defeat, yet give next-to-no XP. That really makes me not want to even bother with the Zombies. They need to have their XP increased.

Maybe it's just me, but when Pinhead rips people apart with his chains, it doesn't strike me as the least bit sexual. Despite the obvious influence of the Cenobites being BDSM.

Wonder Woman, poster child of bondage, is straight out of the Comics Code era.

Strange that in a game where you can shoot people and set them on fire, among various other things, simply tying them up would be so verboten.

*goes off to play his Doms*

P.S. Spiderman is all about tying people up. Man, that bug loves doing that!

On Patrol!

SUBBED!

Snake Caves, similar to CoH sewers or troll caverns.
Forbidden Islands, where Recluse sends the more troublesome inhabitants that he may need later.
Volcano Island with secret lair, where villains can raid for temp powers.
Rogue Arachnos Base island, where you are sent in to quell the rebellion and return it to Recluse' control.

Those are some pretty solid ideas! I wish that kind of thing could happen.

In the future competitive zones would be a big improvement over YMCO (Yet More Co-op).

I love this system! I love the Accolades, I love the double XP, I love that it encourages alts and I love that you can't have every Day Job there is inside of a couple of months (thereby trivializing it).

Oh, and it'll let me get a Web Grenade back on my Weapons Scrapper.

Hey folks.. Silly thought.. so a Scrapper takes Weapon Mastery and uses the Targeting Drone... but they have also been around long enough to get the Combat Pet Vet rewards... and took the Shield or Power Drone powers?

Now has two disco balls dancing around!

*grin*

That's nothing compared to a Grav/Elec Dom with Singy, Voltaic Sentinel and a vet wisp.

The Weapons Pool is one of my favorites, I sure hope I don't lose any powers from it due to the addition of Focused Accuracy. It would kinda ruin the gadgety quality of the set. I'm not a fan of FA at all.

That wallpaper expands upon the original piece perfectly!

And they say there's no crossover in the game. (All role players/story-centric players know there already is).

The first one does show something we currently lack in this game though, the classic "death trap". It's very possible to add it in though, I'll wager.

All three great pieces! Very well done.

Good episode, but it sounded like you mentioned the name of the gold farming site responsible for most of the spam in game. If so, boo.

...You DO know that TWiT is one of my inspirations. That, and Retronauts.

TWiT used to be consistently good back when it started up. Recently, it's taken a horrible, horrible turn for the worse. The most recent episode looked like it was going to suck when they started talking about stocks, but they pulled it out and actually managed some tech stories for the first time in two weeks.

When John Dvorak isn't there, you can count on it stinking up the joint. I still like the show, but man, when they talk IPOs, stocks and all that bullcrap rather than tech, it just really bugs me.

And ah, I see another Jerk episode is up! Good to see. Just don't go all TWiT on me.

Unyielding is actually more difficult solo than Invincible, apart from Archvillains. More baddies to manage = more difficult = more fun = more drops = more inf'. It's the circle of life, and it moves us all.
