Quote:Maybe there's some way to unlock these for free, but the game is telling me they cost 160 points each. Most of these were auras we had before the switch to Freedom.Originally Posted by BellaStrega
Which one? When I came back to the game, all the auras that were available to me when I unsubbed were still available to me. The only auras that I've had to pay for are auras that didn't exist when I last played, during and after the launch of Going Rogue and issue 18.

Since this forum is rated T-for-Teen, even with the disclaimer this thread shouldn't be allowed.
I've had threads modded for lesser "violations" of the ESRB ratings. I'd think promoting alcohol would be right up there on the verboten list. -

The problem with comparing comic books to video games is that they DON'T compare.
A comic book writer can pose a challenge to an utterly invincible character by presenting them with a moral dilemma that character has to cope with. A video game cannot do that, not realistically anyway.
Also, not all superheroes are Tank-Mages. Most of the best ones aren't, in fact. And that's because Tank-mages (like Superman) are stupefyingly boring. Once you start talking about that sort of power level with that ridiculous range of abilities, it becomes almost impossible to create a plausible foe. After that it becomes a case of "take down the bad guy without destroying property" or "rescue two people on opposite sides of the planet at the same time" type of situations. -
I think it pretty much works out in favor of VIP subscribers overall, but I do find it annoying that previously free auras are now gated behind the market. I wanted to use one the other day for a character only to find it was no longer available. Kind of a minor nitpick, all things considered.

I had one of those "Wait... what?" moments when I found out that Tim Matheson (Animal House, The West Wing, Burn Notice and a billion other things) was the original voice for Jonny Quest.

He also has a couple "Google Earth"-type aerial renders of the camp.
On DA I have a Favorites folder called "Futuropolis" where I collect pictures like this. The idea of the folder is to create a future megalopolis comprised of the works of different artists. You can see the collection here: http://dashmccool.deviantart.com/favourites/45101294 -
Is that from someone on DeviantArt? I could swear I have that in my favorites folder.

Here are some variations on a theme I did a few years back. The same outfit can look strikingly different depending on the color scheme.
Here's one of Sparky's characters in a demoedit. When it comes to classic costumes, few are better than Sparky.
This is a brilliant design I ran into a few years ago. It captures the inspiration beautifully and also works as a classic 3-color superhero outfit.
Check out this stunning creation using 4 colors: brown, black, gold and white.
Another from my OPC files:
And THIS... man, words fail me at the sheer genius of this design. Four colors used magnificently. I wish I'd thought of this combo. One of my all-time faves.

This was my favorite shot. It felt like going through a deep ocean forest while hunting out Lusca's head.
In other news, the Paragon City Fish Market is having a sale on calamari. -
Xenophage's "Cola Blasters" are quite creative.

Quote:Yeah, I hated farming but I loved herding. Herding was a blast. However, in my LFG text I always had some version of "no farms" there. The one exception to that rule was when ED was coming down the pike in CoV beta and Positron goes, "We're going to blindside people with this, how should we phrase it?"Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Yes, I too remember being invited to a team and told to stay at the door while other people played the game for me. It's what inspired me to start my business of going to rich people's houses to eat their food for them. I was SO doing them a favour, no matter what the judge says!
After getting a taste of it, I sent my two Blasters to the farm for some help getting past the level 35-40 xp dead zone. I wasn't too concerned with my rate of achievement before that, but I knew my favorite character was about to get neutered to point of not-much-fun, so I wanted him over the hump where all we had was street sweeping. -

I'm uncomfortable.
EDIT: Why are Marauder's abs misaligned?

I don't know who this guy is, but he doesn't even really have abs. That's just a random assortment of muscles.

Holy banana hammock, Fatman!
Am I the only one who never noticed the crotch of ANY of the characters on any loading screen? What is wrong with you people? -
I think doors came after that.

Oh, hey, speaking of herding maps with Tanks, want me to blow your minds? I invented "punchvoke." Check it out.
Edit: in response to Jack, no less.

Let's see, what were some of his other ones.
"Hey, Blasters, here's Defiance 1.0! Be sure to tell people not to heal you!"
"Yeah, I was playing my gameboy on an airplane, and kept dying to this boss, running back and dying over and over. it was great!"
Paraphrased, of course.

Wow, I want to do that.

So you keep some cards permanently and some you play as needed?

I don't play these kinds of games (although I did play a fun little card game called Gloom the other day)... how do deck-building games work?

I have no idea when this was taken, but I uncovered it in my archives.

Oh, I have some of those. I think these are from beta, so mid- to late-March 2004:
This is one from the headstart, so April '04:
