Irresponsible

Personally I was rooting for Joe Insanity and some of the costumes like Demichi's and Kiera-Oona's amazed me with the amount of work that must have gone into them, but I have to say that I was very impressed by all the contestants and any one of them could have been named winner without complaint from me.

So when is the interview with Vince D'Amelio coming out? Seems like I've been waiting for it forever.

I enjoyed the new Content Watch and even learned a thing or two from it.

Aww poor cynical /em Smack. I always believe people when they say their sg needs them. What? It could happen.

Another home run folks. You guys planning to write anything about Issue 11 next time?

That edition was so good it was downright spoooky! Great artwork, great articles, great everything. I also loved the interview with Samuraiko.

PS she's already made a couple of videos so cool that Cryptic should totally hire her already!

Same here. Positron really ought to put his freak'n helmet back on if that's the best they can do. Bald can be and often is beautiful but he needs a makeover like how.

Go. Hunt. Get Badge. (best title ever!) is a welcome addition and the City Traveler continues to rock the house. In fact all the articles from A to Z in this edition were just fantastic. Kudos to everyone involved. I really missed Behind the Mask and the Market Watch but everything else was perfect.

Still no Athy or LiquidX=Boo! And don't tell me to write in questions cause I have been but either they suck or that send a message via the forums thing is broken. Seriously guys if the advice columns aren't working write something else already.

Are you guys just not doing the Athy and LiquidX advice columns anymore? What gives? Nobody writing in to ask good questions? I Find that hard to believe but if so please feel free to invent your own questions to answer or do something else. Just ain't as entertaining without them.

((Great read. Hope you keep updating this.))

I haven't bought an RPG game in a while but this is one I definitely will purchase if it ever comes out. It would be worth it just to have the stats of the Freedom Phalanx, Vindicators, Regulators, Arachnos, and other major heroes and villains from the game.

Man, every time I turn on the tv that ad for Heavenly Sword is playing and making me wish we could get Dual Blades like that girl in the commercial has. Now those would be something to get excited about!

And one request I would like is to actually have sheaths for these to be pulled out from..... I agree that pulling them out of a black hole of nothingness is kinda lame..... I mean, the Jounins get two Katanas on their backs, and Infernal keeps his Axe on his back. Can we finally get new back costume parts to go with these cool new powersets?

Castle makes a strange noise whenever it's mentioned.

If you guys no likey then screw that stupid poll and do what you want. You can't make great art by committee and the same surely goes for a great game.

Would you consider going with Energy Blade over Staves or Street fighting? I understand there are issues about balance but just another smashing melee set would be boring. How about a completely crazy set that would be half energy and half fire damage? Anything different would be nice.

Yeah you can't tell squat about a set from just a couple of screen shots but Dual Blades do look much longer and thinnner than I was hoping they'd be. Also the design is kind of boring as others have said. They need some more wicked looking skins.

Heck, I might argue that it's the Freaks themselves that are the most powerful street gang in Paragon city, not the Warriors.

[/ QUOTE ]

From what I can recall from that movie the Warriors weren't the most powerful gang just the best In fact the members of it spent the entire movie being outnumbered and outgunned. What made them so good was being the underdogs that survived against all the odds, much like the Warriors in the game versus the Tsoo and Freakshow and whatnot.

You've never heard of the Taxibots?

No I hadn't and is the above link the one you meant? Fascinating stuff anyway, thanks.

... you do know Athy has all the arm codes and aiming coordinates for that, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ha! The joke, it is on her then. My head has been empty of anything valuable for years.

Sorry to hear about the big shake up but hope all those that left are going on to positive things. Great job on all the old and new sections. I especially liked the awesomely funny City of Zeroes strip and The City Traveler. Taxibot Belle has my new favorite costume of all time. LiquidX was hilarious as always. Keep em coming people.

Gah! As if I'm not suffering enough from withdrawal that I have to be reminded of that evil evil man. *Shudders*

Okay so no takers. Guess I'll just have to keep trying to entertain myself until the sheer horror of it all forces them to bring the Scoop back, which is going to happen anyway.

Here's my version of what might been this last week's...

DEAR ATHY:

Dear Pimpled Geek,

Sorry but Athy was too busy staring at her sexy bod to read your question. Athy has got to go take a bubble bath and stare at herself some more, without any clothes on. Sweet dreams, Suckxor!

~Athy

Dear Athy,

I’m a blaster with a big dirty gun and I like to shoot it off a lot when I’m alone and looking at your sexy picture in private but I need more privacy to blast of my very large gun while looking at your sexy picture when I am alone. What should I do about the fact that I can’t stop blasting off my hot gun in private when I am alone and looking at your sexy picture? I think I need a good Dominator to help me and my steaming gun that I like to shoot off a lot in private. Can you help me find a new Dominator that is as good looking as your picture, and is you, to control my huge smoking gun that I shoot off so much?

--Didu Getzesexualinnuendo?

Dear Jerk,

Sigh. Athy does not get paid enough for this crap! In fact, Athy doesn't get paid anything for this freaking column! That’s it! Athy quits! Athy is too sexy for this bull****!!!

~Athy

I tried. I really did but I just can’t make it without my weekly fix of the City Scoop. How about we all make our own version and call it the Mock-Scoop? I’ll even get the ball rolling by doing...

Heh, that actually helped. Please feel free to do your own parody of your favorite or least favorite section.

I enjoyed the backgrounder and would also love to see more about the street gangs of Paragon City in general. It seems like there's a lot of material to be mined there. I gather there is a loose coalition of gangs more allied with Arachnos and the Tsoo and then the gangs that have closer ties to the Family/CoT/Council and that the latter group includes the Warriors and the Hellions. Anyway I think it would be really cool to have more info in one place on how the various factions actually relate to each other.

See, everybody whined and cried about the red alerts being annoying, now the new alerts are damn near invisible. Personally I didnt mind the old alerts and wish they back the way they used to be.

Whiners once again win . . . a sad trend indeed.

Indeed, it seems that no matter what the Devs do people give them nothing but grief and they rarely get the credit they deserve for doing the best they can trying to please most of the people most of the time. Now I wonder how many would complain if they moved it to the Friends channel and/or put it in all caps or a different color?

I really like that they changed the default channel for Rikti Invasion broadcast messages to System instead of Admin. It's much easier on the eyes now and still not hard to notice if you are paying attention at all.

Was really happy to see DJ Shecky featured in Encounters. I listen to the Cape radio whenever I'm on Virtue and sometimes even on other servers and it's always a blast.

Another great edition. I really missed the advice column from LiquidX however. Hope that comes back next time as it is often my favorite section.

Having seen the winners' submissions I'm so glad that I didn't enter this contest because you guys are just too good. Congrats to you all. I can't wait to get a look at the honorable mentions.

[ QUOTE ]

I agree with the Best Overall and the Best Story but I really don't agree with the Best Action. The other two had double the action of the one that even won. There was too much blah blah blah and like one page of fighting. I really think they made the wrong choice. I saw like ten others with twice the action and storyline. But thats just how I saw it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can't agree with that. First off, I counted three pages of action and I think the character development of Leveina and how the whole comic book was structured was well done. Was it perfect? Of course not, and I think that the voice over monologue part would really have benefited from some more editing. However, I can definitely see why it won even though I haven't yet read all the other entries, many of which I'm sure were also very good especially considering the time limit put on this contest.
