    I just asked my mom.

    I never realized until this day how much I needed a furry bra.

    wait, that was on purpose? I thought it was a formatting problem. What does it mean?
  4. I think it might be a coincidence.

    Well, I never really met many people in game who knew it. I seemed to always run into the people on freedom who never bothered to read the bios.

    That said, it was not a pleasant discovery for me.

    Have they taken it out? I don't remember seeing it mentioned in-game lately.

Is that a problem? No. Superman was the first flying hero, but he's far from the only one these days. Could we make our own, significantly different iceslide in COH? Sure, I think so. I'm sure we could dream up something unique on the concept side, and I'm sure Tunnelrat could bring it to life beautifully in 3D. Could we make an iceslide EXACTLY like Iceman's? Probably, but I'd personally rather come up with a new spin on it.
    I'd like to see a variation with rocks, except as I say that it occurs to me that it would be hard to pretend you're not destroying Paragon's roads.

    Anyway, yeah, it doesn't have the same impact as the original letter but at least a few of ya got to read the director's cut. This community rocks btw.
    Well, I didn't even realize when I was reading that 'pancake' wasn't your original censor word! I mean, it was pretty obvious you wouldn't be affronted at pancake.

    Good story. I remember being helped out on freedom years ago when I first got started, so good memories triggered by this story.

    I didn't cuss at anyone, though.

    Someone doesn't understand how the help channel works.
  12. Congrats! I need to check this arc out!

    Someone posted her concept art on the board a bit back and I remember thinking 'that's actually quite nice', which isn't something I expected to think about little miss-one hit from a mile away.

    Seconding! That's one of the coolest features of the seers, it'd be nice to see it added to Hami.
  14. I have a reason for them all!

    Reichsman! He's fifth column, right? Their ubermensch-thingermadoodles are like, ten feet tall. They must have just given him some too.

    And Battle Maiden? If she comes from a horrible dimension like that, there's a chance she was just malnourished as a child and thus smaller.

    Marauder is tall with RAGE. It's how he scares predators away, sort of like how a pufferfish inflates itself?
  15. Why do I want to spend my money so much? I'm a pathetic monkey to capitalism.

    I'm grasping at straws, okay.
  17. "It's instance-tastic!" <-- that's a major selling feature for me or something about how you feel like you're the star of the game because of how the arcs are written.

    That's true. He's kind of their mascot. Cute little powerless guy.

    Wyvern are anything but adorable...
    That's only if you don't allow yourself to redefine cute as 'oh look, they're murdering people now'

    You know, I'd honestly forgotten about that? I had trouble reading the second series, it just didn't have the same feel as the first one and I was missing Apex/War Witch/Horus too much to really get into it, so all I remember reasonably well beyond emotions is the first few issues. I stand corrected!

    He's still totally my fave, though. and I guess Manticore is kinda fun too because him shooting Statesman in the chest and States' reaction after was pretty funny

    Uh, Statesman?

    His mask bangs him in the face a lot.

    CoH Noob...

    Welcome to the game! The good cash common salvage is the stuff you get in the twenties and thirties.

    Sorry, everyone else had such good advice so I had to think of something on the fly.

    Yeah, I'm confused about the makeup comment. And she's wearing pants... sort of. What she needs is tights with a nicer pattern.

    I think you've successfully pinpointed why I like Mother Mayhem.

    Also, total agree on Swan needing more feathery stuff or at least more stuff to her costume.

    It helped me discover that adblock lets you block a picture only when it's linked on a specific site (under the advanced tab). Which is good, because as pictures go, it was inoffensive and I'd like to see it on DA proper.
