Night-Hawk07

Knight'Hawk is actually supposed to be me if I were to live in a universe where we had superheroes. I actually started writing a little story for him not long before I started playing CoH, and the character I imagined, on the outside, would be somewhat inspired by Batman. I've started to realize that on a personal level, I'm not all the different from Spider-man. By day, I'm just an average dude, real shy and quiet, extremely nerdy, kinda clumsy, not really gifted in any one thing (except science maybe). By night (or rather by the time I get online or somewhere I'm really comfortable), I'm funny with a really bad use of puns, sarcasm, irony, and one-liners; gifted in crime fighting, use of the Force, saving the universe from Borg, Reapers, or zombies, or I'm a superstar racecar driver depending on my mood. So, there's a lot of Spider-man influence in Knight'Hawk's personality, cause I think my own personality is heavily influenced by my favorite superhero from when I was a kid (does that make me crazy or something...? ).

The name Knight'Hawk came about because "Nighthawk" was already taken....

Seriously though, in my backstory, he's Nighthawk cause 1) my lack of creativity struck and decided to name him after my favorite TV dinner and 2) I've always been a fan of the various stealth aircraft used by the USAF; specifically the F-117 Nighthawk.

That's one thing I've always loved about this game was that I don't have to "try" to RP. There is no OOC speak for me, because Knight'Hawk "is me". Other games I have to get into character, here (or CO or DCUO) I am in-character just by hitting "Log In". What puts CoH over the other two is that one of them is pretty well closed off as far as how far you can take your character's story and it's more like a vacation for me/him, the other is just really, really, corny. CoH has always seemed to take itself more seriously and it's always seemed more "believable" (sorry for the quick compare-and-contrast, but it's sorta part of the ever-continuing story for my character). That's something I hope doesn't change in this "new era of Freedom."

I hope that reads a lot better than it looks like it will. If not, sorry. It's 2 AM here, so I'll clean it up later if need be.

Eh... I miss this:

That's unfortunate. I thought he captured the spirit of Uncle Ben perfectly. I know the pics in the article aren't that recent (the posters look like Spider-man 2, so 2005ish?), but still he didn't look all that bad for a guy in his 80s.

RIP

My first toon, is my current main: Knight'Hawk. I don't focus on best builds, combos and all that; I had an idea for a hero in mind, and a MA/SR Scrapper fit the bill.

I just saw the Dracula movie last night. Not bad, I'm guessing it takes place between Seasons 1 and 3 somewhere. I noticed a couple of parallels to Mask of the Phantasm (not sure if that was intentional or what), but it was pretty good.

Hope this hasn't been posted already, just kinda skimmed the last two pages. Scientists have apparently discovered that thunderstorms actually create anti-matter.

Well you had to figure The Cape was gone. It's gotten better, but I never really expected it to last that long anyway. It might have had a better chance on Syfy. Not surprised L&O: LA is on the chopping block either. And honestly, it's hard for a show to keep viewers on CBS cause THEY KEEP FRAKKIN CHANGING WHEN THEY AIR!!!! Personally, I love $#*! My Dad Says. I have a feeling that's how I'm going to be in my 70s, so it's like seeing my future self. They also failed to mention that apparently, Two and a Half Men is done, due to Charlie Sheen....well, being Charlie Sheen (though I'm pretty sure that's not going to be a permanent deal).

I'm glad to see Southland isn't on that list though. That is an awesome show.

My post in the Firefly thread reminded me of this. Thanks to the awesome service that is Netflix, I finally got around to watching The Batman in its entirety. Overall, I thought it was a pretty decent show. I liked the first two seasons a lot more than the last three; although I did like this take on Dick as Robin. For a while I thought Yin was going to become a bit of a love interest for Bruce, possibly even become Batwoman.

I wasn't real impressed with a lot of the villain make-overs though. The Riddler and Scarface being the top two that come to mind, and the Penguin got rather annoying. Then there's the fact that there's no Two-Face, Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, or Ra's al Ghul, but a bunch of "made-up" guys like Ragdoll (my guess is he's supposed to be a more "PC" Scarecrow) and the Cluemaster.

I thought I'd share my thoughts on this series; it's certainly not as epic as TAS was but definitely not as bad as TBATB is. I'm also curious as to other people's opinions on this series.

Frieza: ".... Not to mention I lost Dodoria and Zarbon, the latter of whom spent 400 credits making long-distance calls to his girlfriend; who I am convinced is named 'Chuck'."

XD

I have a friend that's going to love this news (assuming she gets the Science Channel). I finally saw the whole series sometime last year.

I hate FOX now.

Hmm....I really don't know. As an animated character, I could see Will Friedle (Batman Beyond, as mentioned before) doing the voice work for Knight'Hawk (since he was loosely based on Terry, to begin with). Considering Knight'Hawk's age, at least when he first started, Loren Lester (Robin/Nightwing in Batman TAS) would also work.

I agree, this was a really good episode. At least he finally kept his freaking mask/hood on.

EDIT: Wow. Soon as I hit the "post" button, the forum logged me out....
