  1. Heh. I tend to just ramble on to anyone willing to listen to me.

    Off topic, but are you a member of the Pride channel? It's public so you wouldn't need to find anyone to invite or anything, and it can be handy (or amusing) at times.
  3. OOoooo, Nice.

    Clamor's always been one of my favorite villains... probably cause of the Machinima version of "The Device Has Been Modified" with her in it.

    Edit: Found it... Linky (lower quality version, but I couldn't find the original)
  4. While I would like this conceptually, I would have to vote against it.

    Damage types are not equal across the game, so it would be a trivial matter to sacrifice mitigation against the very rare types (Cold for instance) to gain a benefit against very common types (Lethal).

    The overall rarity of Cold verses the prevalence of Lethal means that it's very unnlikesly you'd ever even notice that weakness.

    I don't think it's that they "need to be" just that they're "Easier to get."

    Mundane damage types are thematically and realistically easier to get than elemental types.

    A bulletproof vest protects you from bullets(lethal) sure, but it doesn't do much against fire.

    Plate armor helps against maces/swords, but it wont do you a whole hell of a lot of good against lightning.

    Conceptually it simply makes more sense for enemies to have Smashing and Lethal resistance.


    EDIT: This is not at all to say that I'm opposed to lowering the level of Smashing/Lethal resistance of mob in game, because I'm not. Having played a FF/Psi defender to 50 I know how much of a PAIN IN THE *** it is to fight mobs that are highly resistant to your damage type (Damned Robots, Zombies and Carnies!)

    Hey. Cake can be interesting... if it wasn't I wouldn't be addicted to Ace of Cakes

    He's so ADORABLE! I couldn't resist. (Everyone seems to have such awesome, artsy Avatars and I was tired of not having one, but I don't even have any fanart I could make one out of, so I went with the next best thing.)
  7. Happy Birthday Cashoo!

    It might help to know what enemy groups people are fighting in instances like this.

    There are some groups that always have spawned bosses more often (or on lower difficulty) than standard.


    Lost and Banished Pantheon spring immediately to mind.
  9. For today's picks, I'll try El Salvador and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
  10. Pretty sure it is.

    The hats are also male only (with the witch hats being female only), which really sucks cause I really want to make a "turn of the century" era character, and the Renegade hat would allow me to come somewhat close to these.
  11. Bold letters makes me feel like you're yelling at me














  12. Did you want to have a blueside SG for this?

    I can copy Oathy over to test a couple hundred times (ok, maybe not a couple HUNDRED times) and convert his Inf into a bundle of prestige. (Gotta find -something- to do with it right?)


    Edit:
    What IS the inf->prestige echange rate anyhow? It's somethign ludicrous like 1,000,000inf:2,000pres? Could get about 200k per copy.
  13. I shall guess the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea.
  14. Well Phooey, and Congrats to Bubbawheat!

    OKAY... technically that's not true.

    I DO have a few female characters, for when I just dont think I can adapt the idea in my head in a manner that would fit a male character.

    Pixie Lady is my Inv/EM tanker. She opperates on Perma-hover though (Have to do --something-- to justify the 15.5million Inf wings I bought her back when they first came out)... so no annoying run anyhow. (Sadly though I dont care much for Energy Melee so the 15.5m wings are the only thing that keep me from deleting her, on principle.)

    Also have a female Dark/Sonic defender (on Virtue I think) but I rarely leave Guardian.

    Once Going Rogue hits (And I'm eventually able to get it) I'll add to that a female Dual Pistol/Pain Dom Corruptor, who I'll be redeeming to play heroside.
  16. Awesome.

    Echoing everyone else... I love the Ninja MM.

    Yes. Males only here. (Hush Pyro.)

    Female characters in the game always look... well, Fragile. Like if she tries to use knockout blow on someone she's gonna break her wrist. And i hate the way they swing their arms when they run. leftrightleftrightleftright
  18. Oooo, getting fancy with the transparent background.

    Prettymuch this, exactly.
