    Love the design. Is the character Canardian?
  2. Even without alcohol abuse, I think following these rules may result in death by overhydration.

    He got cut off by some random HR person and then Zwill chiming in about his stupid lunch. So, perhaps the most interesting part of the entire Coffee Talk got ruined by some mention of a sandwhich I have never even heard of before.

    Synapse never got back on track after that tangent.
    Darn that Lumpy Space Zwillinger, it's always ruining things with its lumpiness and sandwich obsessions.

    I second this. It's a good word.
  5. I'd be more interested in getting Ninjitsu for Tankers, personally.

    When I see terrible art on Deviant Art I tend to ignore it rather than criticize it. Unless the artist has it marked for constructive criticism, in which case I will try to find something to praise before trying to gently point out flaws.

    I'm a little more openly critical about so-called professional art that I'm potentially meant to pay for. The two artists in that vein that I think I've been most critical of over the years are Rob Liefeld and Larry Elmore. But it's certainly true that Liefeld wouldn't have as many haters if he was just some guy on Deviant Art - less public exposure would necessarily mean fewer haters. However, there's a chance that he'd still have become the memescot for bad art.
  7. I'm tentatively looking forward to it.
  8. I generally like the new appearance of the Skulls. Much of their clothing looks generally like stuff you can get from military surplus stores to me - not what I would call "fashionable" regardless of what costume packs some of the pieces may hail from. Their ethnicity is immaterial to me - if they add more variance before it hits live but maintain the general "upgraded" appearance, I won't complain.
  9. The closest to feeling "epic" I've ever been in this game was the first time I activated Force Bubble. Beyond that I generally feel like I'm playing characters that are underwhelmingly weak.
  10. I may be misremembering, but I believe it's been flat out stated that we can't have more than two colours for any given selection.

    Leg details could open up some options, but I think there's a technical limitation there having to do with the limited number of attachment points or something.

    Basically, I would love to see either option implemented if they are possible.
  11. Personally, I'd simply like something along the lines of Ninja Run that can be slotted.

    More likely a portmandeux or portmantrois.

    Form, schmorm - portmanteaus are where it's at.
  14. I'm going to assume that the "list" isn't presented in a nice, consolidated list format, but rather as some multi-page and likely gallery-slideshow-esque irritation. And thus I won't bother clicking it.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was missing gems like Farscape and Brisco County Jr., either, given that by accounts in this thread it seems to be missing the likes of Babylon 5 (not a show I cared for, personally, but certainly worthy of being on such a list). Between that and the probable format, it's likely not a worthwhile list.

    Obviously. Women are sheroic.
  16. The only thing that might surprise me in this game is a SI/Dark MM. But no one expects one of those.

    I'd call it worthless, unless maybe I could stack at least five of them.
  18. I have to side with the folks saying that Marauder's grin is creepy. Almost on par with fake-happy-nuclear-family creepiness.

  19. I occasionally plan builds in Mids, but I've never been entirely successful in implementing one. Indeed, the only character I ever came close on was a "Toggle-Man" type build, who I believe only ended up missing out on some specific +Reg/+Rec IOs. That character was only barely playable up to 50, and I haven't been able to get Incarnate abilities for him (many of which he can't use anyway). The few times I've tried to work on a build since then, I've found that the IOs I wanted were either practically non-existent on the Market or else well beyond my budget.

    Is there any situation in which Mako is unlikely to take offense?

    Yes, it does. Comic book fights in general often involve knocking people back, and the blasting therein is no exception.

    I haven't seriously played redside in a long time, and I don't recall if I ever did a TF over there (not counting the Respec, which was a horrible experience).

    I can tolerate the occasional Hess, but the last mission leaves me so disgusted with the entire thing that I can't say I really *want* to do it again. I occasionally let myself get wrangled into doing it.

    I dislike the Katie TF. I'm not a fan of the Croatoan enemies (as far as fighting them goes) and maps (particularly the outdoor maps), and I really don't like the final fight.

    But now that I think about it, there was a TF I did that I found amusing. I don't recall who gave it out, but I believe you fight a whole bunch of Arachnos AVs and a giant spider mech at the end. I liked the mech. If the Hess TF culminated in the giant mech fight that it keeps hinting at, I'd probably like that TF.
  23. He often finds he has ten bullets and needs a place to put them.
  24. I've never done a TF that left me wanting to do it a second time. Indeed, I'm usually left feeling like I never want to do it again.

    Something made with a circular saw might be more appropriate for an Axe.
