  1. It's pretty darn good, IMO.

    The methods of accruing them aren't fun, but the Inventions themselves are okay, and some of the Incarnate powers are excellent.

  4. Yep. It happened to me three times from max range fighting the groups between the bridge and Romulus. Mostly I was getting groups of three. A few times I got lucky and pulled one of them. And a couple of times I got brave and popped a purple or two, hit PBU and jumped in to PBAoE sap + Judgement + electric ball thingy + Nuke + run away making Curly woo-woo-woo noises. I mainly did that last because I was getting bored.

    But yeah, the RNG hates me. If I have my Defense monitor up, it's because I can't believe I'm getting hit so much through Defense buffs and I want to make sure there aren't any Debuffs and it is, in fact, that the RNG just hates me.

    Or he was just unlucky. I was pulling them with my Blaster from Boost Range distances and sometimes I'd get one, sometimes I'd get three, and sometimes the whole group would come running. Given that just one of them was potentially dangerous, I had to do a lot of fleeing... often super jumping up mountainsides to get out of range because they'd stay on me across the whole stage otherwise. It was a lengthy, tedious process. And despite all my caution and inspirations I still faceplanted against Romulus' group.

    Wait... Clamor is supposed to fly off at some point? I'm afraid she never got the chance when Penny and I fought her.

    Completely disagree with original Beast.

    Well, the call of the sea *was* pretty strong that day - I may have been looking a bit Innsmouth-y...

    Xanth and Discworld are on the phone. They want to know if you'd like your sense of humour back.

    We're apparently talking about changing things to address complaints and how that might adversely affect your difficulty. The game didn't used to be able to downgrade them from AVs, either, until it got *changed* somewhere along the way.

    Removing EBs via difficulty choice doesn't take away your ability to choose to have them turned on.

    Indeed they did, and I tried one. Unlike the BK one, it was topped with maple syrup instead of caramel. The maple syrup and the ice cream were really good together. The bacon was overpowered to nigh flavourlessness, basically just adding a bit of crunch-chew to the miasma.

    Despite the fact that it was on their menu, I got the strangest looks when I ordered it...

There's a reason why the Inspirations Full light on your toolbar turns red: if it fills up and stays full, you're deliberately playing at a higher difficulty setting. The game is balanced (for most characters) around the assumption you will use your inspirations about as fast as they drop.
    Sometimes they don't drop very fast at all, and when they do drop they're not necessarily a useful type. And that's putting aside the number of times I've gotten floored on a squishy despite a stack of Luck buffs.

    Yeah, at the end of the day, I feel if I have bosses turned off in the difficulty setting I shouldn't be facing any bosses - Elite or otherwise. On my Tanker I was falling asleep fighting those spawns while I tediously chipped through their Hit Poiints.

    On my Blaster I had to do Boost Range pulls from a safe perch, and still died a few times. Nictus Romulus KOd me once despite the purple and orange inspirations I had popped beforehand.

    I loved the theme song. Unfortunately, it got cut to just some of the guitar and a bit of narration for the second season.

    Thus far he has been less obtrusive and less annoying in the series than what I saw of him in the comics.

    I dunno. I thought about seeing if the name Rick Troll was available and making a Troll version of Rick Astley.

    And then I thought about seeing if Ceiling Cat was available and making a simple cat character which I was going to situate in the rafters/pipes of Pocket D and occasionally broadcast that "I am watching you <activity>". I wouldn't have expected to win with that one, it would have been for sheer personal amusement.

    I also considered trying to put together a frog-like character with an Assault Rifle called Rolling Barrel.

    And then there was the tall, slim cat-person with all the dragon-armor bits of the Dynasty set called Long Miao. Fewer people would have got that one, methinks.

    In the end, though, I ended up sleeping through the contest.
  18. According to my memory, it's new to me. Although, I recall when the Ice Warriors and/or Zygons were rumoured to possibly be appearing in a prior season. But then we just ended up with Silurians.

  21. I prefer to solo when there's story involved. But I generally find the experience to be tedious and/or frustrating either because I'm not doing enough damage, taking too much damage, or both.

    It's not a computer at all, but rather a Claymore Fist Mine. And that's not a mouse, but rather a detonator.

    I've not heard about this "Beware the Batman"...

    And I have to admit that I wasn't sorry to see the Spectacular Spider-mole disappear.

    Because in the context of the conversation, the U.S. customers were 'local'. I was replying to Slazenger who was replying to a comment about: 'Paragon, being based in the US, was preferring the "home" players over the "away"'.

    Slazenger compared the issue to a brick-and-mortar store. In that context, the "home" versus "away" becomes analogous to local versus internet/mail-order customers.
