    The problem with the LFG system is that it allows people to use it who are not, in fact, LFG. Undoubtedly an unfortunate necessity of tying the iTrials to it.

    If the only way to get on a team is to form one, I'd say it certainly is difficult.

    I personally like the description of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's Marketing Department as a baseline for Evil Marketing: "A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes."

    If I'm looking to purchase it, "now" is when it needs to be purchased. If I bid for it and then log off, it doesn't matter if I have one when I log back on to that character weeks/months later because I likely won't remember what I wanted to do with it.

    Edit:
    Missing = EAT, VEAT, SHOE
    Hrm. First time I've seen SHOE.
  5. Ever since Fitness became inherent, there is no particular Power Pool I consistently use.

    I often pick up travel powers, but I don't consistently choose a particular travel pool.

    I'll consistently pick up the Fighting pool - but only on Willpower characters. I pretty consistently avoid it on everything else.

    I've taken every other power pool at least once.

    I guess I shouldn't have assumed that a new avatar was, in fact, new.

    On the other hand, the Joker from the second movie looked horrible but I ultimately found it enjoyable. So, while I'm not exactly hopeful, I plan on seeing the movie despite the fact that thus far Catwoman and Bane haven't looked very good. Perhaps the performances and such will transcend the abhorrent aesthetics again.
  8. Z_M's version looks good.

    I dislike the new version of the costume in the comics. The red belt helps a bit, but it's no substitute for the red briefs and yellow belt.

    I think a better idea would be to consolidate the meaninglessly diverse salvage into, at most, six different pieces of salvage (Common Magic/Tech, Uncommon Magic/Tech, and Rare Magic/Tech).

    Especially not. I probably wouldn't even have mentioned it if not for that sentence. I see a lot of "could of", "would of", and "should of" errors that I pass by with just a slight wince and move on (many of them in the works of George R. R. Martin, a professional writer who should know better). And I undoubtedly make grammatical errors of my own. But that "to of been" was just too much. I began wondering things like:

    "Does that person of a high school education?"
    "Of they even been to school at all?"
    "Will their wedding vows be 'to of and to hold'?"

    Something broke inside my brain. Then my left eye began twitching and I wanted to bludgeon something with a homophone.
  11. That would've been awesome.

    In other news, "of" is not a verb.
  12. Like your new avatar. Reminds me of one of my favourite AMVs, the name of which (as I recall it) would be censored on the message boards.

    I haven't noticed the running with Titan Weapons looking awkward. I'll have to pay closer attention next time I'm playing my TW character.
  14. Given the choice, I'd go with a WP/StJ Tanker. I ultimately find Brutes and Scrappers too squishy for my tastes (it's rare that I slot any IO sets), and if I'm going to be a squishy melee character I tend to prefer Stalkers.

    I typically play blue side on Virtue and it's been a couple of years since I experienced invites raining down from the sky. Not even during double experience weekends.

    I remember attending it and being greatly annoyed to have a surprise PVP event thrust upon me.

    I also remember /em slap-ing Statesman.

    As someone who's dealt with the issue numerous times with new video games that are held for a street date, I'd say that the fact that the practice isn't strange doesn't make it any less hateful.

  21. That's some serious... dedication... yes, "dedication" is the word I will use. You are very dedicated.

    Probably. When I faced him, the first thing he did was scream like a girl and throw a horde of henchmen at me.

    Relative to Recluse, yes. But so are guys like Paste Pot Pete and #1 Fan, so that ain't saying much.

    His friends were all laughing at him, and he was laughing because it tickled. That's just how Recluse is. He knows it. He'll never deny that he's got lots of doe.
