    Maybe it'll fix the ridiculously over-sized Nightmares. Funny the first time. Daily? Less so.
  2. Yeah... I won't spend cash on a temp weapon with limited charges.

    A cheap permanent shotgun power, maybe.

    Though, a temp shotgun power recipe added among the other temp powers recipes, for free, would be even better.

    Power Weapons...

    Likewise there is Captain Cold and Mister Freeze, both of which have Ice guns. Take them away and they are powerless.

    I've always wanted an actual fire sword where the sword has fire powers and is the primary weapon instead of having to have some not quite what I want power set.

    I don't see the problem that something like this would pose as Blasters are already melee secondary so have weapons that are largely melee but can have ranged powers should be an issue.

    As far as secondaries I think melee secondaries alright for the idea but i'd propose a new style of secondary where they are largely innate that turn on and off based on power usage...something like where the more Brutes attack the stronger they get but instead of "stronger" a secondary power turns on at a given level so to maintain it being on you have to keep going.
    Y'know, thinking about this, I imagine the easiest possible option for this would be to add in weapon in hand animations on the blasting primary. So that you wave the different fire/ice swords when you shoot fire/ice balls. And maybe add some sort of mace/hammer/blunt weapon for the elec secondaries(as well as empty hands for the sake of fairness to the fire/ice secondaries), and add them accordingly to the primaries.

    Yeah, definitely closer than the films have been so far. Simpler armor as opposed to obvious rigid armor too. Definitely better looking, cleaner lines without ignoring the need for body armor.

    It makes as much sense as Megan mooning over Superboy right out the gate.

    Hell, character-wise it makes more sense than Dini-era Zatanna and Batman.
  6. I've macro buttoned costume changes to swap ammo. Granted, I stick with mostly fire.
  7. New? No.

    Though, I am trying to figure out how to get Spring Attack in on my speedster characters.

    Trying out new powerset combinations is still the most fun for me. So what is fun for you guys?
    Seriously, I hit 50 and Incarnate plus out a few characters, and I'm done. Every so often, I'll break the guys out to tear things up, hang with people, but it's largely shelf time.

    From 12 on DOs is good, but 22 and SOs is a noticeable leap in performance.
  10. Super strength, Invulnerability/Willpower and Super Jump would be the big ones to get if I were inclined to make him.

I figured I had, at the very least, 3 toons, that could make use of the boots. Sadly, as a result of the baked in color, they only work for one...
    All the Celestial pieces could use another pass, because of how they, or more specifically don't, take colors properly.

    Did you know the film was originally pitched as a television series?

    I want to say there was a half-mention about Masterminds in one of the Ustreams that made me think that they were working on a set. But, I'd be hardpressed to find which video it was in.

    Manticore or Sister Psyche are the best "drama" options. And seeing as we already have two ghostly female superheroes running around, I'd like to think that they wouldn't kill off another prominent living female hero.

    Also, his dying would give them an opportunity to get her a new costume that wasn't that easily replicable tights w/skin look that she currently has. (and hopefully not Mother Mayhem "inspired", if you know what I mean.)

    And there's nothing that goes really great with them. There needs to be a pair of blocky/sharp-angled armor style Barbarian Iron boots to fill out the boots properly.

    Don't forget that NPCs usually have a smaller number of attacks than players have, as well as the occasional couple of NPC specific/unique attacks.

    The questions to my mind are:

    -Given however many thrusting attacks are in the 'leaked' clip, how many more attacks would Valkyrie really need to fill out her fighting style?

    -Generally speaking, would she need more than 5-7 spear attacks?

And if it looks terrible (I'm hopign for a one fisted pound to the ground as the character lands) I'm not to sure I want it.
    That is the landing animation. There's even a texture crater where you land.

    http://twitter.com/#!/TrailerTheDog Not sure if this is an official twitter account, but... The dog might be okay, assuming the tweets are from the people making the show. Considering the official Warehouse 13 twitter follows it, I'm thinking maybe.

    Yep, didn't they also link Claudia being the next in line to take over for caretaker for the Warehouse?

    I see it going one of a number of ways.

    1. Warehouse coming back after Artie/McPherson's pocketwatch, revives Fredericks.
    2. Warehouse coming back after pocketwatch, but doesn't revive Fredericks. So, maybe with Lena pleading her case, Claudia uses the metronome to bring her back.
    3. Warehouse back due to pocketwatch, and everybody lives.
    4. Warehosue back due to pocketwatch, Fredericks dead, but Claudia saves Jinks instead, and Claudia becomes the new caretaker.

    What about HG? Well...
  25. Are we two seasons behind instead of just one season that we had before the Nickelodeon handoff?

    If so, I could see them skipping pirates entirely.
