ok, short, to the point answer, i see them as a precision strike. my stalkers are a db(yes, i am a glutton for punishment) and a claws user, so thematically, both of their strikes seem to be jabbing the most vulnerable bits in a manner that they would have defended against if they saw you.

i was working on a soldering, but the area between two conductors i was working on was abridged.

ok, one thought i had, and i havent followed the letters too closely, but its possible. is the letter writer is mender remiel. When he gives his big monologue about the well he seems to be far more knowledgeable and mroe intense about the well than silos seems to care about. there definitly appears to be friction between the two of them, and perhaps he, upon gazing into the true nature of the well that we dont even know yet, has some major epiphany and wants to solve things radically his own way, fearing that silos's way is directionless. also, as fairly minor evidence, he does say that you may have just met him seconds ago right after the past two people you meet are silos or himself(or a off chance that its actually the minotaur, and someone in paragon studios is really dropping acid while watching david lynch movies) remiel doesnt seem to be one of the more active menders in the group before future you seemed to charge him with purpose, so it could be possible.

in the right mood, alestorm's "the quest" and "leviathan"
offspring "no brakes" "americana" "all i want" or "the kids aren't alright"
bad religion pretty much all of "the gray race" "stranger than fiction" and " generator"
streetlight manifesto "one foot on the gas, the other one in the grave" "what a wicked gang are we" and "on and on"
tonight, for some reason was enya's "china roses" and "flora's secret" i was feeling mellow :P

frankly, given the quality of the anims in kin melee and sj, it might behoove them to finally give MA an animation once-over. if they thought the cot were dated and ugly, the kicks of martial arts really look bad. better chambering of the kicks, better upper body position to look less awkward and off balance on the roundhouse and side-kick, it really is overdue, a few new punches were appreciated, but the root cause needs addressed.

i may reroll my mostly unplayed dark melee/wp brute maggie nettles. street justice would work for her.

other than that, its more new concepts than remakes of existing ones. the presence of a steampunk beam rifle plus time manip means that a new steampunk char is in the works.

yeah i do have to add, i totally want those lower body elements, the longer side sashes on the death mage and the front cloth, those would be amazing if they can be scaled right for players.

quick reply, i LIKE this twist, turns tyrant from a generic..well..tyrant and into a conflicted man who had to compromise himself for what he thinks is the greater good. that is far more interesting than a genric power corrupts fable. as for the lack of bright spots in the story, I disagree with that, i think it sets it up for us to be the bright spots, to succeed where tyrant failed and make peace without authoritarianism. we see the failure of the existing system and the stalemate of the power, but we can be the difference that breaks the stalemate.

also, if i may villains advocate here, how long have reds been dragged along on content that seemed awfully heroic for the greater good? some morally difficult stuff for heroes to do is really not unfair at this point, is it?

reminds me a bit of the anime giant robo, and i loved that ending.

much better, still a tad bright, but very much better.

7 pm eastern...and i work nights, bother...ah well,s till good news, ill just get really really caffed up at work and then can do a late night exploring the content. looking forward to it, even if it will initially be played through twitching, bloodshot eyes.(those who know me will likely be wondering what the difference will be exactly)

it is? dang. I assumed it was sped up too.

i love ec, but the guy sometimes is too idealistic for hi own good.

as for tenzi's complaint, I think the distinction he is trying to make is selling items with capacities outside of what you can ever achieve playing the game. say, an item that gives you 5% more damage over and above what you can get by doing all the ingame tasks. leveling, while slightly slower, is something that wont give you a mechanical advantage over other players. everyone gets there, just slower, so its a difference between a convenience and a mathematical disparity. now your personal preferences could be that leveling speed is important enough to be considered power, but i think the distinction is that you wont be any more powerful getting to max level in 3 weeks than i will in 3 months, it will simply be more convenient for you.

an argument could be made, of course, that you could run 3 alts up in that time and build up a stable of characters that would be more reactive to situations than mine, and raid at high level sooner and thus will have access to high tier stuff longer than i, and im not arguing that, just a basic distinction, and frankly, i dont really agree with him even on that level, power is tricky to define. unslotters are a convenience, but if i dont have to juggle io's with limited enhance space in a full respec or destroy old sets that i can then tos to alts, then that certainly is a form of power for sale, but I dont see it fitting his math definition.

so she ran the Sinestro corps?

hmm interesting wording. good find. It has been suggested that the cs may be a few things. the shivans are strongly hinted at being part of it, thanks to mender lazarus' meet up mission, the battalion(the aliens who modified the rikti) have also been suggested. but hey, more use of the shard would be fine by me.

I blame baldrick.

I honestly havent seen that game, i dunno, if it gets me the master sword and a green chainmail tunic, id gladly watch a commercial for a game i already preordered, but i'd have to see how it was carried out. the last time they did commercials, i didnt mind them, but they really didnt seem to be properly targeted at a mmo about superheroes.

not to get into any of the rest of the discussion, but pretty happy about the costume slot news. i was operating under the assumption that they would be 10 each of 50 for the set, which would be a bit steep for just more costume slots, but 20 for the 5? thats a launch day buy.
