May you all revel in the festival of Saturnalia Ut fructus vester sit tantamque copiam I thought that was a joke but it really does that lol. It may still be humor on the part of the guy in charge of Google Translate. Upset that his crush is married or she had a terrible wedding or some such.

Merry Me-mas and a special thanks to the Devs, the community and everyone who helps make this game the joy that it is.

I did not mean for that to sound critical in any way, just noticing an oddity. Removed the reference, left the thanks, that was the important bit. Merry Me-mas @Healix and thanks for all your contributions. The forums are a better place with people like you here. So glad you approve @QueenBethari. I'm curious, is she supposed to have human bits (fingers and toes) or froggy bits? I was guessing. Also does she have a backstory for how she became sentient?

Thanks Flash.

For those who have not yet experienced the Floor-gasm, here you go. You're welcome.

@QueenBethariI left you a little something in my artz thread to show my appreciation, click the thumbnail to see it large.

The eyes are, almost without exception, the first thing that I draw and often an area of focus. Windows of the soul and all that. Thank you kindly Healix. Oh also, though this is my busy season and I don't have a whole lot of consecutive spare time for drawing, playing the game or posting as often I'd like, while I am yet awaiting Barbarette's refs I found myself with a half hour free while running Memtest86 today and thought I would try a quick sketch. Here then is Queen Bethari's Plague of Frogs themed character Pollywog. I wasn't really too sure how much of her is human and how much is ranine so I decided to ribb-it and go all in on her froggy-er aspects. Hopefully that decision didn't bog me down too much. About 8 minutes of of drawing 15 minutes of crosshatching and 2-3 minutes of finger smudging. Ref pic here. Merry Me-Mas QB and thanks for all the likes, comments, costumes and written content you are creating for our enjoyment. So glad you are here.

You know, I've probably left a dozen or so obscure pop-culture references strewn about in the various threads of "the New 62."™ You may actually be the first to acknowledge "getting" one of them. /e hats off to you QB. P.S. The New 62 is what I just decided I will be calling the artz section of the forums since that is its numeric designation and the people who put it up didn't take my suggestion of naming it with some variant of the old 606 for nostalgia's sake. Hey something similar worked for DC I hear.

I'll see myself down... under?

As of yet, there is not. Technically anything in the Costume Creator is a costume piece but if you think there should be a separate area for weapons and the like by all means start a thread.

"That" as in you did artz contests for your SG or you made hilarious captions for some pics and posted them? Either way I wouldn't mind seeing "them" if you have any laying around.

I lol'd at the Hydra one. Welcome to the best part of the forums Jawbreaker. I guess I was doing a similar thing back on live long before Memes were a thing. Back in far away long forgotten times (like 2005) I would take images and sometimes put funny captions to them. I even had contests where I would put up a funny CoH image and whomever came up with the funniest caption got a sketch of their hero. Don't know if I saved any of them or not.

Heya Microc and welcome to the best part of the forums. As for your request, you could try asking over in this thread and maybe one of the costume whizzes over there could help point you in the right direction.

Once my music catalog was vast and varied, then came K-pop (Blackpink in particular). Just me?

This. I am honestly surprised this thread isn't titled "Flight! Is there really any other viable travel power?" Then amidst a chorus of "Of course not" and "Fly is the best!" I would make a thoughtful case for why Ninja Run is also pretty cool.

Oook Ook! "Oh no... RUN!!!!" smash SMASH SMASH nuuuuuuoooo SMASH BANG POW SMASH "OWWWwwww Whyyyyy!" SMASH SMASH B-B-B-BASH BASH CRASH!!!! "So! Many! Boulders! waaaaahhhh aaaaand team wipe!" ... ... SMASH! FU Igneous! ...hey guys I think I'm out of range, Imma use a wakie... NO WAIT one of them is coming back! Oook! waaaaaaaaaaaah! --------------------------- Something like that? I do concur though that just making it to a mission in Eastgate Heights in one piece was cause for celebration. A good gulch runner was a real asset for any team. Put that in your outgoing LFT note and you were sure to get an invite. Plus it made us appreciate the Taxibots.

Alternatively Mare, Oceanum, Amnis, Tenebris and Fossa for Sea, Ocean, Current, Darkness and Trench respectively. Also in the place of Vox you could try Sonos, Radior, and Profluo for Sounds, Emanations and Flux. Mare calls to mind horses but could also be dreams as in Nightmare so maybe Voxmare? I also like Radior Fossa, (emanation of the trenches), Sonos Sub Amnis (sounds under the currents) and Vox Tenebris (a voice in the darkness) as well. I edited out the bit about the clipping because it's not your doing and there is no ready fix (short of modding).

Hmm. If it is all done in Portable Network Graphics format with clear backgrounds those shouldn't happen. If I had to guess, total shot in the dark though as I cannot observe your workflow, I would think they are remnants from other icons. Like if you at some point in your process cut out or remove Martial Combat from the above post but didn't quite get all of it and then without starting from scratch or wiping the template clean you made the next icon and the bits left over are now overlaid onto the new icon. Lending more credence to that notion I just noticed while typing this that in the post above in addition to the 3, 6, 9 and 12 positions on a clock face the Devices icon has white encroachment at the 5 and 7 like a four corners icon (i.e. your avatar) does. Is it possible the template you use has remnants from previous icons?

Oh I'm not worried about people with delicate sensibilities. If you try to speak honestly and directly you are bound to offend somebody on the internet these days. Some parents do let their kids wander about the art forums to see the art and costumes though. Subtle references might go above their heads but explicit storytelling leaves little to the imagination.

All caught up, nice art work (I too was reminded of Bratz) and compelling story so far. I am wondering if the Black & White sequence was just a dream or possible foreshadowing. Also a message of hope from the future to Mari and anyone else suffering through the dark times, circa 1996 (IIRC when those movies on the posters came out ), fear not... "Flockbuster's" dominance of the market is short-lived and ends with much insult, injury and one of the most boneheaded business decisions in history when the CEO flat out refused an offer to buy out a then fledgling "movies in the mail" company called Netflix for the paltry sum of $50 Million.

@QueenBethari My internet is working fine and I can access every other site normally but I do have a bit more security than the average bear. Scripts, tracking cookies, adds, auto redirects and the like are automatically prevented from running, deleted or blocked unless I give specific permission. @Dudesoft Oh yep that was it. The hook/masked url was being blocked by default as they do not always take you where they are supposed to. The direct link works fine. Thanks

Oof. Good stories @kallistiuk but with references to rape, murder and baby sacrifices you may want to put some of those pages into spoiler boxes and post a heads up in the OP to keep youthful curious eyes from reading too far in.

Heya Dudesoft and welcome to best part of the forums! I'll definitely go check out the comic when I get a break. Edit: That link appears to be broken. It times out regardless of what browser I use.

Nice concept and look Virtual Green. How about Vox Altum or Voice of the Abyss/Deep in the Latin? P.S. Love the DIO reference @Zemius

Fabric game is strong.
