In the tradition of Weird Al, and of course this would use the same music as Monster Mash if this ever became a song, I present to you the following bit of weird humor: I was working in the server lab late one night when my eyes beheld an eerie sight! For the mapserver on its rack began to rise.....and suddenly to my surprise......! "IT DID THE MAPSERVER CRASH!" He did the Mapserver Crash! "The Mapserver Crash" It was a network smash! "He did the Mapserver Crash!" It caught on like Adobe Flash! "He did the Mapserver crash!" He did the Mapserver Crash! In my server laboratory in the east on the servers where the virals feast! The glitches and bugs came from their server nodes to get a jolt from my electrodes! They did the Mapserver Crash! "THE MAPSERVER CRASH!" It was a network smash! "They did the Mapserver Crash!" It caught on like Adobe Flash! "They did the Mapserver crash!" They did the Mapserver Crash! The xp farmers were having fun The event had just begun The guests included Soundwave and Megatron! The scene was rocking and all were enjoying the bytes of sound! Igor unchained his baying hounds! The XP farmers had arrived with their support group, the VOLTOR TWENTY FIVE! They did the Mapserver Crash! "THE MAPSERVER CRASH!" It was a network smash! "THE MAPSERVER CRASH!" It caught on like Adobe Flash! "They did the Mapserver crash!" They did the Mapserver Crash! Seems Megatron was troubled by just one thing He transformed and shook his fist and said "Whatever happened to my Cybertronian Twist?" It's now the Mapserver Crash! "THE MAPSERVER CRASH!" It was a network smash! "THE MAPSERVER CRASH!" It caught on like Adobe Flash! "They did the Mapserver crash!" It's now the Mapserver Crash! Now everthing's cool, Megatron is part of the band and the Mapserver Crash is the hit of the land! For the XP farmers that this event was meant too, tell them HOMECOMING sent you! Then you can do the Mapserver Crash! "THE MAPSERVER CRASH!" It was a network smash! "THE MAPSERVER CRASH!" It caught on like Adobe Flash! "Then you can do the Mapserver crash!" Then you can do the Mapserver Crash! Mapserver crash good! Easy, IGOR!

Looking down the road..... TRON: Ares
Voltor replied to Techwright's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Flynn's abilities in TRON seemed to be more from being a User that was also a computer tech with training in science. He knew a beam of energy could be deflected per the laws of science and he was able to absorb energy when he was drinking from that energy river that they found. So he could absorb the energy of that beam from the MCP and channeled it through him to make the bridge for the solar sailer. He did not have the knowledge or power to save RAM, and RAM's demise gave him extra motivation to help TRON. He did seem to absorb the red energy of that guard he punched and later when TRON found him he shifted back to blue. However when a program swears loyalty to the MCP, they get turned red. What made this unique was that Flynn could do it on his own, likely his being held by the arm by TRON let him tap some blue energy to make the change. in TRON Legacy, Flynn built the Grid, the buildings and the programs. So he would basically have root/admin access like when he accessed the controls in the falling elevator, and when he tried to reprogram that guard, and humorously whacked it in the head to get it to comply with his orders. He now had the knowledge and power to help injured programs and thus could save Quorra. However he seemed to also be able to exert his will and slow down and freeze programs for when they raided the bar and saved Sam. CLU2 us a user/program hybrid AI. He can repurpose or destroy programs, but as an AI with Flynn's knowledge up to his time of creation he wouldn't necessarily have Flynn's other talents or perhaps the understanding on how to use them. Also he seemed unable to adapt and learn to new situations such as the arrival of the ISOs. He thought they were imperfections and thus threats to the Grid. His mandate was to create the perfect system and he sought to do that. We later learn in the awesome TRON UPRISING Cartoon, that CLU2's attack on TRON and Flynn was more to get TRON out of the way so that he could do his ISO purge. There are rumors that had Season 2 of Uprising happened(Disney you really screwed up by cancelling this show!), it would have been revealed that TRON being from the original Grid was going to play a factor in the plot. Also that TRON may not have been freed by Beck from the repurposing chamber in time..... CLU2 knew of TRON's capabilities since he was FLynn in a way, but since CLU2 had the ability to destroy programs and being a user/program hybrid, that likely already put him on par with TRON, and all the troops that TRON destroyed in that attack was meant to wear him down so CLU2 could take him. At the end of Legacy, TRON's mind was returning and he was caught by surprise by CLU2 and sent to the sea where he would completely reboot and turn blue again. -

Also the concept of programs getting into our world........I am now flashing back to the heavily inspired by TRON tv series AUTOMAN Perhaps ARES goes on a rampage and TRON is brought in to stop him? One can only hope -

Well Flynn comes from another world into the Grid so his senses would be altered. Strictly speaking though in TRON, he WAS composed of energy and had to drink energy to recharge himself along with RAM and TRON. As such he could divert that beam of energy from the MCP, and also absorb energy from that guard of Sark and turn red, then later shift back to blue. Something that I don't think TRON realized could be done as we would later see that in TRON Uprising and later with TRON becoming Rinzler. Yet LEGACY seems to indicate it is a different dimension that they are sent to, but still as flesh and blood given that Sam did BLEED after being cut by Rinzler in the games. If he was energy, should he not have energy sparking from that cut? Also he is eating would looks like real food with his Dad, which would mean that FLynn has a garden? Thus the premise of programs getting into our world becomes more possible if it is a dimensional shift rather then matter/energy conversion. -

That was Dumont talking to Dillinger about the spirit carrying over. As to the programs, well TRON seems to convey the impression that nearly all the programs are AI and CAN think for themselves but they still have loyalty to their user. MCP, Sark and their army all began to think for themselves and began to disbelieve and disregard the users. TRON however while he does think for himself is dedicated to his user and then later FLynn and is a warrior program designed to secure and protect the Grid. -

It was a bonus scene, the voice Dillinger Jr was speaking to was the voice of the MCP or maybe it was the voice of Sr. through a synthesizer, but it is more likely a new version of the MCP. Dumont stated the MCP was once a chess program. Then Dillinger augmented it considerably. As to it stating that "no one user wrote me" that could be its ego talking. Dillinger is the likely creator and sole creator of the MCP. As to MCP blackmailing Dillinger, well Dillinger like many other creators of AI in fiction never seem to consider the possibility of their creation evolving too far and too fast and thus no safeguards are programmed in. Dillinger could easily have brought a powered electro magnet into the MCP server room and ended the problem but the MCP was crucial to ENCOM at the time., so he was stuck. TRON LEGACY: Flynn's own confidence and pride blinded him to CLU2 building things up to go renegade. No safeguards are in CLU2 to keep him loyal. Plus what FLynn did was take the old CLU code, modify it and then use it and himself as a template to xerox himself to make CLU2. CLU2 is a user/program hybrid AI. He thinks similarly to Flynn and they can anticipate each other's moves most of the time. But CLU2 is still a unique program and thus cannot fully comprehend emotions and was inflexible in his thinking and couldn't evolve himself and thus thought ISOs were a threat. -

I've read conflicting reports for some time whether this is a reboot or a sequel to Legacy. Legacy left some unanswered questions which I doubt this movie will deal with. 1. Can Quora live in our world? 2. Looked like Sam downloaded the Grid to a usb drive that he keeps with him, does this mean the Grid is truly shut down? 3. What is TRON's status 4. What of the digitization tech? 5. there is a bonus scene on the blu ray of Sam taking control of Encom and of Dillinger Jr talking to the MCP..... 6. Flynn was the source/epicenter of the blast at the end that destroyed Clu's carrier......is he really dead? -

Avengers: Doomsday - Full Cast Announcement
Voltor replied to ZacKing's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Doom and Richards met in college, Doom was seeking a way to contact the netherworld in an effort to free his mother's spirit from Mephisto. Reed saw Doom's notes and warned there were some errors in his calculations. Doom didn't listen and the device which had a visor over his face exploded and some minor scarring of his face happened. It was when he later had his armor forged that he ordered his mask to be placed upon him.......even though it was fresh out of the forge and had NOT COOLED off. That is what messed up his face so badly. -

There were issues of the FF comic that showed Doom's origin and that the scar from the initial accident wasn't that bad. It was when he later had his armor forged that he ordered his mask to be placed upon him.......even though it was fresh out of the forge and had NOT COOLED off. That is what messed up his face so badly. -
Try story arc #40418 be sure to have an open slot or 2 in your inspiration tray and play it in architect rewards/ticket mode for the Energized badge. That badge doesn't seem to award in regular mode like it did on live. After that you will need to get the Test Mode badges, and also Among Friends badge

Invincible Season 3 has begun! SPOILERS
Voltor replied to Voltor's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
So in City of Heroes power terminology, having rewatched Season 1 thru 3 a few times, especially the Season 1 and 3 finale fights, I would say that in the game a Viltrumite would be in terms of AT and powers: 1. Brute (they can be injured and bleed profusely so NOT a tank) 2. Super Strength with perma charged RAGE on auto fire 3. Easily maxed up Fury bar 4. WILLPOWER for their secondary. They are not immune to all damage but they also regenerate from extreme injuries. Invincible was beaten to a pulp by his own father in season 1 and survived. Maxed up heal, health and regeneration 5. Alpha slot is either Vigor Core or Resilient Radial 6. Judgement is the MIGHTY judgement. They have yet to really be shown hurling fireballs or lightning but MIGHTY suits them 7. Interface: players choice 8. Destiny: T4 Rebirth Radial or T4 Ageless Core, either one fits for a Viltrumite 9. Hybrid: T4 Either Assault for more damage or Melee to boost regeneration Obviously I am not saying we make copy cat costumes and names for characters I am simply speaking in terms of their powers. 🙂 Opinions?
