So, these IP/Talos contacts LOVE to give me temps. Right now I have: That's right--SANDS OF MUUUUUUUUU! Oh, you long lost friend! (but can we even use these in ''04 mode? And do I care if I'm not supposed to? [no, I do not...]_:-)* *But really, what's the story on these things?

Just eat your green beans, OP. Then you can go out and play.

I'll have to check this one. I used a scenario in my Mobius arcs (see sig) wherein Battalion came, conquered, and, through a desperate act, was imprisoned in a "time loop." Unfortunately, the loop had consequences that were worse. I was toying with the idea that, once the "bigger" threat was ended, they might be freed again. Of course, now I need more arc slots.:-/ Thanks for the work, and keep it up! I'll jump on sometime and check it out, maybe as an "under the radar review." Cheers, C

Sometimes the answer is right in front of you...

We need more votes!

We're up and levellin' folks! Valkyrie's better side:-) (btw, ain't NO one getting us confused in a police lineup--check out them colors!):-)

Blue and I is runnin' right now, folks!

Early morning run with Craney. Tried to farm some Raiders again in TV. Got my arse handed to me. If only I had... an angel on my shoulder? (Went SJing back to tram and happened to land here. Honestly didn't know this was here.)

Like 9 out of 10 times. Maybe because I'm running full-on redside. Anyway, I got tired of that, so: Say hello to my little friends... But, seriously--I never had so many naughty results. I feel like somebody be up to sumpin'.

Okay, I'm all in for "We have a few issues," if and when it kicks off. Tutorial and level 3. Sam Meanwell is off to hit snake holes (eventually).:-) Yeah, that's my ride. Nah, Recluse don't mind if I borrow it.

Woot! Lvl 24. Now maybe I can go to TV and finish off that Raider culling mish (we'll not speak of what happened the first time I tried). I am a GOD! (or not...yet...)

Bunkered myself in the writing shed for a few days and knocked this out. If you've played the whole thing, I am hoping it will be a satisfying capstone. Vaya con Guacamole. Crane

I guess the redside version of this would be “We have a few issues.” That’s near when I came in, actually. I got the Good vs. Evil edition with the free jump pack and Pocket D TP.

I managed to get some endurance reduction SOs in some of Craney’s powers. He’s huffing and puffing a lot less now. Of course, now I’m broke. Again.:-/

I’ll be logging some Cranebump time this coming week. Now that I’m 20+, really need to take on old Pos.

UHmmmm, sounds like that person is a “rules lawyer.” Guess there must’ve been a bit of cross pollination from the ol’ tabletop. (sings thread title to tune of Girls on Film)

Change of plans. If we have Marcus Welby, then this take on classic "medicine" fits right in: Say hello to "Trapper Juan" (Ice/Rad Troller). [replacement for Azbot]

Ah. Tanking. So THAT'S what that is.:-)

Lil shot of some of the gang in action: I'm a-kickin', Marcus is a-healin', and Tanker is a...hmmm what is Tanker doin'?:-)

Getting ready to run Azbot-1 through the tutorial! Spint, AHOY! I'm as ugly as the original toon!

All I'll say on that subject is this--and this is simply an observation, not an indictment against fast-tracking or min-maxing -- If you play the game without the P2W stuff, it is more than sufficiently balanced in terms of challenge. I rediscovered this while playing a new character in "Classic Challenge" mode. Other than REALLY missing travel at lower levels, it has proven to be a revelation, since my newbie is running without 8-hours of bought buffs, plus DfB buffs, plus Sands/Staff, grenades, or whatever else I might buy off the bat (not to mention using jet pack to gather Atlas exploration (and Galaxy Echo), resulting in 10 early merits I can cash in. That said, not everyone wants that mode of play. And that's fine. What's not quite as fine would be for me to trash the game's inherent challenge/balance, which I've mitigated with all my widgets. You can create your own form of "balance," and that's cool.

It’s 2020–everything is triggered.:-)

Funny. I was thinking the same thing. Might be time to roll out the Assistance/Support/Service Bot, the first Rad/Rad I ever made. Be on the lookout for Azbot! (Because ASS-bot is a bridge too far for me).:-)

Thanks, Sparky. Appreciated.

I ended up trudging slowly forward, avoided KBing targets "north," but instead to sides ("east/west"). Got close enough to grab both barrels, avoiding a big fight with what would've been a pretty big group of blues. Blues, yes, but all that toxic would've been a bear! (NOTE: Vahz minions don't always react to what's happening right next to them).
