Had no need to. The hand and suit said it all. I've had a chance to think over the first three episodes now. A few thoughts:

Oh, absolutely try them! I was impressed with your guy's trousers. Malaise, I assume? I never figured that pattern/look out when experimenting with a lot of possibilities.

I've had zero interest in making a beam rifle/bio sentinel...until now.

Primo threads! Aged of Aquarius totally digs it! Now we just need another 300 to 400 of us and then we can all sit on a hilltop drinking bottled colas while teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony. (Couldn't resist having a bit of fun with you. You did great, though!)

Episode 3 is in the can, and I liked it, if for no other reason than they ended on a Sammy Davis, Jr. song I'd never heard, but possibly more jingle addictive than his "Candyman" song. Oh, and was that _________ pinching children's cheeks? 😲 Spoiler thoughts:

What's good ol' Posi up to?

The moment someone issues me a mission to kill 50 boars, I don't care if they're radioactive, I'm going to punch the contact in the face and turn full on villain. That said, I always had a soft spot for those corners of open world WoW where there'd be silver or even gold-framed opponents and one would have to fight their way through several of them to reach the plunder in the cave behind. I keep looking at the Freaks town in Crey's Folly thinking it would be perfect for that, and since some Freaks fly, even flight and teleport would not guarantee a quick victory.

I'd have thought that would have been tattooed to the back of your hand.

I realize that for obvious reasons we can't pay them, but where do we send the Hickory Farms gift baskets?

Coulson did refer to dying as his superpower. 😉

Loved Rook back in my college days. Friends and I would spend way too much of our study time in makeshift Rook tournaments.

Late to the party by an hour. For all I know you've bought already. I'd even suggest starting at 16 GB, if possible. I did a very quick glance-through on the thread. I'll just add a minor point. One think to consider is USB ports and what that might mean for the future of the computer. Some of the offerings have USB black, which is USB 2.0 at a slower transfer speed. Less expensive, but slower transfer rates, and aging technology. USB blue, or USB 3.0, spotted on one PC on your list that is sold out, is notably faster. Also USB 3.0 comes in "flavors": 3.1 giving 10 Gbps transfer speeds and 3.2 giving 20 Gbps. Some pitch these with Generation names as well. If you see that, and you want 10 Gbps, don't go for "Gen 1" go at least "Gen 2". Here's a nice little write-up on the various USB colors and meanings: https://tech-fairy.com/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-different-usb-port-colors-blue-teal-blue-yellow-red-black/

You ah...you do brush your teeth often, yes?

I'd say "yes, yes it is". A good example is Marvel's own "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". The Whedon style is full of twists, some of them quite shocking, and fans expected it when watching "Agents...". They were not disappointed.

Getting right into the spirit of "Second Chances" with a new Seismic Blast/Dark Miasma Corrupter Still working on the backstory, but with a gold cybernetic hand, and Goldbricker costume parts, he's pretty sure to have a past tie to that gang. Incidentally, I mentioned in another thread that I often use clipping of costume parts to my advantage, but I think this one takes the cake. (And yes, I know the actual adjective is "stygian", but I like the word play, so "Styxian" becomes his first name. 😛) Styxian Stone

I wonder how much it actually is, though. Clearly with a movie every 2 to 3 years Renner wouldn't be able to play the character much longer as an action hero, but if they're building a Young Avengers, as seems very apparent, they're going to need a couple of things: 1) a base. SHIELD is gone (unless they acknowledge a rebuilding, as in the "Agents of..." series), Avengers tower was sold, and Avengers HQ is a pile of rubble. Clint has the connections to look into getting another base. 2) Mentorship. The young'ns need someone to show them the way. Now that could be Bucky and Captain Falcon America, but Clint might make a good coach from the base situation room while Sam quarterbacks. I guess it depends on how interested Renner is in exploring the character's sunset.

Yes, October 14, 2025 to be exact. So just under 4 years, or a bachelor's degree in years, if you want to think of it that way. No need to rush into Windows 11.

I'm enjoying the Corrupter Seismic Blast set. One request if I may (and I apologize if I've duplicated something. I read as fast as I could into 8 pages of material, but I'm up against the family supper time): Can something be done about the volume of Seismic Shockwaves? Admittedly I've heard this sound from earth control powers, but for some reason it grows very annoying when emanating from my corruptor, especially since SS has triggered so frequently. I'd be happy with a reduction in sound, or a toggle under options. Realizing neither of those may be practical, might I ask that the COH Modder community come up with a reduced sound or a mute on SS? Again, fun set! At least so far as I've gotten.

First, a question: Whats the "Brickstown update"? when I saw that phrasing (which appears 4 times in regards to bits of it) I went looking through the list, especially the city zone section, but I've seen nothing detailing this. Perhaps I've overlooked something? Second...wow. Just...WOW! I'd been keeping this on the peripheral of my radar, really only noting the new Strike Force and the inner tube emotes, but as I read through the list looking for changes to my characters to which I'd need to adapt, my eyes just got bigger and my jaw more slack. I'm seriously impressed! Hats off to the development team!

I've seen the 2nd episode now, so I'm caught up. I commented mostly with humorous intent on the musical, as in "poor Steve can't catch a break", but then I saw the video you dropped and... wow, uhh..oh dear. Though I'd be delighted to find my wild guess on the dog panning out, there's a little thing called Occam's Razor, and your explanation of the dog's tragic origin fits it very well for explaining why he did a targeted attack. We've just not seen that explanation on screen yet. as to episode 2:

While I've definitely seen some leaders who provide little to no explanation, I've definitely seen a larger share of "Master Of..." trials where seasoned, near-universally respected leaders cannot get folks to pay attention. I've seen multiple occasions where the leaders repeat the steps of the situation multiple times, before and during the trial, often in bold text or duplicating on bright-colored special channels (that all were informed about before going into the trial), and I've even seen a string of other players adding their pleas for people to pay attention only to see several members of the league still mow down the target with no regard to the reward goal or the instructions given repeatedly. The only thing I've not seen these incredibly patient leaders try is individually getting responses from each player going into the trial that they understand the instructions and will abide by them. And frankly, that should not be necessary.

Not sure exactly what you're after but maybe some of this might give fresh ideas? I was able to combine the "Plan 9 Striker with Fin" dual pistols (pic below) with Solarverse's "Star Wars Blaster SFX" mod on CoH Modder for a satisfying "pew pew" pair of weapons. audio sample: While I agree that we could always use more aviator costume parts (would love a good lamb's wool-lined bomber jacket ala "Sky Captain"), a little creativity never hurt. Ace Barnstormer here was created in 2005 from parts available even then.

Do we have beauty contest sashes in the game? I want sashes!

*Glances at thread title* I think you misunderstand. The bird is the least happy thing on this day. JibJab understood that.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the sewers...suddenly comes The Creature From...My Alt Account! Dun, Dun, DUUUUUN! (Water Blast/Mental Manipulation Blaster) Aquaphobia1.mp4
