What Is The First Thing You Are Going To Do In Issue 27 Page 7?

This. Part of the problem, perhaps all of it, is that the statement cannot be absolute. It may not be the same account, but as we're permitted to hold 3 accounts, it could very easily be the same person just directing you to their 2nd or 3rd account. From there, it's an easy email or in-game exchange to the original account.

That is an incredible look!
-
Concept-wise, he sounds similar to Junkpile of X-men 2099 comics, though I've not seen that character in 30 years, and what remains online is a lot cleaner in look than I remember.

Decided to turn my attention to the concept of hero statues throughout a city. Thematically, I looked at five sub-concepts: 1. A monument similar to the Soldiers & Sailors monument in Indianapolis. If you're not familiar with it, the S&S monument is to Indy what the Gateway Arch is to St. Louis. 2. Random statues throughout a major city. 3. The concept of a memorial garden for the fallen. 4. What might have been the possibilities if Atlas were memorialized at the bridge he guarded in his final battle. 5. What a hero statue might look like at a lighthouse (Siren's Call) The fight this time was with the Bing AI interpreting "superhero" to always mean "Superman" (or occasionally Spider-Man, Captain America, and Iron Man. Oddly Batman wasn't a problem.) Trying to get that S-in-a-diamond look to go away was a mess, and in the end, I acquiesced to it being in one of the shots.
-
Of the two shots I selected above, the first is something I'd very much like to see added to the game, perhaps in a revitalized part of the city. The latter shot, the statue looks more like an Achilles than an Atlas, but I find the look quite good.

Looking down the road..... TRON: Ares
Techwright replied to Techwright's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Acknowledged, though I'm not sure how it can be a reboot, as the computer universe didn't even know there was a crossing until Flynn showed up. I'm fine with it not being a sequel. "Set within the universe", to me at least, would seem a better choice. Which could play into the concept of "set within the universe". Ares could be a story set between the previous two movies, of an Iso (those special programs found in Tron: Legacy) who might have been trying to find a way to retrace Flynn's path and find a way out that didn't involve Flynn's disk. Probably not, but I'd find it interesting. Time to bring out Hans Zimmer. Whomever they find, I hope they keep the musical tone of Wendy Carlos and Daft Punk. -
I'm pretty excited for the possibilities this presents. Troy Baker appears to do a fine job as a spiritual heir to the voice of Indy, and whomever is channeling Denholm Elliot as Marcus Brody deserves a raise. Something about the graphics and facial movements feels a little off, as if it's using technology from a few years back, but by and large I'm interested to see the final product. That's saying something as I'm one of those unfortunate souls for whom first person perspective is the gateway to nausea. I'd probably risk it for this one.
-
And so it begins (a little Boxleitner humor there). TRON:Ares will be a new story set in the TRON universe. So far, they've yet to reveal any cast members from TRON or TRON: Legacy returning. The inclusion of Cameron Monaghan intrigues me. He did good work on the two canon Star Wars games Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. I'm also happy to see Evan Peters and Gillian Anderson on the roster. Jared Leto as top billing does not intrigue me at all, An alternate information source is suggesting a Christmas 2025 opening.

Wolverine voice actor, as @El D states, is the same voice actor as before. No idea why it sounds so different, unless that was an early effort. I realize there might be age to the actor's voice, it's been nearly 30 years after all, but I'd have thought the voice director would have made more effort. I also realized watching the clip that I've grown used to hearing Steve Blum as the voice of Wolverine. Magneto voice actor, as well as Cyclops voice actor had to be replaced due to death in both cases. Not just kids! I was only a few years out of college when this premiered, and I'd have much preferred eggs and peanut buttered toast while watching If the trailer is anything to go on, this looks great. It will take a bit to get used to the different voices, but I understand 3 decades necessitate the difference. Hopefully, in the future Respeecher and similar tools will change that. I don't think I'm spoiling anything 27 years later by saying with Charles out of the picture (the end back in '96) this might lead to a parallel to the comic version of The Age of Apocalypse, where Magneto leads the X-men and others in a charge against the world takeover by Apocalypse. It's possibly my favorite X-men arc, though if done, I'm sure it will be much less violent than the comics.

You've identified the problem I've been having. I don't know the real words, if there are any, for a variety of costume parts from the game. For example, my retro-future space ranger, Major Ray Gunn, uses what the game calls "fury wings" along the side of his helmet, but this apparently is not a real world term for that part, if it even has one.
-
I've said it before, but it's worth repeating: the four members of the Korean W.I.S.D.O.M. hero group: Foreshadow Mirror Spirit Rose Star Spark Blade The first two to move them from their relegated status as mere trainers, the latter two because we were promised them, and they've never actually made it to the game.

Make Talos a hub for your movements and you're likely to encounter 1 or more of Malta's Kronos Titans. Two weeks ago, I was part of a league that tackled an outbreak of 20 of them. Also, make sure you have the Event Messages dialog (blood red text) in whatever chat tab you monitor. It will announce when GMs and events happen, with the exception of the unusual GM "Sally" of Croatoa, as stealth is all important to her.

I'll simply add that Paladin can spawn without the construction project as well, and he'll still head for that spot. You can get a badge for this one, and if I recall correctly you won't if the one being constructed is active.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Techwright replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
What I've seen of Pedro onscreen I like, so understand that I'm not saying he's stupid but he's not the first name that comes to mind when I'm trying to think of actors who can pull off super-genius. Guess that makes this his chance to demostrate that he can act against type. I don't really know the other three. I kind of wish they'd found good actors who kind of look like brother and sister, but I guess that's the hair and makeup department's job. What I'm most concerned about is that this is attempt number...ahem...4...to bring the Fantastic Four to the screen, and as all the others were weak sauce, though to varying degrees. They desperately need a win this time. The muddle that was Phase...ahem...4 was such a mixed bag that I'm concerned about the F4 and Phase 5. Specific to the poster: Do the F4 now have a robot in the comics? That's a mildly interesting wrinkle. Is Reed Richards going to be the MCU's new go-to big brain now that Tony is gone and Shuri is likely too busy being Black Panther and queen? Mid-Century Modern furniture: is that a subtle reference to the year F4 premiered? -
What? The Titans? 😲
-
So did you find something that accomplished that? Your team shots seem to imply "yes".
-
At least it was a clean death.
-
Yeah, I've been frustrated with that repeatedly. I'd very much like to see the next contact (Eagle Eye in this case), unlock and remain unlocked after I acquire the phone number of the first contact (Shauna). So if it takes extra levels, I could still do the second contact without having to run to Ouroboros to handle it. And, of course, have the contact I'm currently working with continue to level up with me until I clear all missions, but I realize that's very wishful thinking.

Welcome! If the "glass cannon" is describing the "squid" form, it's kind of normal, though I suspect someone has posted in the archetypes section a build that will harden it. Have you made it to your "lobster" form yet? It's a good off-tank, and in some designs, a good tank. And switching forms is pretty quick, which is probably why KC4800 was suggesting relying on your "squid" form. The speedy conversions reminds me a bit of the druids from my WoW days.

Ripley was wrong...there was another way to make sure.

What guides in the selection of characters for the vid? Some seem obvious to record, others, not as obvious.
-
That is only the second character I've seen to make good use of that aura. Well done.

What's the name, Troo, and what server?

You do realize the greatest one we'll never recall because it was erased from history, yes? At least, I think it was. All I have left is a polaroid with these slowly fading feet where people ought to be.
