NCSOFT & Homecoming License Announcement
Ulysses Dare replied to Homecoming's topic in Announcements
Supposedly that data was either erased or turned over to NCsoft as a sacrifice to keep them from coming after SCoRe once word got out. -

The Banished Batgirl Mystery
Ulysses Dare replied to ThaOGDreamWeaver's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Some new insight into the mystery: -
The change they made was to say that the scarab was alien in origin, rather than being magic. This is a retcon to the Dan Garret's version of Blue Beetle, not Ted Kord's. Ted never used the scarab.

Keith Giffen (November 30, 1952 – October 9, 2023)

Sad news. I was a fan of his work on Justice League International and Ambush Bug. -
What’s the most bombastic name in your stable
Ulysses Dare replied to liveevil2000's topic in General Discussion
マジカル・レインボー ミステリアスなプリティ・ウォリアー きらめくプリンセス aka Magical Rainbow Mysterious Pretty Warrior Sparkling Princess Tragically shortened to "Sparkling Princess" by that mean old character limit. -
I have no idea what you think the difference between "Healer" and "healers" is but, as a practical matter, there is none. Either way, it's insulting because it reflects the old school trinity mindset that the character's only purpose is to heal and reinforces the idea that powersets without healing, like FF and TA, are subpar. Now, maybe you just never met any of those people but I can assure you they exist. Back on live I was once kicked from a team the minute I zoned into Steel Canyon and the leader realized I was playing a Trick Arrow defender. I don't recall if they specifically said "you're not a healer" but they certainly made it clear my lack of a heal was the reason.

I played CoH from around Issue 2 until sunset. The game never revolved around the "holy trinity". There were always some people who thought it did; who wouldn't move an inch until their team had a tank and a "healer" (usually meaning an Emp). But most of us just rolled with whatever and it worked just fine.

We have a level one arching! Repeat, level one arching!

I saw the video of a secret server that got posted to the Titan Network and had a front row seat to the ensuing firestorm. Made an account on Bree then, after it imploded, on Homecoming.

Oh my goodness, picking just one was hard. Very nice work, all of you.

Focused Feedback: Blast Power Set Updates
Ulysses Dare replied to The Curator's topic in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback
I'm not a fan of these two changes. There are people out there who've built characters around these powers and you're pulling the rug out from under them. Some, maybe even most, will adapt. But some won't and will instead retire those characters. A tiny few will be annoyed enough to quit altogether. And for what? No one who wasn't exited about AR before is going to rush to play the set now just because it has Aim. Let AR keep it's distinctive feel. Buff the powers if the set needs it but don't take its existing tools away. -
The CW took that approach with Black Lighting and I loved it.

Is that Ted Kord's Bug I spy?

Better Than Expected Flicks...?
Ulysses Dare replied to ThaOGDreamWeaver's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Wild Things (1998). Caught this one as part of a double feature. Based on the marketing my friend and I had assumed it was going to be some forgettable teen drama or romcom. Instead we got an excellent suspense thriller. -
What's the smallest change to CoX that you really want?

A kick animation for Cobra Strike. My savate-using martial artist would greatly appreciate it. -
Crossover Events - best/worst/weirdest
Ulysses Dare replied to ThaOGDreamWeaver's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
I think I know the one you're talking about. The gang is driving down a road and the Mystery Machine keeps breaking down in front of various spooky locations. Each time, the special guest star pulls out exactly what's needed to fix it, so they don't have to go visit the creepy place. Finally, Fred gets annoyed and just runs the van into a tree. It aired on Cartoon Network, if I'm not mistaken. -

Anyone who likes this sort of thing—and, really, who doesn't?—should check out: https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/ That said, hands down the strangest actual crossover I've ever seen was IDW's Transformers/My Little Pony. -

I'd love it if the destinations for base teleporters were arranged in alphabetical order. -
Ohhh, never thought to check out Pitch Meeting's entry on TVTropes. Whelp, there goes my evening.

Bravo. My only critique is you didn't include "hey, shut up."

Well, it's not like they're using it anymore.
