I finished up and discovered you guys had a new one out. Excellent! I’m already working through that one. Hope to see the next one out just as I finish it. I mean, it’s not like you guys have anything better to do right? And with FF writing your material, it’s easy! No I’m not *twitch* addicted *twitch* or anything. I can quit any time I want. I just don’t want. Stop looking at me like that.

Anyways, nice part one of the IO coverage. My ultimate IO plans don’t generally concern themselves with the small 2-piece bonuses. I’m usually after the meatier ones found deeper in the sets but I do sometimes grab small stuff like that if it’s relatively cheap and I’m not ready yet to embark on grabbing the big sets I plan to use for real. The cheap bonuses are small but every little bit helps.

And the ring announcer bit was very funny. I’ll be chuckling over that for a good while.

I got the 20 dollar card the first day we received them at Best Buy. You probably already know it includes the game and the pack is active for the 30 days free you get the purchase! It’s a really neat deal really. Now I bought the card to try out the pack because my discount made it 12 bucks but it is pretty fun to perma-fly like crazy…….My villain had to strip it off a pathetic hero though. (Only reason I could justify wearing a red white and blue jump pack) Random fact of the day number 367: A Slayer is a dwarf who has been dishonored and search to regain that honor through glorious death in battle!

Another great cast. Excellent job FF on the IO sets, I can’t wait to hear the rest. Sorry for the short voicemail I got shy all of the sudden.

Yay new cast and all that. I’ve only gotten to listen to a bit so far so more comments to come I imagine. Insofar as the special $5 jet pack is concerned, it MAY be just a rental. That’s the way the power is currently coded. So to make it permanent (which they might) would require recoding the power so anyone who has it gets to keep it AND then being sure to give it back to anyone who had it before. If new players using the $20 card to get into CoX, have to pay another $5 to keep it while those who’ve never had it can grab it permanently for just the $5, it would be a bit unfair I think. Certainly not insurmountable issues, just things they have to do to make it a one-time charge and be fair to all players.

And the carnie code is for the female version from what I see on the official site. There was a temp costume for both the harlequin and strongman made for Halloween ’07 but the code looks like it just unlocks the harlequin one judging by the official announcement.

Nod – Iron Chef = BEST. SHOW. EVER. Your absence is hereby excused.

FF – can’t wait for the rest of your feature. I have a defender who is in serious need of some IO set love and I can’t decide what to do with her.

Oh and does anyone know if the Carnie costume that Viv mentioned in a female model? My PPD hardsuit is cool but it turns me into a dude. I even say HUH! when I jump, instead of huh!

(mumbles to self – I take one day off to watch 20 episodes of Iron Chef and this is what happens…)

Anyway, great to get new material. Still listening to it so maybe I’ll have some notes later , but in the meantime…

!TSAC WEN YAY

(think Bizaro-world, so since I’m at the bottom of the comments, and it’s backwards, it’s actually first and reads correctly, y’see…)

Excellent Bio! I’m not waiting for the DVD, I absolutely have to see that in the theater. Great cast ChoVIVoch.

Well, you see, there is this Spore thingy. It’s made a lot of PC gamers vanish. Even I can barely maintain this reality for a few minutes at a time.

HOLY COW, a bio with background music! Awesome!

Hmmm, well now I have to come up with an origin story for Nailbunny.

C and V, thanks for all the supplemental material about the mission architect. I can’t wait to create a mission where the heroes have to face the villain super-speedster written of by Homer, a fiend who disappoints women worldwide, Two Second Trojan.

I hope that the IO set/percentages end up linked from the show notes, or if you prefer, I can post them. Your call.

Your pal (and according to Nailbunny a knuckle-dragging immortal funnyman)

Fantastic Foe

Yay new cast. OK, so I wasn’t first, but fifth is pretty cool, kindof like the Fifth Element, pretty cool. Anyway, great cast. Looking forward to the next cast.

Fantastic Foe a clown? You sir CLEARLY don’t know his lore! Long ago in the time before time (also referred to by scholars as the Pre-timinig). The neanderthal Vandar Adg was caught in a blast created by an irradiated space meteor which granted him immortality and extreme intelligence. Further research into key moments in comedic history. From creating the mammoth poo-based flaming bag of poo to the time he travel to the future to put a quark imbued rotary inductor in Vice Chancellor Vediolon’s office. He has and will always be the true prankster.

P.S. Also, You may say that his origin seems just like a rip off of Vandal Savage but you’d be wrong it’s completely different *cough*

I hear that this Fantastic Foe guy is a clown. But I guess I’ll listen to the ‘cast anyway.

Yay! New audio distributed via the interwebs!

Nod nodded off? Dang it, I don’t think I can do it right. Where are you Nod?? OK, I guess I’ll give it a shot…

Yay! News cats!
