It’s been a long road, but we’ve finally dinged 50! Episode 50, that is.
In this episode we discuss:
- Winner of Knives of Artemis costume code: Flick Guy
- Free character transfers until the end of January:
- Starts:Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 8:59 a.m. PST (11:59 a.m. EST)
- Ends: Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. PST (2:59 a.m. EST)
- These are moves, not copies. You can move a character back with the same restrictions and caveats
- You cannot transfer characters between different accounts — same account only
- You can do up to 6 transfers a week. This could be anything from 1 character transferred 6 times back and forth between 2 servers, or could be 6 characters to different servers in any combination
- Cannot swap between US & European servers
- Lose Supergroup affiliation, prestige, and items
- Lose server friends list, but keep global list
- Leveling pacts will be broken
- Keep auction house items
- You may lose your character name if it is already taken on the new server. No warning is given, but you are given a free rename token. If you already have one character on the destination server you can do a name lookup check at the login screen.
- If you have a one or two letter/number name, you will loose it forever. The servers currently only allow three letter/number names.
- Character transfer tutorial

- This purchase enables these features for all characters on your game account from level 1. Ninja Run power is available at level 4. Costume change emotes* do require that you unlock at least one additional costume slot.

We had an opportunity to sit down with Tee Morris the other night and talk about super hero movies, gaming, and a million other geeky topics.
This discussion is more about super heroes in various media than City of Heroes, but we do manage to talk about many features and aspects of the game.
Two warnings:
- Tthere are bad words. We drop the F Bomb a few times and discuss.. um.. anatomy.
- There are spoilers. We discuss all aspects of many different movie/book/comic properties and without pausing to give warnings, so be prepared to hit pause/fast forward if you hear a topic that you don’t want to get spoiled on
During our conversation we mention:
- Kulture Kast
- Watchmen
- Erotica Ala Carte
- Geek Radio Daily
- BSG
- El Cazador
- GURPS
- Green Lantern Mashup
- Transformers vs. Terminator Mashup

By the way, the pie was epic WIN!
Here is the spectacle of the MulletCast – that’s right: business up front, party in the back!! This is primarily a feedback episode, but we did manage to get in new information about i14 and how Mission Architect will work as well as a few other news (ahem) nuggets.
The episode ended up being so long that I’ve split it into two files, however releasing them at the same time. Hopefully you get them in the right order. Depending on your podcatcher and mp3 player, it may roll right through. For some (most?) people part A will end at around an hour and 30 minutes, then you’ll have to pick part B from the playlist and keep on rolling.

- New Issue 14 Mission Architect info revealed
- Little Big Planet
- Introducing the Paragon Journals
- Issue 14 Closed Beta Starts Today!
- We got a puppy!
