Um. So…<\/p>\n

Today’s lack of substantive posting is brought to you by Champions Online. I have about a dozen posts in the queue. (In this context “The Queue” is located between my ears.) But if I don’t type them I can’t post them. I think next we’ll be talking about FUEL.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, here are a few snapshots of other heroes I’ve spotted in the game:<\/p>\n

”TheHulk77″ – his powers are super strength and super lack of imagination.<\/td><\/tr>

I think he was actually named “Spider Man”, which means he’s probably been punished in whatever way they punish you for using the game to flaunt IP laws. I’m the one on the left. “Doc Feral”. A scientist turned into a big musclebound ape-thing. Not exactly trailblazing work on my part, either.<\/td><\/tr>

That’s a pretty good Green Lantern, but still… all this freedom to create and all you want to do is re-make an existing hero?<\/td><\/tr>

There are a LOT of clown-themed heroes. Clowns, and people wearing all black.<\/td><\/tr>

I used to think goofy names like this were because the player couldn’t find a good name, but Champs Online lets you pick any name you want without caring if someone else is using it. And still we get people named “PressAnyKey”, “xXKillStealerXx”, and “TheHulk77″<\/td><\/tr>
