Rate my heroes!
So somebody asked that question again, to which I promptly answered, "Because men are so tasty, especially with A-1 Sauce!" I really should be honest with those who ask and tell them that I already have at least six boyfriends:
I spend a lot of time with them on City of Heroes, most evenings in fact, often until 2am on weeknights. I've been really bad lately. I admit I'm totally addicted, approaching the level of GeekSlut with World of Warcraft, a game which most of my former City of Heroes-playing friends have sold their souls to as well. Anyway, here's a breakdown of my boyfriends, in order of time logged on playing with each:
- Alpha Ant: tech blaster, fire/energy
- Big Bad Woof: magic defender, weather/sonic
- Captain Crunk: mutation controller, mental/healing
- Geardagh: magic tanker, earth/earth
- The Green Bay Packer: natural tanker, ice/invulnerability
- Tiny Troll: mutation corruptor, vines 'n spines (City of Villains)
Rate my heroes! Geardagh is the woofiest, while I think Alpha Ant is kind of cute (he's short and Jewish). The Green Bay Packer is most popular online, and everyone he meets wants to talk football, which I din't know much about, but he's friends with Brett Favre. Captain Crunk is good for a laugh, and much valued on a team as an efficient healer and teleporter. Tiny Troll is short 'n spunky, while Big Bad Woof has an awesome back story.
No embargo this weekend, as while it's been cold outside the heat misers upstairs have kept the heat going. I found that I don't actually control all the water, just the hot water, just in case. But I think I'll go the route of one last request when the heat is off on cold nights, before contacting the landlord. Winter is almost over, but it ain't over yet.
Redesign inspired by Dooce using Jason Gaylor's Fresh Foliage Photoshop brushes. I'm not as artistic or color-coordinated as either, but the winter snowflake motif had to go. Things are sprouting outside! Is the blue too much?

The Green Bay Packer Natural/Ice Tanker would make a great couple with you. I think Geardagh Earth looks a bit like DurbanBud and you'd make a searing couple with him.

I don't know about Packer's green 'stache and hair. And yeah, Geardagh does look like TJ and is thus a hottie. Perhaps I had DurbanBud in mind when I created the character.

I suspect you've just electronically molded your perfect men. At least you know what you want, man wise and otherwise. Do you actually meet people that way too?

My vote goes for Geardagh. It's been so long since I was last on, I need to play some this week.

Yes, the blue is a bit off...

your new picture in the corner is wicked hot.

I LIKE the blue - the whole look reminds me of porcelain for some reason
Geardagh is pretty woofy no doubt - but I do have a thing for Jewish guys. No doubt he's furry...

What server are you on? I'm on Freedom!

Oh, forgot to say, I'm on Virtue.

If I'm gonna fit in, I'll have to lust after Geardagh, but I promise I won't touch. I'm baked out so I may be looking around one night.

I almost bought City of Heroes the other day, I've been hooked on MMO's for years, been through most of them, but never City of Heroes/Villains. I've been MMO free since I quit WoW about a year ago, but I have the itch again, halp.

I'm on Virtue with Fent, The Golden Orb, Inoculus. Ironjohn or Ursino.
Is there a bandana outfit graphic later in the game?
