Title: Newbie that's been lurking around for years.
Post by: DetroitBerserker on March 17, 2008, 05:02:21 PM
Oy, the name's DetroitBerserker. I'm new(well, kind of) to this community. I've been lurking around for a very, very long time. I'm 19 now. I started poking around at mods and meshes and the like about 6-8 months after Freedom Force came out. I read, I saw, I became a fan of you guys instead of just my favorite comic characters. Why did It take so long for me to make an account? Dunno, I was a shy kid. Now the reason I finally decided to make one and post may be a bit surprising.
I've been playing City of Heroes since February 8th and was walking around today and I spotted a familiar costume and name in front of Positron in Steel Canyon. I remember it as one of Gni's meshes. Silent Scout. I started talking with him about this community, and he spoke very highly of this community, in spite of him getting kicked out or some such. He told me to just post. So here I am.

For Freedom!

All these years and the old Freedom Ship was harbouring a clandestine passenger! Welcome on the deck, sailor. :)

(And don't mind Captain Spud, he tends to confuse shotguns and candies.)

Aye, like Uatu I enjoy watching things happen and rarely get involved.
It's nice to get outta that dank hold and see the sun.

Welcome, wayward Piston :)

Wait..


How could you have recognised Gni's Silent Scout mesh while playing City of Heroes? Did I miss something? Does CoH have custom meshes? Maybe Silent scout just made a CoH character based on that mesh.

His costume was designed in the same fashion.
Basically he had the hood and a gold chest plate and the colors matched the mesh.
It was a great adaptation of the mesh.

Nice job on padding the post count!   :P Somebody needs to teach you how to do multiple quotes.  Somebody other than me because I don't know how to either.   :D

Now look here, Syn.  I happen to be a close personal friend of Tim the Enchanter's.  There's no good to be had by sending Doctor Detroit after Tim, as some call him, just so he can make a name for himself in the black market organ exchange. *causes a fireball to explode nearby just to punctuate his admonition* *polite applause*

Not enough cash?  Maybe I can help.  There is a booth with a fancy ATM in it over by the bar.  *points* yeah over there next to the payphone.  It says Hellscorp Cash'n'Clone.  Just ignore the bright lights, it's nothing to worry about.
