Yo.
Was it Gudda who wanted some broken/#### figs for modding purposes?

I've got a few lying around that I don't need that I could probably send on their way.. PM me if you want.

[screwicide squad]

So you guys wanna speculate on which company will buy heroclix on your next podcast?

[gudda]

im sure we can ... It would be a total speulation though

[screwicide squad]

total speculation is the best kind of speculation.

I don't know if this has been brought up to you guys before, but it sounds like Steve is talking from a different room. I usually just make a CD to listen to on the way to work and I have to constantly paly with the volume between sentences. Last week was awful when you had the fill in for Gudda. Please get closer to the mic or something.
I enjoy your podcast even though there is not much in the way of news right now.
Some suggestions would be some top ten lists or the Independent's day thing they are talking about with HC online.
Thanks for keeping us entertained. i enjoy the comic and E-news as well.

Love the intro guys! What's that song you used for the outro? It sounds really familiar...

I think we got it almost fixed...part of the problem is my mic was never working and it was my "built in computer mic" recording the audio. This has been a problem I have been trying to address. I am gonna end the problem soon though and invest in a usb mic.

Peeping Tom "Mojo"

Peeping Tom is Mike Patton and some other guys. He has always been one of my favorite vocalists cause he is so diversified. I try to mix up the endings with songs people haven't really heard before. My way of bringing my strange like of strange music to the world.

Do you guys ever mention the Clixcast during the podcast? I never notice it anymore, and it'd be cool if there were other people posting there besides me!

I am assuming you are talking about the Clixcast group on HCREALMS. Honestly I forgot about it. Actually I just checked it today. But since you bring it up I think I will start mentioning it more. Thanks for reminding me.

[Bob]

Sorry about not replying to last week's post guys - the last few weeks have been killer.

I've already had 4 graduations I've had to attend in the last 2 weeks, including my wife's (BSN in Nursing - congrats Colleen!), my youngest turned 4 yesterday (Happy belated Logan!), and work has been so busy that I haven't had time to even get online during my shortened breaks and lunch times.

I think I have a small break for a bit, so on my to-do list are the following:

1) Find some suitable U-Foe dials
2) Brainstorm some clixcast future topics (really would like to hear another play-by-play game between Steve and Gudda)
3) Prep a "Friday Scenarios" care package to ship off to IL. Sorry, but I'm going to hold on to Ned for now until I see whet HoT brings, but Joey the Snake is all yours Steve for keeping this machine rolling. Friday Scenarious I think will fit nicely for #2

I'm not making any promises on how quickly this will all get done, but I'll do my best...

Keep up the great work!

Bob

Gudda,

Had some time to browse the Units section. Starting with Vapor, how about the following:

#cr224 R Shadow Demon
Team: No Affiliation
Range: 0 :bolt:
Points: 60
Keywords: none
m-normala-normald-normalg-normal10917299172891628816278152KOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOSpeed - THE DARKNESS IS ALIVE!: Shadow Demon can use Plasticity, Phasing/Teleport, and Stealth.


PROS:

The special power fits, standard powers are appropriate (Poison, Super Senses, and Exploit Weakness), and numbers seem about right.

CONS:

I'm not sure B/C/F is appropriate, would have liked to have had Incapaciate in there, and it doesn't have flight.

It's just a start, so I'll keep looking...

I did consider shadow demons .. but One I dont have enough of them to start ( i only have 4 ) and though the dial is great for the points .. I was trying to drop about 100 points on each one I wanted this team to look alot like the Starter F4 ... Leaning towards vet cloak .. but i still have not decided

I'm happy to hear you are going to have the Ex Wizkids sculptors back on in a month.

I don't think you guys were hard on them. They seem to roll pretty well with the punches.

Can I post a few questions to ask them?

Sure! That will make our jobs a little easier!

Hey ibeatdrew!

Great clixcasts, keep 'em up! I wanted to put a question out there for you, and I'll just copy/paste from a thread in the Forums:

Dear Mods;

I and about a dozen well-known folks on the forums (including miraclo, DeGei, da-Craig-O, spider_ham...) are designing a new full Heroclix expansion set. Normally, it is my understanding that those sorts of flights-of-fancy go into the Dreams & Desires forum. However, the intention of this set is to be built for actual online play (via the Heroclix Online software) and to "fill the lull" in official figures. We have scheduled a "virtual release" for July 4th (the set, an Indy set, is of course titled "Independent's Day").

I am keen to know if there is any way I could get approval to "sneak preview" elements of the set in some form, or otherwise drum up interest and debate in the General Forums or on the main page. I am very much open to suggestion.

Not many people play online - however, if the game line is not picked up, this format will allow those of us who do to continue releasing and (importantly) playing new figures which are released on a regular basis. Any support the Realms can give (whether a splashy main page piece or just permission to preview figures in the general forum) would be most appreciated!

****

Quebbster seems keen on it, but has no clue how to post a front-page article, so I turn to you to see if you've got an interest in helping us "sneak-preview" figures.

Cheers;
Crow
