Monday, May 03, 2004My friend from work got me to buy the MMORPG City of Heroes this weekend. It is a-freaking-mazing. You are a comic super hero working for Great Justice. The graphics are top notch, even on my "minimum requirements" video card, and there is almost no lag-- at times I forget that I'm online with hundreds of other superheroes. The character creation is very good, and pretty much no two players will look or act the same. Most of all, it is fun. You can jump rooftop to rooftop looking down on the impressively rendered Dirty City, finding citizens accosted by mugger scum, then deal them a heaping helping of Righteousness and Virtue. The muggers, that is. I've played two characters so far, a blue dreadlocked guy who kung fu kicks Evil in the face, and a woman decked out in red spandex, a floppy pimp hat, giant yellow-tinted sunglasses, and a red veil that covers her mouth. She shoots flames from her fists and makes the bad guys take it and like it. I call her "The Emasculator." What is funny is how many guys are hitting on me, propositioning me for sex, etc. I mean, geez, sure she has a nice behind and 3D rendered bosom, but it's not like an actual woman (or at least an attractive actual woman) is spending her time with an online roleplaying game. And even if she were, would you really trust the family jewels to someone called "The Emasculator" ? Or maybe they know I'm a guy and are indulging some sort of transvestite surprise "Lola" by the Kinks fantasy. Well I’m not the world’s most masculine man / But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man / And so is Lola / L-O-L-A Lola. Boy I love that song. posted by Nate on 12:46 AM link
