...so in near-instant retrospect, I shouldn't have tried for a 3% increase on the Ko-Fi goal percentage. It should have been at least 7%. Or, to really get it over with, 73%. Which, plus the extant 27%, would have reached goal, and then I could have posted Extra Time as a subgoal for the rest of the year and started making trip plans --
I just found out TD is reading his way through A Mark Of Appeal. I very suddenly (and retroactively) need the laugh.
(ETA: He posted a comment deep into the story -- not a review announcement: his guess on something which had just happened, in response to someone else's -- then deleted it minutes later. So that lets me know where he is and what he's doing. Nothing quite like finding out you have a dragon in your lair fourteen security layers in.)
4469513 I'll be honest, I was trying to parse the curse words before I realized you were talking about Marvel Puzzle Quest. This is Deadpool we're talking about.
Yes, and that's why he drops whales on people. Because he's aware he's in a match-3 video game and he really wanted to drop a whale on someone. As you upgrade his purple power, he steadily increases the size of the whale.
It's an all-enemies-hit attack, of course. Whales are big.
Four-star Deadpool. I actually have him on my roster, but it's one of those weird situations where I've actually maxed out one of his powers through dumb draw luck and can't get any grounding in the third. However, if I get one more Champion level on *** Betsy, that black power cover will come with it.
(Without going into full character breakdown: the whale power goes away in exchange for tile sabotage, he gets a heavy-duty attack ability which costs a lot of red and true-heals upon use, and that defensive jump-in-the-way power starts hitting back. The last is the one **** Wade's currently missing.)
And yeah: that whale power can make you scream when it hits. (Did the phone survive?) Just be glad the computer doesn't seem to be able to invoke his Ultimate. I've won a few PvP matches because Wade had been saving up for a while and I was able to protect him long enough to press that big beautiful HIT ME! button. It may be the best last resort in the game -- but good luck keeping him standing and putting the purple together.
*nods* But he only trueheals if he can get that red attack off -- which costs 13 red to activate. So you'll pretty much never see it in the early game unless he's teamed with a red-generator or the AI gets a major cascade off.
Which doesn't mean it isn't a major pain to deal with when it does manage to go off. At his current level, he's got 8771 in health. The red power hits for 6216 and trueheals him for 3692. At the **** level, putting him on a team with Marc Spector, who only trueheals when he lands a knockout punch, will result in a very gentlemanly display of courtesy among the insane.
"After you." "No, after you." "Oh, no, my good sirs. I softened him up for you and I know how much you truly love seeing them drop." "Well, if you insist..."
4469713 Oof, 13 red. I know that pain from using my 2-star Steve Rogers. I just wanna make shields but by the time the power is ready I've already been dead in real life for 10 years.
If I had to deal with that combo I don't think I would keep playing. Rage would be too great.
EDIT: Oh, and I just watched the video. It was so well-made I really did think it was the real deal until the credits. I would have missed my bus if it came while I was watching lol
*snerk* You should've seen the three days I had my robotics competition. I've got another four days coming up next week for my Idaho regionals.
*Flashback*
YEAH! FIRST PLACE!
~~~About 3-5 minutes later~~~
Aww... fourth place.
~~~Another 3-5 minutes later~~~
SIXTEENTH PLACE?!
~~~Yet another 3-5 minutes later~~~
Huh. Moved back up to 6th. Okay.
But yeah, don't be ashamed for posting a wave of blogs.
Dear God, that was fucking brilliant. Do not be ashamed of this post.
This is a thing of wonder and beauty. Thank you for sharing it.

I like to think the composer started with "I'm especially good at DECAPITATING!" and just worked outwards from there.
4469463 I personally would've gone with "Eviscerating," but the decapitated head singing was probably a bit hard to pass up

Funny, I'm at work right now so it's probably not safe for me to view it, but still Deadpool rarely disappoints (except when he's killing me in MPQ).
Yeah, be careful. They start charging after 5.

I'm moderately dreading his entry in the ***-analysis. And the ****. He has a ****. Of course he has a ****.
Has he dropped a whale on you yet?
"non-profit unofficial fan-film"
Please. I refuse to believe Ryan Reynolds didn't bankroll this.

*cue ominous music*
I really need to get myself a proper
villaintheme song.4469668 I thought you already had one?

Jeeze, he attacks for a lot of damage and true heals? That would be teeth-breaking to deal with as an opponent.
Phone's good, I got lucky and my childish temper tantrum didn't do any permanent damage.
Pahahahahahahahaha!
Oh my frag that is AMAZING!
I actually thought it WAS Ryan renolds until the credits (because I could see him totally doing this) - that chap was good!

That's racist! Just because Smaug is in that video doesn't mean it applies to all dragons.
