Say what you want, but I’ve been a fan of the super booster packs that Paragon Studios has been bringing out for City of Heroes. And the latest, full of Ninja-y goodness is one of the best yet. Let’s see: new weapons for those who wield blades, great costume parts from Sexy Jay, and a little something called Ninja Run What an excellent power! Starting at level 4, you can run faster than sprint, jump higher than hurdle, and look crazy awesome as you flip while jumping. As could be expected, Atlas Park is currently City of Ninjas, but once the initial excitement dies down I think things will fall back into balance. With only one super booster origin to go (Mutation), now all I can do is wait anxiously for the Going Rogue beta. Hopefully it starts in time for my birthday in February!

Yup, it’s been years, but for the last few days Chris and I have been having a serious blast playing Tsu and Blue again on Triumph (well, whenever the lag spike monster doesn’t get us, that is). We’re working our way through flashback missions and accumulating plenty of prestige, salvage for the base, and merits. I’m especially enjoying being able to customize their powers; blue now has apropriately ‘blue’ energy melee, while Tsu is enjoying some retro costume goodness from her original build. (Thank goodness I saved them on test!)

Well this years Deadly Apocalypse was a blast. Don’t know if all of you had as much fun as I did, but I enjoyed chasing down the banners and defeating the giant monsters. Of course, smacking down a few zombies is always a good time, and let’s never forget the original Trick or Treat I don’t know if as many people participated in these events as in years past, but I do know that the best is yet to come.
