"Will Sapphire be gracing us with her musical talents again? "
Every year until now I have almost prayed for this to be tossed in the circular bin. Now though, I'm kinda curious about what the reactions of the new players will be to this...."concert". Oh and also Cryptic, it's still probably the most cringeworthy thing I've seen in gaming (top 5 anyways) and clocking in at under 3 minutes, the song is not a concert.
"CHAMPEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOHHHHHNNNNNS!. Ok I gotta go, but I'll be back later!"
The one, under-three-minute song is a plus, IMO. I don't think I could take an entire concert from the folks responsible for that song.
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
So will there be anything special for the Champions Anniversary this year?
Will Sapphire be gracing us with her musical talents again?
It's more fun if you show up in your Drunkest Costume (and you KNOW you have one of those :cool: ) and chant "Take It Off" during the show.
Good times.........

Meh. I don't mind hearing the song and people aren't holding a gun and forcing you to listen to it. I just hope the siege of Champs HQ works this year.
Could be worse...could be a rap battle between Defender and Dr. Destroyer...
That would be AWESOME!!
Here we are now going to the West Side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day
Where there's love and darkness and my sidearm
In game as @forgemccain
I am a fan of the concert. My Favorite part is when its over!
I am still waiting for the time that DJ Madbot reveals himself to be Foxbat, but I think he is just too embarassed to be associated with the concert to reveal himself.
and sockmunkey, I would love that! Reboot is still on of my favorite shows ever.
I don't mind the concert at all, but we really need choclate fried pies
and funnel cakes...
and corn dogs...
and cotton candy
And deep friend pineapple chunks for those inclined to eat healthy. :biggrin:
And the Deep Fried Butter On A Stick
And wash it all down with a Deep Fried Coke!

Good Sir...nothing NOTHING is worse Sapphire's anniversary song.
ya know, given the overall campy atmosphere of the game, i thought it was cute. Played straight it was bad, but for the atmosphere ingame, it kind of worked. it has a very "that one episode in every 80s cartoon where they form a band and really just sing the shows theme song but still everyone loves it " vibe. plus, in the copycat world of mmos, i cant think of any other mmo where they had a main npc throw a concert.
Could be awesome...could be a rap battle between Defender and Dr. Destroyer...
Fixed that for you.
And then the victor has to face off in a winner-take-all freestyle rap battle against Shadow Destroyer!
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
Dude that we be awesome!! Also Cryptic why dont you give us the Earth From you had on PTS a year ago for the anniversary!!
That was taken off because people were upset that it was just another offensive passive template. So the devs said they had something in mind for when they did an offensive passive review. That was before the Second Great Dev Migration.
But I liked that passive so I agree with this statement!
I say stuff and I say things, sometimes together but only when I'm feeling adventurous.
Eh...would you really wanna hear Defender's VO pull off a rap?
Yes. Defender's voice actor is one of the best in game.
I think Sapphire's concert would be a lot more tolerable if she didn't try to play it like she's talking to the crowd through the whole thing. I don't like it in real life when people do that in the middle of a song, much less in an mmo while I'm waiting for an alert or whatever. I mean, objectively, she doesn't have a terrible singing voice. You just can't tell because she's busy yelling "woo!" and "the champions!" in the middle of it.

If she sings like she talks, I'm going to have to agree. She easily has the WORST voice acting in this game.

It's that last line that just kills me.
Gods that terribly phony accent.

I can completely see a Dr D. vs Defender face off playing out similar to this.

I would LOVE to hear Doctor Destroyer's voice rap! lol

I rather hear Redsnake do a cover of Justin Bieber's latest musical abortion than listen to Sapphire's anniversary vocal cow poo again.

Don't worry, I liked it too.
Probably because I was surrounded by scantly clad superheroines all night!

Ok I don't get the constant disdain and dismissal.
I'm being serious now-
Imagine someone who likes to make red/black characters. Maybe new to the game.
Do these comments seem welcoming?
What if other players constantly expressed the sentiment....." Ugh....another wrestling clone w/ 90's hair and tights."
If you were new, would that feel like a greeting? Or a blanket dismissal, callous, arbitrary and harsh?
The Resistance Dr. Destroyer's VO + Defender's VO doing a rap battle? Awesome.
And then have a duo version with Dr.D and Shady D vs Defend-R and Foxy-B
:biggrin::biggrin:
