    It's too bad he couldn't hold out any longer. So close!

    I laughed so much at Pinko McFly's post...actual real life laughed out loud & for once would've meant it if I had written "lol"... icon_e_wink.gif

    Well deserved victory mate! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    P.S. Let us know what cover you decide on getting for your prize...I am kind of curious... icon_cool.gif

    I think I'm going yellow 3* thor. I have him at 3/3/5 now so ill have him optimal after the ddq rotation. Other options would be a deadpool red (have him at 4). I got 4 blue hoods but he'll be up in ddq soon as well. I don't have enough 4*s for it to be worth it to take one. Xforce is my best at 1/2/4. So it feels like thor will help me the most both short and long term. Any thoughts on this?

    That sounds like a really good plan to me... star.pngstar.pngstar.pngicon_thor.png is one of the most powerful star.pngstar.pngstar.png in the game so it will be very useful to you! icon_cool.gif

    I guess that the argument for getting a star.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.png cover would be that they are harder to earn & the game seems to slowly be shifting towards them being more important to have on your roster...but I think that getting star.pngstar.pngstar.pngicon_thor.png maxed & ideally covered will end up being the better idea since you will be able to step up your game instantly rather than wait for later benefits.

    Good on you mate! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    That's a smart move. I would, too.

    Congrats pinko! I knew as soon as I saw it that it was the winner. I was really hoping to win just so I could make some heads explode by picking yelena icon_lol.gif

    Also, well done Pinko.

    Also, a question about sending PM's - do they just sit in the outbox until the person it is being sent to is online? Trying to sent David a PM advising my ingame name is Mu7an7 but it is just sitting there. Not that I am in a rush as yet.

    Thanks in advance.

    It's in the Outbox until the recipient reads it at which point it becomes Sent.

    Is it sad that almost all of these are highlighting issues with the game that need to be addressed, some of them not so minor?
    Gotta laugh to prevent yourself from crying right?

    Still, pretty great. Thanks to all who made these.

    Honestly, I was quite surprised that the devs chose some of those that bashed parts of the game and them. Good on them for having a sense of humor about it.

    Remember that we play the game as normal players too. So when I finally finished the push for Kamala just to restart it again for Kingpin, yeah... I probably looked/felt about like Frodo there. And yes, definite thank you to all that put in their time for this. Great laughs (and groans) were had all around!

    There were tons of good ones and the winners are well deserved. My honorable mention goes to Miles for "Shut up, match hint" it made me laugh when I saw it and now it is what I think when the game gets impatient with me.
