'Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed clown...

 

This clown is just too good-lookin' for words.

 

     Snazzy, eh? These are my new silks for the more formal assassination occasions. I particularly like the Jester Cape...once again the developers of City of Villains have made avatar customization a heck of a lot of fun. I made this outfit at level 20, when you get a new costume slot.

 

     This Evil Journal Entry will feature various random images taken from my adventures:

 

I'm a king bee baby, buzzin' round your hive...a-buzz-buzz...

 

     Here's a snapshot of my friend Bloodseeker, who is also a big part of the supergroup of which I'm a member, The New World Order. He's proudly showing off the temporary jetpack power available in one of the missions. Looks pretty damn snazzy. I haven't tried it yet, and I'm itching to try, 'cause I want to buzz the new villains on Mercy Island. I imagine the sight of a flying evil mutant clown will give them a calm, peaceful introduction to the game.

 

And now a picture of me, Stabby T. Clown, vomiting:

 

Wait, guys, I don't feel so gooOOO HOAARRRKKKK!!!!

 

Damn side-effects of the resurrection power! You're good to go for about a minute, but then you get all weak and, er, "review your groceries". Usually right in the middle of a fight, and if not in the middle of a fight, in front of all your team-mates. Who then laugh. Which these people did, at me. Dammit......EVIL!

 

I guess there's a good side to this experience: how many websites have a picture of a clown upchucking? Not many, I bet. I feel so dang unique.

 

Spare change, Mister Giant Hood Ornament...sir? Hello, sir?

 

     As the above evidence illustrates, sometimes I like to take time off from difficult missions and annoying heroes in Siren's Call by hanging out at the docks and asking for spare change from my fellow villains. Who all insult me, or ignore me:

 

Please mister...I have seventeen little evil mutant clown mouths to feed...

 

     But what can you really expect from people who are supposed to be evil? Uh, I mean...EVIL! One is not going to find charity amongst the citizens ruled by the iron fist of Lord Recluse, oh-no-sir-ree-BOB! But that doesn't stop this clown from tryin':

 

Hey, you...yeah, YOU! C'mere...gimme some money...yeah..come 'ere...

 

     Damn miserly Super Villains....

 

     Speaking of Villains being evil, I get this a lot:

 

Well, I can't dance, I can't sing...

 

     Many players see fit to protest Stabby T. Clown, or his dancing. I find this practice highly annoying. Almost every day I get supposed "ally" Villains waving signs of a degratory nature in my face. It seems that A LOT of people just don't like clowns, evil or otherwise. I don't get it, myself. Children love clowns, so why do adults get so weirded out by them (and me)? I used to entertain kids before the horrible accident occurred which mutated my genes and gave me incredible evil superpowers of assassination, y'know. And the kids thought I was GREAT. Now, the children of Paragon City just scream when they see me...they just scream...sniff...

 

Oh, here's a picture of me just hangin' around...

 

Now, really...are puns of this nature necessary?

 

Get it? Get it? Just "hangin' around"? I'm there with those skeletons...they're hanging, and I'm standing...they...you see...WELL, FINE! I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY AT THE TIME!

 

Those wacky superheroes and their dying all over the Villain base...

 

Here's an odd picture: some Tanker of a superhero was "hanging around" (heh) the Super Villain base for some inexplicably insane reason, and predictably got wiped out faster than an intoxicated grandmother on a skateboard. Not losing one second, Stabby indulged himself in his favorite activity, Dancing On A Superhero's Head.

 

One thing I really like about City of Villains is that assassinating even the NPC's is a lot of fun:

 

"I feel so lonely out here...guess I'll just sit alone, maybe someone will walk by and be my friend..."

 

     I swear the "mobs" in City of Villains have emotional states: they get depressed, happy, excited, etc. This guy was just sitting out in the middle of nowhere, seemingly in a total funk. Well, a little ol' prescription of Stabby! Stabby! cured his blues.

 

    Sometimes in City of Villains a perfect combination of elements come together and I manage to snap a really cool picture:

 

Hey...didn't I see you guys on the cover of a "Heavy Metal" magazine?

 

     Wild, eh? EERIE. BRING MORE SOULS TO THE CRIMSON KING, hehehe. Now, that looks EVIL!

 

     And now, gratuitous eye candy:

 

Mmm, mmm, MMM! J-Lo got NOTHIN' on you! FYI: there is a large percentage of male gamers who play female avatars so they can stare at this all day.

 

     It need not be said, of course, but Super Villainesses are always cuter than Super Heroines. I mean, they got that "spark of Evil!" happening, y'know? You're never sure if your Villain girlfriend is either going to rub your back or stab you in the eye with a soldering iron. Ah, Love....Evil Love!

 

The Day The Clown Died...

 

      Yes, it's true...even Stabby T. Clown sometimes (RARELY) gets overwhelmed by The Forces Of Good and takes a dirt nap. Fortunately I keep my Arachnos Health Insurance premiums paid up every month, so I'm up and about in no time at all.

 

"No, I don't want a hug...I SAID I DON'T WANT A HUG!"

 

     A cool temporary power you can get is "Summon Shivan" by collecting meteor fragments in Siren's Call. These "pets" are a lot of fun, and very handy in combat! The temporary power only gives you five summoning charges, and the pet Shivans don't last a long time, so one has to use them in a strategic manner. Yes. Cute, ain't they?

 

Finally, some respect...

 

     Not all Super Villains are Stabby Haters, fortunately. Sometimes instead of protest signs, I get "The 10 Rating Emote Of Approval". Ah, thanks, you wacky Villains, you.

 

     Another big pic, but worth it (I do optimize my graphics for the web, y'know...):

 

This sure ain't the local Unitarian's...

 

     Some of the maps in City of Villains just amaze me. This particular locale was in a temple, but I won't give away any spoilers. If anyone wants more pictures from this map, just leave a comment below and I'll post more in my next journal entry.

 

     Well, I think that about wraps it up for another entry in Stabby's Weblog Of Evil....oh, wait...there's one more picture. I don't know what it is, but let's have a look:

 

Oh for the love of....

 

     Ah, geez, will you people give a clown a break?!?!
