It's Sailor Stabby on the U.S.S. EVIL!

 

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.

 

     Well, it's not my submarine, actually, but I wish I was its captain. This ship leads to one of the missions in City of Villains, but I hope in the near-future quality players like me will get the super-cool power, "Summon Submarine". I have doubts, though.

 

Okay, enough already with the W00TING ROBOTS!!!

 

     Say a big "Hello" to my pal, Mad Cow Manifest and his Amazing W00ting Robots. He and his automated bovine kin are sure good to have in a fight. An all-around class act, Mad Cow Manifest enjoys sweeping through mission maps with his Metallic Cow-Like Creatures Of Death. Send him a "w00t" /tell on Pinnacle and I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

 

"Bow to my Electrical Studliness, Babe!"

 

     Another cool 'n groovy friend I have is Dead Belladonna. She's really fun to be with in missions, beating up heroes, or just hanging around. We were running through a mission when whom should we encounter but the helpful NPC, 'Ohmtown'. Dead Belladonna was immediately stricken by the manliness of his pectoral muscles and began worshipping him. I, of course, was a bit jealous...I mean, c'mon. This guy may have an abdomen like a six-pack and a bazillion volts running through his manly pecs, but...I'm STABBY, dammit. Don't go with him, 'Bella! He...he won't treat you like a queen...like this poor lonely clown will...sniff...

 

     I guess I haven't been impressing her lately by acting like this:

 

Sometimes I get the little nervous around the beautiful women.

 

     It's not my fault! Dead Belladonna has a power that resurrects the dead, but exactly one minute after re-animation the poor Villain gets a bad case of gastro-intestinal distress. I'm not sure who to be more concerned about: the developers of 'City of Villains' for including this 'regurgitation animation' (heh), or Dead Belladonna for being so amused at the sight of me upchucking. But like I said in my last journal post, there's not many websites out there that have pictures of clowns throwing up, so I'm going to put on as many as I can. Send your pictures of carnival entertainers being grossly ill to: stabbytclown@gmail.com.

 

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto!!

 

     I had to really reduce the image size of this picture to get everything in. I think the Robot Henchmen are the most popular type chosen in 'City of Villains' by the Mastermind archetype. Robots are just plain fun, really, clanking around and shooting things with cool lasers. But get two or three Robot Masterminds on your team and, well, there's like a million berserk R2D2's running all over the place. That's good in a fight, but bad when six robots and a clown try to squeeze through a little doorway.

 

"Gee, what a big mouth...no, Dead Belladonna, I wasn't talking to you! No! OW! STOP NO!!!"

 

     Here's a neat pic of Dead Belladonna and me standing in the mouth of a weird fish-like face in a spoooooky cavern. Some of the caves are just so frickin' HUGE in CoV. Personally, caves kinda make me nervous. You never know when you'll stumble across a hibernating Bigfoot or something.

 

Speaking of hibernating:

 

"Can you say 'Team Wipe', boys and girls? Good. I knew you could."

 

     Here's an awkward situation for an assassin clown. I was backing up to re-hide when the Arch Villain boss under attack fired out a MASSIVE grenade-like blast with lethal area-of-effect damage. I was just outside of the burst radius, but the rest of my team were not as fortunate. I heard a "PHOOMPH" noise, then a loud explosion, and then...quiet. Everything was so...quiet...

 

In five years this will become a common sight on the sidewalks of real-world Japan.

 

     Here's a "Jump Bot Incinerator", one of the many mobs found in 'City of Villains'. These robotic fellows are hard to take down: they have lots of hit points, can fly, and "shoot lasers from their frickin' heads", to quote another famous Super Villain.

 

Sometimes I insult people in game and then totally forget about it, and then they'll track me down and yell at me for awhile.

 

     I'm including this picture for a couple of reasons: to let everyone meet 'Dark Operative', a cool guy whom I've sometimes traded friendly personal insults with on the broadcast channel. But he's a fellow Assassin like me, so he's all right in Stabby's Big Book O' Stabbing. The second reason is to include a picture of a pirate-based player avatar (in this case, "Captain- Freeze"). When playing CoV, you'll encounter quite a few Villains with an "Ar, Matey" look to them, because the developers included various pirate clothing and body items in the avatar creation screen. It's cool to be a pirate, almost as cool as being a clown. If I hadn't chosen the road of Evil Clownhood, I would've gone with being a pirate. Maybe I should have become a pirate-clown...a clown-pirate. Pirate clown? Clown Pirate?

 

Great, just great. Getting threatened by someone who looks like they work at a one-hour optical store in a mall.

 

     Pirate clown...Clown pirate...hmmm...Hmmm....

 

    I..I just don't know...

 

    Clown...pirate? Pirate...clown? My brain is buzzing like those amulets being worn by the confused androids on that classic 'Star Trek' episode, "I, Mudd".

 

   Piiirrraaaatttee....Cllowwwwn??? Cllowwwwn...Pirattee? Does...not...compute...

 

   Er...anyways...here's a couple more pictures for you to enjoy, and we'll wrap up another successful episode of Stabby T. Clown's Weblog Of....wait for it....EVIL!!!!!!!!

 

Wherever I go, I keep hearing the same thing...

 

     Here is a lovely picture of me getting rifle butt-smashed in the face by an irate Cage Consortium Guard. They didn't like me because I was just trying to make a withdrawal from their bank via "cutting out the middleman", if you know what I mean and I think you do, hehehehe. Stabby Stabby!

 

    And as the cherry on this evil blog entry sundae o' EVIL!, here's a lovely scenic picture of me standing on top of a very large statue:

 

"One day, they're gonna make a statue of me, Stabby T. Clown...and I'm gonna stand on it, too."

 

     I'm on top of the world, Ma! Look, don't tell anybody Stabby said this, but...'City of Villains' ain't all about the Evil(!), y'know. Sometimes a bad guy like me just likes to find a private spot and watch the sunrise...maybe contemplate life...think about the philosophical ramifications of his last stabbing. All evil mutant clowns aren't shallow, y'know....
