Aweson and hilarious! While I didn't care much for APB after trying it for a few days, I appreciate the customization and creative elements of it. This is a great example of that. Next I want to see someone do Mystery Inc. and the Mystery Machine van...but I don't know if you can create a dog suit ingame for someone to wear hehe.

And if they are zealous like Cryptic, these guys will be either be all put into random basic clothing, or banhammered.

APB is a character creator in search of a game.

Also, remember when City of Heroes got sued because their character creator was powerful enough to depict trademarked characters? I wonder when the makers of APB are going to get sued for TM infringement? Only a matter of time, really.

It's amazing how some people look at screenshot like this and smile and others spew crap from every orifice.

I bet Realtime Worlds would be clamping down on players for copywrite infringement long before it ever comes to that, Daemodand. And I bet they have something in their ToU/ToA that they can rev up if companies start squawking about misuse of their brands. You would be surprised, most games do...

...but for now, it's likely RW viewing it as harmless fun. And as Duulin aptly pointed out, so should you. :)

That enterprise is REALLY impressive. Laforge in an afro is hilarious.

Pretty sure this kind of thing is safe because it's pretty obviously parody, and thus protected.

If you'd made exact copies of Trek characters, the lawyers might have something to be evil about -- but the redshirt's biker `stache and the goldshirt's giant 70s `fro make it obvious that this is done as pop-culture comedy.

Funny stuff, too. Thanks!

I wish. I've been asking for a 1 shot kill sword that auto aims and hits people from 100 meters away, but they keep telling me that will never happen.

Here is me killing Ronald McDonald in closed beta. I actually ran him over with my van and I had to go out and check on his health.

I ran into Batman, Robin, Spiderman, and The Flash all at the same time. They were criminals, tailgating me from behind in a Van with N-Tecs. I died. Que 70's Batman death theme.

In the European Beta, I and a group of Enforcers had to deal with a criminal group of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I kid you not . . .
