    Yo!

    Welcome back, A_C! Glad to hear you're doing well with your classes - you seem to have (almost) everything under control, and as long as you can stick with that, you should do just fine.

    For more info on what they did with I-16, I'll just refer you to my I-16 trailer. The major highlights are there, so you know what to look for on the forums.

    Enjoy your 2xp freekend!

    But they can do it and justify it as "research."

    Call it an Omega raid, in honor of the first heroes who went there
    Aw, crap. Now I wanna make a mock-up ad for this. Except I can't think of a map that would work that might look like the Rikti Homeworld.

  7. I knew there was a reason I jump through these hoops these days when I make videos. By year's end, you should be seeing at least four new ones, all of which have music I have the rights to use.

  8. Sorry, the job search and asthma fit have reduced my response time. Besides, I am one of those who PROUDLY kept the underscore in her name, so I don't often pick up on it when someone invokes "Dark Respite."

    Did I hear my name?

    And "best" is debatable, Ad... I MIGHT qualify for "most prolific," but "best is debatable.

    To answer Animorph's question, if you visit the ParagonWiki site and search for Demo Record, you'll find several links there, not only on how to actually record in-game, but programs you can use to customize your footage, opinions of various video editing software, and so on.

    Don't forget to post a link to your finished product in the Fan Videos thread, along with the category for your video type so Dark Ether can update the list!

  10. Besides, Clamor's already gotten dissed in the comics when she asks Statesman, "You wouldn't hit a woman, would you?"... and he promptly decks her in the face.

    THEN she gets pwned by Sister Psyche.

    And based just on the original screenshots posted at the top... Arakhn gets my vote.

  11. Now THERE is a "Master of..." Task Force that every player could get behind.

    "Master of Rikti Task Force." Go through the portal and whale on every Rikti you can find, WITHOUT temp powers, NO chance to buy additional inspirations, a 2 hour time limit...

    ... while keeping Fusionette, Faultline, and Infernia alive the ENTIRE time.

  12. Would it be too much to hope for to see Synapse steal Blue Steel's shield to use that as his toboggan and go zooming down the ski slope?

    Either that, or jazz it up by having Positron standing at the top of the slope, and at random intervals, he 'experiments' with some new 'aerodynamic design improvement' on the slope that causes bizarre effects as you race down to the bottom.

    Or maybe have Infernia routinely pegging the slope with fire blasts to melt the ice, causing a deluge of water to slush you right off the slope to land in a heap, while Glacia has to then refreeze the slope...

    I wish there were more of those sorts of vids involving CoH. A Vahzilok one would complete my life...
    This thread might interest you then, Cashoo...

    A mostly complete listing of CoH/CoV videos done by the community

    From funny to frightening, heroic to harrowing to humorous to helpful, you can find a little of everything here. Note: I accept no responsibility for how much time you lose watching these.

  16. For future reference, they are at ftp.coh.com - these are most of the videos for COH/COV (a few have still not been uploaded there).

  17. I don't know if that's a restriction or not - I think they'd have mentioned it if it were. Better to submit stuff anyway and have to retract it than not submit stuff and find out you could have.

    Seriously, how could you NOT use this woman's work? It's the best thing since sliced bread, maybe even better.

    If you don't use Sam's work I'm going to be highly disappointed and think that your own videographers are insanely jealous and are staging a boycott out of professional jealousy.
    It all depends on what they're looking for - if they want character videos or music vids or "hey check out our SGs", that's different than what I do. Besides, I know the official PS videographer and am on good terms with him; he and I have joked that we keep each other on our toes to constantly improve our videos and how the community receives them.

  18. Lunar, if you haven't already, don't forget to go onto the FAN VIDEOS thread in the Multi-Media section and post a link to the video there as well. That way, the next time Dark Ether updates the list, your video can be included. Make sure to categorize it as well (see the list for the categories).

  20. JW, don't let that stop you. For all we know, they may want a "30 second commercial jingle" and not a "symphony." Submit your stuff.

    Come on, guys, this is your chance. Get your stuff in front of the rednames and help support our game.

    Currently we're looking for the actual files, rather than a link to youtube or a similar type site. So if you have your videos up and ready for download, please shoot me a PM or post in this thread!

    Thanks,

    How many do you want? Files are available for download on my website.

    Thats right, we're going to be testing our new and improved Halloween Event on the Training Room this Friday (October 2nd). So get your clients patched up, and be ready for more details tomorrow!
    Is this going to be worth me doing a teaser for it?

  25. Yes, it sucks that the EU players get excluded - but legal issues being what they are, I really doubt Paragon Studios has the resources to get the legal okay from every nation that has players in order to meet prize eligibility requirements.

    Request to Niviene, Avatea, or Mod8 - would you please edit the primary post to include a legal (and redname) explanation for the exclusion of RI and the EU players? I think it would go a long way for explaining to the worldwide folks that it's not about you guys shafting the players, it's the LAWYERS shafting the players.

    PS - by the way, Niv, Av, or Mod8 - tell whoever is updating the HeroCon website that it's "In-Canon", not "In-Cannon" - we are not shooting arcs into a net.
