Some recent discoveries that would make good videos:

Down and Out - Tantric
Save Me - Poets of the Fall

Definitely a good start, and nice to see a hero who screws up drastically the first time he uses his powers.

Thanks for the nod, btw!

Loved some of the commentary.

It's not a guaranteed thing that this is for the trailers - it may be something the devs actually use, and I am not qualified in any way, shape, or form for game development (other than storyline writing). It's only a guess on my part that the Animator position is for video work.

But I do appreciate the votes of confidence...

EDIT: Also, I know that the guy who did the I-13 trailer has done some of their others, such as the I-11 and I-12 trailers, both of which I thought were quite good. Not everyone bats a thousand...

Your post on the bug reports might be better in this section, in case there are GMs who use that section to find stuff to assist with troubleshooting the tickets sent in to them. (At least, that's how we used to do things at the last IT place I worked at, but NCSoft might be different.)

Bah, study by osmosis... tie your textbooks to your head and you're good to go!

Seriously though, bummer that you've got finals, but good luck on those. At the very least, give yourself the occasional study break and run a mish or three.

One more building for the Hellions to set on fire.

I guess no CG anymore

Not necessarily... seems the latest job posting for NCNC is for an "Animator," among whose other job qualifications include:

* Solid familiarity with the animation tools of a major 3D package (Maya, Max, XSI)
* Excellent 3D animation skills as demonstrated by your demo reel

So it's entirely possible that they're looking at getting someone in there to do the CG thing and start doing videos like the CoV trailers.

And damn, I wish I knew either of those programs well enough to try for this myself.

I can always send you my list of 999 writing prompts.

If nothing else, even if you don't use the prompt itself, it gets you thinking...

SG Name: Star Patrol
SG Leaders: Agent Bowman, Agent Wright, Agent Sharpe, Agent Blake
SG Website (if any): http://www.star-patrol.net
SG Preferred Recruitment Method: See the website and click "JOIN."
Teamspeak/Ventrillo Server: None.
SG Peak Hours: Afternoons/evenings Mountain Standard Time, also a lot during LATE nights, MST
Other Info: The Star Patrol, like Longbow, is a specialized division of the Freedom Corps dedicated to 'getting the job done.' They refuse to play political games, take the jobs others can't (or won't), and will get their hands dirty in the process. Whether it's street-sweeping the Hollows or taking down the Rikti pylons, if it's mad, bad, and on the side of right, the Star Patrol is there.

We are an RP-friendly-but-not-required SG who enjoy teaming together and running TFs/Trials/arcs together. We run the gamut from lowbies through level 50s, are willing to help level teammates, and have been known to occasionally take a day to help all of us get certain badges or accolades (the uber-GM hunt all over Paragon City remains a perennial favorite). We DO have a required costume pattern (details on the SP website), primarily for when running with other SG members.

(We also have our archnemeses, the VG Nova Dominion. Fear us... er, them... er, yeah.)

Most importantly, we're here to have fun, but not at the expense of quality play time or at the expense of other players.

Well, THAT was certainly different! (And I love the "Only fighting Vahz" joke.) Hmmm... now I'll have to come up with a way to top that for I-14.

*toddles off to go plan*

Neat! Do keep going...

I'm still standing... yeah, yeah, yeah...

Yes, as far as I know, the Winter Event and Double XP weekend are still on target.

The new link, btw, is:

Leo came back coz he saw himself in the I-13 trailer.

Michelle

As of this morning, in with no problems. I think once they stopped having everyone and God trying to log in at the same time, they were able to reset/patch/fix/whatever the patchupdate, login, and server selection servers/routers.

And thus Kharmic Strike was born... yet another character I'll want art for... gotta love energy/pain corruptors.

Hey, if nothing else, it's something to watch while you're waiting to connect.

I wanna get another Posi/Tava picture... or else one of Synapse and Andrea Blake.

Have not run into a problem in terms of number of characters...

I HAVE run into problems in terms of how LONG the file is. I filmed for an hour and a half in Recluse's Victory and the launchers all choke.

More details about the OS X client are available in Positron's interview with Joystiq.

Wow, Zombie, I just saw that you included a link to my teaser! Thank you!

BTW, the TRAILER just went live, too, about two hours ago.

Got new info today from the Joystiq interview of Positron.

"Oh, you will also be able to choose what Contact hands out your story arc, or create your own Contact in the same manner as you would create a character or a boss."

Since all missions in the Architect are instanced, my guess would be that your "contact" will have you call them as opposed to actually encountering them in a zone. However that's just supposition on my part right now.

All RIGHT! Positron is gonna be handing out a new story arc!

Now if I could just get a clarification on whether the "three published" limit means three story arcs (ie, up to 15 missions if each arc has 5), or if it's three MISSIONS (in which case, if my story arc really has 5 missions, I can't publish a full arc).
