So many old people; we'd need special accessible seating.

I think that I speak for a lot of folks out there when I say that I have little real understanding of the larger implications of this change, but I intend to jump to immediate conclusions about the effects it will have on the game.

Amen, brother. Amen. Or sister. Whichever.

My feeling: Sounds very interesting. I'll have to wait and see how everything pans out, but there are some encouraging signs. A change like this is dramatic and large and thus scary. Also, since there are still so many unknowns -- even MORE scary.

Thus, clearly, we're all going to die. Alone. In the rain.

But before that happens, I have a few words from someone who wishes to address to every one of you who's been moaning and puling about how you're owed refunds because you paid for something that still works and that you're still using.

Morpheus: "Welcome... to the real world."

I have this image of people showing up at the supermarket on a Sunday and punching out a samples lady in produce because she's passing out free cookies that are exactly the same as the ones they just paid for.

I paid for CoH in Oct. 2004, because I wanted to try it out at that time. I later pre-ordered CoV, so I could check out the beta, and play it once it went live. I believe (although I could be wrong, I can't be bothered to check) that I paid more for CoH back in 2004 than its current sticker price. That's how things work.

Oh yes, I paid for the little GvE package online so I could get the extra goodies that were given to those who actually bought the boxed version of GvE, because I thought they would be cool/handy/shiny. Why wasn't I just given the goodies for free? I figured it was because I hadn't paid for them yet. This seemed fairly simple.

Now, I hear that those who paid only for CoH, or CoV, will soon have access to both, without having to pay like I did. Know what I think? Great idea. Sounds good. Hope it boosts participation in both games. Go forth, and multiply.

I want the Powers that Be to encourage more people to buy and play the game. I want there to be more participation, from more people. In order to do that, the company must provide sufficient incentives. Freebies. Goodies. Again, that's how things work.

If you paid for the privilege of playing long ago, then pat yourself on the back. You made the right choice back then. Well done.

Awesome. Very funny, and good syncing with the music. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Very funny. Great work.

One of my lasting memories of my first foray into Paragon City was seeing a policeman stroll toward a group of Hellions, freeze, then scarper off, hands fluttering.

Hmph. Pathetic.
