  1. When the OPortal was first being developed, it was a true Temp Power -- something you needed to regain every now and again. Relatively early in the process, it was decided that was stupid and it should be permanent. During that transition, it should have been moved from Temp Power to Accolade...but I didn't think of it at the time.

    So, mea culpa.

    Yeah...I'll get right on that.

    I thought I would have at least some Justice street cred after mentioning several Justice players. I have been playing COH since May of 2004. I haven't been an active member of the Justice Community since I started working at Paragon in 2008. My main is a tanker. Other than that I think I would reveal too much...
    Hmm...sounds like Tic-Toc! No, wait...

    Twitter is the devil, I don't have an account. Besides, Sean's cool!

    For those of you that know my secret identity, please don't blab. If you blab, I still have Skippy Sidekick and Arbiter Curry that are still working at Paragon and I will ask them to send you a one way ticket to Guardian and you can play with the catgirls.

    For those of you that don't know my identity, you can guess. I might able to give you a prize.

    I will let you know that I am not Bionic Flea, Eep Eep, or Tic-Toc.

    -Alpha Wolf
    Hey, Alpha Wolf -- If Black Pebble starts giving you any grief just remind him that a) He asked me to power level HIM and b) Fire Imps are "nerfed" (this will make him cry!)

    We were all already crazy. Black Pebble just made us hide it really well.

    PS: Black Pebble is the nuttiest of the bunch. Seriously!

    EDIT: FPARN!

    ALSO: "Takes Care of Pets" is still one of my favorite names for a character ever.
    What he said!

    Your posts about Sister Flames adventures and learning experiences were always bright spots for this former Dev.

    I haven't worked for Paragon since 12-31-2010 -- My Redname is long gone.

    City of Heroes has been a lifeline for me during some really rough times over the last 8 years. It's a place to play, unwind, argue with Math Smarties, and have fun. This game is the best of its kind. Good luck, and please post on your blogs, linkedIn pages and elsewhere where you wind up. If you're on the game, I'll know it's quality!
    Hear hear!
  11. something, something, PVP, something. Been there, done that.
  12. Amy's a cow! Rory waited for her for 2000 years, and she's whinging over a mere 36? Really?

    Jokes aside, I loved this episode.
  13. He was a huge Doctor Who fan, as evidenced by his handle and forum avatars. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his posts, even when he was criticizing my work.

    Sad news indeed.
  14. I'd never read Questionable Content until a few months ago. I've since caught up on the archives...really good stuff.

    Time Manipulation isn't actually a powerset; it's how they explain the lag.

    I know from experience, that just because it was recorded, doesn't mean anyone will get a chance to go back and watch it. Taking notes during the chat works better.

    Cost ratio. To be a success, a network show needs to pull in at least 5 million viewers, preferably 7-9 million. A Cable channel show can be a success at 2m viewers or less. Since there is less money on the line, and developing a series is relatively expensive, cable shows tend to get more leeway.

    At least, that's my understanding of it all.
  19. Great season finale; one heck of a cliffhanger!

    I'm with ObiWan -- too invested. It was a pretty big shock to the system at the end there.

    I loved Ryan and Esposito's interaction after the bar scene. Very well done!

    I could not agree with these two posts more. Behold truth!
