Pepsiman

But I guess it needs to be done.

There are far too many people from far too many channels for me to remember to mention here. Let me just say that is has been a pleasure to have teamed/chatted/argued with so many of you over the past 8+ years.

And I just realized the strange bit of coincidence/irony/whatever you want to call it:

About a week after I acquired a new PC, I decided to get a new game that could actually be run on the new rig. So I picked Star Wars Galaxies. The game itself had been around for almost a year, I think, and while I liked the background, I wasn't thrilled with the game play.

A few days later my co-worker mentioned another MMO about superheroes called City of Heroes, so I picked it up. After installation, I fired up the client, picked the first server on the list, and created BananaDude, a MA/SR scrapper. He didn't last long, once I figured out that playing a blaster was more fun to me, and Pepsiman was born.

8+ years later, and the game that I'm playing most as City of Heroes fades away is Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Bookend MMOs.

If anyone want to find me online after midnight Friday, I can be found on Facebook, Twitter, SWTOR, STO, TSW, DCUO, MWO.

Farewell, Guardian. You all will have a special place in my heart.

Never got around to posting this picture, drawn by my nephew shortly after I told him that my game was shutting down:

Good luck to you, sir. And thank you.

Ya still owe me a diet Pepsi, though.

Posted on Facebook:

CoH/Guardian was here for me exactly 8 years ago while I was dealing with my mom's pancreatic cancer and her last days in the hospital. [Today] (9/1) is the anniversary of her passing.

I said it before and I'll say it again: you are my family, as much as anyone can be online, and I thank you all for being there for me.

*gnaw randomly* o_o

Confirmed: not gonna make it this time, and not because of kidney stones, like before. My buddy has Giants tix against the Padres on that day.

Zwillinger will have to buy me a Diet Pepsi when the next one rolls around. Unless of course I manage to make it down there for Friday night stuffz. o_o

Have fun storming the castle!

Sad to hear of another member of the CoH family has passed on. My condolences to her family. May the perpetual light shine upon her.

But... my smuggler just got his Wookie companion in SWTOR... :/
