  1. As always, Michelle, I envy your talent, and have to say that you rock...with REAL ROCKS! Thanks for that (and Happy Thanksgiving!).
  2. I'm thankful for the folks who created and maintain CoH, as they've given me over five years of excitement, entertainment, and a blissful distraction from a life that far too often is hard road and thorn bushes rather than the beer and skittles it should be.

    I'm thankful that they've allowed me to actually be a PART of this game, from working on the CoH comic arc, to helping with the Ouroboros arc that adapts the comics, to working on the new Guest Architect story. (And I'm double-dog thankful for the Cyrus Thompson statue in King's Row, by the way; every time one of my heroes goes by it, I stop and salute, and get a lump in my throat...every darned time).

    And I'm really thankful for the player base of this game, and for the folks on these boards especially. I read a lot of message boards, mainly for professional reasons, but this is the one that's most made me feel like family (OK, sometimes it's the Manson family, but still...). I've become, if I may be so presumptuous, friends with many of you folks, I've gotten all kinds of assistance both in and out of the game, and hey, I've entertained my girlfriend by reading her countless posts about my pants or the lack thereof (poor girl; she has to witness that horror IN PERSON).

    Anyway, have a very happy Thanksgiving, and remember: don't overeat. It means there will be less for me...

    And if you can't find #4-6 anywhere else, Kavaki, let me know and I'll trudge through some comic boxes and see if I can find 'em. I didn't get contributor copies, but I picked up a few to sign at cons and such and it's always possible I might have a couple left.

    But yeah, I'd recommend the trade paperback collection of the first six.

    No, it's the fact that I don't know what "Distrubing" means!

    Probably a smart move. Granny is all hands. She put the "octo" in octogenarian...

    Then come over here and sit on Granny's lap...

    You might be if you watched me roleplay her. She's a senior citizen who discovered her fire powers when she began having hot flashes, and now she's out there GGILF-ing it up.

    By the way, I've been disturbed by the title of this thread for hours now!

    Now, why haven't you gotten Bob Burden and Neil Gaiman writing arcs too? Hey? Well? We're waiting!!!!
    A Bob Burden arc would be a sublime experience...

Judging from this thread and some ingame chatting I saw last night, there are a lot of players who like me, are learning about these people for the first time. I'd like to see more of this. A lot more.
    Shred, that's exactly the kind of post the folks who did those arcs would love to hear. I think it's a great way of exposing CoH and the work of the authors to a new audience.

    Hey, has Nakayama done an arc yet? Get him in here!

    Loved both those books. I always wanted to write Justice Machine (seems unlikely now).
