This is disturbing. You folks want to hijack a feature designed to bring attention to things like warlords in Africa and other things that escape a WORLD WIDE NEWS SERVICE ... to save a game?
Y'all are little better than crack addicts desperate for a fix.
i guess, you are right....
an event that is changing the way the gaming industry is going to look at sunsetting projects isnt news.
People standing up to faceless corperate decisions isnt news.
People concerned about the jobs, welfare of others, etc being cost isnt news.
So...
in your world.. you just take what the man gives you, sit down, shut up, be quiet, because you have no voice, no say, no right to be heard.
funny.. you dont seem that type.
I think you are just trolling for the sake of trolling. -

Anyone see this attached to the article?

CNN PRODUCER NOTE 'I started playing [City of Heroes] in 2005, took a few years off, and came back to the game a few months ago at the request of my son who lives several states away, so I have an emotional stake in this [planned shutdown], like many others.'

Sweet, the new version of the video made it in time. Too bad you're still using an screenshot from the old version.
Still, Thank you for the amazing video! -

Affect.. you make it happen... Effect.. you change it.. so we are not changing change but making change happen.
Where do we go from here? Continue the message. Keep playing, convince people to download it perhaps.
I dont know if this means we will get a lot more coverage as a vetted iReport or not.. I mean, we had about 5000 views to begin with.
I think.. its a lever to show validity to our cause, but its a tool, one of many. It was a good mark to hit, but I think the real issue is to continue to press on how this is not a bunch of whiney gamers, but organizers, people who set up real hero, play the game with their grandparents, etc. -
Its now CNN vetted & official.
-
So CNN asked me to do a new report, with a different screenshot.
I merged the update into the main story.
Im a little bummed we couldnt just edit the existing one and keep the comments and views.. but ...
"dont worry, this will get a lot more views when vetted"
Fingers crossed:

They are talking to me. I dont know if that means a formal vetting on the report, or they are doing their own. since they want another shot, it likely means vetting... but thats still good.
-
awesome and thanks for the shots.
I was going for a replacement for the main article http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-838027 so probably should have given more direction. :P
I got a few myself and from other people.. so far so go.
And the flashmob idea.. fun.
I may do more. Pick a random server, clone costumed toon, and pick a location! Level 1 underware flashmob at the zig, anyone?
-
Eeep! send me your shots. paindancer@paindancer.com

CNN has asked me to take a new shot for the article.
How many people can meet me in front of Atlas in the next 20 minutes -

Quote:Awesome. Since it was done for promotional/press release, I think we are in the clear using it. If you want to send david my way, please feel free to do so.Originally Posted by EepEep
It was most likely taken by David Lewis, our internal guy at Paragon Studios. For shots like this, he actually just used demorecord.
He would fly slowly with demorecord to take a group shot, and then parse through the demorecord file to:
1) remove any characters that may have had an infringing costume
2) remove characters that artistically weren't fitting (i.e. for a screenshot on a retail box or a screenshot for Marketing / PR).
I remember that we occasionally would have to remind players to stop using certain emotes, or stop using powers during these screen capture/demorecord sessions. One time, there were two instances of Atlas Park, and when the group in Atlas Park 1 was getting too uncooperative/rowdy, we just used the group of players in Atlas Park 2.
Best,

Thank you! -
Quote:understood. Im hoping they might be able to give a clear answer on press released images.Originally Posted by Leandro
You forget, something like this is what they'd have to ask their legal department about. And they no longer have a legal department (Zwilinger stated as much in the latest Twitch.tv broadcast, as a reason why no giveaways could be done before the shutdown). So, nobody who's left on Paragon Studios can give a firm answer on this.
BTW, Lenardo, could I have your permission to use your video as an alternate if CNN does want some other options? -
Nod, perhaps War Witch or zwillinger might have some thoughts for me.

Thanks for the help.
I think the real stumbler may be that NCSoft owns all the imagery.
CNN's talking to me about vetting my article.
-
I used this in the CNN iReport, finding it in Google under public domain. I would like to verify it is ok to continue to use it.
Please send me a PM about it ASAP if you know who did.

It wont please everyone, but it seems to be doing the job as the view count gets close to the 4000 person mark. Best thing people can do is promote it in game and out. Get it on your guild MOTD and server channels if you can.
Green lights are key. -

Well done. Well done.
I have to say, it was a giggle to see the HTML link for it being bounced around not just by me at the rally. -
Heheh!
iReporter Paindancer crouching on the rail on the first shot! Excellent! -
Im at thhe rally now.
Amazing.
Exactly the type of virtual social network I was writing about.
May have to update the article. -

Its still growing in views, but still needs everyone to push it. Keep it up, especially giving it referrals. -
Its appreciated.
