Very nice. I've teamed with some good kids in my day, certainly better teammates than some I could name...
We don't have kids, but we do have cats... and our one cat loves the animation for AM, I have to be careful and keep him off my lap when I'm playing - he's learned which key fires off AM and I swear as God is my witness, he knows when it's done recharging and he'll fire it off.
Seriously.
I have witnesses.

I wish some of my teammates would fire off their AM as soon as it recharges. Instead they get it off once at the beginning of the mission and never again. Maybe your cat can teach them how to play better.
Too cute! What an awesome story

As a father of two i endorse this post. Thanks for a great read. GO SISTER FLAME!
_Wyll_, thanks for the great post!
I'm about to let my daughter of 8 play. Finally after a long while my Router let the other puter on the net. ??? Long story. But, I downloaded Coh on the puter and is now ready to play. I also have kinda tought my daughter to read from CoH and other things. She has said some of the hard names from game without me telling her. 
The smart Far.t! 
"every defender needs to fight. I don't care if you have to use BRAWL!"
This is pretty awesome. And cute. Also goes to show that some times kids can learn useful things from the strangest places. She sounds like a great player, too. I certainly wouldn't mind teaming with people playing as good as she does.
So yeah, what the poster before me said:
GO SISTER FLAME!

That's Hero 1's job (the new story bible guy). He just had a baby, so he should be a sucker for these questions...
Okay, Hero 1 (if you do vanity searches for your name like the other Devs, you'll see this), would you please answer the child's questions? If you can't, then she can rightfully claim your job.

Castle sent the link over all of us. War Witch, Positron and I are all laughing and enjoying the read. As many have said, it's nice to see stories like this come up. It also makes me glad I updated the profanity filter yesterday 
As far as answering her questions, I'd be more than happy to, but something tells me my answers would be no where as interesting as hers.
I'm sure someday Hero 2 will join the forces of justice and hopefully people like Sister Flame will be there to help him along.

I don't care about the answers. I just want Nasty Attack Cars in the game. I think I'd buy a whole game called Nasty Attack Cars for that matter.
I think this may be one of the best threads ever.

Nice.
She's probably better than half the 'heroes' I team with. Funnier anyway.
What a great story. I wish more tales like this one made it to the forums.
that is freakin adorable.
I had the urge to hug a large teddy bear after reading that post.
Your daughter now has a fan club sir.

This thread is just too cute. It's a nice break away from the rest of the forums. This is my new favorite thread. I might send it to my mom (since I won't have kids anytime soon).

Extremely cute, and a good example of why parents should get involved with their kid's gaming. Or vice versa...

Brother Frost gets a nod too for letting her hang out with some questionable people at times.
That's great!! Best thread I've read!

What a great thread.
... and I've got a new sig from it :-)
This warmed my heart...what a great post, and a great daughter you have! It really puts the rest of this stuff into perspective.
BTW, I, too, heartily endorse a new Clicky-Clack badge, and must see it soon!

I know the red names are reading! Clicky-Clack should at least be the name of a Clockwork boss.
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
Very cute! I just found out I am having a girl, I hope she likes video games because both myself and my husband do! What a fun way to spend time together, and what priceless memories to have! Thanks for sharing!
"Here come the Clicky Clacks in their Nasty Attack Cars!" That'd be awesome.
Truly impressed with Sister Flame. Sounds like she plays better than a lot of the "adults" in this game.

142: If I have children and subsequently grandchildren, I will keep my three-year-old granddaughter near me at all times. When the hero enters to kill me, I will ask him to first explain to her why it is necessary to kill her beloved grandpa. When the hero launches into an explanation of morality way over her head, that will be her cue to pull the lever and send him into the pit of crocodiles. After all, small children like crocodiles almost as much as Evil Overlords and it's important to spend quality time with the grandkids.
