If I say loser?
Anyways, was a good listen! 
Anyone care to summarize?
I'm feeling lazy.
Listen to Survival Guide. Because you should!
"You have a mom? I thought you were conceived through pure win?" ~Spinestradamus
"reading ur posts is like reading a stop sign, its red oddly shaped and makes me come to a complete stop...then i go" ~anon rep; thank you
tl;dr version:
Mostly: Basically info on the inspiration behind the different characters backgrounds.
Side Note: Small talk about how the Wedding Event was.
Most Interesting Note: War Witch gives I12 info March 21-24th
Everyday I come home and check the ANNOUNCEMENTS thread in hopes of seeing something intersteing and exciting like new patches or teasers for Issue 12.......and every day I am sad.
YES! Freakin' awesome! I love listening to game company podcasts. 
Playstation 3 - XBox 360 - Wii - PSP
Remember kids, crack is whack!
Samuel_Tow: Your avatar is... I think I like it

Yea, that's about the biggest thing I read as I went through the transcript. This, then 2nd being they're thinking about doing more real events like the wedding on V-Day.. not entirely thrilled about that, but eh. Redo-ing Posi's a very nice step. Now, do that, and turn your guns on Quarterfield...

Wouldn't mind if all TF/SF in the game were looked at and maybe revised or overhauled in some ways.
Please note this isn't a cry for the nerf bat. More of a "Can we improve upon them"
Also an option to not have to see the cutscenes would be nice.
I thought this was interesting
MM: Yeah, were constantly watching the forums and seeing what the players are hypothesising as to what the storylines are going to be. We also have to be careful because theres a lot of lore that was written for City of Heroes, and weve only told the players a drop in the bucket of it. So, sometimes we cant actually remember what weve told players, and whats just written in The Bible. So if we need to alter something, or change something well have to actually go to the players knowledge-base, like ParagonWiki where theyve pulled everything out of the game, and see OK, we havent told them that or We have told them that,

I've got to frame that or something.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

I was excited when I saw this comment, but he just said "it's a goal". It's been "a goal" for a long time. I'll believe it when I see it.
My arcs are constantly shifting, just search for GadgetDon for the latest.
The world beware! I've started a blog
GadgetMania Under Attack: The Digg Lockout
BaB, Posi, Castle, ect. should do this for a north american version!
my sister listens to the D&D podcast, and even when they're not talking about D&D strictly, it's very entertaining simply because it's Mike Mearls and Dave Noonan.
It might be a good way to get a clearer message than a short post that subsequently gets misinterpreted. 
~Qwerty
Podcasts are so 2006. This feels kind of like a flashback mission. What's next? Are the devs going to get their own Myspace page?

Remaining Items of Powers Removed Fri. March 14th
#10362470 - 03/10/08 06:02 PM
During the maintenance period on the morning of Friday, March 14th we will be conducting additional server maintenance to remove the remaining Items of Power on the Live US servers. The fact that a few Items of Power have remained has been a bug that we are now rectifying. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hey, good job!!!
Now this means, of course, that you guys will FINALLY be fixing the Cathedral of Pain Trial and getting it up and running so the REST of us can get our shot at Items of Power, too, right?
Right?
RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!
Because a great many of us have been PAYING you to do just that for oh, say, over a YEAR, now.
Thanks in advance for doing your jobs.

If we can save this game, I promise I will never complain about Travel Power Suppression again! You have my word on it!

Or just announce that the CoP Trial isn't going to be implemented, its going to be of minor interest to alot of folks.
Oh and we haven't been paying them to fix the CoP specifically, I'm more interested in the new content going forward rather than flogging a near dead equine
Or you can just do the wise thing, which would be to assume that the CoP is in the G file. If it gets in then you'll just be suprised and happy as a clam. If not... well you'll not have lost anything since you never really gained anything. 
I don't care if CoP ever comes back as long as they give me that badge. grr.
Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
If there is a SG anywhere on any server that is still barely active and possesses an IoP then THIS would be the time to speak up!!!
I'll travel to any server and make a run on an IoP for the badge, if anybody can let me know they own one!
I had no idea there were a few still laying around...
The Widow's Dark Hand - leader of Faux Pas
Champion Server
Tee Hee!
So are IoPs gone from the game for good? What is going on with these in general? I am sure I missed a ton of info on all this I don't visit the forums very often.
First huzzah on redesigning the Posi TF. Also do Synapse and Quarterfield please.
As for Ghost Wife...how about Merry Widow? *nod nod*
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

Check the badger section of the forums, dolly. There's an SG on Infinity that still has theirs right now, iirc.

Well, as long as they don't also remove the badge for the IoP. I spent $20 moving my badger to infinity to get it and then back to Champion.
Make it like the Celebrant badge. There for a while, but if you snooze, you lose.
