Dev Posts = Twitter.

See...

See what? That Dev info only comes out through Twitter these day?

jk

But if you're still listening, I saw a pic from Comic-Con that showed the phantom army with a two-color pattern. Do we get to choose the pattern, or is there just the a default combo?

Wow... "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie..."

That aside... Look forward to seeing what y'all came up with!

So very, very cruel.

The worst was how many immediate "good riddance" responses I got

No, not really...but that would have been bad.

Dude, I could feel the blood draining from my face. You have no idea how much "DOOOOM" went through my head. I figured if someone as dedicated to the game as you was leaving, while Power Customization is still in closed beta, CoH was in some kind of trouble.

HAHAHAHAHA

That's great, heehee!

Don't even joke about that BABs!!!

Wait, "Good riddance"? Did I miss something?

Yes, because what we're in dire need of is for the storytelling in popular media to get even more shallow...

The positive effect of Iranian Twitter use in that particular case is debatable too. I followed the election unrest from several sites and there were several western people actively spreading mis-information in Twitter, some out of confusion, some thinking they were some kind of misguided "keyboard warriors" fighting the "evil Ay-Rabs" and some from just pure desire to create chaos. Not to mention the Iranian state, that tried to gum up the works. IMHO, Twitter proved to be extremely unrealiable as an information source for this kind of thing.

All that said, I don't personally have that much negative feelings about Twitter. It's just poorly suited for communicating some things.
There's always the risk that once the Devs get used to making announcements through Twitter, they'll find that easier to do than using other means. After which we'll have much less Dev interaction, unless we want to go through all the fluff about what they had for breakfast etc.

To get used to it, they would first have to be doing it. Except for very rare cases, the devs have not posted any game announcements on Twitter and the Online Community Relations team has posted such information simultaneously in both venues.

If you think it's breaking news that Matt Miller is forming a fantasy football league or that Bruce Harlick had a REALLY good dinner out last night, then you've got cause for concern. Otherwise, you can relax. In fact, by NOT being on Twitter, you missed out on being the butt of Chris Bruce's little prank today. Otherwise, you haven't missed out on anything directly related to City of Heroes and there are no indications that you ever will.

Basically: Don't sweat it. Have a cookie.

Pranks like that can go bad very easily if someone catches only the first tweet and starts running around different forums, trumpeting it as gospel.

I'm not sure I want that. You young'uns probably put marridge-yah-wana and what not in those.

That'd be funny if I wasn't able to remember watching Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral live on TV. *heh*

Hey, it's the thought that counts.
Besides, recreational drugs aren't exactly a new invention either.

Right, Because everyone knows: "They should be outside" = working on their skin cancer/"tan".

And: "Getting some fresh air" = breathing "generic smog"/ozone/carbon-monoxide (if they're driving on the freeway)/or worse depending on the locale.

Or: "Playing sports" = risking bodily harm (of varying degrees) or even death for the sake of entertainment, or to have more "Extracurricular Activities" on their scholarship applications, (or whatever).
