Dark_Respite's Holiday Video Gift to the Community... AND the Devs
The Youtube one is broken, D_R =/
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

ARGH, I tested it! *sighs* You might have to refresh it for it to work...
EDIT: It seems to work now, but if you get the error Techbot_Alpha mentions - go to:
http://www.youtube.com/samuraiko - it is the featured video on the channel and plays there just fine.
BTW, to address a quick concern - if you like the video, you are welcome to re-link it as you please - but if you link to the downloadable version, make your link to the Samuraiko.com site, NOT to the actual file itself, please!

The YouTube one works for me as long as I don't try to use HQ.
That was so ******* awesome I have no words. They need to put this all over the web to advertise the game. If I wasn't already a player, it would sure make ME want to sign up.
You've done your magic again D_R!

Oh, and the answer is.... "yes".
Excellently done there D.R, started watching your vids from the multiple Rikti ship gank way back and the material hasnt suffered in quality since.
More often than not fan made videos tend to have a certain ropey feel no matter the quality of production or talent at the helm, you however manage to bring it to the same level if not better than the production values of the team who are *paid* to make the trailers by the studios itself.
Is good to know that talent and dedication can pay dividends.

Very nicely done.
Thank you for the time...

HA! I just noticed pohsyb "hidden".
This gets better every time I see it.
Another magnificent triumph that far outstrips the accomplishments of so-called "normal" people.
Indeed, it was so stupendous that it leads me to suspect the creator of such majesty may not be entirely human. Or, perhaps.... just perhaps... the song is a clue to the truth!
Dark_Respite is not human. She is, in reality, a City of Heroes construct.
She has obviously taken the Artistic Genius archetype with Natural Origin. Further research has revealled that she took Videographer Vixen as her primary power set with Sublime Comedian backing it up as secondary.
I still think six-slotting her ninth tier Pure Perfection power was over-kill.
Excellent job, D_R!

Aww, I thought this was going to be the James Cameron Avatar! Darn footnotes.
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

I've just recently rejoined the CoH community after a long hiatus, so I guess I've missed your previous contributions, but I have to say, that was a jaw-droppingly amazing piece of work!
Definitely worth every iota of praise and compliments due to you!
Awesome. Definitely one of my favorite fan vids, ever.

Nice video, as always. My favorite part was the To Do list.
However, the song still sucks. Not even your magic can change that.

I just had to ring out 2009 properly with a video... and it's the one that many of you voted on earlier in the year that you wanted me to make. Admittedly, I got sidetracked when I did the GOING ROGUE teaser instead, but with three days left in the year to spare, here it is for your amusement.
Forumites and developers, I give you...

YouTube version is here - downloadable version on the Samuraiko.com Videos page.

And before I forget, I owe thanks to:

** The Guild Management for allowing me to use the song
** My last-minute film crew helpers (you'll recognize your shots!)

PS - this is NOT, I repeat NOT, a video about the latest James Cameron film. This is about the Guild song "(Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar", which is far more appropriate to CoH. You have been warned.
