Of course, the project and the expense themselves would need to be significant/worthy enough to persuade people to pitch in.
Neat! I will have to check out that site, thank you! As for the CoH Community pitching in, that's highly doubtful. A handful of players have stepped up in the past to try and help, but actively fundraising on here? Not allowed, to the best of my knowledge.

It is? Really? (I'm not on Facebook so I wouldn't know.) Cool!

It was exceptionally well done. I admit this is the first time I've watched one of your videos, but after seeing this one I had to go back through a few of the more recent CoH ones and they were all examples of great, professional quality work.

I feel I can state with high confidence that NCsoft HR is clueless. They should hire you, and if they have any qualms about your performance they should hire you on per project or year-length basis.

It's a no-brainer. Honestly!

Where do we sign the petition?
First: you're welcome.

Second: Thank you for the compliments, and I'm glad you like my stuff!

Third: There is no petition. Seriously. That's not just a "First rule of Fight Club" thing, there really is no petition. Nor can there be one because petitions aren't allowed.

At this point, there's nothing the playerbase can do, apart from enjoy my videos and maybe use them to spread the word about our game and get more folks into it.

Ah, well that's okay. Petitions are actually rather boring. I prefer my own secret methods of getting things done.

I already liked Felicia Day from Dr. Horrible, but then I discovered The Guild, and I enjoy her even more. Their/her being okay with you using the song for your video and promoting it like that makes me like them/her even more.

If only more talent like that was around in Hollywood and the entertainment biz. I know there are other people like that, but they're generally not the big people on top.

And good job on the video, DR! My wife and I enjoyed its spin on the original video (my wife is a big fan of the original).

That was wonderful. Very good work, as always

Dear NCsoft, if you go through with this shutdown you've guaranteed you'll not see another dime from me on any project you put out, ever.

Michelle,

This is by far one of the very best productions that you have done for the City of games.

While I have always enjoyed each and every one that you have put together, this is one of the best by far.

Thank you for the time and effort you must have put into that video for us all to enjoy!

Michelle among others is why the CoH community is by far the very best one out there.

Thanks again Michelle!!!

Fantastic work!

Stellar work as usual...!!!!!

There are a few things I truly look forward to....

Christmas...
My Daughter's birthday...
The new issue of Thor
Dark Respite's amazing videos..

"A great love is alot like a good memory. When it's there and you know it's there,but it's just out of your reach. It can be all that you think about. You can focus on it and try to force it but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient and hold still...maybe...just maybe...it will come to you. I just need to be somewhere she can find me" - Church from Red vs Blue

I think "value of Pwnage" still is my favorite of yours. This one is second, but by such a small margin that you have to start working in quantum math to see a difference.

Wonderful as always.

Update on that - to my absolute astonishment, @TheGuild is now following ME on Twitter, and posted the following on theirs:

" Guild twitter=still playing catchup from the holidayzz. Lots to share.. 1st @Samuraiko's COH vid FTW http://bit.ly/7gnUzB "

My GOD these people are nice!

Thank you guys, for not only helping "Avatar: CoH Style!" to score its aforementioned honors on YouTube...

... but its latest one, achieved today: "#47 - Most Discussed (This Week) - Film & Animation". The video has also been publicly Tweeted by @TheGuild, commented on by Felicia Day and one of the members of The Guild's Management, and is still going strong.

And oh yeah, Castle and Niviene like it.

How on earth am I ever going to top this...?

Yup, you got your work cut out for you.

Now step to it!

Seriously, as I am painstakingly watching the accumulated videos at your site in my "copious spare time" <g>, I've added to my list of regrets for having been away that I missed these gems when they were coming out.

Take these accolades as your due. You have certainly earned them.

Don't even try. If you do, it won't be the same. Just do your usual great job, and it will turn out awesome enough!

*grins*

Then today I get a couple reviews on this video, my GR teaser, and my I-16 trailer... I have apparently lured a few players into the game (or in a couple cases, BACK into the game). Mwahahahaha.

Meant to post this a few days ago, but got distracted... and then sick.

Very nice. The stuff on Posi's monitor is priceless.

You're very welcome. As a gamer geek chick, there's a lot about the Guild that I roll my eyes and laugh and go, "Oh yeah, that's us..."

Sorry to hear you got sick. Hope this helps you laugh your way to wellness... and yes, I gather that the real Positron found his alter ego's computer screen amusing.
