 Thank you for setting this shindig up Marcian! It was wonderful seeing our community come together to pay tribute to those who made our game so great. Fare thee well Back Alley Brawler and the unnamed 8. You will be sorely missed.  |

But BaBs is a cool name, makes me think of BaGs, you know Brain Austin Green|

You know whats really weird, not only do their names sound alike but look at this photo I took at Herocon 2 years ago, its BaBs speaking at a panel
They even look like the same person.

Who would be interested? |
Is it possible to hold another, but with a planned start time so those of us who missed out can have another chance to honor BABS in company of fellow Heroes and the reformed shady folk?

So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself

I would have loved to have come to this. I considered making a trial account and rolling out a quick funeral-clad Storm, until I realised that the gathering would be at around four in the morning for me. I like sleep.
I hope BaBs knows just how fond of him this community is. The pictures here are heartwarming, and this one is just downright beautiful:
Very nice work, all.

Yeah, the girl all the way to the right was just something I'd already made on that server for a now-in-limbo return to comic guides... one that was gonna have a "mock interview" with some devs. In each, I had an interlude pic that had the interviewer (shandora) dressed in each signature hero's theme, posed next to the interviewee. Babs was the first one I was working on.

Are you kidding? He took the early retirement so he could focus on more important things like C*v V. Duh! |

If I hadn't been without internet last night I would have been there so assume I was there in spirit.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
It was great to see as many show up as did.
We had a few moments of idle chatter before it all started and everyone even managed to keep the powers down.
No stupidity going on of spamming powers, everyone doing what was asked .... yes... even the monkeydance.
Chris is a well liked person because of his work talent and his personality.
While I'm sure all of the people at Paragon are great, we are only given the opportunity to talk to a scant few of them.
Chris took that opportunity with us and allowed us to 'make him become one of us'.
Thanks to everyone that could show up to show some support for the man who gave us 'teabag' haha.

Few others, now that I'm not at work - mostly inside the crowd, with one earlier as the gathering was getting started.
I REALLY wish I could have been there.

The people I've linked it too so far in the US have been able to play it but if it's not working for anyone please let me know (and which country you are in for reference) and I'll try to re-upload another version.
I would also like to say while editing the video Super Ratz had me rolling on the floor with how his MJ dance was almost perfectly synced with Everybody's Free.

Thank you for posting it

I think very few devs in this industry get this kind of fond reaction from the games they leave. I can't think of any devs outside of this game that I actually like and appreciate, let alone with the depths of friendliness I feel for the CoX devs. I hope BAB sees this video and knows how deeply he was appreciated.

I will take it a step further and say there was at least one game (HGL) where I had a strong dislike of the devs.
I hate I missed this, I didn't get home from school till 11:45 est though.

I was going to try and find a better time, but people had started camping out for the event upwards of two hours in advance. The train gained momentum too quickly for me to change the tracks. |

That's a lot of BAB love!
LOL, the holding of the torch, is a nice touch. Awesome.
That was a pretty sweet video.
