Yeah, it's all of 5 seconds ... but it's a totally awesome shot and location, and the action/direction just feels *totally right* for how The Extraordinary Death Defying Redlynne (Dances With Death) would casually stroll into First Ward like that. The other thing that I find interesting, given the placement in the montage there, is that unless you "know" that that's *MY* character, it's very easy to assume that's not a Player Character there, but instead is yet another (hostile) NPC making an entrance ... possibly as part of a cutscene or something.

So yeah ... I had a total *SQUEE!!* moment watching this vid via UStream when Andy played it for everyone, and saw Redlynne striding into First Ward as if she owned the place. I had been totally expecting that if Michelle was going to use my avatar at all, it would be in some sort of combat scene, doing my signature "Flip Out And Kill Things" scrapping it out using Eagle's Claw or something "flashy" like that. But THIS! This was awesome!



Fantastic job Michelle!



Oh and uh ... any time you get the urge to do a Ricky Martin song video for no good reason, let me know.
You're welcome.

But as far as doing a vid to the Ricky Martin song, I have so many on my roster I need/want to do that if I take on any more, my brain will just melt.

I'm so excited I'm actually, literally tearing up...

It was one of your excellent videos that finally convinced my best rl friend to try out the game years ago.

I'd been giving him all the info about Freedom for months now, but he still said he was burned out on COH and didn't care for the market.


I sent him a link to this video. Just got the text back from him. Thanks to you, he's blown away by the new COH and is starting to get excited about coming back!!!!!!!

Thank you!

And you guys are very patient about the weirdo chick oohing and ahhing at everything as I go through and film stuff.
And thank you for my debut as an extra. When I recreated that character on Live I gave her a different look, though, so she'll never be famous (for that, at least).

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Thank you - I love hearing that. When my vids get someone into the game (or back into the game), it's one of the best compliments I can get.

I see it as red now, but it was goldenrod when I first read his post.

A picture is worth 1000 words.

You must have six-slotted that video with the Very Rare Stun set, because I am Absolutely Amazed (ba dum tish) (yes, I know that was awful).

You did a better job of making me want to play First Ward than any of the developers did, too, by the way.

Wow. That's an understatement, let me try again...

W-O-W!

Congratulations on another fantastic job, Dark_Respite! *applause*

Your next task: Treat yourself to a super-sized, well-deserved break and enjoy all that content you were filming.

Great video! Had some friends at work watch it, and might get some converts to the game.

No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.

That trailer is WIN!

Sweet! If it works, let me know...

(No, seriously - I'm always trying to figure out what about a vid pulls someone into the game so I can keep refining it.)

If the devs do a Bay Area M&G, you guys are welcome to try and convince him of that.

I almost shed a tear...

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
