I liked your old sig, but I like this one a lot too. Although, sometimes the reality of it seems like whatever you do, be ready to accept that someone's not going to like it or how you did it, haha... I have been known to be a bit jaded though.  Nice to see ya 'round, WW! |
Oooh Congrats to both War Witch and Second Measure
So the burning question is, who's taking over the Alpha and Omega teams now?

Anything that involves War Witch getting a promotion sounds like a good plan to me. But I'm also desperately curious to find out what Nate is up to!

Goodness knows, Zwill keeps taking stabs at it. Anyway, thanks all for the really nice words and I hope to do you (and the game) proud! No pressure. :P War Witch P.S. And even though Zwill mocked "that phrase" -- I have kept to my word and not uttered it. Even though they torture me with "that phrase" at work constantly every chance they get. P.P.S. Hat Day was a smashing success! P.P.P.S. I had to change my signature and I love this quote. It was either that or, "Be cool, Soda Pop." (Someone should know who uttered that and in what movie.) |
Matt's all right, too, I guess. >_>
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Congrats to both Nate and Melissa for their promotions !

Keep NCSoft from shutting down City of Heroes : http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...city-of-heroes
I for one welcome our new Canadian overlord.
Being from The Rock myself, I'm sure the city will start feeling just a little bit more like home now. Beauty, eh?
Congrats to you both on new titles and new projects!
Field promotion FTW!
Best of luck to you both.

To help minimize the transition, it's best to keep close to what you're used to rather than replace it entirely. You've moved on from "design," so remove it.
(Original title) - ("Design") + (adjust for grammar) = "Queen of the World"

Thanks, everyone. It has been an honor to be associated with one of my favorite all time games for the last few years, doubly an honor to get to develop that game for this great community, and triply an honor to work with such an amazing team. Fortunately, I get to keep on working at this fantastic studio, and on a project that is very very exciting. It will be some time before we can share anything about our plans, but I can't wait for the day.
I hope to still make it to the next Player Summit, I have made some good friends in this community and love seeing you all when I can, I'll just have to wear a shirt saying "Don't ask".
I've had the pleasure of working with Melissa and Matt for a while now, I'm sure they are going to continue to do great things now that I am out of their hair.

So hey Community, join me in welcoming Melissa to her new position as the...Canadian Numero Uno...
DAMN YOU, NORWEGIANS!!!
As a side note, if that's what the girls wear while swimming in the arctic waters of Norway, I have to say, that might just be the next level indeed.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
