Great job with the video. Paragon Studios ought to give you at least a complementary VIP membership for your efforts considering how much "advertising work" you're doing for them.

Every time you release a video like this, I get a little bit more fed up with Paragon for not paying you. You deserve it, and who knows how much of an impact this could make on the main page, as an announcement, or on their facebook page?

Fingers crossed for you for the future.
If Beastyle were still here, I'd ask him to put my video on the Facebook page (he's done it in the past with my teasers for Issue 21, even WITHOUT me asking!). But now that he's gone, I don't know who to ask. I'd PM Zwill, but I think he's kinda sick of me at this point.

But yeah, getting this on the launcher? That'd be sweet - even having a redname comment in here would at least get me in the digest, but I tend to be off the "redname radar" these days. Oh, well.

I already have ideas for I-23, fear not.

I just wanted to bring home the immediate impact of WWD and the Valentine's Day return of Red Widow.

And thank you again to everyone for the kind words and the compliments - you guys are what keep me making these things.

Well done, Samuraiko. Exemplary work!
Wow, thank you!

Um, Hit Streak - you need to fix the Google+ link in your signature. It goes http://https://plus... (yes, I'm an editor when I'm not making videos.)

I don't think they can actually do that. I could be wrong.

Same. You really know how to pull the heartstrings, D_R.

I imagine they could very easily comp you something like a 3 or 6 month VIP membership if they chose to do so. The real trick is that they'd probably ask you not to mention it publicly because they wouldn't want people to get the idea that they do that all the time.

At the very least they could probably credit your account with a grant of Paragon Points or something similar.

Well, I thought you did a fantastic job. Having been part of i22's development, I'm really honored to have received the D_R treatment.

The red robed staff fighter at 2:19 battling the female Tsoo was me! I had fun running that story arc with D_R and beating up those bad guys at the end. I can't wait for Staff fighting to go live, it's one of my fave power sets. And the trailer really makes I22 look good!

Ahhh, I was wondering how long it would take before someone would start taking potshots at me via the video's comments. Probably the same person who disliked it, too. Kinda like finding that first ding on your new car - now I can relax.

All very well said.

Your gifts at framing and pacing shine as always.

Exemplary. Awesome. Radical. Stirring. Incredible. Amazing. Spectacular. Wonderful. Inspiring...

But enough about me..

I kid, I kid.

Great job, D_R... I have to admit to being surprised to actually see City Of Oz on your planning list... I thought that was just an inside joke between you and I... oh... and a quick question about your planning list (since I have this little list-obsession-thing)... The PUG video... is that one based off that PUG play I wrote a while back? Or is it a script from a different source?

Once again, fantastic job!
