You know, for a minute there I thought you were trying to be clever. But just in case I was wrong...

Technically that is an announcement about announcing the announcement of the date of the Issue 24 announcement page. Its an announcement that the announcement of the announcement of the date of the Issue 24 announcement page is being planned. Are there other planning announcement announcement announcements being planned for announcement? Or are you just going to announce the announcement announcement without further announcement announcement planning?

I hate social media because I can't go ANYWHERE without someone trying to shove it in my face. (Also one of the reasons I hate religion, but that's an entirely different topic.) I hate social media because I find it morally repugnant to cash in on the details of someone's personal life. Like reality TV wasn't bad enough in that regard? I hate social media because it does a lot of things that anywhere but the internet would land you in prison for voyeurism/stalking/harassment/etc. I hate social media because it hands a microphone to a lot of people who really should have their tongues cut out instead of giving them an audience. |

So when are we going to get our own movie/demo editor so we can more easily make CoH movies?

And here I thought that the Community would be excited about getting news about upcoming changes prior to the actual announcement.  |
Also, if you aren't busy Mondays or Thursdays, Sentry4 is hosting some casual PvPz on Virtue. Copy over your grav/ta or Dom or something and join the fun.

I don't know what's worse, the wait that was for the Retro Sci-Fi set or the wait for i24. I'm with Veruca Salt: want ALL the things!!

I greatly value my privacy. I don't deal well with people by and large, and I don't want people knowing about my personal life. I also feel some of the uses people put social media to are, to be blunt, damned stupid. Yet, I often feel pressured to use the various forms of social media, like it or not. It's like they expect me to, and find it odd that I wouldn't want to spill details about my life, or care about their relationship status, or jump to read their latest Tweet about how long they've been praying for the Ex-Lax to kick in.
There's more to it than that, but I'll spare you the rest before it turns into a rant. I hate it, logical or not. That's all there is to it.
Now, can we PLEASE put "/em facepalm" on the market?

I'm not sure why Paragon likes to say Soon to so much. The Intrepid Informer told us Water Blast release date almost a week ago. The CoX Toots, on Monday, said it was coming Soon(tm).
Honestly, it seems a tad archaic and many other products have moved on from the long tease then reveal just before it's ready tactic. As many have said before, maybe fill us in on the plans so we can provide feedback etc. Use player polls and put notification messages up when a player logs in (directing them to a poll on the site) so you can get a more representative sample of player wants.
Not exactly sure what i24 is about other than blaster stuff and bug fixes. I've been hoping for an issue as good as i12 for...almost 12 issues.
I am happy to announce that the planning for the announcement for the announcement for Issue 24 is coming soon™.
