One last video for my greatest inspiration... but what?
I will see what I can do.
Also... if I can find the time before it's too late...
I'd like to make a full compilation of the videos listed in the Fan Videos thread, so that these wonderful CITY OF HEROES memories aren't lost. I can host the list on my WanderingCrane.com site, or if the ParagonWiki will be sticking around, put it there for posterity.

So I've been going down memory lane by rewatching your videos, Samuraiko. Wow, I admire you all over again! Your love for the game is obvious. Your creativity with the presentations is astounding.
Wanted to give an extra KUDOS for the "Avatar: CoH Style!" video. It still is my favorite with its showcasing the variety, fun, and outright silliness that makes up City Of Heroes.
Thanks to the time I got to spend with you personally in-game, coupled with your videos to rewatch again and again, City Of Heroes will always be bright in my memory.
Thank you...
Today is another massive day of filming in-game for 'my' goodbye thread. I think I've just about finalized my idea for the community vid, but it's still percolating in my brain.

I have been thinking of doing a video as well just because. I am a rocker and this is about as soft as I go but damn I can't get it out of my head since the announcement...

I think something like Steelclaw's epitaph would be a-*******-mazing and heart/gutwrenching.

The idea I'm working on for my own farewell to COH has (not so) surprisingly similar notions to Steelclaw's epitaph... and when Bloodspeaker saw the rough cut of the intro and ending, he got REALLY quiet and sniffly.
The idea I'm working on as a community farewell has almost completely jelled at this point, just a matter of narrowing down which song I want to use. More on that later.

So.....I haven't told anyone this yet, but.....the last project I wanted to work on was a cover of "Call Me Maybe" with COH.
I'm just saying you know.....sure would be nice if someone made my dream come true.....

I've decided that I'm going to log out all my toons dancing now in case I can't get back to them before the end.
They will keep on dancing till the world ends.
My COX Fanfiction:
Blue's Assembled Story Links
Something along the lines of History in the making with additional emphasis upon the community (like MSR or Hami raid scenes or gatherings upon the steps of Atlas, etc), scenery from the game, and something brief about each major NPC. It rather sounds like a movie with all this, but somehow it all fits.
5th Anniversary has been my favorite video of all and even before this announcement moved me to tears. It just wouldn't be right without the story, the cast, and world, and the community.
And I can donate again for this one.

Governments have fallen to the power of social media. Gaming companies can too.
You could consider a video montage that shows the long history of COH, showing footage from all your previous videos.

Someone's video should feature "I had the time of my life" from Dirty Dancig.
Pretty obvious video for how I feel now.

Whatever happens, I want my character Flint Eastwood in it. He's on Freedom.
My new Youtube Channel with CoH info
You might know me as FlintEastwood now on Freedom

I have never had a chance to be in any of your videos and am hoping scheduling wise I can get my main in the farewell video. If/when the servers do shut down I would like a little piece of CoH to look back on.
I personally thought SteelClaw's suggestion would be an amazing tribute video.
I intend to schedule a night or two when I hit as many servers as possible and try to recreate the flybys that I got this evening. It's just so damn hard to do when everyone insists on accommodating THEIR schedules.

When the world gets you down
Just log in and look around
There's a place you can call home that's red (or blue)
Making friends at your own pace
And punching badguys in the face
Then real villains close the city down on you...
Always look on the bright side of life...
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
-- The Fox and the Hound
For those of us who's schedules are too wonky to predict, may we please post our main character in Thor's Assassin's Demo File Thread for your consideration to be included in your farewell video?
And let me say right now that either way I know you put your heart and soul into your videos, Samuraiko. THAT is what makes them special. Please be true to yourself this one more time.
DR: You were our inspiration to start our channel. Thank you! Above all others in CoH (except maybe Snow Globe since she was our badging resource) you proved to us that not only can the game entertain us, but it can be used to showcase to others as well. Again, thank you.
I was thinking the same thing about that song. I need some depth of field, though.

Samuraiko . . . your artistry has been epic.
I am sure your final CoH creations will follow in the same tradition. And I am equally sure that when I see them, there will not be enough kleenex in the house.
"I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil" JRR Tolkien's Gandalf the Grey.
On behalf of all players, I would submit another request that someone with your obvious talent create a zone walkthru of some kind. I've tried but just do not have the expertise. It would be a crime if I could never again walk thru Atlas Park, test out my first jet pack in King's Row, use a movement power for the first time in Steel Canyon, watch my fire dragon take to the starlight skies of Praetoria, journey between the floating Islands of the Shadow Shard on angel's wings, activate Rocket Boots to reach Portal Corps asap!
I for one would be eternally grateful to anyone that could make this dream stay alive, at least on film, once CoH goes dark.
