I could list what's going on in my life right now, but I don't like to sound showy--it starts with "second and third degrees," though. And while the African warlords deserve coverage, as do pressing social and political issues, I maintain my assertion that this fact does not invalidate the coverage of lesser events, especially in an online medium where there is practically infinite storage and users can contribute quality work. Maslow's Hierarchy assures us that, the higher we climb in life, the more varied and nuanced our interests will become. Having news coverage to reflect this fact in a relatively cushy, post-Industrial society isn't a bad thing. Having well-rounded interests--the arts, football, and politics, for instance--isn't a bad thing.

You know, if I were a dev. right now, no matter what happens to the game I would be very choked up with the amount of effort that thousands of players have made to preserve Paragon Studios and its employees. It is simply amazing that so many people have banded together in such a fashion and I'm glad to be a part of such a great online community.

Vengeance,

Good article. I enjoyed reading the revised article and thank you for your work in getting the message out there to save City of Heroes! Keep up the good work.

That Fox News? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_New..._controversies

Probably best that they not cover our protest of CoH shutting down. We'll stick with CNN because we want to be taken seriously.
I didn't suggest that you put it on Fox News. I was trying to explain why I've never heard of a "gaming" section on a news website - because I tend to follow Fox News and Al Jazeera, the former of which doesn't have a readership interested in gaming, and the latter because it has self-worth. Don't even get me started on Fox News being a piece of utter trash. I follow it precisely because it's a Republican propaganda machine. It's good to know how the other side is distorting your side's positions.


Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

You're really going to put these two sentences one-after-the-other? Your entire thread is about seeking attention from other people, and your entire post is essentially one long "ignore him, he's acting childishly" - while acting childishly.


Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

It's threes sentences.

Ya came in here, full of piss and vinegar, attacking people for a choice CNN made. Yes, you were being a bit childish. When responded to, in a more civil tone than you were offering yourself, you insulted more.

So yes, we are going to treat you a bit like a kid at this point.

But, I have also seen you are big enough to back down.

Its not that your issues arent important, they are, but you clearly werent seeing the side we were. Doesnt make you wrong, but it makes your actions unjustified. Thats all.

You sound like a pretty passionate guy. Hell, even I am not brave enough to watch Faux News.

Look at it this way: We got a lot of momentum on something that is important to this focus group. All of the people at the forefront of this, are getting some killer experience in social mobilization. People in general.. as seeing.. maybe we can make a change, make an effect.

In a political climate where apathy dominates, even a small step like this is a good one, even if it is a practice one on a game.

They're just so cute (before they grow up and forget how to feel joy).

Actually, at the start of the most recent TwitchTV Coffee Talk, Zwillinger did in fact get very choked up and was nearly in tears as he talked about how the community is mobilizing to save the game.

An interesting thing happened while I was at my parent's tonight. I was on one of their computers looking at the CNN piece on the new iPhone and when I got to the bottom of the page, guess what I found?

Not sure how long it'll stay there but here's the link to the iPhone story.

NCSoft, Please reconsider your decision to close down CoH. It has an extremely loyal following and enjoys a great amount of free support from the larger community.

I invite everybody to add the above image to your signature as a petition to reverse NCSoft's decision.
