This song is significant to me for the closing of City of Heroes. While the game may be closing, the community scattered, we are still who we are because of this game and our experiences in it. From a culture that's stereotyped as being too busy cramming it's face with Big Macs while masturbating to hentai to give a damn, we've gone against that view.
Child's Play was created by avid gamers.
The real life superhero movement was created by comic fans wanting to make a difference, and gained momentum from our community.
So to quote the immortal Billy Joel, "They turned our power down, and drove us underground, but we went right on with the show."
Go on with the show, and spread the virtue and good will you've gained from here. Pay it forward, and keep the positive momentum.
"You must never imagine, that just because something is funny, it is not also dangerous." - Neil Gaiman
"You know what I love? People who respond with aggression and belligerence thinking it replaces logic." - Blue Mourning
