Basically so far it's been they're not encouraging a boycott. He plays GW2.

He and Andy are playing a lot of League of Legends.

He can't make any comment whatsoever on anything about NCSoft in any way.

He'd have loved to see a chair assault powerset, and a zombies-with-football-gear enemy group, but he's tired of zombies as an enemy in any venue. He wants to be a ninja assaulting a pirate ship.

The screenshot of Marauder was a set piece and wasn't going to happen in-game.

Everyone is obsessed with his shirt.

Lots of talk about sports... :P

Internal reaction to the Unity Rally was amazing. They were amazed.

There was a lot of cool stuff planned for the future that he's sad about.

AP33 is pretty awesome.

He will be at the player-sponsored dinner, feel free to stop by if you're in the Bay Area. He will not be drinking any alcohol.

He saw Avengers 4 times in the first 3 days it was in the theaters and is sort of Avengered-out, but he did just buy the DVD. Avengers edges out Dark Knight but not by much. There wasn't enough Batman in DK. He prefers super-heroic goodness.

DKR vs Amazing Spiderman - DKR wins, more epic in scope.

He didn't realize Posi already did the Lore AMA.

He cannot come rez you right now, no.

The servers are still scheduled to shut down Nov 30th.

He's playing Torchlight 2, LoL, was playing GW, just downloaded Pandaria.

He has no future plans right now, he's just seeing COH through to the end.

He's not really interested in X-com.

TonyV has arrived, to red-carpet fanfare, LOL

His answer to "are you getting paid or doing this because you love us" was hesitation and then "Both, I'll just say that." Whatever that means...

He'll do another 10 minutes but he really needs food...

Blue-shirted Dev needs food badly, but he hopes the elf doesn't shoot the food!

He mourns the bacon shortage.

Tonyvcoh: So hey, can I have the wall behind the front desk? Just take a sheetrock saw, cut it down, and mail it to me. I'll pay postage.

Answer (laughing) Probably not.

He's never seen an episode of Dr. Who.

Was it all a Nemesis plot? Only the magic 8 ball can answer that.

It's not in his nature to put himself in front of a camera, but he saw people upset that there was no Wednesday Coffee and decided someone needed to do it. <3

They really do appreciate the dinner. This is a freaking fantastic community, even though he was only part of it a short time.

He can't guarantee one of these next week, but he'll do his best to make it happen.

Thanks for the heads-up, Unknown_User! And THANK YOU, Hitstreak, for hosting!

I had sadly given up on the weekly community chats after last Friday. It was a great moral boost to see Twitch live and participate in the last dozen minutes.

Once again: Enjoy dinner, Paragon Studios! Thank you for everything!

Hit Streak was awesome!
And thanks for the heads up, Unknown_User!

How cool of him to do that!

And he actually answered a couple of questions I thought the community would appreciate:
Remember, he's just speaking off the cuff, but he did answer these:

  • He thinks the forums will remain up as long as the game is (through to November 30th for NCSoft's scheduled shut down).
  • He wishes there was a way to grant people VIP, but it's unfortunately out of his hands.
So, nothing major, but what could you expect?


He just hopped on because he saw people posting about how they missed the coffee talks.


Very cool.


And his shirt will be getting a facebook page!!

He also said that the game was effectively in Maintenance Mode so it's unlikely we'll be seeing more Double XP or things like that.


Viva Hit Streak and the team.

Sounds like he took a pay cut, and accepted it to stick around with us.

Ugh, Thanks Hitstreak.

About the stream:

1. Kind of.

2. Are you sure?

3. Clearly five.

4. I would rather the other.

5. No.

6. Only in Detroit.

No, I literally mean "who is this guy" and "I miss Andy." I wasn't sneering "who is THIS guy, he'll never replace Andy! *shakesfist*"

I honestly had no idea who it was.

Oh I know, I didn't think you were being rude. But at this point, we're just lucky some one is willing to take up the mantle for us. Even if he couldn't give us any sort of updates, it was a good shot of hope for everyone.

It's still very much a "we" thing. We (Paragon) love this game. We love everything you guys have been doing. And I mean EVERYTHING. We have a private facebook group just for employees and we've been sharing and commenting on every article, video and activity we find. WE love all of it.

Thanks for joining me today. Sorry it's more famine than feast when it comes to information but I don't have a lot of information to share.

BUT. I can tell you this, we do have in-game events scheduled. More info to come.

Don't take that to mean much.

I know I for one use the term "we" still for jobs I haven't worked at in years... it kinda gets in your head when you work with a group of folks you like for a decent period of time.

Heck, I have caught myself saying "we" in reference to Dairy Queen... and I haven't worked at one since I was.... 16ish?

Of course... it might mean more. Personally? I doubt it.

[Edit: The above is in reference to me assuming GG meant that it was a good sign that Paragon and CoH might yet be saved... not that the team members don't still talk, interact and think of themselves as a group.]

Yeah, I think it was awfully sweet of him to notice people were sad on the forums about missing the Wednesday chat, and come chat with us, even if he was uncomfortable That's the spirit of PS in a nutshell, to me.

Hitstreak - you guys are the gift that keeps on giving, seriously. <3
