CoH mention on Extra Credits :(

This weeks episode of Extra Credits discusses the various 'aesthetics' of games. They describe this as the reason you play a game and a particular game will typically have multiple aesthetics: competition, expression, discovery, etc.

While discussing expression, they mention City of Heroes... and the picture onscreen is someone pouring a libation at a grave. ouch.

Anyway, if you have any interest in games (aside from playing them), it's definitely interesting. I watch it every week.


Paragon City Search And Rescue
The Mentor Project

On top of the CoH mention, this video did bring up some interesting points, and something I'm going to try to remind myself to think about as we move forward.


The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?

A: You crash into another one.

Pouring a drink on a grave means "One for the homies". I can't see the video as there's something wrong with the stream, but if that's what they showed, well, it was a gesture of respect to this game. Now if you're upset that the reality of this game's closure is coming ever closer then I can see why that image would get to you.
