August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Thanks!! "Gangnam Style - Paragon Style" was hilarious!! Maaaaybe, if you aren't too busy, we'll get to see your version of "Call Me Maybe". Thank you for the 8 years of Super!! I'm really hopin' there's more Super in the future - and barring that, exciting new projects from da Super Devs!

Some of us are talking about a final party in Pocket D, November 30th. I for one plan to go out dancing - the only question is, on what toon?

(Also hoping to run each of the TFs/SFs one final time; e.g. last call for Dr Q, PST! as well as each of the incarnate trials. I think that can be done easily enough on Justice still.)

As for the soon-to-be former publisher of City of Heroes, my feelings on November 30th towards NCSoft are probably best summarized by this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_50-gOeBilc 1982 Scandal/Patty Smyth "Goodbye To You"


aka @Kristoff von Gelmini, leader of small SG bases (Infinity/Victory/Virtue/Protector), member of The House of Tera (Justice) and various others (Champion/Infinity/Victory/Guardian/Freedom).

So, out of curiosity, who was in that costume? Either way though, the entire thing was awesome. #1, bravo!

I was under the impression that it was going to be some Super Flowbee, but after the dancing started it dawned on me that I should've focused on the "Paragon-Style" more intently.
So far, the best of the parodies I've seen has to be the "David Lo Pan Style" 'Big Trouble in Little China' one.

Thanks go to Sean "Dr. Bat-Aeon" McCann, Matt "Positron" Miller, Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney, Andy "No Redname" Maurer, John "Protean" Hegner, Jeff "Arbiter Hawk" Hamilton, Eric "Clockwork01" Johnsen and Positot.



But not Keetsie "Tunnel Rat" Some Really Long Name because she wussed out.
Excellent work.

Malicious rumor:

The vid was intended to be longer, but had to stop at "Hey sexy lady" as you didn't have one. Tunnel Rat got tipped off about the "Leia at Jabba's" costume ...

True story. Tunnel Rat doesn't have a Leia costume.

She does, however, have Jabba costume, and she'd wear that to work on Tuesdays.

And Black Pebble would wear his Leia costume, which made Tuesdays rather strange.

Sorry, I was just too busy carrying orphans across flooded rivers the day of the filming. My new job, "Being way the hell better than Black Pebble," has some crazy hours!

Plus, my dancing is a thing that must not be inflicted upon the world.

Oh, that Tunnel Rat...what a true hero!

*Has a large statue built of Tunnel Rat and salutes it*

*Sends Black Pebble an angry letter for wasting time on his film while orphans were in danger*

Fixed.

And she admits that trying to be better than me is not only a full-time job, but it's more than she can handle in her tiny 2-foot frame.

PS - True quote from her just now. "These things cannot be flushed." Feel free to take that line out of context.

My wife and I absolutely loved doing Tunnel Rat's missions in Praetoria.

I thought you were going to point out that they weren't orphans when she arrived

Actually, I think we would all agree with Tunnel Rat trying to outdo you would require hours explicitly dedicated to crazy.
