Link to the archived Twitch session that just ended. Thank you for hosting a last chat for us, Hit Streak!

Lots of rednames stopped by for the tangent fest. Sorry, no summary, it was pretty much non-stop grins for an hour. Waaaaaaay too much to highlight. It was a great celebration of our fantastic Paragon Studios team.

My favorite, the part that made my cheeks hurt from laughing, was learning about the office pranks.

What was your favorite part?

So, do we have the impression that some portion of the studio is going to remain together for a new project? I have had that feeling because of how the gangnam video was presented by Hosun. Also, it sounds like if we are supposed to follow Hosun Lee on twitter for news, that they might be up to something. Obviously they have the following for a crowdfunding endeavor of some sort.

That was great.

Sad.

But great.

And I love the veiled hints of 'watch this space' from just about all of them. I am so looking forward to tomorrow.

I think it's the end of the time they are being paid through due to the WARN act or Cal-WARN. I think the number I've heard is 60 days.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Pfft. Just hang him upside down by his feet for a couple hours.

That'll stretch him out!

Wouldn't that also be the official time that they are unemployed, and can thus make announcements about new directions?


Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

yes


The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

Yes, but from the way things were said it was that their employment ends at close of business today.

Not sure what time the PS offices closed, but being in California I'd expect that to be somewhere in the next half hour to hour from now (5:00 PM or 5:30 PM Pacific).

Also, I'm wondering how I lost an ID card at one of the Pummits or at a HeroCon (I'd assume the Spring Pummit since otherwise they'd have given it to me during a later event).

Two obvious possibilities jump out at me:
1) If you end up discovering you have new credit cards and charges for several orders of brass and steam-power-related items... suspect a Nemesis plot.
2) If you discover an extraneous cowboy hat purchase (assuming a Texan may notice such things), suspect Black Pebble.

I'm more likely to suspect it's a Rangle Plot™.

Especially since my suspicions are for it having been from the Spring Pummit.

Nothing says CoH like Black Pebble wearing Mickey Mouse ears and gold boxing gloves, while imitating an Irish Scottish Pirate...............and Arbiter Warrent photobombing , translating what is going on.

GREAT to see Zwill's face...and all the other wonderful dev-friends!

Thanks GG! The thought gives me hope of something down the road with at least some of the design and spirit of CoH. I am sure they would find great success in any crowd funding effort.

Somebody make a gif of them being taught the Gangnam Style dance.

...but seriously it's like watching a family. I loved hearing about the pranks at the office and with what happened to Tunnel Rat at the convention and all that.

i really do hope that they can work something out

best case is ncsoft will decide to release the IP sometime sooner than we would expect so the devs can start a studio on their own

prolly next best would be if the devs just sat down and made their own game from scratch

in any case i hope the devs can find work in some form fairly readily cause i know its a difficult time to be job hunting

Thanks for hosting another twitch chat Hit Streak! Was hard to watch you guys say goodbye.

Thank you! I always watch these it seems AFTER the podcast and never during, but it's great to see the dev team. Thank you!

Eh hem.

There are no such things as Rangle Plots™.

That is all.

Notice he did not say that there are no such things as "a Rangle Plot".

Oh! Thanks for the link! I sort of thought the post-announcement Twitch chats weren't archived so didn't think to look for them. Still sorry I missed it live though.

Just so you know, GG sometimes presents conjecture as truth,

Instead of saying "I think we'll be hearing something" or "I hope", it's instead presented as a fact.

To be fair, in this case she bases it on a conversation between Zwill and Black Scorpion, going something like:

Andy: "So, I think we can tell them now."

BS: "Nah, I checked with HR and we can't say anything before tomorrow."

And, also, they did. These "next great adventures" were talked about after their contracts with NCSoft was up yesterday. See else-thread. Of course, it has nothing to do with CoH, but I don't think GG was implying as much.


Thought for the day:
