Art and the City

As the days wind down for our favorite superhero MMO game of all time, I thought it'd be interesting to try and take screenshots of various locations in CoH and present them as semi-artistic "snapshots." To that end, I now present the following 8 snapshots echoing the "realness" and "humbling solitude" of the virtual world around us that we call "City of Heroes" (as witnessed by our avatars).

For me, these "snapshots" are a prime example of how MMO games can evoke feelings of spirituality, emotion and "virtual realism" in the universal player's mind (as conveyed by the strategic use of avatar-centric camera angles and emotes).



















Please feel free to post your own artistic depictions of the City for everyone to enjoy.

Before the pictures, DO YOU KNOW HOW ******* HARD IT IS TO GET A SCREEN GRAB OF THE TALK POOL EMOTE. WHY ON EARTH DID THEY DECIDE THAT THE EMOTE NEEDED TO BE MOVING EVERY DAMN SECOND ON A CYCLE THATS 20 TIMES FASTER THAN ANY OTHER EMOTE

*cough* ahem



Artsy!

These are the "artsy" ones










These are more casual

A rare get-together of the Grey Lotus Clan that doesn't involve kidnapping, assassination or torture. (also I wanted to add my own picture of dinner at Black Friday )
