My pleasure. :) Since we lost COH, I take some comfort in knowing I had a small part in chronicling it.

Face it we love it all and with a Little bit of luck who knows.

Why do you think he was dancing and singing in the video?
He was a little lucky and got someone else to do his dirty work for him...thousands of times.

Ok, so he was a LOT lucky.

I didn't craft the Avatar.  I found it Here

As for the "I rather go out a Hero then a Coward" is a quote from Galaxy Quest (1999) Guy Fleegman played by Sam Rockwell.  He relies he's the extra character the RED SHIRT and expects to die anyway.  So instead of being the coward he grabs a gun and prepares to go out fighting.  The full quote is "I'm just a glorified extra, Fred. I'm a dead man anyway. If I'm gonna die, I'd rather go out a hero than a coward."

For the signature yea that's mine.  "One way or another... Heroes will fly again."

I had forgotten that bit from Galaxy Quest (my brain is more of a steel Sieve than a steel trap these days).  Thank you for elaborating!   8)

Would any one rocking at demos be willing to cue up a "We built this City" video? :)

A while back, I changed the words......


We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends
Built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

You might not know me or recognize my face
But we all care who goes to that place
Knee deep in the villains enjoying the fight
Now the bad news eating up the night

Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to play here... someone stole the stage
They call us unimportant.. write us off the page

You play your hero, listen for the glowies, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

 It's just another Sunday, on a King's Row street
CEO's have got the choke hold, oh then we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in to our avatars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're not a bunch of sheep
Looking for Paragon, cause love of the game runs deep

(I'm looking out over that IP bridge
Out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday, watching the Tsoo and Family)

Don't you remember the fun?

(It's your favorite game, in your favorite game world
The city by the statue, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

Boombox rocks the music, do the monkey dance, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends
Built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

This one (Another SK production) is a personal fave of mine.. mostly cuz my main toon was in it =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZHWhE6JQ_U GO VIRTUE!

Here's a rare one. Limited in scope, but cute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY_9sgm2gsA

These videos are still up, strangely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHDawxWU2rY

And finally, the end result of a suicide mission to sabotage Grandville's PA system: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KxkW8t8xX8
