Tim, you and all who helped in the manufacturing of this video:

Well done, heroes! I'm proud to be a fellow Paragon Citizen.

Just spectacular!  *applause*

<snickers> Found my character...who was used in the most ironic (and humorous) possible manner.

Thanks for the efforts, Tim. I'll be passing this along... :)

I tweeted this. It is really brilliant.

Might I suggest a follow up where players talk as their main character about the impact that CoH has had on their lives. Some of us... plenty of us... have stories to tell.

I would be happy to do a piece as Hawthorne or Front Lines. Or both! :)

Is there any trick anyone is aware of to make the lips move though?

Though I guess speech bubbles could pop up as "captioning."

Do we need the lips moving? Really? It's not like their lips move in any of the in-game cut scenes. :P

Whenever I make a character talk in machinima, I just always use... SOMETHING to indicate its them who is talking.

I'm just a stickler for little details. Don't mind me. :p

Word bubbles would work. Add that 'comic book' feel.

I can't explain to you how happy this makes my dad. He can't stop talking about it. He called me while he was showing his wife and was just so excited. I can't thank you enough, really.

Liked, commented, and having my webmistress put it on my website front page.
I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido

...stop making me adore you, woman. ;)

That's righteous, VV. Thanks again for all the work you do around here.

Indeedy, TY VV!

And based on the responses, the video certainly seems to be having the intended effect.

And I just got tipped on the NC forums about this. It's on Massively now. To quote DJ Steel: Holy freakin' cow.  http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/09/25/fan-made-video-promotes-the-movement-to-save-city-of-heroes/

I wonder how long it'll be now before my YT channel turns into a flamefest?

So happy to hear that! :) I'm glad I didn't publish when I originally planned to or I might never have gotten those files in time.

Tim, this is an amazing piece of work you did there. It was good that I didn't watch this at work because I started welling up when I saw my Zoser slump to the ground in defeat and was gone by the time TonyV lit the torch! If this gets only half the attention it deserves, it should go viral!

I salute you, sir! 8)

Just a quick scan of the internet over the last 24 hours shows that this video has shown up on websites in Germany, Italy, Russia, France, and all across the English speaking world.
It is generating positive responses from the gaming community (at least as far as my limited language skills and Google Translate can tell.)
Perhaps you've just given us the next push we need. Only time will tell.
As long as somebody keeps making up stories for it, the City isn't gone.

Whoa, what search engine and/or function are you using to get that info?

I can't even get that kind of thing from youtube's statistics (though it DID tell me that it's embedded somewhere on adobe.com - still trying to figure that one out).
