While looking at Guinness I stumbled across this and found it encouraging:

"The most money received for a virtual world is the $350 million (£175 million) paid by The Walt Disney Company for the children''s MMO Club Penguin (New Horizon Interactive, 2005) in 2007.

Featured in Guinness World Records Gamers Edition 2011"

Granted, Club Penguin is very different from City of Heroes. But still, I found it encouraging. :)

Is that the flower Tom Hanks saved after quitting his job at the factory of doom?

A Joe vs The Volcano reference. On of Tom's lesser known films but one I am quite fond of.
As long as somebody keeps making up stories for it, the City isn't gone.

"A BRAIN cloud?  You didn't ask for a second opinion for something called a BRAIN CLOUD???"

Joe vs. The Volcano was my #1 all-time favorite movie for years, until Hero came out.

One of my heroes on Defiant was named ... Brain Cloud  ;D
