New efforts!

The cake may be fake,
but the pie ain't no lie.

Thank you for Paragon Chat.  (...and well wishes for the rest of the Paragon Chat Development timeline.)

Azrael.

Not quite songs, but not far off.


In 2012, a great computer game was sent to shutdown for a loss of profit it didn't incur. Its fans promptly emerged from maximum gloom into the Internet underground. Today, still owned by a Korean company, the game soldiers on in various forms. If you miss your missions, and no one else can help, and you can message them, maybe you can hire...the Paragon Chat Team.

and, somewhat more obscure

It is the year 2016. NCSoft has shut down City of Heroes and evicted thousands from their home in Paragon City. But from secret staging grounds on multiple forums, brave heroes and determined villains prepare to retake their homeland!

The A-Team & Transformers the Movie??

The A-Team & Transformers the Movie??

I would agree.  The A-Team and Transformers the Movie.

How about this one?

Paragon Chat. A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a City that does not exist.... 

Hint:  Queue Stu Phillips   ;)

LOL - day made.

Although, i did have to look up the hint...

The hint is probably more obscure than the source.

*checks out all the songs*

*clears throat*



Ice Ice Blaster... dun dun dun dunununuh
Ice Ice Blaster... dun dun dun dunununuh

Stop! Refrigerate and listen... Ice is back with a brand new mission
Chilblain grabs a hold of you tightly, frozen like an iceberg daily and nightly

Will it ever melt, yo? I don't know. Mez-resist the hold, you're still slowed
Chilling Embrace rocks the beasts and the vandals, Bitter Freeze Ray turns em into ice candles

dun dun dun dunununuh... dun dun dun dunununuh

Yes, A-Team and Transformers: The Movie. Rock on!

Nifty little Knight Rider reference, too, although I never understood if it was a shadowy FLIGHT or a shadowy LIGHT. In that context, "light" makes more sense to me than "flight." Makes me think that there's either something I'm missing (probable) or that the narrator was maybe handed some lines to read that had a typo.

This recent discussion on the thread got me thinking about how cool it would be to see re-imagined versions of different TV show intros based in Paragon City. Keep the songs, but change the actual video clips. For instance, take a look at the old Miami Vice intro and then transpose Tubbs and Crockett into a speedboat zipping by Rikti Monkey Island and arresting some Family members. Have Airwolf coming out of a the jungle in Eden (or maybe the volcano in Striga!) Have Captain Merrill Stubing entertaining Shalice Tilman and Justin Sinclair on board the Love Boat. Could you see a movie trailer with the '80s ghostbusters coating the Atlas Statute with mood slime? Maybe a version of Cheers set somewhere in the City, where normal people can go to get away from the craziness of their regular lives for a while.

[LateNights]

I always heard it as flight - and never much questioned why - but i guess "flight of fancy" might be a reason??

Or, Batman is way more organised than we thought!!

[MyriVerse]

It is "flight," as in an unrestrained exercise or display.

[Vee]

You keep using that word...oh nm I'm too amazed by this conversation for snarky meme-age.

[Aracknight]

Long time lurker.  First time poster.  Here's a minor edit to an R. Kelly song that I think fits:

I'm lookin' over the skyline of the city
How loud quiet nights in the midst of crime
How next door to happiness lives sorrow
And signals of solution in the sky

A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace
For everyone of us
We all need it, can't live without it
Paragon City, oh yeah

How sleepin' awake because of fear
(Oh yeah)
How children are drowning in their tears
How we need a place where we can go
A land where everyone can be a hero
(Even me)

A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace
For everyone of us
'Cause we all need it, yeah, can't live without it
Paragon City, oh yeah

A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace
For everyone of us
'Cause we all need it, can't live without it
Paragon City, oh yeah

Yet in the middle of stormy weather
We won't stumble and we won't fall
I know a place that all this shelter

City of justice, city of love, city of peace
For everyone of us
We all need it, can't live without it
Paragon City, oh yeah

We need a city of justice, city of love, city of peace
For everyone of us
We all need it, can't live without it
Paragon City, oh yeah

City of justice, city of love, city of peace
For everyone of us
Yes, we all need it, can't live without it
Paragon City, oh yeah

Paragon City
(Everybody needs Paragon City)
Paragon City
(Don't you want one, oh yeah)

Come on, come on, Paragon City
(Everybody needs Paragon City)
Paragon City
(Don't you want one, oh yeah)

Thanks.

Does that mean we need to have KITT and Michael Knight in Steel Canyon?  Maybe have KARR and/or Goliath with Garth Knight in Cap au Diable?

And, btw: I have all four seasons of Knight Rider.  It's definitely flight

I want to play to game so bad right now :(

I want to play [the] game so bad right now :(

There were a lot of players, IMO, who played bad.  So, you are not alone.

thanks for that....

[Goddangit]

And I was one of them.  Got kicked off more than one team because I didn't know how to [X, Y or Z].  I even named a character Captain Incompetent.  I was definitely not an elite player, but I had fun anyway.

I'd be very happy to just be street sweeping right now.

Confession: sometimes I would join pugs and deliberately play in a way that was superficially poor, but in a way that generated good results.  Its actually not easy to look like you don't know what you're doing, while actually performing unexpectedly better than people expect, but knockback is one of those ways to look awful and then suddenly look "lucky" when things just happen to end up in the best possible positions.

Once I took my blaster build optimized for knockback into a pug and told them I was sorry but I only knew how to hover-snipe.  I then proceeded to run the entire mission hovering over every spawn while spamming explosive blast and torrent downward, pretty much keeping every single target permanently lying flat on the ground.  I got a lot of "just keep doing that" comments.
