Earlier today, Paragon Studios' Community Manager, Andy Belford, made a post of the City of Heroes  site that Paragon Studios will be closing.  This decision comes from NC Soft "in a realignment of company focus and publishing support".  As such, all subscription billing and Paragon Market purchasing have been discontinued.  He goes on to say "I implore you all, fovus on the good things of CoH and Paragon Studios.  Don't dwell on the "how" or the "why", but rather join us in celebrating the legacy of an amazing partnership between players and the development team." City of Heroes  was launched in North America on April 27, 2004.  Over the course of its eight year run, there have been 23 free updates and two major expansions released.  It was my first MMO and I met @Shaihulude because of it.  I spent plenty of hours bringing down the forces of evil and just hanging out during the many incredible holiday events.

It's been a while since we've heard anything about Army of Two .  The last entry in the series, The 40th Day , was less than stellar and fans' hope for a continuation of the series was understandably low.  Since then, Dead Space  developer, Visceral Games, have picked up the series. They promise a more mature and darker story-line revolving around new characters, Alpha and Bravo.  Visceral Games won me over long ago with the first Dead Space , so I'm confident in their ability to give Army of Two  the treatment it deserves.

Until August 28th, TERA  is on sale!  Pick up the standard edition for $14.99 or the collector's edition for $19.99!  Both come with the standard first month of gameplay included.  However, the collector's edition also comes with some account-bound accessories and the totally bitchin' Regal Frostlion Mount.  The mount alone is worth that!

I'm wicked late to the party and they've already raised enough to buy the property, but you and I can still help by contributing even more money!  The money left over from the property purchase will go towards building the museum/science center itself. Go!   Donate Now !

This weekend (August 24th - August 26th) marks another bounty weekend for Mass Effect 3 .  This weekend's mission should be an easy one. While I'm not keen on starting all over on my N7 Shadow, it's for the greater good.  Plus, the increase to medi-gel capacity won't hurt. From BioWare's blog : "A training center will only take a recruit so far.  Our recruits need field experience, so it's time to integrate them with seasoned squads during our next series of sweeps. Individual Goal:   Promote 2 characters Allied Goal: Promote 50,000 characters Special Circumstance:  None Individual Goal Success: All players awarded a Commendation Pack Allied Goal Success:  All players awarded a victory Pack and an increase to medi-gel capacity"
