Excerpt from a Cryptic Studios staff meeting, Oct. 29, 2009:
"Okay, guys, listen up. I know we were all excited about the promotion we were going to run when the one millionth hero was created within Champions Online (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/champions-online). You know, we'd take the lucky crimefighter and base a short series of graphic novels on him or her, ultimately culminating in a three-picture deal with Paramount and keeping the hero's creator -- and as a bonus, our game -- in the pop cultural spotlight? Well, we just heard from moderators that the one millionth hero was named ... Boner Dragon."
"Boner Dragon?"
"Boner Dragon."
"I think we should just do a press release (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/more-than-one-million-heroes-created-in-acclaimed-mmo-champions-onlinetm-67231467.html) instead. A press release which deftly avoids mentioning the hero's name."
"That is an excellent idea, Jeffrey."http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)One million heroes fighting crime in Champions Online (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/29/one-million-heroes-fighting-crime-in-champions-online/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:30:00 EST.
