It has been a while since I’ve set foot in Paragon City but the good times there are not forgotten. Please enjoy these images of days gone by and remember to never forget the gallant sacrifices made by so many heroes.
Paragon City, they call it the city of heroes but really it is nothing more than a facade. Lurking in every alley, parking garage and dark street are dangers, even for a hero.
I roll solo so for me it is always a matter of watching my ass or else I’m through. I’ve kicked a lot of ass all throughout Paragon City but just look at this.
Me, face down in the sewer just after having had my ass handed to me on a platter. You win some and you lose some it’s just that in the city of heroes, Paragon City, the losing part can hurt.
But don’t worry about me kids, as you can see I always bounce back.
After all, it’s just a game.
Thursday. Another day in Paragon City. Life in The City of Heroes is never easy, especially for a super hero like me. All I’m trying to do is make an honest living so I can retire to Costa Rica one day but sometimes it’s hard. Take today for instance. I was heading down to the corner market to buy some smokes when out of nowhere I’m jumped by a gang of thugs. They didn’t want my wallet or my iPad, they just wanted to hassle me over my costume and that just isn’t cool. Sure I was able to put them down without much effort but should I even have to? I think not.
Anyhow, once that little bit of drama ended I figured my day would go a little smoother. Wrong. Just as I was about to enter the marker I find myself ambushed by a gal collecting signatures for some kind of cause. Cause? What about my cause? I just need some smokes.
Day 114: City of Heroes – Faultline
This past Saturday I rolled into the Faultline neighborhood in City of Heroes, quite intent on handing the bad guys their asses. I did not fail.
Maybe it was lack of sleep or maybe it was just too much caffeine but one thing was certain, I wasn’t taking any lip from any of the gangs down in Faultline.
I’ve said it more than once, being a super hero is tough. Even with my awesome powers it can be difficult gaining respect when you fly around in a skin tight outfit with your junk out on display for the whole world to see. I’ve been the victim of harassment on more than one occasion here in Paragon City. I remember this one time when I flew in and plucked a lady from the top of a burning building and while I was flying her to safety she was giving me an unwanted reach around. I’ll tell you what, that was awkward.
Even the gangs here in Faultline, well throughout Paragon City in general, will sometimes try and push my buttons with snide little comments even though it always ends the same way. With me handing them their asses on a platter.
All I want is to be shown a little respect. Don’t hate me because I look so good in spandex. I worked hard for this body. Anyways, I am gonna bounce for now. Thanks for hearing me out. If your ever in Paragon City feel free to look me up. We can have coffee or something.
