When I started my career at Massively, I wasn't hired to be the <a href="http://www.cityofheroes.com"><em>City of Heroes</em></a> guy. I wasn't hired to be the <em>anything</em> guy, although I quickly earned a reputation. It was a few months after I got hired that I got the opportunity to start doing a pair of weekly columns, one on <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/City-of-Heroes/">City of Heroes</a></em> and one about the online <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Final-Fantasy/">Final Fantasy</a></em> installments. This was due to the fact that my affection for <em>City of Heroes</em> was well-known on staff, and I was already knee-deep in the game, so...<br />
<br />
It wasn't quite three years ago, but it was close enough. And I've said many times that my professional career has been tied in directly with <em>City of Heroes</em> because of that. As I've grown as a writer and a journalist, I've been working alongside <em>City of Heroes</em>. So today I'm not going to talk as much about the game itself. I'm going to talk about the people of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Paragon-Studios/">Paragon Studios</a>, some of whom I had the good fortune to interact with over the years and all of whom seem to be absolutely astonishing human beings.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/09/19/a-mild-mannered-reporter-a-personal-tribute-to-paragon-studios/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>A Mild-Mannered Reporter: A personal tribute to Paragon Studios</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/09/19/a-mild-mannered-reporter-a-personal-tribute-to-paragon-studios/">A Mild-Mannered Reporter: A personal tribute to Paragon Studios</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:30:00 EST.
