What are some of the things you love the most about Paragon Studios?

Matt "Positron" Miller, Lead Systems Designer

"I love the fact that everyone who is working on the game loves the game with a passion. I'd love to say it's all the after-hours gaming that goes on here, but the fact is, everyone seems to be working on making City of Heroes better in those after hours instead."

Melissa "War Witch" Bianco, Lead Designer

" The people - I don't care how 'perfect' your job may seem, if you can't get along with CoH Influence the people you work with, it's wasted. I have such joy working with these people, they're funny and smart and passionate and creative. "
"I go to work and I get to have posters and pictures and SWAG hanging around all over my cube and no one gets mad!"
"I love that we have events like BBQs, and Bounce Houses, and Bowling, and parties - we get to hang out socially, too, not just professionally."
"We've all come to know and love Stinky, the neighborhood skunk who hangs out on occasion"
"My team, they rock."
"I don't love the Tetris machine anymore, but that's only because I'm really bad at it."
"The correspondence Wall - anytime we get a post card or a letter, it goes up there - those are always really fun to read (I love that people take the time to write them!)"
"My morning walks with Television and sometimes Black Scorpion, or whomever else we can drag out at 7:15 a.m. to go to Starbucks. I'm already on my Green Reward Program, trying to catch up to Black Scorpion who already has his Gold card. Yes, I'm an achievement type girl."

Nate "Second Measure"Birkholz, Lead Producer.
