GameSpy’s Issue 7 Coverage

“Issue 7: Destiny Manifest marks the end of a stunning evolutionary period for City of Heroes and City of Villains. The game I've been playing like a madman for the last week simply can't be compared to the fun but shallow experience I had when I first loaded up City of Heroes in 2004. Over the last few years, this game has metamorphosed into a deep and satisfying MMO. If you haven't experienced City of Heroes/Villains before, this is a good time to get on board. If you have, this is an even better time to come back.”

Tsoo Villain Backgrounder

The smell of alcohol and anxious sweat lingered in the warped wood and chipped paint, long baked into the cement floor under the heat of the incandescent lighting. Cutting through it all was a whiff of burnt chemicals from the autoclave, humming away to itself in the back corner. The walls were covered with yellowing posters of flash, the clichéd tattoo designs so often chosen by drunken frat boys and wannabe gangsters.

Lounging at the front counter was a large, burly Chinese man – the tattoo “artist,” chosen more for his abilities as a bouncer than any inherent talent. Found throughout Paragon, but especially in the neighborhoods of Talos Island, Independence Port, and Steel Canyon, tattoo parlors such as these acted as fronts and gathering points for one of Paragon’s most ambitious gangs: the Tsoo.
