One million heroes fighting crime in Champions Online
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. 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 instead. A press release which deftly avoids mentioning the hero's name."
"That is an excellent idea, Jeffrey."

I'd read a comic about a hero named "Boner Dragon."

Wait, how didn't they see this coming? Almost everyone in an MMO is called something like that.
johnnynumber5 @ Oct 29th 2009 7:58PM
pretty funny stuff ... boner dragon
this game ever coming to the 360? I know it was supposed to but last I heard cryptic said the balls was in MS's court. This would be an epic addition to their lineup.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 29th 2009 8:02PM
given microsofts record with every mmo ever, im guessing it's a definite no. After all, we're still waiting on that promised console version of age of conan

I'd love to read a graphic novel about a character named Boner Dragon. Holy shit, fucking do this.
Marco le Polo @ Oct 29th 2009 8:03PM
If it weren't for hero's like Boner Dragon we'd all perish for certain.
Alan Strangis @ Oct 29th 2009 8:42PM
All boner, no dragon.

Does Boner Dragon specialize in the solving of boner crimes?

I just want to say: I hate that red thing. Every time I see it, I hate it more.
Ryan @ Oct 30th 2009 9:15AM
And to think, I thought we'd end up with a "SSJGoku777" or a "Legolas1234".
JeezWhiz87 @ Oct 30th 2009 9:22AM
There may not be 1 million but there's probably over 9 thou..... *gets clubbed by the whole internets*
HedonisticKai @ Oct 30th 2009 9:53AM
Yeah, at least boner dragon is somewhat original. it actually isnt that bad... i mean yeah, it sounds horrible.. but it could be like a dragon skeleton..
