Champions Online is going to be shown off at New York Comic Con. That goody two shoes – I mean – pinnacle of manhood, Defender, gets to go and I, the mighty Foxbat, don’t! What is this world coming to? Defender gets to hang out with Bill Roper and the dev team. Defender gets to give out swag – like superhero ID badges – to my adoring fans. That’s right, your beloved Foxbat won’t get to award beta keys to contest winners. I won’t get to test drive our new playable demos with you. And I won’t get to help our recruiter hand pick my future minions – er, the next batch of super people to join the Super Crew at Cryptic Studios.

No. I’m stuck here, holding down the fort and making sure everything’s still working, while Defender gets to go and hog the limelight!

Cryptic Meet and Greet: Saturday, 1 p.m. – 2 p.m., Room TBD*
Champions Online/Star Trek Online Panel: Saturday 3 p.m. – 4 p.m., Room 1A24 (view never before seen footage of STO)
MMO Round Table: Saturday 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., Room 1A24

Remember me while you’re off gallivanting with Defender. Think of me, Foxbat, slaving away in the coal mines, dying for just five minutes of Comic Con goodness.

(Those of us who aren’t pouting - like a certain batty fox - would like to thank Ten Ton Hammer for doing such a great job with programming and setting up so many fun panels at Comic Con!)

*Check in at the Cryptic booth (#1341) for the super-secret room location.
