The first full team photo
The Punishment Squad relax after destroying another Troll base. The Squad has been out in force over the weekend and we have grown in number and experience. Jus to let you know who is who.... back L to R: Blast, Flames, Brit Kid, Cliff. Front L to R: Doc Deranga, Techno-Slash and Trauma.
We met this lovely (we thought!) girl on saturday. She proceed in the middle of a nasty mission to drop her keks to photocopy her arse. To sell to the Paragon Times! Even Capes are fame crazy!
Heroing isn't as glamorous as you would think. its not all bright suits and jumping around. There is a amount of pain and suffering that no ordinary person would understand. Last night, on a raid in the hollows we took heavy casualties. All those injured will live to fight another day (once they pay their medical bills). My grattitude to those brave men.
We fought on, through what seemed to be a unstoppable force of ever growing scumbags.
Eventually we defeated every last one. We shall always win, because We will always be better! For we are THE PARAGON PUNISHMENT SQUAD
Heroing... more addictive than Heroin
A few more hours have passed and the City just gets more enthralling. After earning the Flight power, Techno spent quite abit of time... just poncing round the city being a flying tart! Eventually, he did come down for some ass kicking.
A New day... a new team-up. Ofzmah (pictured centre) joined our ragged band to help work off her 7000 XP Debt. I hope that goes well for her....
A bizarre meeting.... This Flames (on the right) meeting DARK Flames for the first time. They even look quite similar. Maybe Techno has a evil twin lurking in the city.
Whats worse than being frozen in ice.... How about being frozen in ice whilst in the middle of a crap 80's dance!! Oh dear.... my street cred just gets worse and worse
Up, Up and Away.....
I did it... I did it.... I DID IT! Last night, I managed to earn enough XP to reach Level 14. Big whoop I hear you cry. Well, Level 14 allows me to select a new Super Power and now I can FLY! your heart Superman! Spent a few minutes swooping around Paragon. Truly beautiful.
Its was the perfect end to the night. Started with a Team-up with Flames (always a pleasure), moved onto a meet-up with Trauma and finally Brit Kid joined the fray. We battled across the hollows, steel canyon and finally we battled our way out of Perez Park, heavily outnumbered.
Got some pics from the patrol.... will post them later on.
Meanwhile, News from the real world... I hate my job and all the dicks that work here. Sick to death of being treated as some kind of spanner monkey. Rant over.
Trauma (Mike T) finally joins the Squad
The amazing Flames.... a great team-mate
The Whole gang, Techno-Slash, Brit Kid and Trauma
Paragon Punishment Squad to the rescue
Finally, true flight!!
Welcome to the Squad... recruit
As you can see things have had a change round here. Well this blog is about to change as well. It is now the Official home to the PARAGON PUNISHMENT SQUAD. A band of Heroes dedicated to kick crime on its arse.
Seeing as for the last week, I have pretty much done nothing but play City of Heroes non-stop (with the occasional break for work). I can see that it will be taken up more of my time (Brit Kid and Suspiria's too). So I will be using this space to detail the events that have happened in Paragon City. Hopefully some funny.... some cool.
Enjoy the show
Mark a.k.a. Techno-Slash

Paragon Update - Valentines Day Massacres
How does a Super-Hero celebrate love? Well... how about beating criminals to a pulp. Heroes love doing that. So, Techno-Slash set off for Paragon and entered in to the lovely landscape of "Boomtown". Would you believe that this part of town went.... well Boom!
It was not too long before the Squad joined up. Met up with Brit Kid and took out a base full of Clockwork robots in order to rescue 5 kidnapped scientists. This shot shows our tremendous Night-Glo team attire. It will be all the rage in Milan soon, Trust Me!
Beneath the city, in the Clockwork base. The Punishment Squad enjoy another Blinding victory over evil and badly made rusty robots. Soon, we were called to join a team that needed or help. Some gang members had made a base in the Hills around the Hollows. Our leader for this mission was Charles Bronson in a previous life, but he was now known as Generic521. Strange...?
Death of a True Hero... Charles died in the midst of huge battle. We stood around his lifeless corpse and waited for him to respawn and come back to us.?? Also here you can see (from the left) Blastor, The Judge and Firestar (I think). The Judge has joined our Punishment squad and hopes to serve us well.
"Myyyy Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. Damn right! Its better than yours...."
Its not all fighting and spandex.... sometimes its booty's in spandex
The patrol was coming to a close...and we were down to 3. When this mechanised beast ran past us. A Paladin! A monster of a machine, intend on destroying the city. The 3 of us rushed into action and held it off whilst calling for a city wide emergency. We held it off for 20 mins before the Higher powered capes turned up. Special mention here to Brit Kid for his selfless sacrifice in the pursuit of Justice.
After that.... the team left to lick its wounds and count the debt we earned. I thought it would be nice to watch the sun rise over Paragon before heading off to bed. Good Work Squad.... lets see what tomorrow brings.
As you may of gathered from the post below. I am hooked by a new PC game, City of Heroes. It is a Massively Multiplayer Online game in which you take the role of your own created Super-Hero.
Luckily for me I am not alone in this. I have the support of Brit Kid (Mark O) and Suspiria (Mike T) and we are raising hell. Expect quite a few tales in the following months.
To start things off, On Friday there was a rave to celebrate the first online week in europe. All the heroes gathered and many good moves were thrown on the dance floor. This was especially good for me, as I wasn't very well on Friday night and had to stay at home whilst Fi and gang went to see Y2J's band Fozzy at the Mean Fiddler.
Well, today I was running through the Official City of Heroes forum and what do I find....
My hero's photo on the party post!!

FAME AT LAST!
Its a hard life for a Super Hero...
People think we just fly around all the time looking cool.
But they don't understand the pressure we are under. For Example, Super-Women are huge and demanding.
The same old rubbish in the papers, saying how we could of just
arrested the gang members and not pushed them off the top floor of a office block.
A good mate makes more bearable, you can tell everyone it was his fault.
Thank God, you can just dance the night away once in a while.
They call me Mellow Yellow
