In this developer diary for Champions Online, Cryptic explores the secret origins of the company and how it wound up creating a superhero MMO.

I love videos like this, personally. As much as I enjoy playing the games themselves, I find the stories behind the formation of the companies that create them fascinating. Having a deeper insight into how and why Cryptic Studios formed and the motivation behind the creation of Champions Online might not enhance the gameplay, but it can make you look at their creation in a slightly different light.
