Completely fake CoH news (for fun while we wait for real updates)

A slightly older version of the game was to be included in the deal. Footage can be found here:

Due to NC "accidentally" loosing the current source code, an older version of the game had to be included in the deal. Footage can be found here:

Oh good. I always hated how they had sliders and costumes and power sets and stuff. :)

Today, members of the negotiating team said, "I'm not wearing pants."
This confused the NC Soft team and everybody started dancing.
More details as they become available.

Additional information has become available. It appears as if someone's ring tone was set to "Harlem shake", and this was a contributing factor.

Update 8/18/2014 1:49 a.m.: NCSoft staff responsible for the negotiations have included an addendum to their documentation that is more akin to a musician's contract rider than actual terms of any business dealings. Not all details have been released but according to our source inside their offices, all CoX fans associated with the Titan Network and Project Hail Mary should exhaust every resource obtaining an albino goat, a slab of granite (less than 20 lbs. for shipping purposes) resembling Abraham Lincoln, and the front left quarter panel from a 1954 Studebaker Champion.

On an unrelated note, the VP of NCSoft marketing has asked that we keep an eye out for a Pomeranian named Mister Fluffles. She is brown and white with one ear longer than the other, and while she responds well to sardines she is deathly afraid of people with large noses.

Further updates will be posted as the situation develops.

Sounds like someone listens to Car Talk.  ;)

Leaked today on Wikileaks; the NSA not only failed to ever infiltrate City of Heroes servers, but, on accessing customer level equipment, were somehow confused and repelled by someone refusing to answer to the name Nemesis. This can neither be confirmed nor denied, and may or may not be a misdirect.

Details as the story develops.

It was found out earlier that Statesman is real after a unidentified person captured a 30 sec video from their cell phone, more news of this as is comes in.

[Ryo Kinsaru]

Update 8/19/2014 8:11 p.m.: The Abe Lincoln slab of granite has been acquired. The left front quarter panel for the 1954 Studebaker Champion has been located and, according to Timmy Johnson who mows their lawn, Mr. and Mrs. Gunderson will be vacationing in Santa Monica this weekend and the quarter panel will be readily available. The albino goat remains elusive.

No updates on Mr. Fluffles at this time.

Shifter, speaking for at myself, we all hate you.
Or we hate the healthcare legislation.
