First time I decided to check this thread and quickly realized that I hate it, lol.

You sort of love to hate it.  It's like watching a car wreck.

Speaking of which, CoH2 will have a vehicle travel power, but yes, random collisions at regular intervals.

To further expand on this, after the crash the players will only use punch when confronting one another or a npc. Swear words are highly recommended. :D

Any hero caught punching civies after a car wreck will be arrested by Longbow, and made to server community service by sweeping the sidewalks of Atlas Park with a very shoddy broom.

the vehicle travel power mechanics will also be based on the Mako physics from Mass Effect 1

Absolutely not - fezzes are cool, no fezzes.  Or bow ties.  They should be wearing a propeller beanie!

In bizarre twist during negotiations, NCSoft announced that it has buried all remaining data, servers and physical resources in a large 'techno' grave just outside its main offices.

A marker was erected to the now defunct CoX, commemorating its accomplishments in the form of a statue of the Prussian Prince of Automatons.

When asked about the move, the NCSoft representative only remarked "It's a Nemesis plot."
It takes a village to raise a child. And it takes a villain to explain the value of lunch money.

-Random CoHer: "Why does the sky turn green during Rikti invasions?"
-Me:"Rikti Monkey farts"
-Random CoHer: "I'm going to you for all my questions from now on!"

Hewlett Packard ( HP) has announced they are splitting the company into two individual companies.

The new names will be Company H, (COH), and company P on Carly Fiorina.

COH is expected to make a remarkable recovery after the separation. No one is forecasted to care for P or Fiorina any longer.

You know there is a law against bad puns.  The punishment for said offense is similar to that outlined above for punching civies.

Well, there ought to be.

Oh no, you did NOT just bash on my spinny-hats!!! Ooooh, I will find you, and I will feed you one, and I will make you dance around Atlas Park wearing a tutu and yelling, "I'm a pretty princess!". All of this will happen as soon as SpongeBob goes off or the game is back up, whichever comes first.

P.S. - So as not to appear sexist, if you are a lady I will tattoo a moustache on your upper lip and you will henceforth be known as Earl the Squirrel.
I can't think of anything clever to place here as I am currently over-caffeinated on very little sleep. All the cool people have a signature, so I will drop random text here trying to fit in.

Aleksandros

Hrm... I may do that regardless, just at sheer joy of being back in Atlas Park!  No hate for the spinny hats - perhaps dress them as Sontarans and make them wear an "I <3 Idaho" T-shirt?

NCSoft announces the return of Superhero MMO "City of Heroes", however for some reason NCSoft programmers can't figure out... the chat system is completely missing. Lead Programer, Steve Steverson, is quoted as saying "We don't know what happened. We're sifting through the code base now... But 3 of our team have quit from work related headaches so far. Don't expect a fix any time soon...".

News flash ...
The THeM team announced today that they still can't find the NCSoft headquarters building.  Tony or that other guy said, "We've been driving around for hours and due to construction and the language differences we're [grapefruit] lost!"

Task Force Hail Mary's name has been changed to Exploring South Korea.
(We hope it's South).

...Well there's their problem!  They need to look for the Nexion building, they sold off the NC headquarters to pay for more browser-based slot machine development like, a year ago.

I kinda do hope I'm kidding. But a tiny evil little part of me hopes I'm not.

NCsoft is now in negotiations with Bungie to rebrand the chatless CoH as Destiny of Heroes and Villains.
So far so good. Onward and upward!

News flash,
To counter the missing chat system, all players will have access to the alphabet emote.
So /em A will result in your toon holding a cardboard sign with the letter A on it.
PC Gaming Online heralded this workaround as nothing short of brilliant.

There still isn't a good workaround for the missing pants costume files.
The two ideas on the table are, extend the height of the boots or unlock skirts for male and huge toons.  Neither idea has been approved.
