NCSOFT: What the F is wrong with you?

[DrakeGrimm]

The best part is I had Serenity playing.....

*high-five!*

[The-Hunter-JLJ]

Yep, no downside there.

See, I'd totally go the Batman route and invoke fear and terror into them individually. But that's just me. :P

I have a very twisted sense of humor.

Massive walking war machine shadowing the building, a few clumps of trees smoldering as warning shots... and speakers mounted onto the hull of the thing, playing the most inappropriately happy music imaginable.

Track 1: Nyan Cat
Track 2: Hamster Dance
Track 3.....

Track 3.....

Ice cream truck music.

I like the cut of your gibberish, sir! :D

I really annoyed the engineers at work one day when a loop of that tune that greeted them as they walked through the door. They got the point. (grin)

I aim to misbehave...

Yakety-Sax.

YES!!

You too? Must be 2012. Man. @#$% 2012. With a [censored for your poor virgin eyes].

On the plus side, Kleenex sales must be going through the roof. That's gotta be good for the economy?

The Worlds.com lawsuit is one of those nuisance suits, where they file an incredibly vague patent, wait for it to get approved, they sue everyone in sight in hopes of collecting some "for God's sake, go AWAY!" money from them.  They have sued every single MMORPG on the planet.

As I said to my husband during one of my bouts of going through an entire box of Kleenex, "Everything that was good or fun or cool is being yanked away from us."

This called to mind a line from an underappreciated tabletop RPG. I share it here to inspire, not to recriminate.

Many times through the years, a young Templar has come to Simon privately and told him of her sorrows and travails. Sometimes bearing the load of the world on one's shoulders can wear down even the hardened knights of the order. On these occasions, the Grand Master has listened sympathetically, patted the despairing Templar on the back, and comforted her with a single word: "Endure."

In our own ways, we all find inspiration in our favorite stories, which is why we'll fight so hard to save them
