"...a realignment of company focus"

[Kosmos]

I got yer "realignment of company focus" right here

(note the "uncanny valley" face on top of the pole-dancing stripper's neck.  Codewalker was particularly creeped out by that)

You know... I don't think it's possible to go too far in ridiculing that game.

... On some level, I thought that we were being hard on Blade & Soul because it was being pushed to replace our beloved CoH.

With this... oh, hell, no.  I don't think we were being hard enough.

I like cheesecake, yes.  No need to go into detail about that.  But this... this is just... it's just pandering.  You expect to see this sort of thing in Second Life.  And with the awful anatomy of the character, I just... what.

I'll be genuinely yet unhappily surprised if this doesn't garner B&S an M rating.

If it doesn't, maybe we should write/email whichever organization that decides those ratings and complain...

Argh... so tempted to click it... but at work... *scans surroundings... clicks!*

[Knightslayer]

Ah, it's basically one of Aion's dances - except performed poorly. (I think it's Aion at least, except they don't do the whole bending over in that version)

[Rotten Luck]

Quick splice that video with one of a Coh Character face palming.  Then text Is that what replacing CoH?  Then youtube!

For full race exhibit... Comments?

I'd say I could tolerate Dynasty Warrior Online's dance emotes better than these...

[Turjan]

Saddest thing for me is the background is actually rather pretty. Well, apart from when the cranes take off from the trees it looks like the animation is missing half its frames ;)

I watched this video and kept wanting the mincing bimbo to get out of the way so I have a look at the scenery...and it suddenly reminded me of something - you know that shark image where the guy's complaining he was trying to watch the water?

Well, I couldn't resist a bit of tinkering... ;)

For some reason her face in that screenshot reminds me of a Tim Burton movie. O.O

Let me know when this is up, I'm laughing already just at the thought and think it would be a cool, clever why to get the word out on this aspect of our efforts. I'd so post it to my FB friends in a second.

Just my two cents, but I think it needs a set-up graphic. I'd go into it with something like: NCSoft is doing "a realignment of company focus" with it's release of Blade & Soul. Then play the stripper video and/or some of the walking animations I've seen to. Then the Facepalm CoH guy and your text.

[Rotten Luck]

I Don't have the Video editing program to set that up.  Would have to be someone else project. 

I like the idea of having the quote of NCsoft anouncing the refocus and then having the ..(shivers).. Dancing/walking animation.  Then cut to the Coh face palming.

[Back Blast]

Man, all those female toons need to complete their dance emotes is a stripper pole...

[pandora114]

those make the Nelf dance in WoW look tame.  :o

[Victoria Victrix]

I've seen the pole-dancer emote that got put in Tabula Rasa.

Frankly, I think the Tabula Rasa pole dancer was tame...and more attractive...than this.

But are you also pretty and witty?

Someone really needs to make those Video ideas!

And her is another have the Dance video playing and overlay the sound with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A

That would be pointing at the fact these B of S figures are Fakes. 

and another anti-Blade of Souls video

Video showing the oversexed style then cutting to a World of Warcraft Goblin in front of Goldshire's bar.  Then the audio of the goblin saying "Damn that's F**ked up."

Damn straight! um..err..

(I sing that to my friends all the time.)

On something completely different... here a cheer us up song.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_LPJllaogU&feature=relmfu

Need a shot of that monster attacking the city with the NCsoft cap on!
