This rocks!  And great job, Mercedes!

Anyone know if there's a Korean-language equivalent from the same publisher such that it might get further notice in Korean itself?

In my experience, if one newspaper in a locality picks up on a story, their competitors follow suit.  I'm hoping that holds true in the Korean press :)

If we get our game back, will anyone make a charcter called "Baffled Analyst"? :P

Undoubtedly.  Though I'd make a Super-Strength/Willpower brute called 'Underestimated Resolve'.

And I'd petition for a new villain group loosely based on NCsoft. 



I suspect that they'd become the new 'Council' in no time at all.   ;)

Why do I get the feeling that this article isn't what VV would consider her 'nuclear option?'

Because VV is a smart, creative, and terrifying woman when she chooses to be, and we all love her dearly for it? >.>

No, when VV goes nuclear, I expect we'll see the blast all the way from Mercury.

This is a woman who could honestly consider World Domination as a secondary career path.    If she does, I'm on board.

I would probably make one called "The Little Guy". He'd probably be a Scrapper of some sort loaded with Wakies. He just won't stay down. :)

That'd be that thing she mentioned with a bunch of balloons tied to a lawn chair.

Nobody'd see that coming. 8)

Well way to go VV!

Oh I bought one of your books. Sorry I am not a big reader and I dont "think" I heard your name until recently but yeah.

Basically some of what I read there like it being unethical to stop making something your making profit on is what I agree with completely.
I guess in a way its a more simple and smarter way of saying what I was thinking lol.


Actually I am gonna do a test. I am gonna Ask Nintendo and demand for a supervisor to answer this question...a hypothetical and they have always answered me back because Nintendo is cool.

Hypothetical - I will be posting the answer back here to see.

Let's say you had a game where its "online" You created this game Eight years ago and to this day you are making steady revenue and a good amount of profit from keeping the game going and even though you are paying the development team to keep making new updates for the game and after all of the other costs. As I said you are still making a considerable amount of money from this game.
Do you think it would be unethical to shut the game down and fire your entire development team without warning and without stating your exact reasons to the public or your dev team?

Gonna go ahead and ask them that....see what they say lol.

With whatever cooling unit Drake's is using, I could overclock my PC by about 3500%

This is how I'm feeling:

Lyrics:

Not Dead Yet

 Well, I was born too late to be a Rolling Stone I don't know Jerry Lee, I never met John and Yoko Standin' with a strat, I'm rock n' roll's bastard son Go out, get drunk, get wild, have fun

I don't got a million dollars, don't drive a Cadillac Give me half a chance 'cause I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet, oh no, I'm not dead yet I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back You better get a bigger gun, I'm not dead yet

I've been machine-gunned, handgunned, hijacked, left for dead Dive-bombed, napalmed, nuclear warheaded Dropped from a jet plane with no parachute Which shot by a firing squad and raped by a business suit

I'm dancin' on a land mine, baby, one leg left And I can still crawl and I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet, oh no, I'm not dead yet I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back You better get a bigger gun, I'm not dead yet

Well you're bigger, tougher, meaner, rougher Dirtier and uglier and sneakier and trickier You wanna shoot me with a gun, cut me with a knife Take your bare hands baby, rip out my eyes

You knocked me to the floor then you bit me in the neck, well Hit me again 'cause I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet, no no I'm not dead yet Well I'm a wild card hidin' in the middle of the deck You better get a bigger gun, you better get a bigger gun

Well there's a mugger in the alley, there's a sniper in the hall There's a girl at the bar who wants to get me by my balls And the hangman is hangin', if I autograph the noose Lee Harvey Oswald's brother's on the loose

Mafia hit man with a bullet for my neck Some day he's gonna get me but I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet, I'm not dead yet Well I'm a wild card hidin' in the middle of the deck You better get a bigger gun, you better get your poison pen

I'm not dead yet, not me, I'm not dead yet Well, I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back You better get a bigger gun, go, go, go

I'm not dead yet, I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet, I'm not dead yet

Well, I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back You better get a bigger gun, I'm not dead yet

I am not dead yet and will continue the fight!

Hope it was worth it, cause now this on your front door.

I was led to believe the dark side had cookies, not ketchup. False advertising.
