While not directly CoH-related;

NCsoft set to crush Blizzard - with Bits and Tits.
Who do they think they're fooling? I've added my 150 characters to the comments, bringing up Tabula Rasa, but I'd suggest everyone adding their own two cents as well.

Edit: Aaannnnd that's an article from June. Nevermind!

Meh. Maybe the sales in Asia will be enough to contend with Diablo, but I don't see them suggesting that it's a WoW-killer.
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

You know, given that it is the Korean Times...and they do not much seem to like NCSoft...could this be a case of running the press release and then sitting back and waiting for the inevitable crash?

Err, I should point out the date on that article (unless I'm mistaken it dates back to 06/18).
And yes, for a while it surpassed Diablo 3 back in Korea IIRC.

Don't feel bad. I usually check dates, too, but I missed it on this one.

A little blurb about the closing of Paragon Studios. I've already informed him of what (so far as we know) happened to the gang, since he mentioned he had no clue what actually happened to the employees of Paragon.

As in deliberately choosing all the right words for the wrong reasons?

Classic propaganda/psychological warfare tactic, if so.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

I think I've got to thank YouTube.

I came across this video - and as far as I know, it's the first player created video. Makes me a mite nostalgic.
