Or the edge of space, or the tube the planet destroying death-laser shoots out of...
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."

Their latte's also don't carry the warning 'This beverage is hot, don't be an idiot and spill it in your lap'.

That just gave me the hilarious image of Darth Vader sans mask, advertising the dangers of hot beverages not in their proper containers.

People in that universe know better than to walk too close to a 30km drop. ;)
Fortunately the Gungans don't come over to visit very often.

Maybe Gungans are exactly the reason why there's no railings. For the lulz.

I suspect that's the exact reason there ARE no Gungans in the future.  ;D

I read Fulcrum's post as referring to Star Wars' future;  that is, episodes 4-6.

Halfway through the trading day and NCsoft is down 7% whilst KOSPI is up .6%.

The star wars derail in this thread gave me my biggest lol of the day.

Just looked over today's stocks.

Is that the Korean article doing that? 'Cause that right there is what we 'round here call a faceplant! Yippie ki-yay, m___ ___s!

Since the Unity rally, their stock has been cut in half.

I imagine it helped, but the "realignment" of NCSoft West was also a huge factor.

I personally do not want anyone to lose their jobs.  Except Kim and his wife.

I hope ArenaNet can buy their firm back and have everyone keep his or her job.

I want someone to buy City that will treat it and the studio properly.
I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido

Does this mean we'll have to delay your flight, VV? ;)

All I can picture is that series of strips in Bloom County where they tried to send Cutter John into space and Opus got stuck on the wheelchair:

This is not going to make for happy stockholders, who will be looking for ANY way to make money and will ruthlessly shitcan anyone that gets in the way.

Garriott might be able to buy back Tabula Rasa, the Auto Assault guys might get THEIR game back
Who knows, the whole vault might get emptied.

Wow, that would be a great turnabout...    Even better if we were the direct result of it.

You know... the lawnchair balloon notion just gave me an insane campaign idea.

How about we do the weather balloon thing, and launch Statesman to the edge of space with a "SaveCoH" ribbon, or a message for Disney attached to him?

Those amateur space videos get TONS of youtube hits.

Dunno, maybe I really AM drunk, but that seems like it'd be a blast even just to try.

I'm tired, so I may be wrong, but a 12,000 won drop (so far) at 21.9 million shares seems to work out to about a $232 million loss today.  That had to have raised some eyebrows.
