They have one of those right?

I think they have OVER NINE THOU - oh wait, we already used that one.

*shrugs* Dunno.

Where, in this statement, did I use the word "illicit?"  It does not exist in this statement.
Obviously not there.  However between this

And one might speculate why someone would do something like that.  Why on earth would someone want to transfer money to another entity and get nothing from it?  (Hint:  Two words.  First word: rhymes with honey.  Second word: rhymes with maundering)

and this

I never said it wasn't legal.  It's perfectly legal.  It's also wide open to Honey Maundering.  That's why Honey Maundering is so widespread, it uses legal ways to clean illicit cash.

And if you were trying to put another level of obfuscation between you and the company (NCSoft Interactive) that you had been using to Maunder Honey, wouldn't you close that company and resell its assets to another shell company?
You are certainly suggesting something not on the up and up.

Also again it shows that you don't understand business terminology.  A shell company is nothing like a holding company.  Shell companies do not have assets, they are simply entities that money passes through.  This new NCSoft subsidiary now owns NC Interactive and have both Carbine and ArenaNet at least reporting to them.

All businesses are not run by Mr Burns.  Every business decision you (the general you not you VV in particular) disagree with is a result of a personal vendetta, a punishment to noisy customers or setting an example to keep the rest of their employees in line.  The echo chamber here makes every off the wall suggestion into yet another conspiracy theory to screw us, their current and former employees or a way to line their pockets with the profits of their nefarious deeds.  I know that as comic fans and players of the best hero MMO that has ever come along means that we are use to the idea of shadowy groups or corrupt businessmen or influential people abusing their power but that rarely happens in real life (rarely as in compared to the whole, we do hear about such examples but my point is that we don't hear the 99.999% where it doesn't happen).  Most of the time it's simple stupidity, group think or unfortunate series of events.

Again, NC Interactive didn't get dissolved and reformed as this new entity.  Only it's ownership changed hands and that's only on paper.  Now if this new holding company is really meant to be a firewall between the parent companies capricious mandates or provide some local empowerment for handling the western markets, according to some of the info at glassdoor are problems with the previous running of things, then this is good news for those still remaining at NCSoft's western properties.  I know good news for any part of NCSoft is anathema for some here, the hate is strong with us but don't let the hate and rage blind you all to the greater goal.  You can't expect them to sit down with a group that thinks of them as every worse stereotype of a greedy businessman in the book.

Each of those will be worth five Korean Wons.

That is the exchange rate the bank of Korea will set... AFTER I'VE KIDNAPPED THEIR QUEEN.

They have one of those right?
And you are now my favorite person of the day. Anyone who paraphrases Raul Julia's hilariously over the top M. Bison is tops in my book.

Also, this!

Who was he talking about there, Sagat or NCsoft? I can't remember.

Probably both. I think Sagat actually runs NCSoft from behind the scenes.

*removes tongue from cheek*

That said, it could indeed make a good NCSoft mockery image :)

Aw, thanks! :)

Raul Julia's M. Bison may be one of the best things to happen to film ever. If I could somehow edit a movie together to combine Reb Brown clips (Space Mutiny, Captain America, etc) with Street Fighter to make them nemesi, I think it would make the best thing ever.

But as for Sagat running NCSoft?

Agreed! He's the reason why "Street Fighter" is one of my not-so-guilty pleasures. Its one of those classic films that's so bad, it wraps right back around to "good" again. Raul was awesome.

Dear, sweet ju-ju bees, that would be so hilariously awesome, it might crack the internets in twain! :D

Raul Julia's M. Bison is the work of a dying man who just doesn't give a damn. He's hamming it up, chewing scenery whenever possible, and generally just trying to have fun. And due to Julia's raw talent, the resulting work is nothing less than glorious. It really is a genuinely good performance, just not for the reasons most people consider when talking about a good performance in a film.

Raul took that part for his kids, and it looks like the man had a blast. As such, I love that performance.

I remember the SF movie coming out the one time I made it to SDCC.  I think I had a choice of waiting in line for the SF movie panel or the Babylon 5 panel (or maybe the Rumiko Takahashi panel, it was nearly 20 years ago).  I do remember them trying to drum up more interest for the SF movie panel, trying to pull people from the other lines. 

I think I picked up some SF movie swag there.  I also played blackjack at the same table as Larry Niven (it was a charity casino event out on the patio).

Best damn quote of the movie - and possibly one of the top 5 villain quotes of all time:

Chun Li: You and your bullies were driven back by farmers with pitchforks! My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away! A hero... at a thousand paces.
Bison: I'm sorry. I don't remember any of it.
Chun Li: You don't remember?
Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

No argument there Atlantea. Bison had a lot of great lines, but that one? Aces  8)

That is absolutely in the top list for villain lines,  especially that delivery.

I hoped to meet NCSoft face-to-face on the battlefield, where we could engage each other in unarmed combat. Then I would snap their monopoly. But why? Why do they still call me an emo? And mad? All I want to do is to create the perfect casual MMORPG. Not for power, not for evil, but for good. The Phoenix Project shall be the first of many who shall march out of my studio and crush every adversary, every creed, every nation! Until the world is in the loving grip of the Pax Bisonica. And peace will reign and all humanity shall bow to me in humble gratitude.

Mister Bison,

I have already named my favorite person of the day, so you just earned a spot in the running for tomorrow :D

I should really create an award image for that, shouldn't I?

Anywhoozle, anyone thinking M. Bison vs NCSoft deserves a thread of its own?  8)
