So they're looking for people that know how to handle balls.

I am Lord Omi. Now and forever. They can take our City, but they can't take me.

Well they did buy Ntreev and one of their casual games is a Fantasy Baseball game. Of course that probably has nothing to do with this, probably a lot of baseball metaphors about skills or qualities desired.

Well perhaps they're trying to teach recruits the infamous "Montreal Expos maneuver", where you take a small foreign-based franchise, close it down, and--

Hey wait a second, that sounds familiar somehow...

Taek-Jin the Tyrant: "We need to rub salt in their wounds. What do you propose, my dear?"

Sinister Song-yee: *holds up a baseball* "We buy out their baseball teams, bring them to Korea, and then... " *crushes baseball*

Taek-Jin the Tyrant:" Oh, you are a truly wicked woman!"

*evil laughing and champagne commence*

(as read left to right, top to bottom, like a book)

1) Create the game of baseball.
2) Tell us it's really fun.
3) "Baseball is a party!" they say.
4) Unexpectedly punch us in the face (probably using 6 slotted Brawl), and magically, the baseball stays on their wrist... which further stuns.... I mean... it's STILL THERE...
5) "KACHAOW!" or something like that. Be better if it were tilted like '60s Batman.
6) Take our baseball away from us.
7) CRUSH the baseball, and our dreams. Oh noes...
8) But what's this? A Savior of our beloved baseball?
9) INDEED! Our baseball is SAVED!!!

Only maybe change 'baseball' for 'Paragon/City of Heroes' as needed.

Yeah. Not thinkin' it's right, but it's what I saw *right off*.

Yes, I'm not normal compared to some... but I'm OK with my offcenteredness. It produces things like Brawling Humiliator, after all.

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

LOL good commentary! Except...

8) Blade and Soul, we tease you with a hint of boob.
9) You know you want the shiny new baseball....


Frankie says it best.

Clearly, shirts are optional at NCSoft. Where do I apply?
