Mythica MMORPG Cancelled By Microsoft

Posted by simoniker on from the dead-before-being-alive dept.

Ivan writes "Microsoft announced that it has cancelled Mythica, its internally developed massively multiplayer PC RPG with a Nordic twist. The official website has the formal cancellation announcement, but additionally, 1UP spoke with MS reps who gave a few more details, noting 'the company had two MMORPG projects in development -- Mythica, and an as-yet-unannounced title. Rather than support the development and eventual maintenance of two MMORPGs in an already crowded and highly competitive market, Microsoft cancelled Mythica to make room for its other game.'"

    Good thing that video games aren't just more Matrix worlds... or else every cancellation would mean the deaths of thousands of people currently in beta form. And, following then trend of the Matrix movies themselves, any sequels would be spectacularly crappy.

    Hello everyone, I am a 40-year old gay black man who has been touring with the *GREAT* 8) Justing "His HOtness" Timberlake as his part-time keyboardist and backup dancer. Just last weekend we had done a show Minneapolis and it had lasted a little longer than usual (the crowd just couldn't get e'nuff of Justin -- Can you blame them????) and we were all sitting around the dressing room after the show, exhausted but still basking in the glow of another great performance! ... Well, everyone was kinda loose and just foolin' around, cracking jokes, you know, having a good time. Well, Justin got up and just started doing an impromptu rendition of "Rock your Body", all hot and sexy (such IntENsiTY!!). And, I just couldn't help myself, I jumped up there (okay, we had been drinking cosmos and long islands, but anyways) and started dancing with him!! And he was laughing and turned around and grinded with me, and I said, "oh Justin, I can feel your package!". .... And he got all pissed and called me a faggy!!

    OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG the great Justin Timberlake called me a faggy!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

  13. Tux touched my junk liberally by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Tux touched my junk liberally. He strapped me in to his Tuxmobile and he couldnt keep his offensive flippers off of me. He was performing many red flag touches. I couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. I told Tux the city would not approve of a penguin touching an underage kid for free.

    Can you believe it? Tux did all this. He picked me off the street, strapped my arms and legs down in the Tuxmobile's passenger seat, and just wouldn't stop fondling my cock'n'balls.

    They definately were red flag touches. The goddamn referee he had in the back seat kept on raising up this red flag every time he touched my junk but did Tux care? NO WAY! He just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed. I pleaded with Tux but to no avail. I told him Linus would not approve of a penguin touching an underage kid like me (at the time I was 13) without at least compensating me for the trauma and the use of my body as his own personal plaything.

    This got to him, worrying about his image. He continued to fondle me, all the while ignoring the referee's red flags. Then he drove the Tuxmobile to my house and *ejected the seat I was in*! It was amazing. But surprisingly, after I woke up the next morning, my bank account had $150k in it! Can you believe it?
