@ Hg Dragon	:	(01 March 2021 - 08:49 PM) I'm upset I can't "Like" a shout...
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(28 February 2021 - 09:39 AM) The US election? rimshot
@ Paladin	:	(28 February 2021 - 09:19 AM) WHICH 2016 clown panic?
@ NotVeryKnightly	:	(28 February 2021 - 07:22 AM) Didn't that come right after the 2016 clown panic? No way to make clowns not disturbing at the time, surely.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:26 AM) The clown guise is supposed to lure kids in, it's no good if it looks sus in one glance.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:15 AM) The new one tries too hard to be unsettling from the start. Curry's look is just a plain old clown, until he very much is not.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:14 AM) And Curry has a far more disturbing look at times than the newbie.
@ Sabrblade	:	(28 February 2021 - 02:22 AM) And the original was a showcase of Tim Curry's delightfulness as an actor. 'Nuff said.
@ unluckiness	:	(27 February 2021 - 10:19 PM) first one was a decent horror flick but the second was a mess plotwise and even the scares were worse
@ tigerhawk	:	(27 February 2021 - 04:57 PM) Never understood the hype for the IT movies, too many floppy zombie chases, They're not in the least unsettling.
@ Maruten	:	(25 February 2021 - 06:00 PM) It's better than the last one!
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(25 February 2021 - 11:30 AM) The new Wizards of the Coast logo looks stupid
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(25 February 2021 - 11:29 AM) It's really rather shocking watching the Investor Day presentation and seeing how much Hasbro actually owns now.
@ -LittleAutob...	:	(25 February 2021 - 10:26 AM) If everyone had COMMON SENSE, then things would maybe go a little better-
@ repowers	:	(24 February 2021 - 05:33 PM) If everyone would just have the exact same opinions as me then we wouldn't have this problem
@ Kalidor	:	(24 February 2021 - 01:49 PM) It just depends on what it is. It is preferable to take it to P&R though. But sometimes current news as it's happening is less restrictive.
@ fourteenwings	:	(24 February 2021 - 12:18 AM) Huh, good point (x3)
@ ▲ndrusi	:	(23 February 2021 - 11:46 AM) Yeah. 1. People treat it like Twitter. 2. There's no "take it to P&R" since there's no P&R for the Shoutbox. 3. There's similarly no way to avoid either subjects or people in the Shoutbox since there's no division and it doesn't respect the ignore function, so people end up engaging when they normally wouldn't.
@ fourteenwings	:	(23 February 2021 - 10:56 AM) Is there something about the Shoutbox that just means we get politics taking over the thing at least once a week?
@ wonko the sane?	:	(23 February 2021 - 08:26 AM) At least your government is willing to talk about the collapsing medicare system. In quebec, their ignoring it in favour of talking about language again! Oh, and unconstitutionally denying access to eduction.
@ Shockwave 75	:	(23 February 2021 - 07:52 AM) At least here in my home province of Ontario we have a conservative gov't who doesn't want to cuz $$$$, but the argument is that they'll end up paying in medical care anyways for those sick people so why not?
@ Shockwave 75	:	(23 February 2021 - 07:51 AM) We have paid sick leave here in Canada too, but it's not very much and not everyone has it. So we're trying to get the gov't to extend it, and give it to everyone.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:23 AM) The only reason people still go to work despite being sick is because they feel emotionally obliged to serve their employer.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM) Some people abuse the system by somehow getting sick with a different plague every five weeks.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM) Those six weeks are out of the employer's pocket by legal mandate. If you're still sick after those six weeks, the health insurance company takes over the payment.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:19 AM) That's the good thing in Germany - we have legally mandated paid sick days. Six weeks (!) for a single cause (consecutive or recurring, as long as it's the same cause; reinfections long after the fact don't count), Everytime the employee gets sick with a new cause, another six weeks start.
@ tigerhawk	:	(22 February 2021 - 04:48 PM) That's how my family got sick, my brothers a teacher, he has a class for expelled students, they gave full attendance these past few lockdowns out of sheer boredom, they can turn in sick and break isolation and he nor the other staff, who also got sick, couldn't do anything about it.
@ TM2-Megatron	:	(22 February 2021 - 03:03 PM) Yeah, pretty sure the only reason people don't stay home when they're sick is that the vast majority of society lives paycheque to paycheque, and they can't afford even one missed day of work.
@ -LittleAutob...	:	(22 February 2021 - 11:27 AM) That's unfortunate... I know masks can be annoying, but I think not being able to breath comfortably for a while is better than actually having the virus and not being able to breath at all. bUt Oh, pEoPLe dOn'T bELiVe ThE dAmN vIrUs Is rEaL
@ wonko the sane?	:	(22 February 2021 - 08:28 AM) Hahahaha! Oh, you're serious. Yeah, no one is going to do that. Far too many are in positions where they simply cannot afford the time off, and most of the rest are the kind who won't wear the mask in a global pandemic, never mind when they alone have the sniffles.
@ Shockwave 75	:	(22 February 2021 - 08:20 AM) I just hope a take-away from this will be for people to stay home when they're sick, and if they have to go out, wear a mask so as not to spread their illness.
@ TM2-Megatron	:	(21 February 2021 - 08:25 PM) I think it's mostly the masking that's kept the flu season down so much, and that's unlikely to be kept up for that long. I'm sure there'll be some people who keep wearing masks for years after this, but I suspect a larger number are anticipating people able to toss them once vaccinations are complete.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(21 February 2021 - 05:27 PM) Same in canada. Doctors report it to be basically non-existant. I kinda hope they keep some stuff up after everyone is vaccinated. Like hand sanitizer at store entrances, and actually cleaning the shopping carts.
@ tigerhawk	:	(21 February 2021 - 05:17 PM) On the plus side cold and flu cases are down 80% this winter thanks to lockdowns, or at least that's the case in the UK.
@ Hg Dragon	:	(21 February 2021 - 04:37 PM) This is quite possibly the most miserable i have ever felt.
@ Hg Dragon	:	(21 February 2021 - 04:37 PM) i'll be nice and not bypass the cupcake monkey, but COVID can bleep itself in the bleeping bleeper with a bleeping cactus.
@ tigerhawk	:	(21 February 2021 - 02:39 AM) He only appeared the once in the US comics and got one follow up in the UK comic. He never suffered badass decay like Omega Supreme and the combiners.
@ Rycochet	:	(19 February 2021 - 05:15 PM) Trypticon's debut issues in the marvel comic were the absolute best 'To sell a toy' comics of the book.
@ tigerhawk	:	(19 February 2021 - 03:04 AM) Then the audience goes "This was a stealth Transformers film wannit!"
@ tigerhawk	:	(19 February 2021 - 03:03 AM) Godzilla vs Trypticon, co written by Christina Hobson and Max Borenstein.
@ Bass X0	:	(19 February 2021 - 01:36 AM) I now want G1 Grimlock to transform into Mecha Godzilla.
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(17 February 2021 - 04:23 PM) I preferred Rush when Midway made it.
@ Bass X0	:	(17 February 2021 - 03:13 PM) The best Rush comes from Canada.
@ ▲ndrusi	:	(17 February 2021 - 02:54 PM) In other wonderful and fantastic news, guess whose Kingdom Cheetor and Paleotrex FINALLY arrived today?
@ Bass X0	:	(16 February 2021 - 03:07 PM) yeah, its a good show. watch as much as you can.
@ tigerhawk	:	(16 February 2021 - 04:58 AM) Goodnight Sweethearts turned out to be a gem, I only knew Nicholas Lyndhurst in Only Fools and Horses but never saw this show before.
@ Bass X0	:	(15 February 2021 - 04:07 PM) Then we got Ultra Magnus, Fortress Maximus, Dai Atlas, Megatron, Galvatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Banzai-Tron in Alternity...
@ Sabrblade	:	(15 February 2021 - 12:04 PM) Heh, that new Binaltech comic that Ichikawa wrote for one of the Japanese Generations books even had the other Dinobots make fun of Grimlock for his "Autobot Car" body.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(15 February 2021 - 12:03 PM) They got that rescue bot grimlock that turns into a motorcycle. That's... pretty neat...
@ Otaku	:	(15 February 2021 - 11:35 AM) Just to make Grimlock feel more "wrong", they even highlight how his character just seems ill-suited for a sports car alternate mode in his own backstory. Hindsight is 20/20, so I now wish they'd made a T-rex that transformed into a sportscar. Still probably would have been as much or more of a pain to transform, but at least it'd feel more like Grimlock.

Best. Trailer. Ever.

Quite possibly the best trailer ever to show absolutely NOTHING.

My coworker showed me this the other day. We were wondering how anyone thought this was even remotely worth putting out and how much money did they earn for making it?

I feel bad for the marketing department tasked with making that.

"We need an ad for our new video game."
"Great! Just give us some gameplay footage, and we'll--"
"There's no footage."
"Cutscenes? That usually looks better than the game anyway..."
"No video at all."
"Okay... well, it's not as impressive, but we could at least take some screenshots and play a little slideshow over music for a little while..."
"There aren't any screenshots."
"Uh... promotional art?"
"Yes, we have that! We'll be providing it to you."
"Whew! Great! Okay. So we show a sequence of promotional images, all fading into each other, over music..."
"Oh, there's only one piece of artwork."
"Only one?"
"Only one. But, I have good news!"
"I'm being Punk'd?"
"Nope! We have four logos you can also use. Plus, here's five bucks to get one piece of stock footage. We'd like it to be a big explosion of some kind."
"Oh... wow... okay. So we've got one piece of artwork, four logos, and an explosion. Well, I guess with music, we can find some way to pad that out to 15 seconds..."
"It needs to be three minutes and forty-five seconds long."

Its sad. Duke Nukem 3D was one of the first shooters before the genre of "Shooter" even existed outside of Doom and Wolfenstein.

It was the first and only shooter I ever truly liked and I even when back and played the dopey little side scrolling Duke Nukem 1 and 2 games.

To think this 'joke' that we'd be getting a new game after over a decade is just.. I dunno.

Nice to hear an update of the old theme though.

I knew what it was for, but halfway through, I figured it was just a joke and stopped watching.

Then I find out it's the actual trailer. These people are geniuses.
