Greetings, Users. Our system may be experiencing some residual glitches from a recent network malfunction. Our technical team is working on getting these issues under control. Please direct any concerns in the meantime to the HR department at humanresources@retrospec.com. Our staff has furthermore noticed a significant increase in tags and trends for #aprilfools and #pranks. Keep on your toes and be certain to tag your best tricks for Retrospec™! Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Any emails sent to the HR department will be returned with a failure to send notification, and will furthermore automatically be posted to the Retrospec network. Oops? Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures. Glitches will be in effect until the 15th and may include: -Usernames changing to a cat, dog, or bird pun. -The Retrospec application being changed into a neon color + animal theme of some variety. -Notifications going off at random and being unable to be turned off. -Various "special effects" crossing the screens when people comment. -Users having to beat a level of pac-man to access the application, and then being made to beat a new level every hour to keep using the application. -Thomas the Tank Engine memes being sent to users every hour for some reason. -Profile pictures being replaced by pictures of rabbits and easter eggs. -New creepy pasta stories appearing upon log-in, to be forwarded to someone before the app can continue to be used -Parental lock and auto-correct on cursing (i.e. fuck -> duck) -A parade of pixel Chocobos or dancing fruit scrolling across the screen after each comment posted

Elliecat They don't, probably.
Elliecat I just know more about them then video editing.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Yeah, right. You seriously think you can build a Thomas the Tank Robot faster than you can make a video of it?

[notyourutopian]

I don't know. Maybe.
I'd have to learn video editing from scratch.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Right, and obviously you know all about building a giant robot already.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Giant robots? Not really.
Elliecat But little ones, sure.
Elliecat No one said it had to be to scale.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Yeah but what's the point in building a tiny one?

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat It's a lot easier to stage a fight with two little robots.
Elliecat Or a little robot and a guy in a costume.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Where's the fun in that?
Bluejaymes Barkes Giant robots are cool because they're giant.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Well if it's done correctly, no one can tell.
Elliecat The godzilla movies are just men in rubber suits.

[ooc: Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.]

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Yeah, and those were lame too.
Bluejaymes Barkes And everyone can tell it's just people stomping around on a tiny set.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Sure they can tell. But the movies are fun anyway.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes My dad tried showing me some of those old-school movies once.
Bluejaymes Barkes I fell asleep like 20 minutes in.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat That seems more like your problem than the movie's problem.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Not my fault movies back then were so boring.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Or they weren't and you just don't know how to appreciate them.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes I enjoy plenty of movies just fine! If they can't make theirs entertaining then that's on them.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Tens of millions of people love the old Godzilla movies though.
Elliecat So it's probably more your issue than the movie's issue.
Elliecat I mean, there's nothing wrong with not liking it but.
Elliecat Still.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Millions of people can be wrong too
Bluejaymes Barkes Just because a lot of people like it doesn't automatically make it good. That's like, kindergarten 101.
Bluejaymes Barkes "If everybody else jumped off this bridge, would you do it too?"

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat That's more about peer pressure than being wrong, though.
Elliecat If ten people think a movie is good, and you don't, neither side is wrong.
Elliecat But you might be missing something.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Sure sounds like you're trying to peer pressure me into liking old crappy movies.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat I am trying to peer pressure you into not saying movies you don't like are crappy.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Why? I'm just stating my opinion.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Because crappy or boring isn't really descriptive.
Elliecat What don't you like about them?

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes I didn't like that they were crappy and boring.
Bluejaymes Barkes It's not like I even remember them. Seriously, I fell asleep halfway through them because they were just that boring.

[notyourutopian]

Eleanor Lamb Alright, fine, whatever.
