Master of Orion III was effectively unplayable for weeks when it dropped, and it didn't even have the server excuses. SimCity is, hopefully, the nadir of a franchise let to slip since Sc2000, and is up there.

Thanks to the wonders of the meta-cognitive bias, my estimation for a visual would be more a curved square root sign than a flipped bell curve. The people who are most dangerous with making shit up when they don't know are those who understand things just enough to sound vaguely reasonable when they go off their…

You'd only need the old guard for cameos, though. Much better to retool the story with a new cast than make it a pure continuation. I've thought it might be interesting to have Michael end up as either Doc Brown or Marty's dad for a remake.

This is correct. The OP's prediction wasn't for a trailer, but for the movie drop. It's entirely possible they have gotten some pre-production under way if they really wanted a Blue Harvest type of deal. Plus, how many people are actively expecting something like this to hunt for it yet?

Wrong. There is only one correct time to release the film for full effect:

401K? Not when my steak was 140F!

Shit, they're used to you subsidizing their business model through tips so far. Why not just put the burden directly on the consumer? Hell, want to make a real political statement? Let the consumer decide what privileges they wish to fund for the worker! Freedom! USA USA!

"I'm Canadian, so it is particularly confusing/bemusing to watch American businesses throw a public hissy pout over employee health benefits, which will benefit the businesses in the end both because of lower turnover and public preference."

"It won't happen until the mobile makers figure out a way to resolve the interface issue."

Stuff like this is usually ripe enough that they can both take a swing at the comedy piñata.

It's madness. About 2.1 times per...

The creature absorbs some of the genetic material of another member of its series through a forced race where only one carrier cell can survive among millions. The partial clone is then attached via a biological filtration tubing system to the gut. After nearly a year of rapid growth and development of its faculties,…

"Also am I the only one that doubts that you can lower your IQ with hypnotherapy?"

It is, but Southern Treason is folksy and charming, so we give it a pass.

"Create a demand in women for video games."

SIGNALWAVE SUPERIOR!

Yeah, really. If everyone bailed on the banker's first / only above the average offer (usually among the first two if a few big suitcases are still in play), the games would be shorter and much more expensive.

He's saying it's always never not hilarious.

Three of the ones I really like that haven't been mentioned so far:

The Third Reich was built on the back of the Weimar, and was pretty quickly converted into the East and West Germanies. The "Empire" was just a new set of leaders atop the same old Republic structure that had been there for centuries. Once Palpatine's influence was shaken, it would be reasonable to expect the…
