State of the Squadron 11 is here!

[Montoya]

Once this becomes more of a game, even in beta, can we expect more frequent SOTS videos? *Crosses fingers*

You can expect Betty to be a lot more active.

Montoya and Seung check the mail this week.

Sweet! I look forward to having our glorious leader speak my name on an update. I hope for something like "Thanks to Schmunkel for forcing us to initiate our Idris officer-only rental policy after he crashed one into a moon."

Also, I'm going to claim some completely unfounded credit here:

I highly recommend this state of the squadron :)

I miss the old cold opens.

This. TEST cold opens, best cold opens.

What the hell is a cold open?

 

[Huegpaynis]

A cold open is a bit of content, then the opening theme/sequence/title/whatever, then back to the story. They're often unrelated to the content in the bulk of the episode, but they can also be used to handle "last time on this stupid show" segments or small side-plot stuff. Shows like NCIS or CSI: Your Momma's house use them extensively to set up the show by detailing the crime that is going to be central to that episode.

As an example, my favorite is the one where it opens with you flapping some patches up and down over your shirt at the nipple line, she-toya says from offscreen that "that's stupid" and you reply with "It's not stupid, it's for easy access!" and then it cuts to the highlander theme music, opening cinematic and you come back on and deliver the SOTS proper.

 

[Huegpaynis]

I'm a big dummy who can't things.

 

[Montoya]

Ah, I see.

Yes, I can do those.

 

[Huegpaynis]

Hooray!

 

[Black Sunder]

Ah, I see.

Yes, I can do those.

Literally done them before and you didn't know what they were. Our leader ladies and gentlemen!

I told you we do not want any more pictures of you in a bikini!

 

[Montoya]

PS @SeungRyul should know that a post in the General chat forum can also be featured on the front page through magic that is only known to me.

I have no idea what the terminology is for all these stupid things that I apparently do!

Looks like you have some required reading to do: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage

 

[Huegpaynis]

Oh God, sunder.
You linked him to TV Tropes? Why would you do that? Are you a spy and saboteur? Because that's what a spy and saboteur would do.
