A fake medicine ad featuring a nature photo of a muddy river in a forest. COLON-izer, revoc-mublana If your gut is uncomfortable and weighing you down, don't let your waste get in your way. Evict that excrement and claim the life you deserve. Manifest your destiny. Ask your doctor if COLON-izer is right for you. For adults experiencing moderate to sever gastrointestinal shit blockage. Do not take COLON-izer if you have asthma, liver irritation, preferences for disco music, are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, planning to become a monk, good hygiene, bad hygiene, or a sense of self worth.

A print ad for the marketing campaign :P

Oddly, I've noticed that tends to be a semi-generational shift. 70s trailers usually kept things vague. 80s trailers often spelled out the whole movie. 90s went back to less spoilery leading up to "whatisthematrix.com"... marketing keeps flip-flopping, don't know what they're doing really.

Burgers too expensive? Maybe you should buy a cow!
Watch batteries too pricey? Check out these antique grandfather clocks!
Finger paintings out of your budget? Have you considered purchasing the Louvre?

Introduce yourself with 9 games!

This is TOUGH. I could probably do 9 per console I've owned & maybe each decade for PC games. This set covers several eras of my gaming history tho.

That list looks like the devs walked around a couple of cons with a mic and said "Hey, we're making a video game about cats. Would you let us record your best meow and put it in our game?"

They saw how big your brain is and couldn't handle it. You intimidated them into retirement.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

This is a code red.

Kat: Personal teleportation, extendable to others by contact
Can zip in when ready to fight, can nope out if stuff gets out of hand, and take the pals with.

Let the shenanigans commence

Ash: Conjure at will any item they are able to hold/carry
Aside from being casually handy for self and others, would also just make some weird shit for fun.

Mika: Shapeshift into any animal
Can turn into something smol & speedy when wanting to be unperceivable, or something big and tough to defend da friends.

I remember being fully enamored with WoW during vanilla, and I was praying for something like the housing feature. The game is so different now, I don't think I'll ever have incentive to return and experience it.

Plan those vocal warmups accordingly.
Scam! Scam! Scam! Hell yeah!

SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE MY FIRST EVER PRODUCT COLLAB - INTRODUCING BOOBERRY LEMONADE CHARGED REFRESHER BY MADRINAS!!!

This has been in the works for a while and we’ve been flavor testing - and I think we NAILED IT

The Kirby Air Riders announcement title for Marx, a pink ball wearing a jester hat, a bowtie, and shoes. A scribbled beard has been added to his face, and the text amended to read "Tom Marx is here!!"

@tomrmarks.bsky.social hoping I wasn't the only one who thought of this with the bowtie.
(I may be able to decently match a font, but I can't doodle a beard to save my life)

Hey, listen. As long as you don't have to swap between 3 pressure plates just to turn your shower on, this is a win!

After a thorough KAT scan, we detected something unexpeceted inside the cranium.

There was literally a movie warning us about this!

FROM NOW UNTIL FEBRUARY 13TH IGN CREATORS GUILD IS GOING TO... DO OUR JOB! OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, IGN MANAGEMENT HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH LAYING OFF OUR COWORKERS OVER AND OVER. MEANWHILE, MANY OF OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE LEFT THE COMPANY IN NO SMALL PART DUE TO BUYOUTS, OVERWORK, AND FEELING UNSUPPORTED, EACH TIME, THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO BACKFILL MANY ESSENTIAL ROLES, CLAIMING WE'RE ON A HIRING FREEZE, IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET, OR THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO LESS WORK THIS TIME. AS A RESULT, IGNCG MEMBERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TAKE ON MORE OF THEIR FORMER COLLEAGUES' WORKLOADS. MANY OF US NOW WORK LONGER HOURS THAN WE USED TO. A LOT OF US RARELY TAKE LUNCH BREAKS. SOME OF US DO NOT TAKE ADEQUATE TIME OFF DUE TO THERE BEING NO ONE TO PICK UP THE SLACK. OTHERS OF US ARE STUCK DOING WORK WE WERE NEVER HIRED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE. UP TO THIS POINT, WE'VE ALL ACCEPTED THIS AS NORMAL, BECAUSE WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT IGN AND THE WORK WE DO. BUT WITH SO MANY OF US STRUGGLING MORE AND MORE AS EACH NEW WAVE OF OUR COWORKERS ARE DEPRIVED OF A LIVELIHOOD, THIS CYCLE CAN'T CONTINUE. MANAGEMENT IS UNWILLING TO STOP IT, SO IT FALLS TO US. WITH THE LAYOFFS OF EIGHT OF OUR COWORKERS, IGNCG HAS NEGOTIATED A SIX-MONTH RECALL LIST. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT, FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, IF IGN WANTS TO FILL ANY OF THOSE ELIMINATED ROLES AGAIN, THEY MUST REHIRE OUR LAID-OFF COLLEAGUES. WE WANT THEM TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THEIR JOBS BACK IF THEY WANT THEM, AND IF NOT, WE WANT THOSE ROLES BACKFILLED TO EASE THE BURDEN ON THE REST OF US. SO STARTING TODAY, LENCE MEMBERS ARE COMMITTING TO DO OUR JOBS. NO MORE, NO LESS. WELL SHOW UP TO WORK ON TIME AND LEAVE ON TIME. WE'RE TAKING ALL OF OUR LUNCH TIME, EVERY DAY. IF WE WORK LATE, WE WILL FIRMLY ASK FOR OUR RIGHTFULLY EARNED COMP TIME. AND IF IGN WANTS OUR LAID-OFF COWORKERS' WORK TO GET DONE, THEY'LL HAVE TO REHIRE THEM TO DO IT INSTEAD OF FOISTING IT UPON US. HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT IGNCG IN ALL THIS? SHARE THIS POST, AND TELL IGN MANAGEMENT THAT Y…

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain.

Not this time. Not anymore.

There are two subsets: those who feel entitled to do what they want because they paid for a ticket, & irl trolls who gamify upsetting people at the theater "I don't actually want to see this movie. How many people can I piss off before I get caught, & then still talk them into giving me a refund?"

J K Simmons. You either get a pretty mild straight-man character, or he wants pictures of Spider-Man and he's inventing combustible lemons, and both are very enjoyable.
