...Seriously? I mean, seriously? You missed the giant "Meet the Game Dogs" banner on the left that says "Starting this Thursday"?

Well, guess that explains that pretty thoroughly. Are you a fan, Herr Pitts?Russ Pitts said:The music in the trailer is a track by our long-time composer Ian Dorsch called "More Cowbell," which he wrote for me a few years ago after I specifically asked him for a track that "sounds just like 'Don't Fear the Reaper.'" We used it for this trailer because it happened to be the exact length we needed, and worked stylistically.Earthmonger said:Dunno if it's been asked yet, but, why does the theme music sound like it's totally ripped off from Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper"?
The actual theme music for the series is a different track, also composed by Ian Dorsch, which you'll hear on Thursday.
OK, I don't see the banner you're talking about.Abedeus said:Littlenorwegians said:BTW, when is the first episode of this coming out?

Oh hey, let's think about things we didn't have back then.John Funk said:Again, shows like Darkwing Duck, Samurai Pizza Cats, Animaniacs, etc. - where the hell is the plot relevance to them being ducks, or cats, or whatever the hell they are? There isn't any.Furburt said:Yes, but it never even references it except to say 'You dogs' instead of 'You guys'John Funk said:What, did you guys never watch TV in the 80s and 90s? That's like saying, "Gee, Darkwing Duck was great and all, but why did he have to be a DUCK? He'd have been much better as a crime-fighting human!"
At least that's what I can glean from the trailer and the bios.
It just seems unnecessarily distracting, if it's only going to be aesthetic.
But hey, I'm no pro at this stuff, but I know what I find funny, and this wasn't to me.
But other people seem to like it, so it doesn't bother me.
I just won't watch it.
Oh no, Baloo is a bear and he's piloting a plane!
I'm sorry, as someone who grew up on cartoons about animals acting like humans, this just seems like the silliest damn complaint I have ever, ever heard.
Am I a fan of what? This series? You know that I created it, wrote it and directed and produced it, right?Earthmonger said:Well, guess that explains that pretty thoroughly.

(Wow, that's a horrible title in combination with your name, but I'll leave it because I think it's funny.)
Back to the subject at hand; have you seen any of these full episodes? Is it genuinely a mediocre trailer?
Yeah, you know, in retrospect, that doesn't make much sense does it? Proof, I guess, that we weren't necessarily going for "butt sniff" type humor. The chance to use that one pun just totally slipped my mind.Garaw said:I'm sort of wondering why their personnel department is called 'Human Resources'.
Sorry you didn't like it. I actually talked to some of the people who were at the showing in Philadelphia and they had positive things to say, mainly about the individual characters, etc.chromewarriorXIII said:They showed a longer trailer of this at GameX and it wasn't all that great. Afterwards everyone just sorta stared and didn't know what to say. I know that I won't be watching it.
As someone whose birth year does not end in 9X or god forbid "ought X", I really hope this is not true of the site's demographics.thecaptainof said:Honestly, I don't think there's many people here old enough to remember much of the 90s, let alone the 80s. If they do, it'll be the end bit when this sort of thing wasn't fashionable so much
Llamas cost too much. Its a union thing.chessmasterhex said:I would have preferred "Game Llamas".
