      Team... Autobots? I don't know enough about WoD.

      I'm not sure where my Elemental Changeling Robot-Ninja-Stripper would fit in, but she'd probably fit here, I guess.

      ... Tori, aka Killbot?

      (Note: On Haunted Memories, an Elemental Changeling Robot Ninja Stripper. Not kidding.)

      I can't help but cheer for this. I did have 'Ninja Stripper' as a custom PT on Reno at one point just because why the fuck not.

      Oh fucking well.

        The player left when they were pretty much given the cold shoulder by staff for not being Super Duper Always Friendly and instead being kind of creepy. I hated this attitude from staff because the number of times I had to ask them to stop being super creepy on channel you'd think that they'd tone it down or loosen up, but no, your attitude is only wrong when someone else does it. A universal truth.

          @Thenomain Ugh. Yeah, that... wasn't mine. Raven's page is probably still on Reno, I more or less made her as a gag and never got around to playing her, but she did have Ninja Stripper as her PT. I was never on HM, so I managed to avoid learning all the tales of WTF from there.

          Oh fucking well.

                  @Coin i wouldn't say it's completely entitlement; People have been trained to expect a trailer for a teaser, a pre-teaser, a trailer, and 6 different extended trailers.

                  Yeah those guys calling him an asshole and asking him when he's going to do it on a Gene Wilder memorial post, yeah, they are assholes. But it also falls a bit on the movie marketers too.

                  Them asking the director of the movie when they usually don't have a hand in trailers is just them being stupid.

                    Still entitlement. People have been told it's being worked on. They need to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up and be fucking patient.

                        Probably the same people who have sent the spouse/partner of actors death threats because they wanted said actor to be gay.

                        Since, y'know... being gay isn't a choice UNLESS it validates your shitty fanfic.

                              And then you have Indie Dev entitlement, proving that everyone on the internet is just crazy and sue happy, apparently.

                              Hey you! Over there! I'm sueing you! What's your name?

                                Even though Blizzard already shut them down once, just because Blizzard didn't announce Legacy servers at Blizzcon,we're going to put our Legacy servers we reverse engineered and don't actually own any of the content back up, because Blizzard doesn't actually follow it's own core values any more.

                                The level of entitlement and hate for Blizzard for NOT having Vanilla servers is amazing. How dare Blizzard? Even though they had already said there wouldn't be any news about Legacy servers at Blizzcon. How dare they not do what non-paying customers demand of them?!

                                  Pokemon Go. Users apparently can't hit stops while going more than 30mph now and people are going insane about it locally and saying it has 'ruined the game'. It's all I can do to keep my trap shut.

                                    An odd case of reverse PoGo is when people stare at players these days. "You are STILL playing that?"

                                    Yes, the game you played six weeks ago is still being played. Just because you stopped playing it doesn't mean it's no longer any good for anyone else.
