Ah, ****. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that, Burn. I hope everything goes as well as it can.

Hey now, I can honestly take or leave that two minutes TBH. It's one of the least interesting parts of the film for me
Bumblebee is the only one of the live action films I'll rewatch for enjoyment, but it's for Charlie and Bee. A TF-meets-human story that actually has emotional beats and time to breathe? Yes please. It's kinda like Budiansky on a good day.

It was sad coming back to find, though not surprisingly, the vast majority of the community had moved on. Still it was nice seeing some old faces again and what with there being less competition for gaining experience, I've actually been leveling very fast. I'm currently having only Alacrity do missions so he can stop being the outlier of the team when it comes to XP, but once he's caught up everyone will be at least level 9.
Yeah likewise, I'm higher level now than I ever was the first time around. But I miss the forums and the community, even when they were a bunch of argumentative sods

I'm continually amazed that it's still ticking over, and that the current version looks like it's basically the 2007 code, unchanged.
