I agree, like I said earlier, let them spend some time with their families!

This is actually helping me catch up on my Star Trek Voyager complete series I got...I forgot how much cheesy scifi action can make me happy.

Come on. Let's be reasonable, everyone. Mike and the gang don't OWE us anything. They're the ones doing us the favor by producing such great comedy for us to enjoy. We can wait a while longer for the next riff. In the meantime, catch up on some of the riffs that you may have missed in the past. There are some really great ones that I'm sure many have overlooked.

Wait a minute...  It sounds like you said they don't owe us anything!  Of course they do!!  They owe us....  Uhhhh....Mmmm.  Undying fielty!  Yeah.

While I don't think they "Owe" us anything, I wouldn't go this far. Rifftrax is a business and a service. I'm a diehard fan and I'll wait, keep checking, and count my blessings, but there are probably more casual users who will only check back so often. Non-die hards will lose patience and stop checking back. I'm not an economics expert by any means, but there is no way rifftrax makes profit on just the folks who utilize this board alone. It needs the general fans.

I'll keep waiting, but let's not just give Mike and the guys a pass.

I partly agree. I don't think they're doing me a favor by letting me and people like me pay their bills and support their lifestyles though. They're making a product I enjoy, true, but one can only assume they're making a profit off it. That's not a "favor."  If Mike were to come to my house and riff my dog just because I was a fan and asked him to, that'd be, well, weird but more like a favor.  My poor dog wouldn't think of it as such.

As the producers of a product, they have expectations and things that they do owe consumers, like any product.  You are "owed" that if you purchase a coke 12 pack it will indeed contain 12 cans of coke and every can will be filled with so many ounces of a liquid that will indeed be coke.  The ingredients stated on the can will be as such, etc.

I don't think timeliness is one thing they "owe" us though.  If they had said, "We guarantee a new rifftrax every week." They would owe us that. I seem to recall an ad that said almost every week, but no promises.

Look on the bright side -- we're not on the Blizzard or Rareware forums. Our products arrive the same YEAR as they're promised.

It could be even worse than that and be a 3D Realms forum.

Give us Duke Nukem Forever, damnit!

Yeah, I know.  You were talking about the person yelling at us for actually wanting a new rifftrax.

I'm not yelling at you. I want a RiffTrax as much as you do. I'm just saying that Mike, Bill, and Kevin are people and they need their time just like we do.


...Well, Mike and Bill, anyways...

We're just kidding...  They can have their time with their families...  But they have to entertain us too!

I like the shorts and all but it's hard to have a Rifftrax evening with a 10-15 minute short.  By April first last year we had 9 full rifftrax, and the 10th announced.  This year we have 5 full rifftrax (1 they didn't write, and one that was a nearly finished script that they just reworked.)  And I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't catch up on riffs that I've missed.  I've already seen them all.
