Ah, I see. Yes, we'll have a "coming soon" product page up once we get the banner and thumbnail made.

Do you guys still use those beeps for syncing?  I really like the effect when I manage to get the timing just perfect; the movie beeps in perfect sync with a scene change, like a slide projector showing an education short.  Yet, it's hard to get that sync right.  I ended up timing it by using context; I'd listen to a movie line and see if the riff that came after it made sense.

We do still use Beeper. We feel it's less intrusive and easier to tell how far apart the tracks are. Are you saying it's better or worse than the traditional methods? I can't quite tell your opinion from what you said. I do know that it's almost useless to those trying to reauthor, but....

I think Beeper is novel, but not as good as the traditional methods.  But don't let my opinion sway you; I don't buy that many of your products.  I only buy Iriffs when they are a duplicate of a Rifftrax or Rifftrax Presents title.  I guess what I'm saying is that neither way will get me to bend the rule and buy any more or fewer Quiptracks.

You're right though; it is less intrusive.

Yes, the QuipTrack is coming out Saturday since we don't have the connections that Rifftrax apparently has.

I'll be waiting to buy! Was really disappointed with the guys' riff.

I was SO embarrassed to be seen in a store buying The Last Airbender on DVD! I was hoping "Just Buy it, and Get out" but the store had it in a security  box! Boy was I  emarassed! ButIstill wantthe rifftrax!

They actually bothered to put a security box on this movie? I'm just trying to figure out who would so desperately want this movie they wanted to steal it because they didn't have the money for it upon DVD/Blu Ray release.

Is it weird to hear the Safety Dance in my head watching Game of Thrones?

I made better use of the beeper times supplied in the Quiptracks readme and it seems to be spot on.  Now that I have a better idea how to use them I might redue some other of your riffs that were always slightly off enough to bug me.
And I'm worse than Hitler.

Redbox, my friend.  Modern day miracle.  It's all between you and the machine.
