=========================
RULES OF THE ROADâ
CANâT WIN IF YOU DONâT PLAY â You must have a subscription to DC Universe to access DOOM PATROL.
DUAL-WIELDING â Watch-Alongs are best experienced on two devices; Your phone for comments, and your big screen for viewing.
2, 1 LETâS JAM â Have your clicking finger on the âplayâ button and ready for action- weâll be starting at the strike of the hour.
A WRINKLE IN TIME â If you get lost in the time, you can calculate where the audience is by checking the minute- For example, itâs itâs 6:15pm PST, then we are 15 minutes into the episode.
CRISP, REFRESHING CHROME EXTENSIONS â If youâre having trouble keeping up with the comments (understandably), there are Chrome extensions out there that automatically refresh the page as often as you program it to. Worth a shot!
Letâs all gather 'round the VCR, pop in a dusty VHS, and get ready to see what happens on the next episode ofâŠDOOM PATROL!
I just read a very spoilerific article in which Diane Guerrero talked about this episode, what itâs like playing all of Janeâs different personalities, and mental health issues. I wonât link it here, but if I remember Iâll throw it into the spoiler thread tomorrow. It just really pumped me up for this episode. I canât wait to see all of this at play.
@GodOfMugs, that sucks I can sympathize. Iâve had some real cruddy schedules over the years. I used to work Wednesdays-Saturdays which basically obliterated any plans to do fun stuff. I did the night shift last year. I missed a lot of stuff just because things arenât normally designed to support people who sleep during the day. I know how that goes.
@GodOfMugs How about joining in on a SMC? Could that time/day work?
I am hoping to make it to the DP WAL tonight. Although, working extended hours this week myself⊠So, it might not get to happen tonight.
I hope there is a SMC WAL tomorrow morningish⊠[Dashes off to look for it] That would be a well deserved work break for me. Have a Super Day Super Fans!
@toonatonian, unfortunately with the big changes happening in comics this month, weâre all taking some time from the normally scheduled activities to focus on making sure weâre helping the teams organize the issues being released. But they will return soon!
