Hey all,

I've seen a lot of comments about The Late Shift (<-- no typo this time ;o) popping up all over the place, and I just wanted to explain what was happening.

Bascially The Late Shift is showing up right now as the canned trivia game for when the location doesn't receive the files like it should. Before you used to see Buzztime Trivia, which is a pretty generic game, so it didn't seem too out of the ordinary. But now, if something happens and your Lunchtime Trivia game (for example) didn't get its content files, then you'll see The Late Shift, which totally seems out of place. So it seems more like a weird programming glitch.

We have a ticket in to fix this and change the canned trivia game to Countdown. I'm not sure when this patch will go out. But I wanted to explain it to you in the meantime to help with the confusion.

8-)

I just thought The Late Shift was working a double

I know I have been pretty irritating lately, but the Late Shit was pretty damn funny.

And it will probably become the nickname of the new game for years to come among the members of this forum... :lol:
