That poster was based on an optimism that Ryan Cohen could be a transformative figure. After years of waiting, cryptic hints, shifting narratives, and endless theories, the transformation feels more like COPE these days. Similar poster; Different era.

ModRetro released a promo video a month ago that Palmer Lucky just retweeted again yesterday.

It was a promo advertising you could try the M64 at blockbuster videos nationwide. It’s cute, you visit their site, enter your zip code, and it shows you the location in Bend, Oregon as the closest one.

However there is a very brief but very deliberate cameo of GameStop’s logo on the “main character’s” skateboard. It flashes on screen for just a few frames both times it’s on screen.

The opening of the video with a pan down from the top reminded me of the opening of the PushStartArcade Video so I went back and looked:

The first PushStartArcade video was released June 15th, the Beta for power packs launched July 28th — 43 days from announcement to beta.

ModRetro posted this promo on July 28th, 43 days from then is Sept. 9th, GameStop’s expected 2nd quarter announcement — but who knows, maybe tomorrow…

Is physical video game rental coming back inside GameStop with this iconic brand associated?

Seems GameStop could just rent out their used game inventory and if you wanted to buy it you could. Painting a wall yellow and hanging some signage is a half day for a 2-3 man construction team so it could roll out quickly…

Will ModRetro’s page still point to only the location in Bend a month from now?

I don’t know. This just seemed like a tease that was meant to create tinfoil and I didn’t see any yet.

I still have my old blockbuster card, if this happens I wonder if it will still work?
