I killed a mosquito in my bathroom, which was delightfully cathartic because I'm pretty sure that was the bastard that bit my foot this weekend. The downside is that now I have to clean what is presumably my own secondhand blood off the wall.

…Okay then.

Ah, so this is the game whose untranslated trailer during last year's Nintendo E3 show caused our livechat to devolve into a lot of "Buh? Huh. Zuh?" Glad to see it's out to baffle anew.

It's more of an earth certificate.

Could be, but then it's just very clumsy phrasing as a response to the previous question. I'd want to query editorial at the very least.

"Who's Lord?" Whose. Whose. I mean, you could make an argument that he's actually asking who that is, but the phrasing… sometimes I hate being a proofreader.

Some intern at one of our nation's most venerable suppliers of inane bullshit attempted to engage with its audience via a question about several other prominent examples of inane bullshit. However, he or she failed to recognize a popular fictional character who appears in an image that has been widely appropriated for…

To be fair, it's not like "we need to accomplish arbitrary tasks in a series of disparate locations in order to save the world and justify the inclusion of the entire cast" isn't a time-honored Justice League storytelling tradition. Gardner Fox practically trademarked it.

And the entirety of the theme song.

It can be two things!

Miles O'Brien!

What about directors who have met in AA?

Excellent, I was just saying we need some way to keep track of all this doom around here.

It's a film-editing reference!

If nothing else, Horizon Zero Dawn makes great strides in the "let's just put a bunch of cool-sounding words in a hat and pick three" school of naming things, which had largely fallen out of favor since its heyday in '90s comic books.

FUCK YEAH THE MAKO!

Good news, then! In the upcoming game he's going to murder the Norse gods instead!

I'll vote for the new Spider-Man game. All they showed was a teaser, but I love me some Spider-Man, and Insomniac seems like the right choice to capture Spidey's sense of fun. Not a big fan of the goofy costume redesign, though.

Oh thank God, for a second there I didn't recognize the quote and thought some new horrible tragedy had happened.
