I was indifferent to the first trailer. The one before Star Wars was hilarious and I wanted to see it based on that alone. Then the most recent trailer and TV commercials killed my interest again because it looked like just another talking animal CGI movie with the obligatory pop-style song for whatever crowd gives a…

Haha you beat me to it!

The last ten hours of Skyward Sword I just remember being painful. The final battle was pretty cool. Not worth the slog, and it paled in comparison to the final showdowns in Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, both of which were just amazing, but it's at least a good ending.

You didn't miss much with Skyward Sword. If they ever revamped it with traditional controls and gave it an HD makeover, I'd say at least give it a shot. According to currently unsubstantiated rumors, the new Zelda is an NX launch title. I'm really hoping that one's good. The worst sin Skyward Sword committed was that…

I can definitely respect your thoughts on Oracle of Ages and Spirit Tracks. Spirit Tracks had a little of everything I hate in a Zelda game, but I felt it was a little less bad than Triforce Heroes and Phantom Hourglass.

I thoroughly loved Zelda week. I looked forward to every single article about it! I also toyed with putting ALBW slightly higher, but my method was to write the explanations first for the top 5, then rank them and edit accordingly. After re-reading my explanations, I felt that the 4 games ahead of it were a little…

I’m playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD after work tonight. I haven’t played it since 2006, so ten years later I’m looking forward to revisiting it.

I hate to say it, but I'm ready for it to die at this point. The original case-of-the-week format worked well for the first few seasons. Once Shonda ditched that and decided to go the B613 route, it started going downhill. The first half of this season had a few standout episodes, but overall, I haven't actively…

Happy Birthday! I hit the big 3-0 in a few weeks, so I was right there as a 10-year-old kid when Pokemon hit the States. I was just saying to a buddy yesterday who's the same age as me that back in high school and college, I went through a regrettable period where I felt I was too old or too cool for Pokemon. I have…

I agree with your list for the most part (and also never watched Brave and the Bold). Conroy's voice is what I hear when I read the comics, and I think it's the truest to the spirit of the character. I'd personally rank Kilmer a little lower.

I'm almost done with Paper Jam. Putting it down for Fire Emblem for a while, but Mario & Luigi games are easy to jump back into after a break. One little note: the Toad missions have some decent variety, but they get old fast. I didn't dislike the game in general, even if it's a bit rote. I'd say the story is the…

I got my Street Fighter V in the mail yesterday from Amazon. As a Prime member, I got 20% off. Granted, Capcom gave me about 40% off the standard Street Fighter content amount, so I guess I only overpaid by about $8.

While I loved Weird Al as a kid, I just got to see him in concert last summer for the first time. As the review notes, if you've ever interacted with Al, even just as a fan, you know he is *nothing* like the persona he put on in the episode. He's very kind and very humble (and super funny).

Jay's storylines rarely get me laughing these days aside from the occasional one-liner, but pairing him with Cam led to some really funny results last night.

I recently replayed a bunch of the Metroid games. Metroid 1 feels less
polished than it did years ago, but still fun. Metroid 2 is alright, if
unimpressive. Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Metroid Zero Mission, and
Metroid Prime 3 hold up very well. Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime 2
hold up but came across as more…

I think that's a fair point. My wife and I watched the entire show from start to finish over the course of a month (we happened to start watching about a month before the final season aired, so we were caught up on the whole thing exactly one day before the finale aired). I didn't dislike Ann Perkins at first. I…

I completely agree with Rashida Jones' Ann Perkins from Parks and Recreation. I personally found it completely annoying whenever Leslie Knope would comment that Ann was beautiful or any other similar adjective. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that on its own, but it was completely repetitive. She was…

You're correct; I should have clarified that my reference to speaking in court meant advocating on behalf of clients, and indeed law students may do so under supervision in certain circumstances (my first trial was also before finishing law school). But the other point is, as you noted, Dean isn't any of those things.

I know the show isn't the slightest bit realistic, but in the real world, unauthorized practice of law (the formal term for impersonating a lawyer) is a pretty serious crime. Even if you passed the bar, if, due to subsequent misconduct, you are disbarred, you can't practice law. You are also expressly prohibited from…

That episode was amazing. Compared to episodes from earlier seasons, I'd say it was great. Compared to every single episode before it this season and about half to 3/4 of last season, this was flat-out amazing. So much heart, so many great jokes.
