It's a bit confusing. Both DC and Marvel have a Captain Marvel.

Perhaps. But again, I don't think they were really interested (which is why they turned down making the second one in the first place).

Honestly, I don't think that's the reason. I'm pretty certain The Old Republic cost much more time, effort, and money to develop than a third Knights of the Old Republic would have. My guess is that BioWare simply wanted to take a crack at the online business.

I'm surprised how many people think this means we'll get another KotOR. I'm pretty sure The Old Republic (also by BioWare) pretty much closes the door on that, at least for the foreseeable future (and in any case, it'd have to be an entirely unrelated story given that TOR wraps up the storyline from KotOR and TSL).…

"Well, on the bright side Bioware can make another KOTOR now."

I got the impression they were going for The Prince of Egypt / The Road to El Dorado, not post-Shrek Dreamworks. Hence, why it's drawn.

From what I understand the Avengers rotate their membership pretty frequently, actually. Wolverine's been on the team and so has Spider-Man, but they're not regular members.

Like JC, I feel kind of both ways. I don't really want it to end, but I'm also aware that seven years is a pretty good run and it's best that it stops before it outstays its welcome. At the very least, we don't want it to end up like The Simpsons or Family Guy.

That's damn impressive.

Yeah, I was aware of the other reasons for Howard's and Norton's departures, hence the "among other reasons." Although, to be fair, Howard's pay was already that high in the first Iron Man (even if it was ridiculous) and Norton wanting a great deal of creative control of his character is not at all unusual and is…

Strictly speaking, most of the Marvel movies were sort of rushed through development as well. Tightening the budget was the main reason that Terrence Howard and Edward Norton were dropped (though there were other factors as well). Granted, The Avengers was pretty heavily financed and had two years of production.

Not all that surprising really. It's pretty clear Disney wants to transform Star Wars into the kind of media behemoth that Marvel has become in recent years. Marvel has released at least one movie per year since 2010; in fact, if you count all of the Marvel movies that have been released since 2008 (Iron Man, The…

Slightly off-topic, but I wanted to say that it's too bad Jack Wall didn't stick around for Mass Effect 3. That's not to say that ME3 didn't have some great music or that Clint Mansell isn't a great composer, but A) it doesn't seem Mansell really contributed all that much if you look at the credits for individual…

Actually, destroying the geth works better from what I understand, because it makes the balance of power between the geth and the quarians more equal.

I'll admit that I really missed the Mako in the later games. I mean, it's not a huge deal, but I do think, as you pointed out, that it made the universe seem so much bigger and expansive.

I don't remember if he was in the second book or not but yeah he was definitely in the third. And was kind of annoying there as well (though not nearly as much).

It's not that he isn't skilled - he clearly is. It's that he (and BioWare) are trying waaaay too hard to present him as a badass. He almost comes off as a Villain Sue, to be honest.

Nice way too blithely condemn an entire species to extinction for some of its members being prejudiced. Irony much?

I'm not EA's biggest fan by any means but it's still a shame that Riccitiello was fired. He was definitely the "right" kind of CEO, even if he didn't perhaps have the charm or vision of someone like Gabe Newell. I have no doubt that the person who replaces him will take fewer risks and kowtow more to the demands of…

A minor correction: Okami appears to be set in pre-feudal Japan, before the rise of the samurai. It definitely borrows a lot of iconography from popular ideas of the feudal era though.
