The Drill Sergeant voice-over made me cringe... The two versions certainly are indicative of the culture they're selling to.

Let's hope not. I think it'd be a terrible practice, if they were offsetting color to account for how today's HD TVs reproduce colors. I'm not an expert on these things (don't even own a TV :) ), but I imagine the image quality over the coming years is going to get better and better (OLED), while the source picture…

Short of looking at he original animation cels and talking to the colorist, working on the project at the time, we can only guess as to the intended look. I'd be interested in their input as well.

If they had spent just a little bit of time getting rid of the yellowish tinge, they'd be pissing a lot less people off. Here's a quick run through Photoshop's levels (couldn't help myself). Bottom is the blu-ray version sans the yellow haze.

Wish I had the memory of seeing it for the first time...

I noticed it, but it didn't bother me as much. It's a well designed piece of technology, but I get what you're saying. I was more bothered by the Windows logo showing up. It's going to be there, forever. Windows. In a GITS series. Think about that.

This post is full of win. Love your description of how to play with Legos.

Cryptic as ever. Saw this earlier. A twist on the teaser.

He was. I wasn't aware of that until now (never played the game). He was also in Indigo Prophecy, QD's previous game.

A familiar face... from MegaRace. Christian Erickson.

Might as well put all in one place.

Hahaha.

He does get a mechanical eye in the first game, which comes with a zoom lens, so a compound bow isn't too far fetched. But it is far more advanced than any bow in previous games. As for the setting, guess you could call it medieval steampunk.

Blech... Did you miss me? What is this, MC Vagina?

This was expected after they got rid of the black Premiums. The last thing Nintendo needs right now is a continuation of product confusion. Next up, price drop. Hopefully this won't be too little too late.

Are YOU ready for The Fall? Are WE ready to begin? All tough questions...

I don't watch the show, never read the books, but I'm watching this episode just to see this moment. I've never actually done this with a show so many seasons in. You know, watch a random episode of something I know absolutely nothing about. Should be interesting. Who knows, it might hook me in.

Drop the X. Simply BOX1.

This image made laugh so hard. Holy shit, look at that thing in the middle.

Welcome to Azerbaijan.
