Whatever gets Dan Panosian more exposure is fine by me. I think he's a great artist, but doesn't seem to get much attention from the mainstream comics press. I think he's mostly been doing French BDs lately.

Maybe some kind of complicated rights issue?

Danielle Melnick as a judge? Everyone drifting over to Chicago I can accept, but Melnick getting on the bench is in no way plausible.

I'm not quite sure they thought through their smear campaign here. "Don't vote for this guy, he's a fan of one of the most popular movie franchises of all time! What an asshole!"

You'd think people who read things out loud for a living would be better at, well, reading things out loud in order.

Oh man, Paul Robinette's in the (backdoor) pilot? Now I might have to give it a go. I've been lukewarm on all the Chicago stuff (Fire, PD, the band, the musical, the Cubs) but that's enough to make me give it a go (although this is complicated by all the Chicago shows being on different networks in the UK and imported…

No more, no less. It's a special number to them.

I'm still holding out hope that Kermit The Frog hosts Have I Got News For You at some point.

The reverse-vampires have much to answer for.

This was the last award though, right? So why was there still a Best Actress envelope hanging around for Beatty to be given in the first place?

For me the gold standard for DVD special features is BBC Worldwide's classic Doctor Who releases. Apart from a few exceptions at the start and near the end of the line, every story had an audio commentary, info text subtitle track, a retrospective documentary, a photo gallery and usually something else as well (from…

I think my favourite thing about Link's Awakening is that Wart (from Super Mario Bros 2) shows up in it, which is a nice little easter egg that actually makes sense, given both games are dreams.

If you liked FE 7 and have a 3DS, you should definitely give Awakening a go. Not necessarily instead of Echoes, but, well, it's out already and May's a long way away…

If you want to open a carded action figure without destroying the card back picture, just take a scalpel to the plastic bubble. As for not losing the accessory, you're on your own there.

I spent way too much time following web rings and rooting through the Yahoo site directory back in the day.

That ship sailed long ago. The President is a reality TV star.

And as the Famicom's controllers were wired in, they weren't technically "ports" either.

I just want to echo how awesome Freedom Force is. I adore that game. I'd go into why more but I think I need to go play it again right now instead.

I went to Nintendo' Switch Preview event this morning. Here are my impressions of the games they had on offer.

The price of ad time in SNL must be through the roof now. It's practically a direct line to the President of the US.
