Thanks! It's all very exciting, but I think the back half of this year is going to be really boring by comparison. I don't know if I'll necessarily mind, though.

I have a feeling they'd be less willing these days. They've just recently announced that they have plans to resurrect the Bear and Bird themselves, and while they don't technically have any competing hardware with the 3DS, they do offer remakes of the Banjo games on their own console, so the idea of letting Nintendo…

I feel your pain, friend. I was in sixth grade when Majora's Mask was first released; I'm moving into my first house next month, getting married in the summer, and celebrating my son's fifth birthday this weekend.

I agree, but I think comparing the two is a little pointless, as they're so different. The thing to note, however, is that polygon-based graphics have aged so badly because, twenty years later, we're essentially still making games the same way. While sprite-based graphics have gone by the wayside, save for novelty…

I think mainstream audiences recognize the necessity for the sequel to go darker than the first installment. We can look to countless second films (Empire Strikes Back being the obvious example) that differentiate themselves from their predecessors by going to a much darker and more intense place with their plot.

I'm really happy with this quote. That was essentially my fear when they announced this film, that it would closely follow the comic without accounting for how immensely different the film incarnations of these characters are. So it's refreshing to me to see them make this sort of statement.

That's the angle worth showing, as it's new. We know from the first film that they can do funny, that there's humor in the dynamics of the team. We also know that they know how to work together now. What this film brings, and what the trailer is showing, is that a ton of shit's going to go down in this film to…

No? It's definitely not Nebula. The person in that shot is neither a cyborg, nor blue, which are pretty much the two dead giveaways of Nebula's identity.

Not sure what sort of point you're trying to make here?

You haven't been watching Agents of SHIELD, have you?

To be fair, we don't definitely know that he's going to be made of Vibranium, but the facts as you've put them do seem to line up. It seems to me that Evan was talking about Ultron in general, rather than specifically in this film, when he referred to his Adamantium composition.

With the big beard? Andy Serkis, presumably as Ulysses Klaw.

I was actually thinking, from a really broad and general description, this sounds like the first Kung Fu Panda. Mentor trains underdog/slacker to take on a former mentee that has gone bad?

The problem is that the sprites in the original don't look that crisp in action. The limitations of old technology on old TVs made them look very fuzzy in practice. I'd love a "remake" that just sharpened up the sprites and polys. Having said that, what this guy is doing looks really nice too, but this is another…

Not only "best Mario game," it's my favorite game, period. That said, I don't know if I'd want to see a sequel. I feel like that game wrapped up pretty perfectly as it was, and any attempt to recapture that game's greatness would be very difficult without giving the feeling of simply aping the things that made it…

I guess it's a personal taste thing, but I've always really liked the slidey-clickey noise that Rubik's Cubes make. It's one of those really specific noises that you can't ever mistake for anything else once you've heard it.

Thatched-roof cottages, you say? I don't think this is a Pirates of the Caribbean movie at all. I think it's...

Newman would be the kind of guy to only play with special rules on. Invisible, light, quick Smash, anyone?

I'm imagining an episode where someone has a Smash tournament, and everyone's invited but George, because he notoriously abuses taunts.
