Ben Affleck being the goddamn Batman, of course

Yeah, the romantic stuff was extremely cringeworthy.

Korra was originally intended to be only 7 episodes and nothing more than that, I believe. That's mainly why the character development was lacking and why it feels rushed at times. But that being said, while Korra has its flaws, I found it to be an acceptable sequel to TLA, and I'm interested to see how the characters develop now that it's confirmed they'll be having more seasons to work with. The advanced bending thing can be explained pretty easily. In the Promise and the Search (the two Avatar: TLA comics that explain what happened in between TLA and Korra), you see that characters like Toph starting up her metalbending school, which will most likely expand as time goes on and more and more Earthbenders are able to master metalbending. I'd imagine that the Fire Nation restricted the lightning technique to the masters in the royal family or military higher-ups (and with masters like Jeong-Jeong on the run, no one was able to teach the lightning art to anyone other than the royal family), but after Zuko takes over, that information is free and open for everyone to know. Zuko, Iroh, and Aang most likely teach and pass on the lightning and lightning redirect skills to other firebenders, and naturally, it becomes commonplace. I'd equate it with the rapid advancement of technology, in a way.

Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro for the PS1 were great games, IMO.

Still on my Metal Gear Solid music kick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEOWSYaZB64 Think I wanna hang out with Kojima and get a list of all the music this guy likes, but his taste in music is way better than mine normally is

Well, it's official. Sony got away with murder tonight. Kingdom Hearts 3 is legit <3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU_cQaKxomI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmPbt7Hx_cg MGS5 looks great, and Killer Instinct is apparently not developed by Rare; it's developed by Double Helix Games, who made that crappy Green Lantern movie tie-in game.

I'm so angry that the new Killer Instinct game is on the Xbox One :( That being said, the only other things I've liked so far are that Roman legion game and the MGS5 trailer. I'm also somewhat shocked that Insomniac Games is making a game for Microsoft too, as I expected them to be Sony 4 lyfe no matter what.

Here are the times for the press conferences today and tomorrow: Also, there will be a presentation tomorrow at 9 pm EST for Pokemon X/Y.

E3's next week of course, but I figure this thread would be a good place to discuss any pre-E3 trailers, speculation, expectations, and overall thoughts on what to expect from this year's E3 until it officially starts. With Nintendo opting not to have a stage presentation this year, a lot of the hype is going towards the showings of the PS4 and Xbox One. The first pre-E3 trailer released so far is for Murdered: Soul Suspect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7DoD51m3wE There are also rumors of Killer Instinct and a possible sequel to Marvel vs Capcom 3 being announced at E3, among other things. Should be an interesting event this year compared to last year's, IMO (even with Microsoft's horrendous Xbox One reveal so far).

Surprisingly good meditation music, yo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHPmoKkMDjI
