Some thoughts on the new Prince of Persia E3 trailer:

...Am I the only one who thinks it kinda looks like Ico as developed by Square-Enix? Seriously, look at it. Nimble hero with flappy tunic and ethereal lady side-kick dressed in white with added unnecessary costume bits.

Which is not to say I don't like it. No indeed. I sort of want to lick it a little bit, actually. Ladies and gentlemen, we appear to have achieved genuinely beautiful cel-shading!

Fawning out of the way, Ubisoft, you guys had better really sell the relationship between the Prince and Elika. I fucking mean this, Partner AI has apparently become the hip new thing and not a whole lot of games have gotten it right due to the fact that they don't make the Partner someone you want to be partnered with. Farah was awesome - for the first game, at least - and I expect you to live up to the example set by a game that was released five goddamn years ago.

No, I haven't gotten over Assassin's Creed yet. Thank you for asking.

Sigur Ros, huh? Neat! Now can somebody please tell me which song it is? ...Yes, I admit to being a sucker for ludicrously graceful violence set to pretty music. Don't judge me.

Re: The Dark Knight.

Holy fucking shit.

I - can't even - !

(Okay, look: don't go to see this movie drunk or in anyway less than your mental best, or you will get lost, and while there is a lot of shiny it will not sustain you through the running time. The film deserves better than that.

Also, um? Best entrance for a character since Jack fucking Sparrow, it turns out. Ledger couldn't have had a better last role if he'd consciously chosen it, and he knocked it into the stratosphere. Wherever you are, man, I offer my congratulations.)

EDIT: And once you come home all depressed from watching it, I recommend you see Dr. Horrible at his Sing Along Blog. Even if he isn't actually a physician, except in the general societal sense kinda.

HECK WITH THAT, JUST GO WATCH THE AVATAR FINALE INSTEAD. I THINK MY HEART MAY EXPLODE WITH JOY
