The trailer seems to have a much more serious tone than the first two seasons. It started off as a Star Trek spoof, and now it's looking more and more like just Star Trek. Looks good though.

I got the feeling from the trailer that it was aimed at a younger audience, but I'll watch the first episode tonight and see what I think.

Watching anything on Crunchyroll or Funimation continues to be an excruciating experience. I realise that they want people to subscribe, but the adverts are genuinely awful. Any adverts for an anime tend to just be 20 seconds of people gasping or screaming, with no indication of what the show is about at all. Sometimes the volume level on certain ads will just double (looking at you Ni No Kuni - Cross Worlds), forcing you to turn the volume down, whereby your can't hear the show when it finally returns. Often, they'll just play the same advert multiple times (4 in a row is my current record). It's not going to make me want the product any more. The choice of advert is sometimes a bit suspect - adverts for all inclusive holidays in the Maldives. Is that your target audience Funimation? People who can't afford a £5 a month subscription to your cartoon steaming service? It really gives the apps/services an amateur feel.

What was Dr Strange trying to copy?

I think my joke may have gone over your head a little bit, but that's ok.

Zelda is now a Far Cry/Assassin's Creed game.

Is that the bit where you find out how the forest became blind? So sad. They should put warning labels on those things.

No wonder they asked him to step down.

I think the plural in this case would be 'houses plant'

Interesting. Shame it wasn't Resistance. That IP needs a new game. Resistance had such innovative and fun guns. I'd love to have another sequel.

Agreed. The laws have become so pernickety that they've gone far beyond what they were trying to prevent. The handball rule was to stop people picking up the ball, or controlling it with their arms. The offside rule was to prevent people hoofing up to their striker who was hanging around next to the goalie. Now they're having to view each incident down to the millisecond and millimeter, and it's just gotten stupid. I realise you have to have a line, but they need to slacken off a bit. If the player didn't control the ball with their arm. It's fine. Give them the benefit of the doubt. If the players aren't miles offside, let them have it. Oh, and Madrid have just scored.

Literally unplayable.

You could say it 'tranformed' into something more 'titanic'.

There aren't many nice looking consoles to be honest. Most of the early ones were pretty boxy and function over form. The NES is just a grey box. The Atari looks like a car dashboard from the 70s. The Mega Drive was just a black slab of plastic. I don't think they really gave a thought to what they looked like until recently.

Mate, get a duster round your house. It's not healthy to be living surrounded by so much dust.

I enjoyed Chip 'N' Dale as well. It wasn't as funny as I was expecting, but I did do a few laughs. The best bit was trying to spot all the Easter eggs in the background (and foreground).

Thank god! There just aren't enough Strand-type games these days. I need my fix.

Blind joke.

That's really cool! I remember his cool illustrations, and your can definitely see his style in that. How does it work, I wonder, when making a whole animated show. Assuming he doesn't do all of the animation, do they task the other animators to match his style?

Well it wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy, would it?

"Stop hitting yourself!"

Not to the same scale as the Hulk though, she just becomes a buff woman.

I wonder if they'll explain why Bruce Banner gets several times larger when he becomes the Hulk, whereas she only seems to change colour.
