Those Skyrim videos are awesome. I've only played for about a half-hour so far, because it's technically my wife's copy, but I'm already excited by the story and bemused by the physics in equal measure.
I was waiting to hear about the story, but the thing I'm most excited about is that (from what I can see), the game doesn't level-up with you like Oblivion did.
I'd much prefer a game have high-level areas that stay at a given difficulty than ones that alter themselves to match how threatening you are (like in Oblivion). It just seems more "real," and makes leveling up seem more worthwhile to me.
Has been for a while, yeah. I first noticed it when Dark Knight Strikes Back came out. And once you know, it's sort of hard not to see it in stuff like All-Star Batman and Robin, or even 300.
Miller has been off in dingbat land for a long time. The roots of it were there from the beginning - it just took time to really develop into a full-scale case of Ditko-itis.
Unfortunately quite a few of the celebrity comics creators from the late 70s-early 90s periods seem to have gone off into their own strange worlds in one way or another. Alan Moore is another prime example.
On a more positive note, I like the look of the Green Lantern series. I'll have to keep an eye open for it here in Australia. Knowing my luck, they'll put it on on Saturday mornings while I'm at work. (It's vaguely embarrassing when customers catch you watching Batman: The Brave and The Bold. Worse, they insist on being served during all the good bits...)
I've always admired the sheer magnitude of weird bolstering Neal Adams' "plate tectonics is a lie, the Earth is expanding" stuff. I figured he sort of took the idea that if Bruce Banner can pull a bunch of mass out of nowhere, why not the planet?
GL does look pretty decent. The models have a bit of marionette to them, but maybe as they do more shows, they'll make them more flexible and fluid.

But yeah, one's volume does make a difference, like when choosing to pay for a big print run or go with print-on-demand.

I love PS238 to bits.
