You nailed it.

when you realize that Ant-Man was actually not played by Ben Affleck but by Paul Rudd. I could have sworn.

I wasn't going to, but now that you've suggested it: *throws tomatoes*

You've got to admit, some of the spinnies are really creepy and disturbing when you think about it.

It took 15 years to get there but better late than never I guess!

That was a great era for LEGO online games, though I don't really remember the Spybots one too well.

I think you missed the point of the news, though.

Interesting how ice is being referred to as the "primordial element" or "White Element" and how it's considered the most pure and noble. That seems quite unlikely anything that has been done in G1. Intrigued to see where this will take us but it looks like Kopaka may have a bigger role this year.

I'm just realizing how antiquated that is in some respects - Word doesn't use that anymore - it's a file page. Open Notepad on Windows, and look in the upper right hand corner, next to the Edit menu. That's what I'm talking about. I suppose you mean the upper left corner? What I don't really understand is why you say it's not there on OS X. The thing is that on OS X, the menu bar is always at the very top of the screen and not inside the program window itself but there is still a menu called "File", to the left of one called "Edit", on most if not all programs I've encountered on OS X.

Hey, uh, just an FYI: This probably counts as discussing banned members, and you should not do that. Actually, Black Six is not discussing banned members but only the discussion of banned members. There is no rule stating that the discussion of banned members shall not be discussed.

It all makes sense suddenly.

I didn't post the topic myself, but since it's the talkback generated automatically for a news story that I posted on the front page, I guess it counts. Otherwise it's this one, closely followed by these five: 1 2 3 4 5

Yes, zero guns sounds good - I always feel sorry for the poor guys that I shoot down. No Man's Sky looks fairly interesting but I'm not really fond of its aesthetic somehow.

We're not hardcore gamers (especially me), but there's three games we're really looking forward to in 2016: First up is Manifold Garden. If you've already played Antichamber, then Manifold Garden may look familiar to you, though it seems to take the mind-breaking physics and optics even a step further. Of course, the fact that I have studied mathematics probably helps but I was already a huge fan of Antichamber (in fact, it's probably my favourite video game to date) and this one looks equally promising. It reminds me of Antichamber enough for its similarity to be a treat but it looks unique enough at the same time. Games like this are what transcend the medium of video games to a whole new category of art, achieving impressions and building immersive worlds that were never possible before. Just imagine how this is going to feel like with VR - probably dizzying, but in an awesome way. In conclusion, I can't wait to play this game and in case you haven't checked out Antichamber yet, I definitely urge you to do so. Next up is Mass Effect Andromeda, which is of course an entirely different genre but who says you can't like more than one thing? I played Mass Effect 1 and 2 in 2014 and Mass Effect 3 in 2015 and I loved the immersive world-building and deep mythology behind the worlds, the cultures and the species living in them. Of course, the shooting part was fun, too, but I wouldn't be nearly as or at all interested in Mass Effect if it didn't have all the story. Unlike some people, I'm also a great fan of Mass Effect 3 and its endings (in the Extended Cut DLC) - this said, I'm also a firm believer of the Indoctrination Theory, which probably helps a lot in appreciating the ending, or rather the three different possible endings (another of the things I love most about Mass Effect is how it gives you room for your own decisions and its fairly non-linear gameplay). Mass Effect Andromeda won't be a direct sequel to Mass Effect 3 and it won't star Commander Shepard as the protagonist, but it takes place in entirely the same universe so there's plenty to look forward to. Lastly, another game we're looking forward to is Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. We discovered the original Mirror's Edge in 2012 and I played it again last year. I'm a pretty great fan of the game's aesthetic (including the animated cut scenes, which didn't seem as popular and unfortunately won't be there in Catalyst) and music. Catalyst seems to improve on some of the key game mechanics and changes the aesthetic subtly enough to look distinct from the original game but still similar enough to make it clear they're related, which is a good thing in my eyes. Let's see if the game will know to deliver - maybe it will bring a more compelling story, too. So I think that covers it. What video games are you looking forward to in 2016?

2001 and 2002 probably.

I have like... half a collection. Does that count? Well, it's not a full one.

Probably an entire collection of BIONICLE Lamincards. I'm only aware of one other existing and we just sold it to Toa Lhikan Hordika.

Happy Naming Day everybody!

I think it's Toy Story 2.

I think Lewa and Uxar are my favourite bunch this year. Lewa is already my favourite Toa from what I've seen (I'm not sure why but his mask looks awesome and I even really like the silver on him) but with Uxar's big green wings he gets even better. Thanks for the review and I look forward to Lewa's!

Yes, the Furno art appeared briefly in the very first teaser for Hero Factory.
