So, some input:

• YES!
• I know MK vs. DC was mediocre, but Mortal Kombat 2011 was excellent, and I’m counting on NetherRealm Studios to do the same with this game, especially since this is a unique take on just the DC universe, so they can create a darker feel for it without having to figure out how to dance around a T rating.
• Wonder Woman is wearing pants!
• The only disappointing thing is that considering the title, I was hoping for it to be a Crime Syndicate game: Ultraman, Owlman, Power Ring, etc. Then again, they haven’t popped up in the New 52 yet, so they might not exist anymore.
• I also know it’s crazy early in development, but I do hope they flesh out the villains to be more than just Batman villains. I mean, Lex Luthor is there and I’ve got a good feeling Captain Cold will be there too, judging by the Flash screen. But I want to see some shit like Sabbac/Ibac, Black Adam, Vandal Savage, Grodd, etc. etc.

Afternoon Snack: From CNBC sports (and sometimes fast-food) reporter Darren Rovell, a big announcement via Twitter:

FIRST LOOK: Taco Bell launching Beefy Nacho Burrito on Wednesday: Nachos inside a burrito (99 cents)

This gratuitous one-upping of its own Doritos Locos Taco earns Taco Bell bragging rights for reaching the height of excess where tacos are concerned. But while the Beefy Nacho Burrito is still no match for Pizza Hut’s Crown Crust Carnival Pizza, at least it will be available stateside.

[uproxx]

I am way more excited about this than I should be, mainly because this is the closest I’m going to be able to get to the beefy crunch burrito for so cheap.

Jet: firebenders killed my parents
Zuko: firebenders exiled my mother
Hiroshi: firebenders killed my wife
Asami: firebenders killed my mom
Amon: firebenders killed my family
Mako/Bolin: firebenders killed our parents
Katara/Sokka: firebenders killed our mom
Aang: firebenders killed my entire race.

pfft this is (mostly) easy

Aang/Katara/Sokka/Jet: there was a war in which is was firebenders v. the world.

Zuko: well obv. there wouldn’t be any earth- water- or airbenders in the Fire Nation ruling caste.

Hiroshi/Asami/Amon/Mako/Bolin: firebenders are overwhelmingly presented as criminals in LoK, probably due to the fact that firebending can be done pretty much anywhere, at anytime (save of course during a solar eclipse) and that firebenders would’ve been really harshly discriminated against during the founding of Republic City, what with it being established and lived in by the children who lived through the end of the hundred-year war and people probably still being bitter about the Fire Nation colonies staying there and expanding (if The Promise is any indication).

So I love the fact that, as a Witch Doctor in Diablo III, by Level 11 I have the option of using blow darts, jars of spiders, and exploding toads as my primary weapons. I’m just not seeing the use of the exploding toads. The darts are a very essential ranged weapon for my fragile spellcaster, and the spiders can take some of the load off my zombie dogs in terms of making monsters not hit me… but the toads just… kind of stumble around and then blow up.

Don’t get me wrong, I saw “exploding toads” and the seven year old inside me went “OHHHH!”, but in practice they’re sort of lame.

Mako really is so much more interesting when he’s acting more like Bolin and less BROODY. They would be a fantastic comedy duo.

So, really, my only problem with this episode was: after knocking out Hiroshi and Amon’s second-in-command (for the second time in two episodes!), why didn’t they take them when they left, too? Korra had come to and could’ve at least dragged out Hiroshi to have him properly arrested, instead he’s left behind to continue working on the tanks. Along with Amon’s second-in-command. Just… kind of bothersome.

But otherwise?

OH SHIT DID YOU SEE LIN RETRACT HER FOOT ARMOR AND DO THE VIBRATIONAL SENSE JAZZ LIKE TOPH THAT WAS SO COOL!

THEN DID YOU SEE WHEN SHE WENT ALL WOLVERINE AND TOOK OUT THAT TANK ON HER OWN?

DUDE WASN’T IT SO COOL TO SEE TENZIN FINALLY AIRBEND FOR MORE THAN LIKE ONE FRAME?

AND HOLY SHIT ASAMI TAKING THE GLOVE AND ELECTROCUTING HER DAD (which was predictable but whatevs) AND THEN CURBSTOMPING AMON’S SECOND-IN-COMMAND?

AND THEN LIN WAS ALL LIKE “I’m gonna do this outside the law.” SO NOW SHE’S GONNA BE TOTALLY FUCKING DOING WHATEVER AND MAYBE SHE’LL PUNCH TARRLOK IN THE FACE.

And now that Mako, Bolin, and Asami are all living on Air Temple Island, they’ll get some wicked cool training so they can fight Equalists better!

I am so, so mad that there’s no new episode next week.

This album is schway as hell.
