As of late they've been chucking out development, in favor of making characters more "dramatic" at the cost of character screwing. TDAS really went overboard with that. At least TDPI they've sort of picked it up, and given some characters development. The originals really did that the best, with a good third of them getting development. With a lot of the recent character alteration, there's no progressive buildup. Just random out of the blue recharacterizations.

I loved Olaf, he was so fun to watch. And yes, he had such significance in the story, and the comic relief from him is almost innocent and realistic (he doesn't know snow melts in summer). Jar Jar was just put in a story that was too serious, and half of what he did had no relevance. Characters shouldn't be made solely to be a joke, and nothing more. Especially the case with Lightning. Still can't believe he gets worshipped for being stupid.

That's an interesting viewpoint. You're saying it's to do with problems in the workplace, and probably a lack of communication and organization (which would explain why there was no proofreading. Well at least TDPI hasn't repeated TDAS's mistake, with 6 writers this time.

Though I wonder how they can go about restoring her, unless they just ignore TDAS completely like they did with TDA. It's just sad seeing how far she's plummeted, and it's come to the point where people who are huge fans of her get ridiculed. I read somewhere that part of the decision was because Gwuncan was the top fanon ship at that stage, but now that it's canon people don't seem to want it anymore.

Yeah I do know. It's actually fun to talk about how nonsensical it is with others. Only explanation was he got brain damage at the end of ROTI. No character could possibly get that much stupider in that amount of time. Another one of the "clever ideas" that season gave without putting in any thought. I don't know how the idea of Scottney came about, I wouldnt have pictured them talking, let alone dating. Much like Gwen, he has no resemblance to his former self other than the farm boy thing. No actually, at least that was kept consistent, Gwen didn't even have her goth stereotype kept consistent.

To me Korra just felt like a sequel for the sake of a sequel, riding on the success of the name. I doubt it would be that popular if it was a completely separate series to Avatar. When my friend first told me about the series and there being a new Avatar, I was immediately like "so Aang's dead". There was also a skyscraper featured in the promotion which further lost my interest. I would be a lot easier on it if they at least kept the ancient feudal theme.

So MW abandoned the historical warfare, which was why it was so revolutionary? I know one of my friends hates the game, but I'll check it out and get my own opinion. Okay, okay, I promise I'll give COD 2 a go once I get the chance. :P

Mass Effect 3 won at least a few game of the year awards, definitely a game worth the while. These days, independent decision making is key in differentiating the brilliant games from the rest of the cohort.
