Tidbits
Fury Road stunt doubles got married? That's kinda cool.
E3 gears up. Ooo. Ahh.
A remake of Final Fantasy VII? Fans have wanted that for well over a decade. I find myself less than enthusiastic that the time has actually come.
Actually, the most interesting thing I've seen so far is the Mass Effect: Andromeda announcement. Mostly, I find it fascinating because it raises all sorts of questions about what happened after the original trilogy. Though the cynical part of me says it'll be glossed over or blurred rather than Bioware defining a canon ending and really exploring the repercussions.
Clearly humanity has rediscovered viable FTL travel after the destruction of the mass relays, and even some way to travel to another galaxy. But there are some incredible narrative opportunities to exploring how society developed in the Milky Way after 1) life became techno-organic, 2) a benevolent-dictator Shepard-Reaper armada took over, or 3) all mechanical life (Reapers included) bit it. Actually, the "destroy" option is probably the least radical and the easiest for them to work with, even if it means EDI and the Geth (at the least) were wiped out. The other two would be harder, but as much as I found them dissatisfying options, they have a lot of long-term story potential.
Buuut, I'm sure it's a fair ways off yet, so we'll see.
