Why? Would people not really understand that the statement "this is the first game" only refers to the set of games that was out at the time? OOT used to be first, now it's not. The world did not end. Gamers did not riot. "Addition" does not mean "rearrangement".

Upon looking at the interview, Nintendo's probably just afraid of people quibbling over continuity errors. It's probably also assumed that people who care about the order in which the games occur will be able to piece it together well enough for their own satisfaction.

I just hate fence-sitting. If they want to claim absolutely no interconnectivity between games, that's their prerogative. But I want them to stop teasing us with bits and pieces of continuity. Either the games are part of the same universe and history, or they're not. If they are, give us a timeline and add a note saying that it'll be modified as new games come along. If not, stop giving out clues and acting like they share a universe!

PNQ: In your iTunes, Windows Media Player, or whatever, what songs do you have multiple copies of?
I just noticed that I have three identical copies of "Come On, Come On" by Smash Mouth in my library. One from the studio album Astro Lounge, one from the Kim Possible soundtrack, and one from a Radio Disney compilation. P.S. It also seems I have four copies of the Christina Aguilera song "Reflection" (and the original Lea Salonga version, and three covers, and a remix).

The tracks from Descent and Descent II. MIDI sounds different from OGG, and someone did some really nice "tribute" versions a few years back.
(Well, you asked . . .)

It just seems weird to have nine copies of the same song (when covers and such are added).

In watching the SFDebris review of "The Measure of a Man" the following occurs to me:
PNQ: Is Geordi's VISOR really superior to human eyes? After all, the VISOR can see a lot of things we can't, but this is balanced by its inability to properly process visible light. Geordi can only see blotches of color, like a really low resolution camera. He manages to function, but I'd hardly call it "superior." Furthermore, on the occasions his eyes are healed and he sees stuff like Tasha or a sunset, he never fails to remark that he's getting something new from the experience. Something intangible that cannot be replicated by technology. So why does Data remark that everyone should be fitted with VISORs?
