    Ok, I'll be first. Where in the trailer does it hint that Marion was 16 when they had sex? Did I miss something here? All I saw was Lego Indiana Jones? #legoindianajones2

    @Stereoxous: It's part of the backstory to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    Indy was the pupil of Dr. Abner Ravenwood, and during his time with the Doctor he had a relationship with Marion - Indy being 27 and Marion being 16/17. During the scene in the nepalese bar in the movie - which is being shown here in both it's orignal and lego-ified form - Indy and Marion argue, and she says 'I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it!'

    So now you know! =D #legoindianajones2

    In the 20s/30s this really wouldn't have been all that weird.....I know numerous women my grandmother's age (which would be about the same age as Marion if she were real) who were married with multiple kids before the age of 18. Most women didn't go to college or even finish high school back then, so those who weren't married by their early to mid twenties were often considered to be into old maid territory. Having kids too far into your thirties was rare, and having kids in your forties like many women do today was near unheard of, so if folks wanted families they had to "settle down" much earlier than we do today.

    Heck the age of consent is still 16 in some states and in numerous countries around the world.

    That said, it would certainly be a bit creepy today....but historically it actually feels more accurate I think to have her be pretty young. #legoindianajones2

    @jcb231: Not creepy today, in the UK and most parts of Europe sixteen is the legal age of consent, (for all sexualities in the UK).

    Now, if it was someone much, much older then yeah - creepy. #legoindianajones2

    I don't get the fuss, 16 is perfectly legal here in Australia. It's the same in Canada, and actually a lower in most of Europe.

    So if I sleep with a 16 year old now does that mean it's ok so long as we hook up again ten years from now when she's legal and I'm too old to get a new 16 year old?

    Hey, at least Lucas didn't make her the age he really wanted to her to be:

    Lucas: I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.

    Kasdan: And he was forty-two.

    Lucas: He hasn't seen her in twelve years. Now she's twenty-two. It's a real strange relationship.

    Spielberg: She had better be older than twenty-two.

    Lucas: He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve. It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.

    Spielberg: And promiscuous. She came onto him.

    Lucas: Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he .

    #5 - The assortment of candy shows they offer a plethora of choices when it comes to benefits and employee perks. The iPhone demonstrates that they use the most up to date technology and are quite techno savvy. The austere set up tells me they wisely use their funds and aren't just out to flash and dazzle. Finally, the taped sign suggests a company that can adapt quickly and efficiently to a changing market, whatever the circumstances.

    Yes, I would gladly work for Frog Design (?). #jobfair

    I would definitely go work for Zynga. They are majestic bastards.
    They created one game, posted it on Facebook, and charged people for microtransactions in game.
    They then released that game six different times, under different names, with different skins, until one stuck.
    Then, by forcing people to use social interactions to advance in the game, they force-created a viral phenomenon.

    Bastards, but majestic in execution. #jobfair

    Who set up the MS stand?
    2 games that never got a sequel on PC, one game by a studio that MS shut down after the forced them to attempt a console RTS.
    Wooh for showing good job opportunities, let me guess FSX is on the end of the table as a nail in the coffin.

    btw what is the PLAY conference? seems fairly small scale.
    Like seems from the way the tables set out that our uni would host bigger events.

    As for who I'd work for, well not Lucasfilm directly but ILM could be a final destination in my current course.

    I'd work for Level-5, Double Fine or Capcom..

    role-playing, humour and fighting.. three elements i hold so dearly..

    Double Fine is because of psychonauts mostly.. Brütal Legend can't hold a candle to it, though i thoroughly enjoy it.

    I'd just be honoured to work on the team that did the milkman level, the napoleon rts-style level and the godzilla level where you destroy a city inhabited by talking fish, as a 100ft. tall monster

    It's in my PlaystationII top 3 with God of War and Shadow of the Colossus, great game

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: It's such a shame the Jedi became a bit underpowered in BFII.

    I remember quaking in my shoes defending one of the bridge choke points on the Bespin Platforms, fending off Imperial troopers by the bucket load, only to have Darth Vader, relentlessly walking - not running, force jumping, or even marching, just that constant, slow walk - towards the rebel lines. Grenades did nothing. Blaster bolts were deflected, cast aside by the black figure of death as he slowly got closer and closer and closer, raising his lightsaber... petrifying!
