Like the last one, Diabolical Box will feature downloadable puzzles every week for 33 weeks. Thanks, Level-5, for the steady drip of Layton puzzles -- let's hope it doesn't run out before at least an announcement for the next one.

Dear Joystiq,
Your E3 coverage is weak this year. Crappy shaky cam videos (can't you link to gametrailers?), slim number of posts and no podcast. What's the deal?

Ok. I will say that these stupid ads that pop up after watching these videos piss me off and so do the pop-ups on any video. I NEVER READ OR WATCH THEM, I either exit or refresh page.

I second, third and fourth that Wicker Man. It's even worse when the video is embedded at the end of a post and you scroll down to watch another video and you have to wait for the stupid ad to finish just so you can hear the next video. Joystiq, get rid of these ads, or find some other viable solution PLEASE!

I have also been shocked at the low number of posts during E3. Are you guys just holding onto a lot of stuff for the post-E3 lull?

WHOOOOOOO!!! Layton 2! It is about time!
@ Arno it won't take Layton to solve the puzzle of your upcoming white-out either!

Something about a little boy and a very tall man in a trench coat spending so much time together just doesn't sit right with me.

@Rob You must be sick of shit all the time. It's a risk you take coming here, I'm sure you know. But there's no need to complain about it every time you see it. Just move on.

I don't complain about it all the time, but today I'm in a bad mood... stupid lousy car!

Well I agree with Rob, I never questioned the nature of the relationship between the two characters. For all we know, the professor is the only father figure the boy has in his life. How else would he just be on random adventures and missing school all the time?
If you want to suspect any kind of young-boy-old-professor relationship, take a look at Dumbledore and Harry. Dumbledore is gay, which doesn't instantly make him a pedophile of course, BUT he also has lots of private meetings with Harry, and he tells Harry that he can't tell anyone about what they do in his office. Now THAT'S suspicious.

You're talking about that blond "person" with the cape, right?
I hope it's a girl because I really like tomboyish girls. But those Japaneses seem to prefer the pretty boys by far...
But still, I wouldn't mind it if it was a boy, I mean, it's not ridiculous looking like some others...

Um... Luke's voice changed. Is it still the same actor in the game and they just decided to employ somebody cheaper for the sake of the trailer (He doesn't really say much)?
Small changes to already established things like that always annoyed me for some reason. :/

Awesome. I enjoyed the first one a lot, so I can't wait for this second part to come over here to our shores.
God, there's a lot of good stuff coming out this summer, and so little cash I have...

The sounds of accordion music sent goosebumps down my arms. August 24 can't come soon enough.
Here's hoping Nintendo follows suit with the second trilogy and movie. (Far-fetched I know.)
