Kotaku Off Topic: Dig In [How Is This News?]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...oth_trench.jpgSo, I hear some of you Kotaku Off Topic readers are having some lousy weather. How's your internet connection holding up? If you can read this, we've got some off topic things to discuss.
Let's not talk about the weather, though. No small talk in this open thread, as we prefer idle chitchat and the occasional trivial conversation. Afraid there's not much exciting happening on my end to spark up conversation, as much of my day was spent doing embargoed things over at Square Enix. I'm sure you can quickly guess what for.
So, have along Kotaku Off Topic weekend thread to enjoy and be nice to each other.

• How vinyl records are made - a video!
• The Super Bowl, as directed by Tarantino, Anderson, Lynch & more - Stay for the Werner Herzog.
• Giant Robot is in trouble - Asian culture mag needs money!
• The Last Airbender Super Bowl TV spot - Oh, M. Night Shyamalan is directing this. I forgot. What a twist!
