This week I talk about almost re-joining a platform I know I'd hate. Then a look at Disney's next-gen audio-animatronic transforming from a pirate to a skeleton, and why it's a reminder that technology can still serve great storytelling. And a recommendation for the LEGO Game Boy set for a low-key long-weekend build.

Plus, the Automation of the Week.
