My kids watch Christmas shows now whenever they want. Kind of takes the uniqueness away from the holiday.

...do they want to watch Christmas shows not during December?

My parents got remote control once I was big enough to get up and change the channel for them.

Took me a second  ;D

Oh yeah. If I see "Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas" one more time this year, I may go on a killing spree (and I'm a Christmasphile).
If I was a Jedi, there's a 100% chance that I'd use The Force inappropriately.

You know I never thought about that until you just said it - but you're right!

Also, there is nobody walking dogs.
And bunches of people walking around, but not carrying anything, like grocery bags.

A city with fighter jets, attack helicopters, and even blimps, but not a single air field

The rogue Isles had landing fields, but it might have been only for the Sky Raiders.

The body of every vehicle is coated with an amazing frictionless surface.

...while every fence in the game is coated with glue, as you'd find out if you ever tried to jump over one while standing in contact with it.

Did anybody mention getting a mission, running to the door of the building, and after opening the door, you're in a cave?

There was one mission -- I forget whose story arc it was -- that sent you to a warehouse, generally in the south end of Independence Port, where you entered the warehouse and found yourself in a 5th Column/Council base, with an entry blurb describing how you found the entrance to the base in the basement of the warehouse. It was the only mission that I found where the door you entered was different from the map you arrived on and you got an explanation of why that happened.

Using Icon, I was able to determine that the inside of the arena is larger than the outside.
The same is probably true of most of the building that you can enter.

In another thread it was confirmed that the city maps don't line up at all and Tera Volta is much larger than the space given it within Independence Port.

Here's another, that I just mention in "Where have all the heroes gone: forum" a discussion thread for my fan fiction, Ms. Liberty is in three places at once.
Atlas Park trainer
Atlas Park fort trident
Indy Port STF contact.

After all Lady Jayne came out of nowhere, they could have came up with somebody else for two of those spots.

They tried to take Ms. Liberty out of AP. It broke a bunch of arcs they didn't want to have to fix in a hurry. So they put her back.

Oh yeah, I even wrote an AE arc that had Kolinda sending heroes in to defeat the evil twin of Ms. Liberty.
At the end of the arc, Kolinda tells you that that was the real Ms. Liberty you defeated and that the Longbow are looking for you.  Classic.
So, even I would have to re-write something if Ms. Liberty made more sense.
