“Essentially every business resells their products,” said Jordan. “Tesco, for example, buys milk from farmers for 26p or so per litre and sells it on for upwards of 70p per litre. No one ever seems to complain to the extent as they are currently doing towards ourselves.”

I hope at least a few of them are stuck with $5000 worth of PS5s that they can’t sell off.

Scalpers don’t get to claim the same status as walmart. Their business is beating other people to the punch. They aren’t a part of the supply chain or anything like that. Walmart is part of the supply chain. They buy from a wholesaler and then sell retail. Without a Walmart, companies like Sony then have to staff up…

It’s pretty obvious that such videos/thumbnails are formulated primarily to draw the attention of children. I’m 31 years old so I’m not remotely interested in the wacky hijinx that kids more than 10 years my junior are getting up to.

And Amber Benson is now corroborating what Charisma Carpenter is saying. Seriously the industry needs to drop Whedon now.

Amber Benson also chimed in:

Doesn’t surprise me. I know there was some pretty shitty stuff that was rumored to have gone down on Buffy and Angel. Pretty shitty.

Yet more evidence that Joss Whedon is a complete POS. Color me unsurprised. I hope the industry drops him like a lead weight. There are plenty of talented people in Hollywood who aren’t horrible who can replace him tomorrow.

At this point it surprises me that it hasn’t evolved, not even a little bit. The “Impact typeface, react face, and arrows because you’re too stupid to understand what you’re looking at” formula has been the standard for that kind of video for ages now. It must work on someone, god knows it pushes me away something…

I still remember when Pokemon had a tie-in with Burger King where they had collectible shiny Pokeballs with a “gold plated” card inside. I think mine is still sitting in some box rotting away in my parents basement.

Given the guy who was meant to be leading Anthem 2.0 was shifted to Dragon Age 4 after the management departures late last year and there’s been no real update for the game since just shy of a whole year ago I think they’ve clearly made their minds up already even if it hasn’t been formalised.

It’s one of the best games ever made, in my opinion. The writing is just utterly inspired.

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that this is the most important artistic news of the last decade.

RIP Kotaku, it was nice while it lasted. best of luck stephen!

It was an honor to work with you. Beautiful note and best of luck on your next gig!!

Despite all his rage, he is still holding cats on this page.

Reznor has been pretty public about the fact that he was a drug and booze-addled mess in the 90s so I wouldn’t rule out some bad stories surfacing from then; unlike Manson he seemed to largely turn into a decent human being after drying out

(Plemons is a casting coup in a film full of them, a perfectly milquetoast representation of the true face of white supremacy.)

It’s worth mentioning that Freddie Hampton’s assassination was basically part of a wider conspiracy orchestrated by the FBI called COINTELPRO. Which included illegal surveillance of civil rights leaders and prominent leftists, infiltrating leftist and civil rights organizations, and funding and arming a right wing…
