Considering that the Himalayas are land locked I don't think this island is going to be an island.

Take a closer look at what I have replied to dozen of other posters. I don't feel like copypasting the answer.

Exactly.

I have a headache now.

Thanks for pointing that out, was trying to be succinct. I'll put it up top now!

Of course, denying gay people the right to get married in a game about relationships and marriage is itself "social commentary."

Yeah, it's amazing that it's 2014 and people still talk about gay marriage as if it's a two-sided issue.

Agreed, the problem has nothing to do with Greenlight and everything to do with Early Access.

I won't deny that we've gotten things wrong in the past, but I would argue that the way we approach rumors has changed drastically over the past couple of years. Kotaku's publishing standards have evolved with time, and we've become very picky about the sources of outside rumors that we relay to you guys.

I'm pretty sure it is Charles Manson.

There is a scene in the Dresden Files where Harry hands his arch-nemesis a juice box and says, "Here, your blood sugar's getting low. It's making you cranky."

Ch... cho... Chocobos!?

If we can play as Clap-Trap, does that mean the entire game has no stairs?

This is how I always remember the old games appearing when I first played them. Cutting edge graphics at the time seemed so "realistic", but when I see them on newer technologies it just blows me away.

They really need a better name for that. Like the Tinderbox or something.

Yes but when does it come out!?

My boss worked at a place where their phone number was very close to the Suicide hotline and they've occasionally receive calls of that nature. Serious issue of course, but I can't help to think what kind of position they're in.

I can't say much in response to this other than thank you for sharing this perspective.

I'm on my second re-read since publishing. Really excellent work.
