Heh, I see what you did there. I tossed out a post earlier how Aristotle was my favorite "forum" commenter, but it fell flat as well.

I expect that within the first month of the year. How about asking how we'll spice it up a bit? =)
The ole "murder death kill" routine is pretty played out nowadays.
But, but...I'm special. Well, you know, not the mentally slow kind of special, but the "like a snowflake" kind of special.
bah.
Yes yes, drop a pebble in the pond and all that. You're trying to make my commentary that didn't have anything to do with him, about him. There are plenty of other replies regarding his role as a bully or whatever else.
I was making commentary about the social interaction that affects many of us, not just him.
While I agree with your statement, I'm confused on the cosplay part.

Highly unlikely, they get in the hundreds of millions of hits per week. Ad revenue alone likely has made them wealthy enough over the years to not worry about merchandising as a means of survival.
Let's not forget about Sephiroth. Or starting and ending their handle with X's...unless you know, it's part of the name itself....like mine. ;)
"I may have been the one who got beat upbut I sent plenty of kids home in tears. I also realize that I carried those ridiculous insecurities into adulthood. I still see people who attack me as the enemyand I strike back with the same ferocity as that seventh grader I used to be. I'm ashamed of that and embarrassed.…
You mean the price listing of the mouse that was auto input via kinja due to using a direct link to the page of the mouse? Just like what facebook does if you post a url? Or that fact that there is no "sponsored" label at the top of the page next to his name where it's legally mandated that they state it's a paid-for…
If it was a paid-for ad, they are required to state that it was sponsored by Amazon (which you'll see along the top of other sponsored ads), the "ad" in the lower right stating the price of the mouse was an auto input by kinja due to him using a direct link to the mouse's amazon page. His actual article was a…
I would just like to take a moment to respond to how you responded, that instead of being a knee jerk twat like some of the replies thus far, you've been at least willing to view both sides of what's being discussed. Good on you, most appreciated.
One of my favorite "forum" commenters; Aristotle, once said, "It is the…
"...their readers faces, who eat it all up regardless of effort or quality, simply because they're ignorant, easily amused sycophantic, suck-up sheep"
And yet here you are, clearly the exception to this, so much so that you're reading an article that's an ad, and putting forth the effort to read through the comments on…
I won't disagree, it's a pretty big lull in my day atm.
It's not the stance, it's how it was presented. Like so much in life, it's not what you say, it's how you say it.
What he wrote here was purely to give Luke a hard time, if he wanted to broach the subject of ads in articles, he could have done so far more articulately than a snide jab.
But he chose not to.
But if you…
What "problem" is that? That you were somehow forced to read the article? That somehow, men in black suits hired by kotaku showed up at your home and forced you to click on the article?
Or that the article, as the name states, has a review about a product on amazon? Does it not have a review? Is it not on amazon?
So…
In other news, commenters are still giving article writers a hard time for no other reason than because they're bored and have nothing better to do.
Slow day in the Kotaku commenting section.
Age really doesn't matter, sure it's a factor, but it isn't as much as a factor as people may think.
Proper habits, while it would be good, would have prevented a person from gaining the weight in the first place. People who put weight back on are likely doing so as a result of not developing proper eating habits and…
I've lost more than that in one day, but that doesn't mean it's something you're supposed to do. Losing that type of weight in a single day is pure water weight, and it's done by dehydrating your body. So it's possible, but there's maybe two kinds of people in the world who'd ever need to do it. Blood sport athletes;…
Well, all the websites are part of the gawker media outletand they do sponsor each other's posts. But no, Kotaku Core is an optional way to view kotaku that filters out the non-game related posts. E.G. Anime, Cosplay, government decisions, etc.
