Thing is, I won't bet 50+ dollars to see if a game is good. I'm willing to pay good money for games that I know will be worth it. Having loved Bioshock 1 and 2, I bought Bioshock Infinite the day it launched. Having loved Amnesia: TDD, I bought Amnesia: AMFP the day it launched (although I was somewhat…

While I do see his point, and I don't think he's completely wrong, I disagree for a few reasons. One of them being that, at 30+ dollars, I'll really think a purchase through. I remember when I was a kid, playing exclusively on consoles, when games very rarely came below the 50 dollar price point. I had a very small…

Bold move from someone who doesn't know that 'it's = it is'.

Holy shit, $16,000 starting credit? My first credit card had an initial credit of about $450, and you have to work it up from there.

It's not like it's the only way they have played the game. Those guys have probably beaten the game dozens of times. Speedrunning in itself is rather fun. Just a different approach to the game.

This happened about 4 years ago, so I probably exaggerated the amount unintentionally. It could have been a week, 4 or 5 days, something like that. All I remember is that we cooked a LOT more rice than we intended, and we ate it during the course of several days until it dried up.

We were five 20 year old guys with zero experience in the kitchen. To be honest, I'm glad we didn't get sick! I'll keep than in mind, though. Thanks!

Very slightly above average, actually. It was mostly because after a day or two the rice dried up and it wasn't good to eat anymore, but proceeded to build crappy Onigiri snacks in order to not waste all that rice. Those were some really, really bad onigiris.

Yes, I'm aware of all the cartoons that show butts, but try and go ahead and make that bet. America has become a sue-happy place, and Nintendo is aware of it. I would've done the same in their place to be honest. I'm not gonna risk my sales and company image just because some cartoons show butts as well. As much as I…

That's why I bought the Wii U controller pro. I loved using the GC controller, but it's unrealistic to expect they'll support it forever. We're talking about a console that was released 13 years ago.

cooked rice isn't the same as 10kg of uncooked rice. It grows a lot bigger and heavier with all the water.

It is in fact delicious. Studied a semester in Japan and curry is one of the things I miss the most. Also, their fried chicken is pretty damn great. The pieces aren't too big or meaty, but they taste great.

Sure, compare the porn industry with a company making a game that includes kids as their target market.

Great article, just in time for me. Thanks!

Well, to be fair though, Japan does get a lot of games that don't come out anywhere else. Also, from what I hear, PS4's are pretty useless right now. The game library is too small and shitty at the moment. They'll be fine.

I agree, but I don't hate on the show itself. As far as I know, it got crappy when it went under new management or something. I just stick to the seasons previous to the decline and enjoy them a lot, even if I know every line by heart.

While I don't like spending too much, I have to agree. If you get too worked up on choosing the most cost efficient option ever for everything, every day, you probably won't have a good time. I think there should be a balance, that's how I do it at least. There are things that I believe are worth spending on, and…

If it was as simple as that. 99% of the people won't care. I know because I live in a country where the speed limits are ridiculously slow, and absolutely no one I know obeys them unless there's a patrol car nearby. It is well known that the speed limits are that low to make people ignore them and fine people for…

To be fair though, the design of Kotaku isn't really in their hands. They're a branch of Gawker media, blame them. Kotaku itself, and their writers have nothing to do with it.

Is that the dog companion from Dragon Age scaring Shrek in a corridor of the Resident Evil mansion?
