I loved "The Room". It just oozed with atmosphere. Can't wait to see what's next.

"How it looks"
I was not a fan of Snow Crash. Perhaps the fact that it was part of a school assignment tarnished it in my mind, but it just didn't make an impact on me. The main thing I remember is that the girl had an in-vagina device that injected some sort of knock-out drug into the big guy's penis. 'Cause that's pretty crazy.
Same here. Is it racist to want black characters to look like actual black people? Or is it racist to make a black character that doesn't look black?
Agreed. I always wanted a Quake 2 map of the Virginia Tech campus when I was an undergrad. There was no malice in it; just a desire to play in a familiar place. Of course now, after the April 16th shootings, I know that it would be a little tasteless. But these kids probably just had the same desire, and didn't…
I think you might regret this decision when you have children, and want to play the games you loved as a child with them. I never really had a game collection. I pretty much sold my games after I beat them, and sold old consoles to finance the purchase of the next generation. But now I look back and wished I had…
Well, instead of thinking "this is the way I play video games" think of it as "this is how I work out." So instead of maybe going for a run, or to the gym, your workout routine is to play Skyrim for an hour on this thing. That's a workout program I could stick to.
Calm down. This article is about how you don't need better graphics to make better characters. It is not about Killzone being a bad game (which he never says).
As a male reader of Kotaku, I feel embarrassed by my fellow male readers of Kotaku. I wish I was better at explaining how society pushes gender roles on us at birth, and how an entire life of being told "boys like X and girls like Y" creates the more accute problems we see such as there being no women at the PS4…
On a related topic, someone from Epic recently made a comment like (I'm paraphrasing) "we can't use a female lead character, because those kind of games don't sell". But this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You know damn well that if the next Gears game starred Anya, Sam, or Cole Train, that game would still sell…
Looks beautiful, but it needs to lose the rain drops on the "lens". I hate that.
When a friend and I were discussing what we did differently, I was actually surprised at how different some of our stories ended up. Yes, the same characters died, but they died in completely different ways.
At 6:56 he says "And meow we're gonna show...". Well played narrator guy.
Just think of it as D-Day —> Z-Day —> Day Z... The day Zombies invaded.
I've got a better idea. Instead of banning games outright, why don't they adopt a policy that enforces adherence to ESRB ratings, unless overruled by a parent?
Same here. Though I guess if the first paragraph said "this movie sucks" then I wouldn't have clicked through to the article, and earned Kotaku some ad revenue. Clever bastards.
I don't think paraphrasing his argument as simply "it's different from what I've become accustomed to" is fair. I don't think that is the argument. The argument is that the motion on screen looks jarringly strange. Now that might well be a RESULT of not being used to it, but it is a real argument. Might that…
Buy it. Now. Love this game.
Hmm. My first reaction is, "Damnit, this is NOT Horde + Beast. This is entirely different! I want fucking Horde Mode, with player controlled Locust. What's so goddamn hard to understand about that?!". My second reaction is, "Epic is pretty good at making fun games. This mode will probably be more fun than what…
Update: Tried the mod. While I liked the idea, in practice it was just too much of a pain.
