Really? I mean really? Fuck off. She's white so she can't wear a traditionally Asian dress? What the fuck is this shit?

I absolutely love that people used cartography to map out a videogame level based on a limited amount of data.

That's just cool as hell. And stupid. I think it might also be stupid.

On the contrary, I think Jesse becomes more likeable with every season, while staying true to his character. It's a believable progression.

Don't boycott the movie because of Orson Scott Card's ignorant beliefs. Boycotts don't work anyway, because there aren't enough people who care. The media deceives us into thinking everyone is worked up over this guy's ignorance, but the truth is most people will go see this movie anyway.

They targeted Windows because it is 90+ percent of all computers. That is why Windows is always targeted and has more security problems. If Mac OS was 90% of computers and still the same it would have them level of security problems.

I've mentioned this before, and it seems that it must be mentioned again. The sheer level of cognitive dissonance displayed by some in the gaming community is utterly asinine.

It's not a simple question, because they can't get locked into anything at this point. If they say "yes, we are going to do steam-style sales," and then they don;t have a massive summer sale, people are going to say they lied, even if they have daily deals and games decrease in price over time. If they say "no, we…

Frankly, I agree that the 24-hour check in was a bad feature, but we as consumers could have pushed to get that changed without them walking back everything else. With regards to backward compatibility, physical discs have nothing to do with whether or not something is backwards compatible. Assuming in 10-15 years…

Huh? It wasn't always-online. It was online check every 24 hours. And what do you mean no device is always online? My computer is always online when it's on. As is my 360. As is my phone, again when it's on. Unless you take always online to mean constantly sending and receiving data, in which case, yeah, when I am not…

Lol. I'm sure people said CD's were fine when the first iPod came out, and are probably saying the same thing about DVD's and Bluerays right now. You're kidding yourself if you think physical media will still be a thing in 10 years for anything but bookshelf collectors editions.

Because the entry price for a PC is much higher, because using a PC is more difficult for a lot of users, and because you have to frequently update a PC which you don't have to do on a console. It is not a perfect competitor to a console, just an imperfect one. If PC's cost $400, were ready to use out of the box,…

You seem to be confused about how monopoly pricing works (this isn't even a monopoly, because there are competitors in the PC, PS4, and WiiU, and if you can get all the $60 Xbox one games for the PS4, PC, etc for $10, people are gonna jump ship, but let's just assume it really IS a monopoly, for the sake of argument),…

Not if it meant they couldn't compete, and not if publishers wanted to push the price down. Do you think steam puts stuff on sale because they are warm and fluffy and want to love you forever? They do it because it makes them money. Microsoft is not a stupid company. They would have had the same caliber of finance…

So you hate steam? Because that's what you just described. If not being able to sell used games and once every 24-hours internet check in (steam wants you to check in occasionally as well) to something that's always online anyway is what I have to give up for all the advantages of a stream-like ecosystem, then sign…

I would love a steambox. But since the only one we've seen so far is a grand and runs linux out of the box, it is not a serious contender with consoles for mainstream users. Also, there are games you can get on consoles that either never come to PC or a shittily ported. Thus, the ideal situation (which I have) is a…

I was so pissed when idiotic, living-in-the-past gamers who are unable see the mac truck that is digital distribution for everything until it hits them got Microsoft to walk this back. DISC MEDIA IS DEAD PEOPLE. GET OVER IT. All you did is ensure that gamestop, one of the shittiest companies in the country, tacked on…

So Sony forcing PSN on you and keeping online codes going is a choice of freedom? They're just a generation behind. Enjoy your last 4-5years of disc based gaming. By the end of this cycle, most will purchase digitally. At least Microsoft was trying to put a system in place to allow you to trade/sell digital versions.…

This one does not bother me at all. There is a major difference between this an email/phone calls. The difference being that the U.S. Postal Service is a government agency. If I am using a government agency to deliver my communications, I expect them to keep records of the data involved in shipping it. It is only…

I think flippant, flagrant remarks should always be curtailed.

I invented a new game - I call it "Kotakuism". Just choose a random article of Kotaku, dive to the comments and see how many random rants against machismo or cisgenderism in videogames you find. 10 points for every one you find, 20 extra if it's the most rated comment on the page, 50 extra if it's the first. Add 5 if…
