Obviously, we weren't really friends after those incidents :P

Man, I completely feel this topic. Hell, I had a friend in high-school that was going through some serious depression, so I lent him all of my Xbox games (I think about 20, all of which I had paid for myself), because video-games had helped me keep my mind off of things. About a month or two later, I realized he had…

Hmm, very interesting article! Good ol' Kotaku :D

Personally, I think it just boils down to the fact that, with so many people carrying smartphones, handhelds just really have to go above-and-beyond to prove their worth.

I still quite like the first Armored Core on the PS2 (I think it was 3? Can't remember). It was really easy to take advantage of the AI, but I thought for the most part, it was pretty good.

Honestly, this "Mega Man" *would* have been absolutely hilarious, given that MMU and Legends 3 were intended to be released at the time this character was planned. Given how things turned out, though, it's a good chuckle, followed by a horrible realization that this series is absolutely never coming back.

In fairness.... come on, is that not the most terrifying thing you've ever seen?

If it can't play used games, then what, it can't play rented games, either?

Didn't that thing also hover when Darth Maul rode it in The Phantom Menace?

Man, that Shovel looks pretty sweet.

I'm still surprised they decided to skimp on Milla Jovavich-nudity in the last one. I mean, that was the best thing going for it!

Aww man, I was hoping there had been some last-minute announcement for another Sega console >_<

You know who I'd like to see added?

Hmm, that's actually a really good point; I've never really thought of it that way, but you're right, the government really is a wholly different beast than it was really meant to be.

So have you any suggestions? You're obviously a lot more intelligent on these matters than I am, and you can't just resign to "let things happen". The U.S. is in shambles, there's no denying that, but knowing the reasons doesn't do any good unless that knowledge is applied to a solution, somehow.

Man, this reference alone is enough to almost make me want to...

I'd like to see it, as well. I suppose it's a difficult choice to make, though, when your career is potentially on the line. There are few sites that would make as profound an impact as Kotaku going dark on E3, but for the individual writers it might feel like too big a risk, as I think they rely almost entirely on…

Hah, that's crazy!

So, what, just don't do anything?

I can't help but laugh at the irony, they refuse to call the project cancelled, yet shoot down requests for FF7 when it's obviously that, at some point, they'll pretty much *have* to remake it.
