Undoubtedly more challenging than the “you’re just playing games” people allow, but to claim it is “harder than being a pro athlete” is pretty absurd. There’s a reason pro athletes can’t practice 14 hours a day - the human body literally couldn’t stand up to that. The fact it is possible to practice video games 14…

I will say, out of the two sites I visit on a daily basis, Kotaku and Destructoid, I’ve seen far more intelligent posts here than I have on Destructoid. DToid seems to be filled with man-children who are only capable of posting overused memes and endless dick jokes. It’s like walking into a middle school or high…

Fortunately, most Kotaku readers are super normal and chill!

And not a SINGLE one of them had a moment of self reflection and were able to admit they were wrong and that their passion clouded their reasonable judgement.

The older I get the, the more I disconnect myself with other “gamers.” I just don't understand this mindset, ****ing nut jobs.

This is such bullshit. I pointed this out to someone who is a “supporter”. Their response would have been funny had it not been chilling. She said “Well, in my day a woman knew her place. You don’t speak out against those who are wealthier because they are more powerful. This little girl (ACK!!!!) should be covering…

This is such an embarrassment to the Gamer community. I can’t believe people effectively had to have their toys taken away from them because they thought that Growlith was more important than contemplation and paying respects to some of the most harrowing chapters in world history.

Only powerleveling cheaters care about this. I’ve seen just as many people walking around playing it today as on previous days. I think that looking at reddit and kotaku’s comment section will give you a misleading impression of just how many people are upset about this.

I don’t think this was really that big a problem before pokemon go. I mean, most games don’t give you that urge to play while driving you know? No one is driving and is like, dammit... I need to play just one more round of candy crush! Pokemon, however, requires you to be outside. And most people spend the majority of…

Conservative parts of the society have a really stiff notion about women’s roles and even more so about purity. Even among less conservative people, there’s a strong cultural idea of what a good girl is, what she does, and how she approaches love and romance. There’s this idea of purity, chastity and innocence that is…

Nintendo/Niantic : We’re doing a staggered roll out of Pokemon Go so we don’t overload the servers and can iron out bugs. Please don’t download the game if you’re not in a release country.

I am unsympathetic to the this particular author. He acts as if the primary cause for black persecution is racism and has nothing to do with the fact that black people engage in more crime.

When I saw this post I nearly fell out from laughter lol. More ironic since not only was I thinking this when I first download the app, but I have experienced it first hand. I live in a predominantly white neighborhood (City as well) and I’m in a interracial marriage of 16 years with 4 kids. I’m never a threat to…

This is gonna be one of those comment sections, so I just want to say I appreciate you sharing with your experience and hope things get better.

The best clearly won. I need to watch Iron Giant again; I heard the BluRay version finally came out recently.

Menasor is the combined form of the Stunticons. And no, I had no idea who Starscream was. I am a huge Transformers fan, and I have never heard of Starscream.

If you want to get technical, it’s sort of an upskirt.

She did not beat Phelps... She got faster on the last 50m of a 400m race than the men, who at the time the winner was Ryan Lochte (28.93 vs 29.10). Over the whole race, she was still 26 sec slower than the men. (4:31.73 vs 4:05.18)

Yes, you are living inside an alien’s snow globe.
