Is it really a spoof though? Seems to me more like a lame attempt to cash in on Hatsune Miku's popularity.

If ubisoft make the new zelda, this would be the first day of epona gameplay without patch

A May 2013 Kotaku article about a gamer learning to drive in part with the help of a video game appears to have been based on a hoax that we fell for. Ugh! We've updated the original article. Sorry, folks.

You know, I should really check this "sub-blog" out more. (Only in quotes because I'm not sure that's the right word.) You post some amazing cosplay. I love seeing all the creative costumes and cosplayers. Thanks for keeping it up Luke. :)

Final Destination. No items. Amiibo Fox only.

The original was better...

Maybe if he bought 99 Nokia phones instead, they could have been... N-Gage'd

Well thanks for pointing it out anyway actually, it wasn't my aim so if it reminded me to be more civil, you did me a favor.

I mean, that's a perspective, but it's one I don't have a lot of respect for.

The fact that, say, lit crit or film crit or whatever works differently from STEM does not make it less valid. It is based on a different paradigm of knowing, yes, one built on argumentation rather than measurable data, because how the hell…

If she wanted to be academic in nature she would take herself out of the research first of all, run a study with a random sampling of games with the goal being to record the actual number of instances of what she is fishing for, to all the games where it doesn't happen at all or the roles are even reversed OR you…

There have been plenty of non-military, random males killed just for shits and giggles.

If you're sincerely trying to argue that, for instance, Kratos was designed primarily with a female audience in mind, then I really don't know what to tell you.

You're killing me with all this value, Nintendo.

I've been saying this for a while now.

I grew up in a time when being a "gamer" was cause for ridicule. Shit, admitting to owning a Nintendo in the mid-80's was a good way to get your ass kicked at my school (not at all schools, I understand).

Now that gaming's finally mainstreamed, and the hobby has -finally- gained…

Here's my attempt at this:

Coming soon: Rail Ninjas!

Hell. Yes. I remembered those articles, and I'm glad you stepped in to put this bullshit to rest. This is the umpteenth time I've seen someone accuse Kotaku of something bogus only to have it directly refuted and proven wrong. I should start some sort of blog tallying this shit up. It's so dumb.
