It’s been a trip watching angry nerds lose their minds over the sanctity of their 1980's long-form toy commercials.

If Legion proved anything to me, it’s that the studio that made Watch Dogs 2 needs to be the only studio that makes Watch Dogs.

Look. Some of us are old now. Those 12+ hour marathons are 20 years in the past. I try that now and all I’m going to accomplish is a blood clot. And folks can snicker, but their day will come. Eventually you won’t give a shit about learning the timing of phase 3 of whatever boss fight you’re stuck at.  You’re going to…

No, you didn’t. That clip is basically saying that it’s more sexist to draw attention to the fact that sexism still exists than the actual sexism that still exists. Which is a common rhetorical tactic that sexists (and other bigots) use to bully people into silence and perpetuate their sexist (and other bigoted) behavi…

God damn right I did. Great post, Ash.

To be fair, there are hundreds of vidjagame sites out there that offer straight coverage.  Kotaku has ALWAYS been a place where the writers wrote about what they cared about and have had leeway to provide their own takes.  If you just want straight coverage (news, reviews, etc.) there are sites that do that.  That's…

Stephen Totilo hired me! And to answer your other question (which would have been answered with a little more reading):

Lots of racists are about which is normal for this particular corner of the internet.

Listen, working here and writing as I have, there’s the old refrain of “block and ignore.” It’s smart and the correct thing. After all, all this means, if I dedicate myself to this task every time I piss off racists is that I’ll spend forever defending my right to exist to people who do not care. However, ignoring…

Full Offense. And if you think all I write about is race, I’m sorry you missed all my Resident Evil Lady Dimitrescu thirst blogs.

If you think me shouting out a black lady for her guinness world records is objectifying her: how does it feel to never have to look for yourself in the media you consume and the hobbies you participate in?

I appreciate you saying so. Thank you. I’m glad I was able to help you in some ways recognize and work to correct your biases. While it’s not all I want to do in my time here, it is something important to me, so I’m glad in this small way we’ve succeeded.

Ash, I understand that I’m just a stranger on the internet and this will be an absurdly long comment and you may skip it, it’s fine, I won’t be offended.

Rock stacking in real life is fun, because you can feel it, and have to learn to listen to and trust your body to find the hidden points of balance in these jagged heavy stones. Rock stacking in AC is an exercise of swearing at the bizarre camera controls and squinting to find barely perceptible dimples and flat…

Considering how many national treasures the British Museum stole during the 19th and 20th centuries, it’s just one small step toward karmic restitution for them to have one of their national treasures nicked by someone else.

I liked some comics and didn’t like other comics and I don’t understand why you don’t feature that one comic that hasn’t had updates in four years.

A message is talked about, it’s debated, it’s ruminated on, there are discussions to be had about a message. From the jump all Outriders ever says is “humanity fucking sucks”...if there’s no exploration of that it’s not a message, it’s just a stupid comment.

I actually liked that about it. Too often games are so big, with so much to do I end up getting lost in all the content and never actually “finish” the game. I played this over a weekend, unlocked everything and then put it down. It was a good time and I felt accomplished. I’m sure I will have fun with the DLC for a…
