Dude, this isn't about the video, it's about the trolling comment at the end of it in response to Kotaku posting in a news headline that the Joker dies. That's something nobody can avoid if they're taking even a cursory glance at this website. If I come to a gaming blog for gaming news, I don't expect to see a massive…

Damn. Thank you for all that!

Couldn't it be argued that the number of people involved in producing a centerfold is too miniscule to say that the women chosen in no way represent en masse appeal to the detail that they seem to be analyzing? I mean, even though it's their job to pick the sexiest women possible, even if 100 people directly oversaw a…

If someone receives shitty service their complaints are valid. Even though a lot of people complained with expletives, that doesn't change Kotoaku's initial "stepping in it." What's more, they trolled their readers. Even though they're technically professional bloggers, they have major influence in the industry and…

Next time you choose to insult a large swathe of people for complaining, make sure you understand their complaints. People were first upset because Kotaku posted a spoiler from Arkham City in their headline. (Even if the Joker comes back, you can't argue that everyone's been robbed of the initial shock and awe of…

Kotaku editors usually rubbed me the wrong way, but holy shit. This is the kind of immaturity you're dishing out now? Unbelievable. Way to set the standards for intelligence in the gaming community.

If my 12th grade English teacher ever referred to herself as a gamer because she loves Joust and has an Angry Birds addiction, I wouldn't be upset or offended and I really wouldn't refute the label in certain respects even though she will never ever lend credence to the idea that games can bear literary significance…

Whaaat? You mean the Catholic church wasn't a monolithic organization that served as a totalitarian organization? Nah...

Yeah I was seriously hoping they would manage to fit both Amy's, somehow, into the TARDIS. I mean, if they carry on the psychological scars into future episodes, then great, but I felt like even though this episode may have depicted some crushing realities about the Doctor and what he does (even though we've gathered…

"Or the events of Miracle Day are a fixed point for the Doctor and he already knows how they turn out, so he's chosen not to intervene."

Japanese are way too vicious and unforgiving with their idols. I can understand trying to maintain the fantasy, but the sheer public bondage on their social lives and thoughts they need to go through to do it is ridiculous.

Maybe this explains why, while subsisting almost purely on home-made fries (with skin), I was so calm despite my impending financial ruin.

God damn, this is fairly fucking awesome. I don't know about ugly, though. Charming, definitely.

Right, because no one ever uses slang, ever. I'm sorry, but if you sit down on any inner city bus with some young black folk, they generally use a lot of slang and have an urban accent. Maybe hearing a character in a piece of fiction say "weeeell sheeeeeit" makes some people cringe, but you can hear similar in the…

Sure thing. Unless there's an atmosphere of trolling or someone automatically devolves the conversation I like to keep things as academically styled as possible.

Personally I don't think a lack of effort or will has anything to do with the fantasy. I think the destined love trope could work perfectly well if two fated folk met up and had to wade through years of figuring out normal relationship stuff. In my mind it's more about quelling a sense of loneliness or…

Holy crap. That is one of the bitterest things I've read in a long time. Firstly, why does she automatically plunge into a feminist critique? If we're using the gender neutral term "bond-mate," aren't we already assuming that the men can potentially have just as shitty a time as the women? Shit, it may have been more…

I don't know whether this is depressing or exciting. On the one hand, yay future! On the other hand, is it safe to say that there's less creative room for scifi writers veering into Cyberpunk territory? Is it just regular fiction now? Sure, you could ratchet the technology up a bit, but it seems like the basic…

Dude has a point. I'm honestly befuddled by some of these accusations of warrior-ness. The last season made sense because all the aliens had a good reason to believe the Doctor was so dangerous, but River's spiel came out of left field. The only thing I could really connect back to was the fact that the Doctor…

I don't have a problem with super stylized sexual characters if it fits their background and personality, but if you're dealing with someone like Harley I think this is a little blunt. She doesn't seem crazy so much as she seems like an angsty young adult — the only girls I see wearing too-high panties, open bustiers,…
