Literally one out of two cars on the road is a company car.

Good to know I’m not the only one not having a nerdgasm about this thing. There’s nothing inherently wrong with era-specific spoofs—see Danger 5—but too much fan-service can absolutely be a bad thing.

Not feeling most of these, but that xenomorph version is pure genius.

So you just don’t like TV.

Interesting that you'd bring up Koch. The prosecution couldn't prove that she actually made skin lampshades. The existence of those is far from certain. But they make for a nice, grisly urban legend.

True, but c'mon, that's definitely an action movie. It has that whole silly village shootout, and all sorts of action bros. I feel like a movie can veer into action movie status through sheer testosterone.

Hate to be that guy, but how is this an action movie? It's a crime movie with a really memorable car chase. What action movie spends this much time with no one punching or shooting each other, and is this wonderfully, intentionally plodding (the tailing and whatnot, and entire middle section, basically)?

It’s still rare enough in gaming as to be news. You’re confusing coverage with advocacy.

I figured out, from his subsequent comments, what he was trying to say, and I totally agree. But I stand by my original point, which is that bad writing—or just lazy word choices—can lead to a lot of confusion. Dickish as it might be, I just want people to up their comment game on this site. Stories like this one are…

Not sure how anything I wrote makes me close-minded. Just pointing out that, if you’re going to leave a comment about something this controversial, maybe choose your words more carefully.

It would have been better if people saw this character as an actual character/person

The hell are you talking about? The video is from Poland. The guy in blackface is presumably Polish.

Unfortunately, yes. But I’ve also seen footage of cross-burnings, and don’t plan on lighting any myself.

Take a spin through Gawker network posts about racism and sexism, and Kotaku commenters are, hands-down, the most generally clueless or flat-out awful.

All things are not equal, or relative. Blackface is a wretched practice with tons of baggage, that has to do with the dehumanization and oppression of a minority. Whiteface is not, in any way, comparable.

Holy

That episode came to mind, too. Except, like in Tropic Thunder, the joke is that the characters in blackface are clearly idiots. It’s an attack on them. The April Fool’s joke is just regular-ass blackface, without the satire or self-deprecation.

That might invite some postmodern counter-swatting, but I agree. And this would seem like a pretty easy sell, given that its about being not only tough on crime, but tough on that notably insidious subset of criminals: GAMER CRIMINALS!

Someone at the federal level should be assisting in tracing these little jackasses, every single time it happens. The only way this will stop is if it's 100 percent clear that you will always be caught, no exceptions.

The only character/bit I didn't like was Chupacabra....who's great on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast!
