@Lucasreis: I can somewhat agree there. Threatening to not release games on a console is sort of useless. Kotick isn't making friends with that sort of rhetoric in the PS3 camp. You can't pressure a first-party to cut the price of their console, at least not from a third-party perspective. We could if we stopped

My five year old told my wife Sunday afternoon, "I love following you around. God put me here to follow you around." They say the best things when they're loving.

Could we do a TAY Special for the Summer Book Club? I'm almost finished with Ender's Game, so I'd like to talk about it first. ;)

@geekzapoppin: How precisely have libraries ignored teenagers? I certainly wouldn't want the noise of gaming consoles blasting throughout the library where I'm trying to read and relax. Quietly. Is that the problem? Teens are hurt because they have to be quiet in the library? When I was a teen, I loved the library.

I just want my DLC. Thanks, Owen, for the update!

It's the difference in societies. Japanese gamers aren't like American gamers, in general. Their playstyles are different. Dragon Quest VIII didn't sell very well over here, with the exception of otakus and JRPG fans. That's the rub. American gamers are down, again I say this in general, with their bloody violence and

Let's check the trends in gaming sociology, shall we?

Hori's always had quality sticks. $300 is steep, but I'd be willing to bet that it's worth it.

Where the hell is my Fallout 3 DLC? Could SOMEONE at the Tower give us an official answer as to why the DLC is a MONTH overdue?

I'm liking the changes. Hopefully I'll be insightful.

Oh, and this one takes a monster of a PC to just be playable.

I might have missed it, but guys, Bash is in Japan. It's a day ahead there. It's the 4th for them.

Now we need the Kotaku Book Club TUD or TAY.

Your $50 is going to feed starving children in Redmond, Washington to hungry zombies, apparently. If they force ads on to my account, which I PAY FOR, then I will just go Silver, and Live can go to hell for all I care. I am PAYING for my service. I don't need ads. Fill the Silvers up with ads.

You deserve to be sick, Totilo. What were you thinking, working for MTV? Good thing you came over to the right side of gaming.

Were the voice-over files complete? How many times did you have to click a unit in order to get to the "funny phrases?"

A game like Brutal Legend that worked with my guitar?

@Vitalz: That's the problem these days. People want to compare every MMO to WoW. Not every MMO is WoW, and WoW by no means is the MMO standard. Yes, it's insanely popular, yes, I've played it, and yes, after raiding with a guild for six months where we were almost clearing all the end-game raids in TBC, I got burned

I don't know. I think the whole concept of just tapping the screen to shoot at your vampire/zombie/Crescente concept just doesn't work out too well. I wish it had more...retro controls.
