Also, I would not have minded a bit more pricing information on each capture device, even estimations at a glance.

My big issue is that whether or not a splitter will strip HDCP seems to be a crapshoot. You can't really advertise "HELPS YOU BREAK THE LAW" on an Amazon page. So I don't want to buy all this stuff just to hit such a snag and waste a bunch of money.

So one thing I don't understand: was there no legal paperwork one had to sign when they received an early copy of ACUnity? Was it just one of those "implied" embargoes, where if you don't follow it, you won't receive any more Ubisoft games early anymore?

but..if you actually believe that, why feed the fires?

Not to side with the shitlords of GamerGate, but if they had half a brain they'd ignore her to cut off her publicity. But who ever said GamerGate was logical? So instead they send death threats and give Anita a bigger platform, which is good. I bet Anita would prefer to be left alone, though. I think everyone would…

Oh no. I actually like M"That Swedish O with the line through it". They should have just had her be the musical guest.

Why no Kotaku Extra Life stream, quitters?

I use a Dualshock 3 with RealTriggers attached and it's terrible. Well, okay, it's perfectly fine, but the sticks are god awful. And I can't justify buying an Xbone or PS4 controller because I own neither system.

probably something to do with not wanting people to see glitches and whatnot. I remember when Uncharted 3 came out, they had taken out cheat codes due to claims that it'd make the game unstable.

From the Giant Bomb Quick Look, the guy yelling about being itchy also is a pretty big wink and a nudge from Mikami.

I haven't finished the game yet (just blew up some monument thing in a harrowingly "Oh god dammit!" but then it turned out to be relatively easy "protect this thing before it blows up" mission. The same kind of mission that prevented me from ever beating Infamous 1) but I read through the article and he has a good…

Oh good. I was worried for a bit that the increased number of people in crowds and weather effects would actually be worth something. I thought virtual HK looked plenty crowded (though not realistically crowded because CHINA) when I first played it on PC with the hi res textures.

Austin Walker wrote a pretty good article about how, for a game that wants you to think of orcs as nothing but sword fodder, they go a long way in humanizing each orc. They give them more characterization than even the main characters get.

Was this show good the way Misfits was good before it got terrible?

Tina, is Kevin Wong on Twitter? Or is he a mysterious masked submitter?

More or less. Dude is really superstitious, so you fuck with his stuff until he freaks out. I had kinda forgotten you're trying to get him to relapse. I thought you were just trying to scare him out of town. Kinda grim, in retrospect. Though I remember liking the companion who follows you on the mission, a dude named…

I've been called jook-sing by strangers all my life. I never once thought to look up what it actually meant, besides roughly being called an ABC/American Born Chinese/Banana/Twinkie/etc,

Oh boy, can't wait for Far Cry 4's nuanced handling of forced prostitution rings.

Can't wait for "The Dead Space", which will be a "return to form" for the series that basically gets rid of the shitty ephemera everyone hated, like the microtransactions.

This was the one game at No Quarter I didn't play. I just couldn't wrap my head around the rules, even after reading the booklet. I talked to one of the people running the event and we both agreed that it was a pretty good metaphor for sex, though: you want to play with someone who sorta knows what they're doing and…
