Hell yea. Despite Amazon and the hordes of tech bros and the traffic and the housing crisis and the heroin epidemic and Macklemore, I love my city.

A thousand points for even mentioning koobideh, but I think then it needs to be explicitly stated that this is NOT the route to actually making the koobideh.

I feel like in a year No Man’s Sky will be a completely different experience and we’re all going to look back on these posts with much wistfulness.

Yea but Crichton described them as being small in the book. Not turkey small but not like in the movie.

You idiot. Sure, velociraptors were dinky and stupid, but blame the filmmakers for not wanting to go with the name Utahraptor, which was even more badass IRL than the velociraptors were depicted as being. Turns out dinosaurs are still awesome you just kind of have to read more.

So, do away with the main reason I am a console gamer? This article made my eyes gloss over like an article about high-end PCs. It's the end of an era.

This was my favorite quote. He's absolutely right.

That's not assured.

Hey, don’t forget that Sea-Hulk asshole even left early in the incredible Packers NFC Championship game. The SUPERFAN left one of those stunning, instant-classic rally games early. How does he even still live in this city?

Sonic Adventure’s soundtrack was miles above the actual game itself. The disparity was actually kind of jarring.

I don’t know about best of all time, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a shout out to my man Yuzo.

I get no regard, no regard at all. No esteem, neither.

And once I saw a blimp!

Will a cocktail napkin with the words “works good” scrawled in crayon suffice?

I genuinely think Kotaku should have a weekend guest editor who is a father of a 2 year-old girl and who works full-time. I have an extensive knowledge of video games and video game history, but I’m too broke to enjoy any of the brand new games, so when I DO get to play something even remotely current-gen, my mind is…

One of the most surreal moments in ANY medium?

He’s been saying Dwayne Wade’s cousin was going to die? Shouldn't someone look into this?

My birthday is on September 9th and the wife is hinting strongly she’s getting me a PS4. So two days after the Neo announcement. Perfect timing. So it’ll still be current-gen since I doubt the Neo is coming out any time before Christmas.

I still don’t have a PS4. I have a kid and another on the way. I need the cheapest entry model into current-gen video games that I can buy. When the Neo comes out, guess what I’m going to do? Wait probably a year or two before I even consider buying one!
