I’d go back and read that entire section, and perhaps check out the linked post in that section.

That’s a huge generalization and oversimplification in the first place, but there’s a great book that addresses your point. It’s a really eye-opening read: Scarcity: why having too little means so much. It discusses decision-making (and other behaviors) when you have limited resources (both time and money). Side note:…

Didn’t take long for “That Guy” to show up

People were using their critical thinking skills. They read the reviews, determined that the reviewers’ personal tastes regarding movies were similar to their own, and concluded that if the reviewer didn’t like it then they most likely weren’t going to like it either, and stayed home.

That feels unnecessary, and awfully clickbaity.

While I sympathize with your love of the unknown — I love surprises too! — this is a news outlet, and we don’t believe that reporting on news requires a spoiler warning. Sorry.

fuck gwent

I mean, it’s definitely censorship. These costumes were clearly integral to the narrative arc and thematic undercurrents of the game. Removing them compromises their artistic statement and the message contained within them. How am I even supposed to get scared now?

Maybe you should have come to the defense of the likes of Norman Rogers, Roger Goodman, Milo Dochow, Wil Curiel, John Ryan, Lisa Osterman, Denise Hay, Ed Angleton, Toho Soma, Dmitry Spivak, Thomas Hurley III, and Greg Buzzard when they got ruled incorrect in Final JEOPARDY!. Did you? Did you?

Riot just released a set of League of Legends Facebook stickers, which means you can mercilessly troll your friends with Teemo when you’re not even playing the game. NICE. Download them here.

Mixed martial artist. It’s one thing to be a great martial artist - he’s not the best at any one discipline. But mixing all those different styles and techniques together? He’s up there. Who else can compete with him in the all-time P4P rankings? GSP, possibly. Fedor? Jon Jones? I feel like if you polled every MMA fan…

Dude... sounds like you need to just let it go.

Of course, then my next reaction would be”...AWESOME!”

I agree entirely - I feel like EVERY character in League is iconic, while the Dota characters are generic and forgettable.

One of League’s biggest issues visually is that it’s all over the place, with no single unifying style or trademark unifying the game’s various character designs. Sometimes that counts against it, in that it’s difficult to point to a LoL character and say, yeah, that’s definitely an iconic LoL character (like you can…

Did you read the same thing I did? The only ones that were completely wrong were in regards to release dates (UC 3 being the big one) and in regards to the number of F2P games coming. I was impressed hat almost every single one was right actually....

Yes, we’re talking about the same Kotaku, a news and opinion outlet like any other that will have successes and stumbles along the way. I agonize about stories all the time, some I wish we did better, some that we’ve had to run despite a lot of resistance from people involved who didn’t want us to tell a fair…

If GamerGate were actually about ethics in journalism, they would not be actively trying to destroy Kotaku — a site that refuses press junkets, regularly pisses off game publishers through aggressive journalism, and is just about as transparent as any gaming site can be — they’d be going after Metacritic and exclusive…
