"I was told by the director to pronounce it closer to English," Watanabe is quoted by Sponichi as saying. "But that was completely detestable, and I refused."

Koneing 2014 — they must be stopped

I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead.

The Eastman & Laird comics are canonical and everything else is basically an interpretation therefrom. If Batman was gap-toothed in a Nickelodeon TV series it wouldn't be part of the main Batman canon.

I'd say it bothers me the most because it's not canon and unnecessary.

I really despise the David Letterman Donatello. He doesn't need some contrived physical differentiation, he has a bo staff for goodness sakes.

Alzheimers and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease can so cause "holes" to form in the brain. It's certainly not just physical trauma.

He was a "venue coordinator" at GameCity apparently. Unless I can play "Introducing sessions, looking after speakers 3000" on an Atari or something I'd still have to say that wasn't a life-defining exercise in game designing.

And similarly if you've never made games you're not a game creator. As in this case. Since his LinkedIn says that he did some kind of game stuff for a couple months once upon a time I'd accept "ex-game industry worker", but certainly he's much more of an "event coordinator" and less "game designer" than even…

You call him a "game designer" and imply he's a "game creator" in the article, though, and he seems to be one about as much as I'm a Kotaku editor because I post comments sometimes.

Yeah, this is basically what I'm saying. I came to the article expecting a video from a game designer, but he could just as easily be called a "frustrated pizza chef" because he heated up some Delissio last night.

Oh, alright. So basically he's an event planner that has done some kind of consultation work on a couple of decent indie titles.

What retail games has this dude worked on?

As far as guilt-trips go, this is one of the best ones I've seen in a game. And hey, even if it can be a tad annoying, it certainly beats getting hit up with push notifications whenever a friend is begging for extra turns in Candy Crush.

Honestly, I was expecting more butts. #buttsapointed #buttingmorebutts

tl;dw — that is all

Ocean's Thirteen should definitely be up there with Julia Roberts pretending to be Julia Roberts.

I knew they were in trouble when they made Fibble for some ungodly reason.

I'm going to start lining up for Hatsune Miku Batman tickets right now.
