I mean, if they aren't going to put the real herbs in there, they shouldn't be marketing it under the name of a real type of drink. 

Good on you for being one of the few people who’s not demanding that every article suit his interests. Way too much of that around here.

Can we PLEASE.......STOP. CALLING. PLAYING. VIDEO. GAMES........ “Sports”

Twitter is such a shitshow. I really wish it had gone out of business when the finances were looking weak. Humanity would be better off. 

The insanity is what makes it fun and I honestly couldn’t possibly care less about fairness and balance when playing the partiest party mode in the game.

The only thing they should salvage from this mode is the ability to have a different character for each stock. Distill that into a new version of the standard Smash mode where each person chooses 3-5 characters (or gets a tiny bonus for going totally random!), and suddenly a balanced team composition becomes more…

Aw, I really loved that mode. Chaotic things like that are what make the game fun for me to play with people of wildly different skill levels, like when I play Smash during the holidays with my sister, mom, and uncle. My mom’s not great at games, but she really enjoys playing Smash Bros because the random items like…

Absolutely agreed. The chaos and items in Smash exist for the same reason they do in Mario Kart and Mario Party: to create an experience that anyone can enjoy.

One on one with no items is the most sterile and boring way to play Smash. The game is made to be played with all the crazy items on the strange interfering stages by 4 people at the same time. The game is a Chaos simulator and that’s why it’s fun

Can we get at least a partial transcript? It kills me to see my every website pivoting to video, especially when what drew me to Kotaku in the first place was the longreads.

That’s like claiming you’re a speed-reader by skipping to the last page of a book.

“little thought has been given to the Apu character beyond the accent, that Apu is his ethnicity (and a blatantly distorted one at that) and that’s it.”

I still shop at Gamestop, and I have 0 problem admitting it. Why? Because my local Gamestop (Monroeville Mall, PA) is simply awesome. The staff is all nice, they only go though the motions with their incentives ('Do you want the strategy guide?' 'No' 'Ok cool'), and treat me like an actual human being; I'm on a first…

That is a misconception of how the industry works.

Gamestop regularly has stores send in used copies of hard to find games to the main replenishment warehouse and redistributes them to areas of high demand. Not saying that's necessarily what's going on here, but I'll hold off on lighting the torches until we've got some more information.

Yeah I'm gonna give you the middle finger and buy X/X-2 HD like I did with XIII.

I will to this day, NEVER understand why Stone Cold was so liked. His wrestling skills were ass. His mic skills were maybe above average. And he created the most annoying fan chant that is still used today with the "what?" crap. The Rock, HHH, RVD, hell even Cena is 1000x better than Stone Cold ever was. I guess just…
