Sorry, I’m just sick of people acting like they know how a game should be made instead of enjoying something that was made by an unfiltered Tim Schafer.

They’re not bad with money, they didn’t make enough money off df’s early access to continue development beyond a certain point. “Obviously, spending more money than we were making isn’t something we can afford to do forever. So, as much as we tried to put off the decision, we finally had to change gears and put…

Actually, they lied about their booth, and that’s grounds for eviction.

I’m fine with both. I didn’t read Strikes Again though, but the creators know how to make movies out of Miller material. As long as they don’t go too Miller. “I’m the goddamn Batman!”

What I mean to say is, a feminist does not advocate banning or eradicating the existence of pieces like Dead or Alive or Onechambara, rather we regret that the hypersexualized portrayal of women is the norm even in pieces in which it is out of place.

That might be true maybe if it happened in the US, but here in Canada, we won’t give them that voice. Not for lack of trying either on the part of the KKK. Same went for Westboro when they tried to harass mourners at a funeral up here. Free speech does not trump everything here and doesn’t allow anyone to say just…

You’re the one who misunderstands. You think that she aims to remove these things from games. On the contrary, her complaints come from the fact that the scenarios she’s complaining about are too commonplace and that the medium defaults to them. We, as an industry, rely on these tropes too much. She’s championing…

You’re right. We have fucked up. Every single one of us has fucked up at one point or another —myself included, as any Dragon’s Crown fan will happily tell you. Should we have done a better job disclosing certain things? Absolutely. As Stephen pointed out back when this whole thing first started, one of Kotaku’s…

The whole SP/RP debacle with the Hugos makes me so sad. I have to believe that we’re winning (because otherwise I’ll not be able to get out of bed tomorrow) but the way that this insane “what about the men/white people/straight people” business has spread is getting me way down. I’d like to believe that this is the…

Meanwhile, real honey badger didn’t give a shit...

Ughhh...

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…

“Equality” is not the same as “letting anyone say/do what they want.” If you have a convention for equal political/social rights, then the KKK and neo nazis have no place, nor do people who will go around being disruptive, be that blaring bullhorns or getting drunk and barfing on everyone’s shoes or whatever.

Why wouldn’t there be? There are always members of oppressed minorities who side with their oppressors. Black and gay republicans, for example.

Michael C. Hall... well then that is interesting. Verrrry interesting.

“Containing an estimated $1000 worth of hardware and games”

So the Spartan-IVs are hunting down Master Chief?

Speculation time!

So I think someone got a hold of the Diadect's technology and used it to attack a human colony. Since Master Chief is the only one completely immune to the weapon, and the only person left alive that knows the extent of the weapons capabilities, blame…

Going to have to disagree with this one. While the overarching *themes* of IV are superior to V's in every way, the actual narrative of Niko Bellic is best described as...wanting.

1-7 I 100% agree with. Number 8 I don't fully see eye to eye with because at the end of the day, women can have sexual empowerment, there are entire sections of the feminist movement that talk about having control over your sexuality and that it is powerful. The idea that we could have that as a reality in life and in…
