I'd also like to add my voice to others in saying that every time I see the term "PC Master Race" I feel personally uncomfortable.

I'm pretty sure in the opening Eric says that games have been a "mainstream" part of culture for almost the entire history of the human race. Perhaps you mean digital video games?

When I was a film student I found it much, MUCH easier to design a board game or make a flash game than to make a short film that would end up getting seen by far less people than my games would get played by. Just my own personal response. :-)

I love these recaps. Keep up the great work.

I love to see this kind of e-Sports coverage on Kotaku. Great type of round-up and look forward to more of it in the future.

I think my choices so far are Ridiculous Fishing, Nimble Quest, and Hundreds (I think that came out during the first week of 2013, right?).

While I approve of your general sentiment, I disagree with the burden you put on the offended person to solve the issue. By asking those offended to not complain, but rather try to start a dialogue, you are assuming that their complaints are unproductive, which I usually disagree with, and that some such dialogue is…

As the designer of this game I'd just like to say I endorse this review. ;-)

I honestly think, despite the typical match three genre, this game seems to have some depth to it. After all all Triple Town was a match three, but was still an incredible and innovative game.

Still if anyone's looking for a different iOS (+ Android) game that also came out yesterday, check out Color Zen ( which I may…

He does make some good points, but targeting Dark Souls was a mistake in my opinion. I'd say the player is still learning and discovering new things about the system at least 40 hours into their first play-through.

Very glad to see you taking the helm, Stephen. Good luck and congratulations!

As a player who made it to the Final Four of the Indiecade Metagame tournament, I can assure you all it's an amazing time, the cards are awesomely made and great to have, and you should all buy it. :-)

So would you then say, that it's even more stupid to spend time calling the people who are calling things stupid on the internet, stupid on the internet?

Well, I actually did not watch them, but I sympathize with the group of people who would prefer the show to stick around and improve, as opposed to getting cut altogether.

I sympathize with your rhetoric, Gus, but I found this to be written in such an incredibly condescending way that it sucked all the attempted positivity right out of it. I know you didn't mean it, but you sounded a mental millimieter away from saying "QQ more."

Stephen,

I agree with you, but mostly was disagreeing on an even more fundamental level of what a game is and how a message or vision can be conveyed with a system. Even if Kojima painted every pixel and wrote every line of code, I doubt whether the system of a game in its lowest level can convey a vision in the way Leigh…

Leigh,

Whoever edited this video should be shot.

Is Metal Gear Solid HD Collection going on sale anywhere? I think I saw K-Mart may have it for 35$, is that it? What about the ICO / SOTC collection?
