I understand there have been some truly reprehensible acts carried out by these insecure alpha-hetero men against self-professed Bronies, and I'm truly sorry for what your friend had to go through for simply being confident and honest.

...fucking what?

The whole Brony culture is interesting because it feels like a truly reactive culture, where all of its excesses are spurred on by the external hatred, which in turn empowers them. I watched one episode with the wife on Netflix, and after she turned away in disgust, I somehow continued watching precisely because it's…

Looks like a step up to me

Greg Miller strikes again

Well said. I think a lot of the similarities are based on the fact that both outlets have a tendency to read into what they believe to be the unspoken and attract a whole lot of headlines from that. Another example is that whole David Jaffe comment on the new Twisted Metal and how Kate Cox's article clung onto this as…

After reading a lot of these comments, I have a feeling that quite a few people would be singing a different tune if the content of the entry was unchanged but the author was listed as "John Riccitiello" instead of Dude Huge's

These dubstep montage parodies used to be funny until Reddit "Arrow In A Knee"'d them to death. Moderation, folks.

I think the EA and Valve comparison is pretty shaky and honestly, a little disappointing coming from you. I agree a big part of the different levels of hatred stem from a perception problem, but the perception problem has to come from somewhere. The difference is that TF2's micro-transactions are entirely optional as…

I was at the Ikea in the Wang Jing neighborhood of Beijing once, and I saw a middle-class man trying to get his daughter to urinate onto a support beam. "You wanna go? You wanna go? Go!" This was while he was standing right next to a trashcan. The security guard standing right the fuck next to him was just on her…

By "this job", are you referring to a Kotaku columnist ? Because she's perfect in that regard. She has some excellent (and I stress "excellent") writing on her personal website, which means it'll never see print here, seeing as how this site has already successfully cultivated her sensationalist persona.

No Asian female quadriplegic protagonist with Crohn's = not interested

lawl at "random"

Yup. I meant "You too, huh" as in "So you clicked on this article because of the awkwardly-worded title, too, huh"

Not to sound snobby, but judging by the content of the most active comment threads in response to this article, it doesn't really seem to bother anyone else. So, maybe it's just me that finds the context of this article a little disturbing.

No female protagonist = not interested

You too, huh

I've been playing this all day and laughing my ass off while doing so. Thanks for the tip!

As long as Criterion didn't change Sonic's fur color to black and give him a 'tude, that is.

Honestly, I think any notable character would make for solid endless runner fodder (a Nathan Drake-inspired Temple Run game, for instance), but it makes a lot of sense for Sonic. Hell, this could probably make for a game that is closest in spirit to the original and best Sonic games.
