I legitimately have been looking into a robe to buy recently. Then this shows up on my screen.

Isn't there some sort of Storm/Lightning spell in Skyrim? Causes lightning to come down from the sky and strike your enemies. I have no idea how to find a video of it, but if I put this here I'm sure someone else will find it.

What do you think the largest hurdle to climb will be for the AAA industry in the coming years? Do you think that budgets will just become larger and larger and we'll see more sequels upon sequels? Or will a lot of companies die out because they can't evolve?

While normally I'd be super-super excited for this, the fact that Square-Enix said "We have no news for KH-HD outside of Japan" still has me a bit hesitant. I mean I have no doubt that Disney won't wait to release this as soon as possible in NA/EU, but I'll just curb my enthusiasm until we get that official…

Oh..

I'm sure I won't be the only one to post this, but there is a webcomic series called "Letters to an Absent Father." It's just Ash sending letters to his dad about all the major accomplishments on his Pokemon journy. It's pretty adorable, tear-jerking. http://mareodomo.com/index.php?/comics/letters-to-an-absent-father/

It's not like I'm going for something extremely expensive, but I've just started a new job and I need to work on other bills and things first. Just because I HAVE the money, I would like to keep an insurance fund first. And besides, if not this time it means that I'll have to just make another special event happen! :D

US was just updated online as well!

Oh man, I am so excited for this. I got tickets for the concert in Chicago a few months ago and I've been looking forward to it since. I got round-trip bus tickets into the city for my girlfriend and I for $20 (total), and got a room at a Hilton for a STEAL. If all goes well I hope to propose at this event, but my…

Any plans to revive the Kotaku Talk Radio podcast? I enjoyed it in its varied phases, from the live call-in show to the recorded ones. I don't expect to have the Live show brought back (since it was partnered with CBS, and I don't know how that is now), but I think it'd be cool if this was considered in any form.

How is the job market right now for Japan-to-English localization? I've got a friend who has been doing a lot of Japanese work and even studied abroad for a while. I don't XSEED to hire anyone off the spot right now, but it'd be nice to have any info in his back pocket.

Star Wars? I thought it felt a lot more...Deus Ex: HR-y.

Where have you been the last month?

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. It's already on the Android, so it's not like anything special happened.

You know, after thinking about it I've decided to buy this game on the 3DS eShop rather than a retail version. While Mario 3D Land was good, the levels were more "one then done" type. Sure you could get the golden flag at the end and beat all the levels with Luigi, but it never really felt like it was trying to…

GOD I FUCKING HATE JONTRON. Every time I heard him speak I think he's actually trying to be a caricature, except that's not funny either.

I've been playing it for a few weeks and I'm enjoying it. There are some aspects I don't really like, like some of the microtransaction things, requiring friends to achieve certain goals, but those are more inherent of Facebook than of bad design. Other things I'm still getting used to are just because I've been so…

One of the major selling points of the Ouya console is that it will be open to all owners for their own home development for games/applications. My question: why do you plan on marketing a development-oriented console to a consumer-based demographic? I would say that at least 75% of people who buy games don't care…

The thing is....that's actually not even what the 3DS XL looks like. The 3D Slider on the right is is black and doesn't have the glowing 3D LED and the Select/Home/Start buttons on the bottom are actually BUTTONS. I think the store must have read "3DS XL" in their system inventory and said "quick! make up a picture!"
