In the past, it seemed like Kotaku only dealt out stars to those silly 'shop contests. Whereas on i09 I was liked and approved on a regular basis.

I like to think of "the grey" as the phantom zone (or the negative zone for marvel fans). A place where the hope is drained out of you on a daily basis, culminating in the eventual ceasing of all post-related activities as you become apathetic about speaking into the void.

I can't even begin to count the number of times I became excited when I received an automated message telling me that I had been promoted, only to discover it was just a comment that received a few likes and that I would still be forced to hangout in the grey comment purgatory.

Ahem.

I'm replying to you because you seem intelligent and CountCagliostro is being a belligerent prick.

1) The song illustrates my interpretation of a tl;dr of his post.

You forgot to mention all the sawdust (listed as cellulose), which we can't digest, that is in our bread (and way too many other foods).

"I let my owner be mauled by a dire weasel for 6 turns, conspired with nearby dice to ensure the weasel remained attached despite his friends efforts, only to finally allow my owner to knock himself out with his bare hands ... after 5 attempts."

I have one important question. On what sites can I buy these?

Blah, blah, blah. Give me updates on when Princess Mononoke, The Cat Returns, and Tales From the Earthsea are hitting bluray in the US.

The next big feature coming to PS4, though, seems to be backwards compatibility. That will arrive via the PlayStation Now streaming service, which is in beta now and will officially launch into open beta on PS4 on July 31.

That scene always makes me cry. It's like watching 90% of the baseball movies that exist.

Too dangerous. People would attack Oddjob on sight.

It's a reskinned Starcraft: Ghost.

That seems fundamentally flawed to me. I just don't see why the union, instead of the composer, would receive royalties. The crap about paying the union directly would probably only work in the 26 states that mandate unions, driving game publishers to move operations to at-will states.

"Back in the day"

It probably will be tied for it alongside Heat Death of the Universe.

It appears they were more focused on contrast to draw the eye rather than artistic value. In doing so they stupidly increased the size of Bayonetta and then obscured some of her hair and one of her legs by making her larger, a combined effect that makes the entire thing look crowded.

Dear Kotaku commenters, why the hell have none of you posted this?
