This is a very good point. If a character's gender is irrelevant to the plot, and it would involve a minimum amount of effort to allow a female avatar instead of forcing a male one . . . honestly, it makes the game better.

Do you enjoy being Kotaku's Editor-in-Chief, compared to "simply" writing for it?

Yes. This, absolutely.

When I read this post, all I hear is, "I like acting like a jerk, and because I'm not personally bothered by it, no one should be."

Quebec is part of Canada.

This is, serious talk, one of the best games available for the iPhone. If you do not do this, you are a chump.

Different teams will work concurrently. Zelda is one of their most valuable IPs. I'm not surprised the game has existed, in some form, even in concepts, for five years.

I read the title and got really excited for a moment. EA Sports releasing a cricket game? That would have been AMAZING. I don't know much about cricket, and an AAA video game could show me the way!

She plans on holding Wheatley as Chell.

I don't think those will ever get old.

Not only is Ellen McLain an excellent performer, she's an awfully nice person, too. I'm pleased she's maintaining her relationship with Valve!

Whoa, dude. I picked two successful authors that I thought would be well-known out of the air. I'm not making a comment about whether one is better than the other.

Wise words. It's hard enough to get work as an actor without having people harass the guy who could give you the job. Directors are creative types—yelling about casting is like millions of fans trying to tell Stephen King or J. K. Rowling how to write.

A faster-paced Bookworm Adventures? Sounds all right by me!

Things go wrong when people pick up scissors, too, but do you claim no one ever should?

Geek Squad wouldn't attempt a repair like this; they'd simply recommend replacing the video card. They're interested in selling components, and it's not like you have to be an electrical engineer to work at Best Buy.

As long as 2K Sports is giving EA a run for their money, I'm a happy camper. Better for video games as a whole!

All I'm hoping for is that it'll be different enough to set it apart and attract a more mature crowd than the Call of Duty series. I think the playerbase is going to make or break this game for me.

Of course this is more than a simple hack, but why on earth would you say this? People have done it before. It does work. What evidence do you have to the contrary that this isn't a good idea? (Assuming, of course, that the person performing the hack is at least technically competent and won't botch things up…

If it's a birthday, that it's not figuring out when you first became alive, but when your actual birth occurred.
