For me, it goes in the same category as Blade Runner 2049, that small collection of really good movies that didn’t need to exist in the first place. Fury Road and Blade Runner were 10/10 movies, not a single wasted shot in either of them. Furiosa and BR2049 were 9/10 movies with a little too much filler, and I’m not…

I haven’t read much X-Men since then. The Xorn thing just annoyed me - he was a super interesting character, then Morrison was like “Actually, he was just Magneto all along, also Magneto’s a junkie.”

I have every issue of New X-Men, it started back when I was in college and continued for a while afterward. I loved the series...until about the last 10 issues or so. Everything from the beginning of the Planet X storyline to the end just seemed like Morrison deliberately destroying every good idea and interesting…

I think what really baffles a lot of people about the last season of GoT being rushed is that when something is rushed, it’s usually the studio telling them to wrap it up. In their case, it wasn’t. HBO gave them as much time and money as they wanted, but they chose to crash and burn because they were bored.

Nah, I can definitely empathize with Godzilla, I can definitely understand being grouchy and wanting people to leave you the hell alone so you can sleep. Sounds like pro-mammal bias to me, but at least I have to give Wingard credit for not actually having Kong stand a chance against him last time around.

(Proceeds to cast an ice spell at it, because pawn.)

I was hoping it would still be as corny as it was the first time around, and it made me happy during a preview when one of the pawns said “Fie! ‘Tis a cyclops!”

My favorite goats are still the yellow ones on the plateau in Elden Ring that shoot lightning at you and then roll away. I just stood there and stared the first time that happened. Most random goat design in all of gaming.

“Get a fucking life, it’s just tits and dragons.”

He’s not wrong. Guess he’d better get ready for the Twitter death threats.

Seriously, the world didn’t end when Vine shut down. The way people are talking about this, you’d think they’d rather give up food and water than lose a short-form video app for preserving your dumbest life moments for all time.

I want to hear the outtakes from Cox and Shane. “What the fuck am I reading about here?”

There’s a certain crowd that wants a pat on the back for not owning a console.

I’m glad these people are very stupid.

One thing that they never really point out but is really useful early on is to focus on rebuilding port towns before anything else. Once they’re rebuilt you can take a boat to an island (including the one you start out on) where there are a bunch of resources. The first island also has an easy quest that gives you a…

Gamers are always on the lookout for the next thing to be angry about. So-and-so company “contributes woke material” to a game. These devs are out to get me. This game has too much walking and not enough shooting. This character looks different than in the last game.

It could be a pain, but a recent-ish update also let you add the screencap eyeball and the flashlight module in free slots, which makes it a little less annoying. Still achieves greatness, though.

I’m not even sure if they watch TV.

Headlines have gotten very “How do you do, fellow kids?” in the past few years, but I don’t know if zoomers even read Kotaku.

It started getting really bad after the Mass Effect fandom had a collective meltdown after they didn’t like the ending of ME3 and BioWare caved to their demands. Gamers realized they could just bully devs into doing whatever.
