Aww, this game’s adorable.  It actually believes that I, as a millenial, have the funds or free time to attend a “three day music” festival.  That’s so precious.

No way, this is the best Christmas song:

No third party music, huh? I wonder though if that means we’re allowed to play music that Square Enix owns, like say from one of their own games.

This is, honestly, probably the most accurate description of what is going on. The director of FFXIV talks about the kinds of things he and his team would really like to do with it all the time, and a lot of it is pretty cool, but it definitely seems like the case that while the execs aren’t taking resources away…

From years of roommates and significant others I’ve more or less grown to not care about front roll vs. back roll, and instead only care whether someone changes the damn roll at all when they use the last piece.

GKids has been awesome in that they bring them to the theater, which is an experience I have never had, and they pair the events so that it’s the Disney English dub one day, and the Japanese with English subs the next, so you can pick your poison. Having seen both dubs of My Neighbor Totoro getting to see it in the…

Unfortunately I wouldn’t count on it. They would have to get the rights from Fox, and Fox is a bitchy company when it comes to that kind of thing.

I have to agree. McCree in all forms makes me flood my basement.

The other two “Links” are explained as being Link impersonators. The heroic prophecy of Hytopia doesn’t require THE legendary hero, it only requires whatever heroes are strong enough to come along. Official word of god on the subject is that you, as Link the legendary hero (tm) of Hyrule, fresh off your adventures in…

Hyrule Warriors I don’t know, but both Nintendo and a specific reference in the game place Tri-Force Heroes as a direct sequel to, and staring the same link as, A Link Between Worlds.

It’s kind of funny the full-circled nature of this. Now we’re criticizing Nintendo for not having VC ready at launch on their newest console. I remember back in the day, when they first announced VC was going to be a feature of the Wii, we were instead criticizing Nintendo for selling us their back catalog because…

To be honest I can live without VC at launch. I anticipate being way too busy with Breath of the Wild to notice, and I live in a gamer household where we still have all of the systems going back the PS2/Wii and a couple of spare 3DS’s and emulators on all of the PC’s that I personally own. VC needs are more or less…

In all fairness, I would point out that Kotaku, nor really any site of what used to be Gawker media, has never claimed to be neutral journalism. Kotaku is a blog focused on gaming news, and while they do strive for accuracy in the objective information they supply (release dates and such), they have always been free…

Well, I do believe I shall now be constructing a team of delicious bara daddies, once the summoning RNG decides to be kind to me.

To answer your quite constructive question, within the LGBT community “he” becomes “her” (or the other way around) whenever the person self identifies. There is no expectation that gender reassignment surgery will ever take place, though most do elect to begin hormone therapy. For many hormone replacement therapy is…

Wow, he’s like the Japanese version of that lady who sings about being the Queen of Vagina.

To be honest, even if it could have been phrased better I appreciated the warning. I’m a XIV player since the 1.0 beta and he is definitely understating how mind-shatteringly terrible a lot of aspects of the game were at release. I guess that’s what you get when the executives mettle to get the game out the door to…

To be perfectly honest, Gilgamesh was a bro with all of the Warriors of Light in that game. He even gave a bro shout out to Krile, who he knew for like two seconds. Gilgamesh didn’t let gender get between him and a potential bro.

All totally fair. I found this article well written and the interviews well-researched, but I also do not typically read articles by this author, so I most certainly do not have the added perspective of other parts of her body of work. For all I know this is an unusually well written piece by this particular person.

Only a few dozen more steps until duel disks. The dream continues.
