The problem with trademarks is that in order to keep the trademark, you have to aggressively defend the trademark or risk losing the trademark. It's hard to come out of that not looking like an asshole.

MOE Lightsaber - Does not cut enemies, but makes them SUUPA KAWAII DESU!

Aw, Japan gets all the cool stuff. Giant mecha, transforming mecha, combining mecha, giant transforming mecha (some of which combine with other mecha), superpowered guys and girls that get even more superpowered by yelling for half an hour and/or changing the color and/or length of their hair, Godzilla, lusty busty…

The only thing that I didn't like about SA2 compared to SA1 was the emerald hunts. Only being able to detect one at a time kind of screwed over your chances for an A rank unless you were really lucky. Especially if you got boned with all of the emeralds being in crates, buried, spread out far apart, or any or all of…

I did the same. Should've gone with The Thief.

*Bropaw*

Impressive...

And I just noticed that I misspelled "Claudia" in the first line. And it's the first word in the post, for crying out loud! That's going to bug me for a while. Then I'll go to bed and forget it ever happened.

Not to be a downer, but a lot of that stuff is the same as it's always been, and the stuff that's new isn't really explained well.

Ooh, that sounds interesting. I really need to get Brotherhood.

Now that you mention it, there does seem to be a shortage of well-modeled women in the game. Especially in AC2.

I was thinking like an actual porno, complete with lines like, "My latest list of targets is all of the most beautiful women in all of Italia. Normally, I stab my targets with my 8-inch hidden blade. These targets will be stabbed with something longer... And harder... And when I'm finished with them, who's to say…

This raises the question of why no one's done an Assassin's Creed porno yet.

Eagles, specifically.

It really sucks that Kirk Acevedo is too busy and/or expensive ever since Fringe. Nothing against Nolan North since he wouldn't get hired for so many things if he wasn't talented, but Kirk played Jackie perfectly. Nolan had no chance of doing as well as Kirk.

Usually you guys only have five stories tops each day of the weekend, which is understandable because weekeds are slow, but these last two weekends you guys have been posting a ton of stories.

This may well be the manliest article ever on Kotaku.

I had heard about a month or so ago that Arleen wasn't doing the voice, though I didn't realize until DMan304 told me yesterday that it was Tara Strong.

Yeah, I just saw that Resident Evils 4 and Code Veronica X are on Games On Demand. I wish to purchase them, and getting them for free (kind of) would be super special awesome.
