I was fairly lukewarm on the novel, but I'm all for this. Spielberg's a good ... and somewhat meta given the subject matter ... choice to bring this to the big screen.

Why don't you make like a tree, and get out of here.

I understand your point, and largely agree. But I honestly don't think most of Kotaku's regular readership believe Jason or any of the other writers are personally biased against one company or another. These are people who write about their hobby, not politics or religion or sports teams or something else so…

Hey, even if you hadn't previously written about Destiny's DLC exclusivity, I think it's nonsense that people call you out on it. Who the fuck cares if you wrote about it when Sony pulled the same dumb bullshit with Destiny? This article isn't specifically about Microsoft or EA or Sony; it's about how the practice is…

I'm freaking out. I want this so much. I played the shit out of this game.

When I was very young ... nine or ten, maybe ... I wrote a short story about killer cows terrorizing a countryside. It was fairly terrible, as you can imagine. But I like to think young Adam Armour was being insightful for once.

I work for a small town newspaper, and I can't tell you how many third grade "graduation" ceremonies I've covered. Guess what, kids. You don't graduate the third grade.

These are all great. Very inspirational.

He really does make it seem easy. His writing is beautiful and intelligent, yet completely free of pretentiousness. It's like magic.

Indeed, Squirrelbot. My comment was meant for the Atomic Robot. Der dee der der ... comment sections are confusing.

It also has the dubious honor of being the Mission: Impossible movie that least resembles Mission: Impossible.

I dearly love all of the Mission:Impossible movies (well, not two. Two hasn't aged very well). Neatest to me is that each movie is really, really different than any that preceded it. It's a rare Hollywood franchise that doesn't seem to be simply churning out cookie cutter sequels.

That's definitely true. There's a notable difference in sales when I'm promoting and when I'm not promoting. Things will pick up when I finally ... finally ... finish a followup novel. But it's all slow going.

I'll tell you the best thing about self-publishing: the community. Self-published writers are so supportive…

Oh, and I have to plug my own self-pubbed novel, "Strange Beasts in a Small Town." I like to think of it as a daikaiju movie by way of Garrison Keillor (or, more accurately, TR Pearson, but fewer people recognize his name).

Also, I'm really terrible at self-promotion. Typing that stuff up there was like pulling teeth.…

Hey, that works for me. I'll pick up a copy.

Your novels seem intriguing. Time to check 'em out.

All of The Raid 2.

Where Darth Vader screamed "Noooooooooooo?" That part was awful.

Spoiler alert.

Yeah, my favorite thing about the prequels is the way Palpatine orchestrated everything, and how the good guys of this trilogy eventually became the bad guys of the next. Very cool.
