Kotaku hasn’t been “that site” in years. All the people who ever did the kind of investigative journalism that pissed off publishers and developers are gone, and they clearly have no interest in continuing to be that site based on their recent output. So if we’re not getting that Kotaku back, you’d think Patricia…

Sure. And you can hold your breath for me to stop complaining about Kotaku’s sloppy reporting. Let’s see who passes out first.

You haven’t seen Kotaku mention it because they only added it to the original article as an update rather than writing a new article about it too. Most people of course just skipped that because they thought they’d already seen the story.

Luke, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Jason’s reporting deserves more than a tiny blurb at the bottom of this article, and you shouldn’t even be quoting Taylor at this point. You of all people know the significance of Jason’s article on this story and what it means for Taylor’s original statements. Please stop amplifying…

Really.

No, I think you’re kissing the ring because of your way-overboard hostility. You call me “unnecessarily antagonistic” and you come at me that way? What, someone dares to question Kotaku’s choice of article and that’s all it takes to get your little fee-fees hurt to this extent? Has it occurred to you when you behave…

You see no qualitative difference at all between doing their own reporting and just repackaging the reporting of other sites?

Kotaku used to have a strong voice of its own; I miss that.

Lol, sure thing man. Don’t know why you’re so eager to kiss the ring, but your whiny insults are utterly meaningless to me.

He can get in line behind Radiohead and the amazing theme they did for Spectre that didn’t get used.

But AVC did? Despite being part of the same company?

Another famous Kotaku review of other people’s reviews. Pretty hilarious that G/O’s own movies and TV site reviewed the game before Kotaku did, and you’re reporting on your own non-gaming-focused sister site’s review. They somehow got to the game before you guys did? What is this site anymore?

Boy did your comment ever age like milk.

You guys might want to update this story given Bloomberg’s reporting on it today and the brand new light it sheds on it.

Amendment: The story hadn’t been bumped to the top of the Latest tab when I wrote my comment, but now it has. That’s good, but I still think an Update isn’t really enough because it’s too easy for people who already read the story to skim over.

Admittedly I still read the site using the old digest format, but even with that being the case, I still don’t consider “[UPDATE]” on a story most people’s eyes will roll right over because they assume they’ve already read that story to be an adequate reporting of this story.

So that’s it, Patricia? You guys are really just going to post a quickie update to the original story, already buried off your front page, in response to the revelation by your old buddy Jason that Hellena Taylor’s claims were basically one big lie of omission? I thought G/O wanted more excuses to post clickable…

The soundtrack was honestly what stuck with me the most about it at the time, from the Type O Negative cover of Summer Breeze to the original Leadbelly Where Did You Sleep Last Night to the Kula Shaker song over the end credits, it was such a peak 90s song mix.

It’s still so hard for me to reconcile that Jack’s spoken parts and musical parts were performed by different men (Chris Sarandon and Elfman). They sound so much like they could be the same voice.

I don’t think it would require people to be stupid to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of average people to whom this stuff is confusing as hell.

The novel on which A Christmas Story was based has a reminiscing adult Ralphie as a framing device for all the little story vignettes, so in a way it’s like going back to the source material, if that’s what they do.
