The Hobbit cost more than Avatar? I was pretty underwhelmed by the special effects in the Hobbit. There were a lot of moments where I was like "that doesn't look quite right", and I thought everything had an inappropriate level of cartooniness. Avatar had me convinced all the way through. Is it maybe because it's…

I wanna get into cosplay and going to conventions. I need more nerdy friends to help me T.T

Is the "I like shorts they are comfy and easy to wear" boy like a running gag in Pokemon? Because I think I remember him from the originals, and I remember seeing a little webcomic making fun of him, and I just ran into a boy in X who says "Ask me why I like wearing shorts in the tall grass! (then after battle)…

But you do "turn it off" a la bicycle. When you switch to the d-pad, you hear a "click" and you can visibly see that the roller skates are removed. Use the circle pad and they automatically click back on. I think it's great - I switch between them all the time and the switch is instantaneous and I don't have to think…

I just played the demo and I was really disappointed. I had no idea what was going on and I didn't understand the controls and the explanations didn't make any sense. At one point I used the big hand to twist a gear to open a big hangar garage door, and then I was supposed to walk through the building... but I…

I'm so excited for this. I wanna play Red/Blue again while I watch it and follow along with the journey. Unfortunately I lost my copy of Red, but I have Yellow. That's pretty much the same game, right? Just with Pikachu following you around, if I remember correctly? Does anybody know?

The music in that video was pretty swingin'. Made me think of "Sing Sing Sing". So glad it's not the "bah bah" music from the NSMB games.

that was fantastic. thanks for sharing.

No. These are the kinds of games adults play.

Yikes. Ain't for the tots, and ain't for me either. Frankly I have a hard time understanding how that's entertaining for anyone.

I haven't played the game so I can't judge its artistic merit, but just off the cuff I'm thinking you don't need to play a game to learn that shooting up an airport full of innocent civilians is disgusting. That disgust is sort of innate in the human conscience - sociopaths excluded. Why is it a beneficial exercise to…

Wow knee-jerk reaction. You're acting like I'm calling for censorship here.

Yeah I don't view this as a simple "freedom" issue. Parents have a social responsibility to raise their kids reasonably.

I was around. Just wasn't interested. lol.

Christ that was hard to watch. Not the video, the COD footage. A quicktime event where you mash L+R to choke a man to death? Shooting up innocent civilian families at an airport? And these are the games that kids are playing these days? I knew they were violent but I didn't know they were downright disturbing. I'm…

Thanks! But I probably shouldn't being using an anonymous Burner account if I wanted my comment to be featured... oh well :/

Dislike. If I'm already mashing together Disney properties in nonsensical ways, making Buzz Lightyear battle Aladdin, I'm not concerned with the visual cohesiveness of the game as a whole.

I think it's an unprecedented amount of advertising, even for a free service, and it really surprised me. Kotaku is free but your browsing experience isn't interrupted every minute to show a fullscreen commercial. I'm fine with advertising in general, it's just that the culture of advertising on iOS has changed a…

Yeah I would hope so. It's just that last time I played games on my iPhone (like 3-4 years ago), the free games generally just had little banner ads. The interrupting full-screen commercials are new, and it seems like big companies (EA, Sega, Disney, etc) have perfected the science of earning endless revenue from…
