Rahne’s the latest woman to die so that a male character has the motivation to go out and keep living,

“But, as Reed Puc accurately points out over at Comics Beat,”

Hey, thanks for writing this, Charles. You nailed it. 

Oh, simmer down. It’s not ‘hatred towards criticism’. It’s a comment on a blog. Feel free to keep taking this way more seriously than it needs to be.

I think the problem I have with the “it wasn’t earned” claim is the implicit assertion that because it wasn’t earned (which is true), it shouldn’t have been there (which is not). Plus, the claim that it was deliberately a “look how woke we are” moment rather than a “we haven’t been as woke as we should have been,…

The phrase ‘let people enjoy things’ also includes women. Weird, right?

Yeah, I thought the scene was a little on-the-nose as it unfolded, but then I quickly realized that it wasn’t for me in the first place. There was a tween girl a few seats down from me who yelped and excitedly clapped, and that’s awesome. I don’t give a shit about whether or not it was “earned.”

Excuse me, princess!

I absolutely love Kamail. “I paid for this experience” indeed.

It’s sad, because I still see the “games are the new movies” mentality crop up, but it usually seems to come from game devs who really wish they were making movies instead. So they’re gonna put out “interactive stories” that are barely a game, tack on some quick time events, and call it a day.

While 9 characters is a pitifully small roster (unless you are in the SNES/Genesis era), everything looks small now compared to Smash Ultimate.

I wish I knew the answer, and I hope Nintendo remains motivated to publish such games. You seldom see much public clamor for these games. Here on Kotaku, traffic for stories about them is usually mediocre to bad (this BoxBoy review, for example, is drawing very few readers... oh well!).

Hey Stephen, what do you think makes a successful 2nd party eShop title (like this, Pushmo and Dillon’s Rolling Western) but keeps other titles (like Harmoknight) back? Was it because there was a gameplay mechanic to expand on? Or is it totally based on sales? What is the balance?

The show is dark and full of errors? Ehh????

Man the definition of “hipster” keeps getting broader by the minute.  Soon we’ll be using it to describe breathing.

Wow, amazing catch.

Plus, Arya pulled the same dagger trick she did when she sparred with Brienne to get NK. I loved that.

“White Walkers HATE her! This one neat dagger trick will end the Long Night”

I love how this flies in the face of everything Google is trying to do. Hmmmm, so people want to play games more if they get to actually just download them and play them like normal? YOU DON’T SAY.

Orci shot his career in the foot with the “9/11 was an inside job, kids!” conspiracy-mongering. His future is probably on InfoWars.
