You might think that this is nitpicking at a story that offends me because I am a journalist and predisposed to finding this kind of story offensive. The problem, however, isn’t just with “The Journalist” but the way its ending brings the central worldview of all of its stories into sharper focus.

The reason Amtrak should exist is pretty simple. Anyone who was alive on September 12, 2001 can tell you that putting all of your long distance travel eggs into one basket is a bad idea. All the planes were grounded, and no one could get where they needed to go without jumping through a lot of hoops.

Brit here. You are the first person ever to commit the phrase ‘British rail has their act together’to print. Never thought to see this in my lifetime. Will be copying this comment to everyone in my address book. And photographing this screen to prove that a real person actually said this.

I recently took Amtrak for the first time returning home from central IL to east TX. It’s an 11-12 hour drive, a 4-6 hour flight with a connection (or a considerably larger ask for a friend on the other end to come pick me up in DFW), and a ~17-hour train ride. The train actually takes me right to the small town I…

I actually used to really enjoy Amtrak along the Northeast Regional line (DC <-> Philly <-> NYC), because the stations are all in the heart of the city, making actual travel time comparable if not faster than getting to-and-from airports and flying.

Considering that last week’s (old) comic showed her in both pre and post transition designs and Kotaku regularly reposts older comics I think it’s fair to say that most readers remember that she used to identify as male. I wouldn’t say it’s important that we remember, though.

The good news is that your favorite President did nothing wrong!

They bolded and italicized the masculine pronouns in reference to the internet mob in the wake of a female gamedev who the internet mob called on to be fired under similar (but not identical) circumstances.

I love this.  One of the producers at Ubisoft actually took to his twitter, screenshotting the above “good” tweet and very bluntly called out those same racist, toxic people to their faces and said they were only in gaming to be bullies. You will note the internet/Reddit mob has yet to demand his head on a pike and…

“Do we want to talk about homophobia?” Cage told the paper. “We work with Ellen Page, who is fighting for LGBT rights. Do we want to talk about racism? We are working with Jesse Williams, who is fighting for civil rights in the United States... Judge my work.”

Remember.. he’s a “business man” (both of those words are debatable).. and as that, the idea of a agency that doesn’t GENERATE A SUBSTANTIAL PROFIT is just wrong.

Kate, I’m going to offer you +10 internets today. You’ve earned that having to review and write about this game. You’re a trooper and deserve a bonus. Tell your boss to take you out for ice cream or a nice coffee or something and throw in a little something, something in the ol’ paycheck. The Kotaku readers have…

I mean objectively you are wrong, but we all have diff opinions.

There’s potentially an alternate version of Grand Theft Auto where you decide not to be a criminal and become an accountant instead, but do you really want to play that?

I wish I had a book that also worked as a response to questions. (Great book too!)

For once I hope your investigation comes up dry, not because I don’t want harassment to be exposed but because I hope there isn’t any there to be exposed (but there definitely is and it makes me really sad just thinking about it).

Uncles second cousin moved to PPC in late ‘80s. His first letter was an ode to the regime in handwriting suspiciously unlike his and then total silence.

The last game already introduced the tech to hook a brain up to a mech, but this installation opens up the possibility of hooking up a head to a super soldier body.

The establishment of this head-in-jar technology and the introduction to “you know who” can only point to a single conclusion about the third game’s final boss and I can’t wait.

Wyatt’s problems are much more...psychedelic in nature.
