I saw an article on BuzzFeed with reactions from the people who were there, and many were like “what a bummer, why did Oliver have to change the subject/make everyone uncomfortable/forget he was there to discuss the film?” or “this is not the time or the place to put Hoffmann in that situation!” Those are probably the…

Yeah, why would they have the RPG guy review an RPG? Pffft.

I guess this is one of the times that reviewing a game really sucks. 50+ hours in a game you didn’t like. It’s like finishing a 400 page book you can tell is awful by page 25.

Counterpoint: Xenogears on the PS1 is also one of my favorite games of all time. I hated the first Xenoblade as well.

Remember, if you don’t fawn all over a title a particular reader really wants to be good, then you’re biased and incapable of impartial, rational assessment.

I’m with you on being baffled by this evident demand for uniformity across reviews and reviewers. While I definitely make use of Kotaku’s reviews in making…

Well, I’m not sure putting a Xeno-enthusiast to review it is a good thing.

I chose to review it because, as I said in the second paragraph, I was hoping that Takahashi and crew would make something I enjoyed more this time around.

Yeah, get recorded on 3 phones putting hands on someone’s kid at school and spend some time in jail while your kid is still getting bullied, perhaps even more. That’s really thinking this through.

We’re all distraught over this, but don’t dole out spectacularly stupid advice. At the heart of this story is the omnipresence of cameras - and if you think that by storming in and assaulting a child bully at school is going to yield positive results in this day and age (nothing like when your badass mother did it),…

Jo Cox

Cox...her name was Jo Cox.

Am I reading this right? The movie is going to pretend that Nellie Bly actually had amnesia rather than being clever enough that she managed to fool numerous doctors, nurses, judges, police, etc. into thinking she was insane, and that she therefore endured much of her treatment at Blackwell’s Island because she didn’t…

Why the hell are they altering how Bly got into the asylum? IIRC, she pitched the idea to her editor, and he arranged for her to be committed to the asylum while posing as her husband. That was part of the expose - not just the conditions inside, but how easy it was for unscrupulous relatives to have women…

Nellie Bly was awesome. I have a biohraphy of her somewhere that I need to reread. I’m not sure Christina Ricci is the right pick to play her.

I was playing some Rocket League, just bought it yesterday or so. And I KNEW it had microtransactions right? Fair enough with 5$ microsoft gift and on sale I got it for 5$(xbox one).. nice deal, bought a 1$ DLC car.. fair enough.

Anna’s opinions are the only right opinions, on both the racist nature of this otherwise excellent holiday and on pie. Also:

Deregulation decreases cost and increases quality and quantity of service.

How about we just go ahead and get rid of ALL consumer protections then? And worker protections too! Let’s roll back all public utilities. Get rid of the regulation that bans midnight dumping of poison into the waters we and our farm animals and others drink? Regulations reduced acid rain, and smog warnings have…

Either you’re doing a terrible job of trolling, or you’re incredibly stupid.

Yes, because corporations have the public interest at heart. If that were the case, my wages would increase to match inflation. Funny how everything I pay for is adjusted for inflation, but what they pay US isn’t.

Deregulation decreases increases cost and increases decreases quality and quantity of service.
