Man the game was great but I just don’t really see the hype it gets honestly, if this was a game without the zelda name I doubt it would get this much hype

My favorite moment was when one of Billy’s henchmen expresses an entirely sane opinion hinting that maybe Steve Wiebe isn’t evil incarnate and perhaps this whole Donkey Kong thing has gotten blown out of proportion, and Billy gives him the ultimate death stare.

I show King of Kong to my Spec Ed English classes to illustrate how a good storyteller can make you care about any topic. They get so wrapped up in it and are always a bit let down to see some random dude holds the title now

I interviewed w/ IGN many moons ago, and one of the things I was told by the then EIC/Office Head (not Butts at the time) was that what he loved most about working at IGN was he got to “work with all my friends”. Struck me as an odd thing to reveal, but it was honest.

Palpatine had the most badass villain of all time kneeling to him as a setup, and then spent an entire movie chewing the shit out of every piece of scenery. And let’s not forget that Palpatine’s death is awesome because it’s the end of Vader’s arc. This is the middle(?) or Kylo’s arc, a person we’ve seen fail at…

I think you are off by a factor of 100. It is 1 one hundredths of a percent:

“Somebody backed up into the little autono-bus and the bus’ computer brain couldn’t sufficiently think to back up out of the way” Yeah, and about 99% of humans wouldn’t have either. If anything, they probably would have floored it and run over a pedestrian behind them, or would have gotten their gas and brake confused…

It saddens me everytime I see someone reminisce about Phantasy Star (the old series). why has it died? it was a mix of final Fantasy and mass effect with a deep Story about many topics like prejudice (ps2) , traveling to different Planets, beautiful artwork, funny Dialoge (ps4), philosophical theme about what if God…

PS2 was the best of the Phantasy stars. It was FF7, 6 years before FF7.

Also, it must be mentioned that, for all the love heaped on Final Fantasy VII’s “shocking twist” of a permanent character death, Phantasy Star II did it first with Nei.

Never did I think I’d see a huge Mother Brain display from Phantasy Star II on front page of Kotaku. How nice! I was maybe 4 or 5 yo when I first played these games and english isnt my first language so it was a tough game to get through at first, but it fascinated me. I came back to it every years after, my english…

Skies of Arcadia without question. It’s the most fascinating game world I’ve ever encountered.

“Neither of us was sure it was illegal, so we went and did it anyway without any confirmation!”

Unfortunately this is par for the course.

Good on the second place finisher. Bad on whoever made this dumb rule.

Man, Microsoft really needs to bring back 1 vs 100. That was such a fun game and a very similar experience. I think it was pretty damn far ahead of it’s time!

Social Media is part of his career. He makes a living at this, and he and other smashers supplement that income with Twitch and Youtube. Zero’s got sponsors who support him because he’s involved with various media. He’s taken a few long breaks for his own sanity, but what does he have to go to when age sets in and his…

After Schwarber’s K in the 5th, Strasburg had 8 strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at Steiner, and you look at Brock Lesnar and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But Big Poppa Pump is a genetic freak and he is NOT normal! So Lesnar has a…
