I'm guessing that some people declined to listen to the track (I often don't play you tube videos that involve music unless I'm able to listen on headphones. Without listening to the track, it's hard to read the sarcasm. I thought the tone of the article was hyperbolic, but not necessarily insincere, until I clicked…

Agreed. And not from Epic, either. See also: Bungle, Mr.

I would play the ever-loving shit out of a Buddy Holly track pack. I love Roy Orbison, but I could never sing one of his ballads (due to degree of difficulty). This particular song is from the period between 50's rock and roll and the rise of psychedelia, but I think there's room for 'Run to the Hills' and 'Runaway'…

This was the first I'd heard of PAA:OTR-SPOD:E3, too. I clicked the link back to the original article, and seeing Crecente's by-line gave me the feeling of running into an old girlfriend.

This is absolutely budget driven, but it seems like the perfect compromise. Breath of Death VII was awesome, I haven't played the Cthulu game yet but just the fact that they made a game about Cthulu earns Zeboyd tons of geek cred. Penny Arcade working with Zeboyd adds to their enormous horde of existing PA indie/geek…

Thanks, Kobun, you're a treasure... I regret that I only have one heart to give you. Do you have a blog?

*Fires up Windows on a Mac, cracks knuckles* Let's do this!

Is there some huge overlap between Cronenberg fans and Team Edward? I want to see this, but not because of Pattinson. I would think DeLillo Cronenberg Cosmopolis would be more effective. Also, I'm a little scared I'm going to walk into a theater and see a one-sheet reading Franco Franco Child of God...

I'd say if you cleared up the political influence problem, copyright and patent reform would be much, much easier, so I would go with that.

Why don't all PS3 games do this? I've had a 360 most of this generation, and I can't think of a game the default is to allow up to four players to log in, with achievements. I seriously thought it was me doing something wrong when I first got our PS3. My kids still don't like to play PS3 multiplayer, since their…

I can see how Soderbergh's Solaris could be considered a failure as a remake or an adaptation, but unlike most of the films mentioned, I think it's pretty great anyway, a bleak romantic tragedy about memory and the possibility of bridging the impossible chasm between one person and every other person. I have…

Well... the Android Marketplace requires you to have an Android device registered, an it doesn't recognize the Fire as such, probably by Amazon's design. When I bought my Fire, this wasn't a big deal, as you could download the .apk from a file hosting service and 'sideload' it onto the Fire. And then the Justice…

Unfortunately, Pinball Arcade isn't in the Kindle Fire store or I'd likely be playing Medieval Madness while my son plays ME3 *sadface*. Oh, well... Zen Arcade on 3DS it is, then. Interesting that there's no PHoF branding on Pinball Arcade; I wonder if this could lead, down the road, to original tables from…

I'm making an effort to give Newtaku a chance, and remember, New Coke caused everybody to realize how great the old stuff was, then quickly disappeared. Cautiously optimistic, etc. Btw, do you know when The Pinball Arcade comes out for consoles (speaking of cautiously optimistic)?

With a little dedication, a Kinect and lots of lube, there's no reason we can't have both!

I also liked that you could see who had taken the time to make the nomination, as well. But regardless, I think it's great that Kotaknew is bringing back a comment of the week, in whatever form. To me, it symbolizes a rededication of the big K to its community. I don't ask for everything old to be new again (sniff,…

Ahem.

I think one of the reasons Ebert's stance on video games as art is so infallibly frustrating every time he expresses it is that he is that a lot of gamers (and maybe especially critics) actually respect the guy, and for good reason. And part of the reason for that is that he seems like the kind of guy who could get…

I had to look up the an hero in question. What a blaze of glory and, and, sadly, truth-telling. Oh, the defensiveness! Oh, the straw men! The thin skin! I've continued to read Kotaku, but I haven't been brave enough to really read comments or participate in the daily discussion threads in a long time. And that used to…

I have this one, I quite like it (I never did like PS controllers). To me, the bat-controller is a bit garish, but if it's Power A, I'd say go for it.
