Since this is a meaningless (but fun!) exercise, and since the next generation MS & Sony (but probably NOT Nintendo) console generation will feature some streaming games at some point in their life-cycle, how about nBox, as in the next console will be the Xbox 3, 4, 5... and also a play on inbox, as in log in to see…

Since this is a meaningless exercise, anyway, and since it's likely we'll see some sort of game streaming at some point in the next MS & Sony (but most likely NOT Nintendo) console life-cycle, how about nBox, as in the next console is the Xbox 3, 4, 5..., as well as punning on in-box, as in turn it on and see what new…

I hope he didn't get any clarity on her dress...

I get what you're saying, that, for instance Rothfuss happily occupies a genre ghetto where his (highly enjoyable) stories refuse to interact with and comment upon our world, but are you including Pullman? Because I felt like His Dark Materials was only children's literature in the sense that it invited children to…

So that's what Xbox8 means...

He looks about three beers away from an appearance in 'Meet the Feebles'. Luckily, they serve beer at Chuck E. Cheese.

I remain cautiously optimistic that Totilo et al. know there are some problems with how the new system is playing out at Kotaku and will at least attempt to address what concerns they can. I bring up these issues so that they are on the table during those discussions. Having been through this before, it's not…

In a 'funny how you just killed me for doing what it seemed like I should do' ha-ha sort of way... Limbo is comedy for fans of knee slappers like the original Super Mario Bros. 2 (SMB: The Lost Levels, I think it's called?). Personally, I chuckled through the Platformance games, so I see where Kirk is coming from.

I guess, as with anything, there is a de facto incentive structure that results from the new system. To an extent, that's conscious. I just hope that the kind of comment that Kinja encourages is to the staff's liking, because I believe the intentions are good. Or that the system is capable of being tweaked if it turns…

I do have one comment, having some small experience with Kinja under my belt. As with this article, I am early to the table. There's one comment showing, and it's not a great conversation starter. The problem I ran into was that I posted a couple of long, (I hope!) thoughtful comments, that by the time they were…

I agree with St. John, to a point, but for me it's about the quality of the voice work, although I agree there is a fairness issue. I think the fairness issue could probably be resolved by flattening the pay somewhat between the rank-and-file and celebrity voices, which would make VA jobs less attractive for…

I don't think Legend of Korra is perfect, but then neither was Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar was great, but it suffered from pacing problems too, namely that there were too many episodes. Korra had the opposite problem, to a greater degree. One of the many, many things I loved about the original series was that…

So just why isn't Lars von Trier directing Thor 2? In which Jane Foster is dragged through the rotted twisted roots of Yggdrasil and then separates Thor from his... hammer.

I still like Beta Text, Water Cooler does make sense, and though I don't think it'll take, I'll throw it out there... The Sausage, as in 'how the sausage gets made'. Anyway, just throwing my Sausage into the ring.

I feel about the same way as I do about The Pale King, the posthumous, unfinished David Foster Wallace novel. It's not like a lot of casual or non-fans are going to pick these things up and form their opinion of the artist, but for true fans and scholars, it's edifying to see what ideas these artists were wrestling…

Awesome. Thanks for the update.

Are we really losing our comment history, or is this temporary?

I kind of agree with both Jason and Stephen. I think 3D is a fine feature, and I think Nintendo will continue to use it in sometimes exciting ways. I don't think they'll stop featuring 3D prominently in their games. But 3D as a focus for Nintendo's marketing energy was going nowhere, the focus should and will be on…

I'm not 'going anywhere', either. As much as I have enjoyed reading and making comments, the days when I did that frequently have been over for some time now. Gawker likes to burn bridges from time to time, meh. But I still like Kotaku for its reporting, its opinions, its many varied voices. I don't know if our…

Meredith's a waterbender... and, and... a bloodbender... and, and... Tarlok's brother!
