Nostalgia, convenience and the utterly irrational attachment Canadians have to anything Canadian. Seriously. We'll complain about our crappy homebrewed companies incessantly amongst ourselves, but the moment they get threatened by Outsiders - particularly Americans - that's when the pitchforks, torches and…

I remember reading somewhere (I'll see if I can find the article) that this casting list is made up of roles that are all open casting - they're actively accepting applications for them and don't have any actors in mind yet. It sounded like the major roles for the season (the Greyjoys, Arianne, maybe a few of the…

I wasn't singling the Nazis out per se, but moreso the tendency towards substituting hyperrealism for plot or character development. The Usual Suspects in the shooter genre are most prominent in this regard, like Call of Duty or Battlefield. And Fallout doesn't really take itself all that seriously. It has strong…

You know, when this game was first announced I was a bit cynical about it - just another grimdark modern shooter with Nazis in it. But watching these last few trailers you get the feeling like the game doesn't take itself too, too seriously, which is nice. Too many games on the market these days mistake hyperrealism…

Coming from someone who evidently can't add up to '100%' properly, that's rich.

I dunno. One would think that Amazon would want to attract people towards buying the console over another Kindle, so they'd want to keep it exclusive to the console. If people could just download it onto their Kindles they'd be removing a big, expensive impetus towards buying the system.

Interesting. Considering that Amazon is putting both its deep pockets and development power behind that new console, they very well might be able to develop a competitive console. IMO, if they can pull off a couple of very good exclusives a la Journey, they might be able to get a fair bit of momentum.

"2.) Any packs of packs of feral dogs you may see are *not* part of the ceremonies. If you see any feral, rabid or otherwise mutated animals circling you or other spectators, please inform your personal FSB minder. Just speak aloud - someone will be listening. A black-panelled van will be along to collect you and…

That was one of the theories that I read about this case (it might have even been here). It was immediately obvious to everyone upon the media peering into the case that the kid was a product of his environment, and that his parents definitely fed into his behaviour and, by proxy, allowed this eventuality to occur.…

Pfft. Monuments that stand for things? What modern nonsense! Monuments are supposed to be a testament to the ego and power of men! They're supposed to be giant stone obelisks and marble colossi meant to immortalize the rulers of man and the immortal gods above! We need a lot less of this touchy-feel-y liberal nonsense…

According to yonder official features page, the following are going to be added;

In the next batch the designers should definitely clear up that sort of miscommunication.

Yeah. 'Fornication' brings to mind lectures by nuns brandishing rulers, not a commitment to not having casual sex.

I'm sure some of Kotaku's commenters from England would be more than happy to mail you some of the water accumulating around their places of residence if you'd like proof.

GAMES FOR THE EVER-EXPANDING THRONE OF GAMES YOU BUY ON STEAM SALES BUT NEVER ACTUALLY PLAY!

Yeah. I mean, jeez. Janky animations, the 13-year-old extras hired to do the voice overs, no gameplay, no information about the game at all... that was really bad.

"In other words, he needs YouTube more than it needs him. He's doing well on YouTube because of his relatively good content, but the fact is his presence on YouTube is more important than his content."

"I never said he had to work for anybody. Why not host his own videos?"

"I never said reviewing games isn't a real job, I'm saying he isn't good enough to have somebody pay him for it"

Absolutely! And not only would they have more content, but the writers and developers would have *so* much more room to innovate and tell their own stories.
