Wait what's this about TotalBiscut being a harasser? I've watched some of his videos here and there and haven't seen anything that would indicate he's a harasser, to the contrary I've seen some videos with some hideous comments regarding his illness.

“Loose conflagration...”

This is kind of a commentary on the general life cycle of a certain type of celebrity. You see it more blatantly with stand up comedians - Eddie Murphy and Bob Sagat come to mind - where in their early days they make waves by being raunchy and saying the offensive things no one else will say. As they gain popularity…

Let’s be 100% honest here - currently, VR sucks. The games are insanely overpriced and very few of them are any fun. It doesn’t really being much to the table that traditional gaming doesnt already do better and for less money. I find myself using my Gear VR a lot for Netflix and Cinema VR (watching movies on the big…

I didn’t mention specifics for this very reason, but no, he was more than a “bad boss”.

I read Kotaku almost exclusively on my iPhone - I can't remember the last time I noticed an ad.

I was actually thinking of picking this game up since I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Very sad that so many talented people suffered because of one guy.

It doesn’t really matter when you got your PS4, the system has been out for three years, just about. It’s really not Sony’s problem you waited to purchase yours, and the new product doesn’t really affect yours at all since every NEO game is required to have a non NEO mode. If you do decide to upgrade at some point,…

Wasn’t it the Boonta Eve Classic?

I wish there was a PDF of this. This is awesome. I had no idea the Metroid backstory was so rich.

Almost every game that uses a controller config also disables most keyboard and mouse interactions if the controller is plugged in - I know Skyrim and Fallout 4 have this behaviour. I wasn’t aware that was odd...? Is that not normal for most games?

I’m torn, I’ve always been a PlayStation consumer, but Microsoft has been impressing me across their entire product lineup lately. Satya Nadella has been doing a fantastic job of re-focusing Microsoft on the user experience. The Halo 5 XBox was one of the most beautifully designed gaming products I’ve ever seen, and…

This is precisely why I don’t bother with critics in almost any medium. If I’d listened to the critics I would have never gone and watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens, for example. The echo chamber goes a little crazy some times.

But the general consensus was that it wasn’t all that bad. It’s precisely as advertised - a bear simulator. According to everything I’ve seen, it effectively fulfills the title promise. I’m not sure why PewDiePie didn’t like it (I don’t watch his channel so I missed the video before it was taken down) but it seems…

So, the beard is the defining characteristic of this Ryu variant...but long hair is not a defining characteristic of the pictured Chun-Li variant...even though Chun-Li is near-universally depicted with her hair in buns?

George Lucas has repeatedly referred to the Star Wars saga as “Science Fantasy”, which is a wholly different sub-genre than Science Fiction. Dune is science fiction. Star Wars is science fantasy.

I still hold u p Dead Space 2 as a great example of how to do immersive, UI-less design while still balancing action with story.

Also a machine could easily be programmed to prefer efficiency over proper grammar and could calculate the shortest sentences that could still convey their intended meaning yet have maximum understanding.

Maybe...I know this is a crazy proposal...but maybe the game wasn’t designed for you?

People that think “games are too expensive” so they steal them are ridiculous. Try walking into a BMW dealership or a Rolex showroom with that same logic and see how far it gets you. If you can’t afford someones hard made handiwork, guess what? You don’t buy it. You don’t get to steal it then very loudly and…
