Here's my personal list:
1. Kaz Miller - He's not Big Boss, he's not Rambo, but a true comrade-in-arms. If I'd be a secret agent doing an infiltration mission, I'd call Kaz to give me advice via codec.
2. The Boss - Because MGS3's ending made me shed tears. Amazing character.
3. Ocelot - Favorite antagonist.
4. Otacon -…

Maybe they will go in to how complex the whole French Revolution was, from France emptying their coffers supporting USA in the American Revolution to spite England, La Fayette serving in said war and bringing back home ideals of Freedom, Unity and Brotherhood to opportunists like Robbespierre and the brief atheist…

Buy it, Bob. Buy it like you'd never have bought anything before.

Yepp, this is very true. It seems though that the Finnish air force adopted the symbol because the Swedish Count Eric von Rosen gave the Finnish air force a plane with swastika as a symbol on the side.

Even if I love Shogun 2 and Rome 1, my favorite will always be Medieval II - it taught me the greatest lesson in life: Never trust Venice. Ever.
Poor Hungary had to start anew in Scandinavia... /gamenostalgia

Exactly. I LOVE MGS, but I got a 360 because at the time it had more games that interested me. Only last week could I play MGS4 because I bought a cheap used PS3 and that's just how it is - I can't play every game I want unless I buy every console. I'd understand if we'd talk about a PS-exclusive jrpg going to Xbox…

It seems...he actually was.
Damnit Ms, you are like abusive husband who beats your wife who just doesn't have the guts to leave you :(
I who wanted a reason to like the Xbone...

Well...
I'll probably only get one platform (read: if I buy a 2nd one, it will be after 5+ yrs like I did last gen) and this could sway me to the MS side. Then again, I play both Western and Japanese RPGs, multiplats and even shooters, so I'm not part of the hardcore JRPG audience. I understand tho why some have…

Okay, who hired Hideo Kojima to write the script? (No, I love that premise!)
In Sniper Elite 6, the main character has succumbed to alcoholism - his mentor's (real father's) Death still haunting him. The Cold War has just ended with the fall of Soviet Union and our Sniper has no place to go but aid local insurgents…

I was surprised more haven't mentioned that. First thing I noticed after seeing his new green hair was what seemed to be tears. It's okay, Washington, it's okay. We have all been there.

Sadly, no. Only thing I associate it with is the Western - much more negative - use. Like I said to another commenter I don't know everything about Otaku culture and that I try my best to understand cultural differences - Having had an American gf, I have been scolded for using term or told jokes considered…

I'm not so much into Otaku culture that I'd know that (even if I could guess this was so) but it doesn't make it to me personally any less cringeworthy, considering the negative connotations it has here in the West. I try my best to accept cultural differences - you'd be surprised how things considered unoffensive in…

This is kinda off topic, but is it "too late" to buy a PS3? Went the last gen with Wii and 360, but I'd want to check out all the awesome JRPG's I didn't have a chance to play!

Well, at least his wishes got fullfilled.
The next Jack Bauer is in the house!

Even if I loved the anime (especially when *SPOILERS* the Japanese goverment used Otaku culture to take over the society) but, there was one joke that made me cringe so hard. In one of the earlier episodes, the children are taught the phrase "male trap". My thoughts wen immediately from "Huh? I must have misread…

Leo's videos are one of the best things on Kotaku. And I love Leo's voice - it kinda has a hidden sadness/brooding madness behind it. It's perfect <3

Thank you, thank you so much for sharing this magnificent dub, I laughed non-stop through it (and then shared it to my friends to ruin any possible serious mood they were in)!

I'd rather save my laptop and ol' 360 Fat than my Wii U...probably because my 360 is unplugged in a nice big box with around 20 games and my relatively new Wii U has only a couple and I don't think I'd have proper time to unplug it.

Swedish, as far as I know. Having two offices in Sweden seems like an indicator to that, too.
