Bear in mind that Jessica Valenti is a long standing, prolific, and outspoken writer on feminist issues, and is on the Twitter radar of all the worst people. If a less famous person were to tweet the same question, they would not get such an outpouring of rage and idiocy, and if Ms. Valenti were to tweet something as…

Once when I was playing the firefighter-in-Iraq level, I was wandering the ancient catacombs with a low sanity level and was suddenly startled by the sound of a phone ringing. It was so bizarre and out of place there, it really creeped me out.

I'm glad you refer to it simply as a "fake news site" because what it does is nowhere close to parody or satire.

when I saw what that quest would entail, I skipped to the wiki to see what the reward would be: An amulet that I could basically enchant myself. No thanks, buddy.

I've never played Oblivion, but Skyrim definitely inspires bad behavior. The faction quests range from morally gray to downright evil, the civil war quests tear the country apart, and the daedric quests are, well, assisting the daedra. If you play morally you only experience a fraction of the game!

So, like, if Kotaku had one gay writer, you would refuse to read it?

Same thing happened to me— I had been trying to romance Leliana (I failed in the end) and just in the course of being polite to Zevran I accidentally fell into bed with him. I reloaded (I really wasn't a fan of his), but apparently the romance flag had been set anyway, because near the end Morrigan made a reference to…

This last weekend was my third or fourth time as platonic-date-to-a-wedding-at-which-I-know-no-one-but-my-friend. I think I'm pretty good at it; my friend/date (sister of the bride) told me I charmed the pants off her family. Maybe it's time to monetize this? Granted, it's much easier than being a bridesmaid since all…

I don't recall Michigan J. Frog ever using the word "motherfucker."

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if nothing we saw in the trailer actually makes it into a game… This struck me as all conceptualizing and trying out the fancy new hardware and software to make test Mass Effect assets.

I had forgotten that little bit of foreshadowing with Songbird's eye cracking under the pressure.

So happy to help!

McGibbslap is right, it was Spin Doctor! I used to play this on my old Power Mac 7300AV.

Actually a little-known fact about Skyrim is that the player races are all around 1 foot tall.

When I saw the winner I thought it must be referring to some current event or meme I was unaware of, because certainly it couldn't have just won for featuring boobs. I'm sorry to see it did just win for featuring boobs.

What? The new Strider for Half Life 3 just feels right??

She's getting a lot of nominations for her lead role in "Short Term 12," but not an Oscar nomination.

I have had the same experience and I think it's a good thing. She's kind of a chameleon so when she's in a role, you see her character, not the actress playing the character. When I saw her in a guest spot as nerdy coat check girl on Community last year, I thought "she's familiar, who is she?" and was shocked to find…

IMHO the world needs more Brie Larson. I have the sneaking suspicion that she's even cooler than Jennifer Lawrence but you'd have to get to know her to realize it.

Loved that movie! Saw it in theaters as a kid and it really did a number on me. I think I was sketching that robot in the margins of my school notes for months.
