No it doesnt. They have new leadership. Of course there are going to do changes. The head of MS is brand new. The head of Xbox is brand new. Of course they are going to make changes. All these things were done with the old guard.

The Lightning Bolt is the rock to the Super Horn's scissors, but the Super Horn is the scissors to the Blue Shell's paper. The problem is nobody has ever lost a blue shell from a lightning bolt because the second you get one, you launch it. The lightning bolt is like when parents or teachers would take away fun things…

I really, really, really hate that lightning bolts strip you of your item in MK8.

I see a ton of people arguing for coins, but the problem most people have with them is that they're in the boxes. I love them being on the track and their purpose, but I absolutely hate being on the last lap and just need any item to strategically protect myself or make my way into first, and instead I just pull coins…

not true at all. Squid Ink gives you zero advantage and has basically no effect on anyone that's played a track more than once.

Not just your default view of things, sir. It is the very basis upon which the justice system is predicated: innocent until proven guilty.

If his concern wasn't for the public, then why is he addressing the public in a blog post?

You didn't say it was unreasonable, but you did describe it as "not cool", "kind of gross", and all around portrayed it as if he is doing something wrong or unreasonable, with one of your paragraphs coming close to mocking him as if he is indeed doing something unreasonable. I will quote:

I agree in that I think he cares about being accused, and he cares that he might have hurt someone, but I don't know that he understands how to approach that. Rape as a subject is probably so far out of his frame of understanding.

In what world was he REQUIRED to start a larger conversation? It's a personal matter, and he says it is painful to him, so not wanting to open up the floor to a greater debate is pretty understandable.

This is complete bullshit. If he didn't rape someone, he should absolutely defend himself. People are raped and it's horrible, but people are also falsely accused and that's also an injustice. These things come down to pure "he said, she said" and that's what makes them so difficult, but an innocent person…

I'm much happier having all of bowser's other kids over just having bowser jr.

Super Mario Kart. It set the stage for every subsequent game, and it got the battle mode just right.

Rainbow Roads ranked:

I'd say there's a lot involved in framing up the shot... anyone who thinks it's just framing a shot doesn't understand how hard it is to get some of those angles. This article has an inside look at some nice shots: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/08/gol… You frame the shot, you tweak the lighting, fog,…

4 million more than people dumb enough to buy an Xbox 720p 9mil>5mil

Oh, it's a video post which doesn't bother to break it down. Been seeing a lot of those lately.

This raises an interesting question: are Kotaku writers under an article quota?

An object that light and that blunt flew out of someone's hand with enough force to puncture dry wall and stick? That cleanly too? I think I'll classify it under fake. If it is somehow real though, that's damn impressive.
