I mean, all things considered, he’s not exactly wrong about this:

I’m sorry, but I dunno how or why something like “blind playthrough” was somehow construed into being a negative connotation. No one correlates the phrase to actual blind people, and neither is the phrase “blind playthrough” or “going in blind” used as a pejorative like “gay” actually was, why is this even a thing?…

No, I’m going to have to side with this just being extra PC. “Blind” as a term for a “first time through, with no previous experience or knowledge” has been a thing for....ever really. It’s not something I most people would confuse with or expect to be an actual blind person.

Choose different words why, exactly, when the dictionary lists 14 other definitions of the word “blind,” none of which involve blind people being discriminated against. Who is running around using blind as a pejorative? Nobody is, that’s who.

For one big issue, in the news it’s going to either being dismissal of someone who actually does have a mental illness or a bit of hyperbole that would likely be taken as an allegation of mental illness. The former is unlikely and the latter impossible in a bit comedy show.

I was really interested to see Jezebel’s take on “The Queen’s Gambit.” I’ve been looking for it for two weeks now. And finally I get...a meditation on wallpaper. I’m extremely disappointed. 

Sunshine is probably my second least favorite Mario platformer (just beating out Lost Levels). There’s a lot of things to like about the game, but every time I find it, there’s another 3 or 4 things that remind me how annoying the game is.

the interrogation scene was incredibly frustrating even for a nolan film. 

My biggest problem with the movie (and I don’t believe I’m alone with this) was sound mixing.  It’s one thing if I can’t follow what’s going on because it’s complicated.  It’s another thing if it’s because the exposition needed was barely audible.  There were plot points that were completely lost to me because I had…

Plenty of detail and thought went into the story. I’d say it clearly took more planning than the first game’s story. I get that people have problems with where they took characters in the game, but the idea that the story wasn’t well thought out is just negative hyperbole.

“Eyes are one of those things that are immediately immersion breaking — if something’s off, you’ll notice it, and you’ll never be able to unsee it.”

As Darthviper 107 mentioned, the face of Abby was not Laura Bailey, it was Jocelyn Mettler a former Naughty Dog employee. Her body was modeled after Colleen Fotsch.

Yeah. Kotaku writers need to load this site without an adblock before making any comments how any other service does ads.. Or whether it fucking sucks or not.

Is life really that bad for you kids? So much gloom and negativity. I’d hate to see what you would be like if you had to live through REALLY bad times. Like the depression, or World War II. Or waiting to see if you would be drafted and sent to Vietnam.

Being able to put hats on the dinos and making Joel wear it as well as climbing on the t-rex outside was so ridiculously entertaining to me. 

Some of the best banter in the game is in this scene, and the writing for Ellie is superb. If you expected jokes to be cracked at Joel’s expense (and how fitting they are), they are here and it is an incredible moment of levity in between the Seattle chaos. This scene reaffirmed how much Joel cares for Ellie as his…

If you told me that footage was from an xbox 360 halo game I would have believed you, and then yawned.

Exactly. Pulaski was considered an asshole because she acted like an asshole all the time. Had nothing to do with gender.

But Crusher challenged Picard ALL the time. She just wasn’t an abrasive ass like Pulaski usually was about it. 

You’re . . . not entirely wrong. But you’re also not right. Pulaski did not go down well with the audience, but in this case, it wasn’t her gender which made her so grating. It was that she bullied Data, who was essentially the audience favorite character. And it’s actually worse by contemporary standards, because the…
