am I in before all the “Good” and “Florida should be a state of emergency all the time” and everything else?

You seem like someone who’s unfamiliar with both the Kleins and Matt Hoss. It’s as if you wrote this article because it’s one of the bigger stories on Reddit, YouTube, Twitter and other websites around the net and you know it’ll get you some hits because it has H3H3 winning their lawsuit in it.

My imagination of a Kotaku RPG podcast:
Final fantasy 12 remake, “was this game this good? I thought it was garbage”
Final fantasy 14 stormblood, “has a subscription requirement so its garbage”
Mass effect, “Garbage”
Zelda Breath of the wild “Made by Nintendo so its golden platinum unicorn.”
Destiny 2, “Not ported to the…

“Men are trash” is simply not the same thing as sexist attacks on women, because you don’t face the systemic oppression that makes sexist slurs so toxic

If you went by Snarkesian’s logic then women in every game would have to be flawless characters. They can’t die, they can’t have anything bad happen to them, they can’t be helped or aided. It’s ridiculous.

So you had to Google the answer, boo fucking hoo. I didn’t have the slightest clue what the answer was either, but I didn’t mind looking it up and learning a bit of foreign trivia in the process. How exactly does getting asked a dumb trivia question that’s not in your spectrum of knowledge hurt the experience? It’s a…

Yeah, I always wondered how much better Thor would have been if a real Scandinavian like Dolph Lundgren had been cast instead of that Australian dude. I could just tell that Thor didn’t have that special relationship with darkness and the snow that I expected.

What a fal’cie pulse l’cie cieth opinion you got there. FFXIII had by far the most annoying cutscenes ever, in the form of this mommy’s boy Hope. The story was okay but in no way fantastic. Gameplay was good but not impressive.

Come on, there’s a vast gulf between the Clinton Foundation and Trump’s Foundation and business.

That’s pretty much the exact explanation given by one of the screenwriters. It boiled down to ‘who are we set to offend the least with this casting?’

Actually, it’s about gender identity ethics in Pokemon Go.

Remember when Kotaku, and Nathan Grayson and Patricia Hernandez in particular, laughed off the need for disclosure?

Then maybe the editors of Gawker should’ve thought better before outing people as gay and putting private videos of people having sex on their website up for everyone to see. You can’t treat them as innocent in this, and if the bankruptcy ends with hundreds of people on the street then the blame is on the editors who…

Yeah, sorry, not taking a stand on right or wrong RE the Hogan suit in this post, but it has nothing to do with freedom of the press. I'd be very sad if I lost I09, especially to something so ridiculous, but calling it a freedom of the press violation is a bit beyond reasonable (not to mention simply incorrect).

I don’t know if Richard will get to your question or not (hopefully!), but I lived in Japan for 3 years (just left in September of last year). Even though I’m American and grew up in America, I feel like in some ways I’m still experiencing reverse culture shock after that 3 years. Here’s my perspective:

No disrespect taken, I assure you :) I’m not angry or rage...y? about any of this - not toward you, not toward him. It does bother me that io9 has sunk deeper and deeper into the “Gawkerization” by hiring people like him, because it used to be better. Writers used to tell the truth more, and used to not write such…

Because it’s easy. And because Germain is a hack who deserves to be called out on things like that. I quote “massive success” because those were his exact words used to describe Batman v Superman weeks after it came out. As it was failing. It had just, if memory serves, crossed $800M worldwide, and was projected to…

and then rebooted with Mary Poppins V Amelia Bedelia.

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Except that’s not what this is at all. This is the echo chamber and outrage culture of the internet collapsing in on itself like a super nova. This is a fucking comic book, it will be retconned and the world will keep spinning. If anyone would take a second and actually read, they already said that this is the cap…
