Shout out to Ikumi Nakamura, who single-handedly saved the Bethesda conference from being the single worst E3 conference of all time.

Is anyone else getting absolutely hammered by ads on the Kotaku site? Autoplay videos where the pause button takes you to the ad website (this is I-will-leave-you-forever grounds, Kotaku, and no amount of Tim Rogers will stop me), banners for E3 deals taking up the entire top half of the screen, and ads between…

In the world of technology you don’t want to wait till the last minute to upload something or make changes as you never know what bug or corrupted data may occur. They were prepared ahead of time but their site security wasn’t up to snuff.

*To the tune of the Game of Thrones theme*

Gotta say I watched all of their community updates for Divinity 2 and everyone at Larian seems like a really good person to work with. Of course, it’s just edited snippets but I really respect Larian.

Huh... That armor’s actually... pretty realistic (with a few quibbles)

1) He SHOULD be wearing a gorget to protect his throat, but that could interfere with his voice, so that could possibly slide

2) His lack of faulds and tassets is especially glaring. He has absolutely nothing protecting his... uhm... waist region.

3)…

This is unfortunate but not surprising. The way the hosts were handling the situation seems pretty typical for the Japanese. Culturally this is kind of normal from my understanding, it’s up there with things like fan service in anime, which tends towards sexualizing young or youngish girls.  That and the Japanese tend…

Stellar and nuanced recap, Brian. Thank you!

Actually, it sounds like you aren't taking it seriously enough.

Gotta agree: the handling on this particular segment was terrible, and as much as I’m certain the hosts intended it to be a step forward for women working in the sex industry, the fact that they tried to shut Yuzuki down on several occasions (and “you sure talk a lot” is just the polite way of saying “women are…

Other peeps are saying save Dragon’s Keep. I will say if you can save it. But playing everything back to back like that goes really long. And on top of that the Captain Scarlet DLC, & Hammerlock DLC are kind of not great by Borderlands standards. I enjoyed Torgue DLC, but the humour of Torgue himself appeals to my…

The DLC is supposed to be free, yes. At least as far as we know.

Nothing ever came from them. I wouldn’t use the worked “debunked” as it’s not clear that the allegations are untrue. But since Chloe wouldn’t actually support her allegations, despite claims she had proof, ultimately nothing happened. However, OTOH, he did have people come out and support him.

There’s been a number, although most aren’t hugely prominent. Perhaps the most prominent is Catwoman, who has been canonically bisexual for several years. In addition there’s Renee Montoya, the second Question, who was Batwoman’s girlfriend for a while. Obsidian, the old Infinity Inc character, and son of he Golden…

I’m just here for the girdle of masculinity/femininity.

Honestly, this is the best gaming news I’ve heard all year. So excited!

They lit have been communicating with their fans. To the point of asking for a nicer tone from them. its one thing if you don’t like their direction. But don’t take it personally if devs don’t come to your door invite you to dinner and give you the keys to their company.

There has been plenty of reach out. They have…

You know, that reminds me. I always wanted to see a Fallout game set in China. Or really, anywhere that’s not America. Just to see what things are like in the rest of the world. 

As a healer I’m excited. Not only do I now only have like, one DoT and Broil spam to worry about, my healing abilities as Scholar got increased. I raid and play to fill the health boxes, so I don’t really mind how I do it, I just like doing it! 

This sounds smart. The competitive scene can be very stringent and prickly about its rules (which fair they’ve done this on their own for a long time), but not the most welcoming for casual people.
