He was already quick to offer an apology and like most, it just sounded transparent and disingenuous. I think this is only worse because NASCAR has had a reputation for being a bunch of racist rednecks and this isn’t helping it.  

These bloggers know that though - they know what should go into a headline since most people will ONLY read that and instantly get upset. I think it was dumb of Mike to say it as he did, and ultimately have egg on his face and change it, but they know what they’re doing. This is not the first time Kotaku has gotten…

Clown blogging at its finest to get some clicks. Sometimes Kotaku is trending for all the worst reasons like saying ‘easy mode is too easy’. 

My brother has three kids...easy mode like this is what allows him to get through games in the limited time he has, same for RE2's minigun/rocket launcher stuff. There should be a balance, but what is ‘easy’ enough to not be normal?

Mike, don’t tell me what to do with my money that I earn. You want to take a stance against this, go ahead - there are MUCH more egregious acts of money grabbing in the gaming world and this is far from it.

How many times can you misspell San FRANCISCO? At least two, blogger Zack. 

Yeah, I don’t know if Musk is playing a more dangerous game than Trump and his Trumpanzees’ “Everything is fine, it’ll be perfect - we’ll give some people $1200, and corporations billions and really not take care of anyone who is sick and still charge those who get tested even though I said it ‘should’ be free’ game.

Bold of you to say, “Here’s what you need to know about Animal Crossing’s time travel function.” - I wouldn’t say this is a ‘function’ of Animal Crossing. It’s not cheating, but the game was designed to time travel and include it as a ‘function’.

I’m fortunate enough to work from home with my job, but I know there is no way we’re getting back in to the office on May 1st. I think these dates are more of a “we’ll assess at that time what the next step is”.

This person’s comment a short time ago should be more than enough reason why you shouldn’t waste your time arguing with this parasite. 

What kind of bullshit blogging this that headline?

Serious question - when did PUBG NOT run like garbage? I played it back in 2017 and it looked poor and performed even worse. 

Ewww, PUBG is one of the worst games I’ve had the displeasure of playing. Ran like garbage, played like garbage, felt like garbage. I’m in the minority, for sure, but what an awful experience I had with hat game. I didn’t have a moment of fun with it.

I’m not sure what to make of this, but this “we’re getting hacked in real time” stuff just SOUNDS staged and awfully appropriate for headlines. It’s very suspect that he’s not flat out just naming these people and instead of putting it behind a $20 paywall. I don’t know what message that sends to people who have been…

If it’s non-sim, I can only hope for a Blitz style game. Please. 

No idea where you’re getting this, but that’s completely nonsense. If I recall, Fox started in Skullgirls which WAS kind of a niche fighting game. Since then Fox has topped some major games, mostly NRS games, like Mortal Kombat 9, X, 11, Injustice 1 & 2, Dragon Ball FighterZ and he’s done pretty well in Street…

He’s a good reason why some people shouldn’t have guns. I don’t give a fuck if it was in his own home and didn’t hurt anyone. Call if Duty is huge with younger gamers, so why should we sugar coat his behaviors to however many thousands of younger people watching him swing a gun around? Swinging a gun for no reason at…

What a terrible headline. How many headlines could Ian headline if Ian could headline headlines

It’s about $16-$18 here in the Bay Area.

Better yet - don’t use Venmo at all since their privacy is bullshit. I really hate that you can only make transactions private. You should be able to make your FRIENDS list private and every part of your profile. I hate that you can see transactions from people you don’t even know.
