This is an amazing idea! Thanks for sharing it :)

I asked my boss, Kotaku editor-in-chief Stephen Totilo, if I could take the rest of the day off. “Absolutely not,” he said.

Fairness does NOT equate to presenting “two sides” to a story.

CONTEXT! Context is everything!!

A black American man using the n-word in a rap song which celebrates black lives is a completely different context to a white European man using the word as a disparaging remark in a video game.

Australia had some brilliant grindhouse cinema, and it’s wonderfully documented in Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild Untold Story of Ozploitation!

Good thing you can just play a youtube video and hit record on a DAW...

Yes, well as Meatloaf said, two out of three ain’t bad.

(Sound also plays a part, but many people play iphone games with the sound off, so it…

I’m not a Mercy player, and I think this sucks.
