The VMAs peaked with either White Zombie in 1995 or when Pras saved ODB from being caught in an explosion during Ghetto Superstar.

The greatest marketing coup in decades has to be a company convincing the public they have to buy an annual version of a video game. Incredible.

I really don’t understand why they can’t just release an actual new game every five years and a paid new year roster update every year between. Then maybe the game could stop being a massive piece of shit.

Seriously, I’m looking at that and thinking “looks like a feature, not a bug.”

Bring back NFl Blitz.

Considering how garbage the Giants are that video of Golloday tripping the RB might be the most realistic Madden clip I’ve seen.

The biggest over-hype for me regarding the “They said it was impossible and, for nearly two decades, that seemed to be the case.” is that...
#1, it then states that the actual challenge was only posted a year ago so for all we know, Halo savants have done it before and the fanfare only went as far as their gamer friend…

In the 18 years since Halo 2’s 2004 release on Xbox, no one had ever published evidence of completing the challenge.

While people want to think gender as ‘fluid’ however in reality, it is simply not the case. Biologically speaking, the purpose of living things is to conceive and multiply and keep their species alive.

Okay but that really doesn’t speak towards this particular character. That being said this is a larger issue in Otaku culture generally speaking, and has been in the past for underage gym leaders.

Also the /vp/ thread referenced is just pure hatred and bigotry, as one might expect from 4chan. I wish I hadn’t seen it.

Do trans men require representation only in the form of male characters who are explicitly outed as trans? What’s stopping them from vicariously experiencing cis male characters through any relatable masculinity?

Aren’t most gym leaders canonically children? This is a little weird, Sisi. That being said I’m supportive and possess flexible gender and sexuality, but all this sexualizing of the gym leaders is just gross.

He “changed his mind at the last second” but also had a spliced together video of his best times for that exact run available at a moment’s notice for him to pretend to play live?

He doubled down on bullshit even after being caught in the same way that a child does.

I truly do not understand what point this dude was trying to make and I’m not sure he does either.

Would be nice if MS could secure permanent availability for all of the games on GP. Kind of annoying not knowing when a game is going to be removed until 15 days before it happens.

A massive portion of the HoN playerbase quit/switched immediately when they announced buy2play, but before that in the early beta days, the hardcore DOTA crowd was transitioning quickly to HoN

Nah, right at release in beta, when it was free beta anyway, it was a rival. It was almost a carbon copy of Dota before Dota 2 came out, in a flashier looking engine, and way less cartoony/dumbed down like League was and actually looked FAR better graphically.

If they had never done a buy2play model, and had launched…

Kotaku has become complete garbage since Schreier left. It was already spiraling before that, likely due to the new(ish) ownership. Journalistic integrity and capitalism, as it turns out, are not particularly compatible. 

Why is this a video?
Why is there no accompanying text to even indicate if this is a new report or something you’ve also written about? If the former, why? If the latter, why?
