I hate the audience questions at convention Q&As.

“And yet the discourse continues, inevitable as the tides, trapping us in the unceasing whirlpool in perpetuity,” said the whirlpool.

The “better, fairer minded” type reviewer that basically handwaved away most of the legitimate concerns people have about the Diablo Immortal monetization with “well, I’m having fun” and managed to either miss or ignore the way the game was pushing him toward spending even before the level cap?

Kotaku has quickly become the garbage negative bully reviewer. I used to come here for great articles with honest opinions but now it’s like you’re trying to find issues with every single game. Look not everything you enjoy is everyone else’s cup of tea. First off. You’re not “shooting” anything It’s a gat dang flash…

This is fundamentally not what Stray is like lmao, there’s no core genre shift. At one point the flashlight you’ve had since the beginning gains the ability to kill bugs for a section, and then it doesn’t anymore. During this section there’s a bit of a horror vibe that feels like a natural extension of what came…

That’s like saying speedrunning games is pointless because a TAS will be better. 

I mean, fair point overall. I won’t let a single review change my mind, but I will let this information temper my expectations. Kotaku is generally a shadow of its former self, and maybe even a shadow of that shadow. Agree that that is primarily what I come here for also. That said, John is one of the more intentional…

I wouldn’t write it off based on this one review. Every other one I’ve read has been pretty overwhelmingly positive. Kotaku has become notorious for writing negative, condescending, clickbait titles since the scandal a few years back and subsequent staff changes. I only come to scan headlines and see if I’ve missed…

Fair enough. Based on what you and Gruesome Twosome have said, maybe Miami Vice deserves a rewatch. Will say that, if nothing else, I enjoyed the hostage rescue/headshot scene, that was badass.

Ah yes, because the total number of her fans happened to precisely match the number of tickets available.

Guy who has only seen Spongebob:

Apparently I missed last week’s WAYPTW thread, so I can combine what I’ve been up to. It’s still pretty short though.

First up, I’m back on my Star Wars Saturday bullshit streaming Star Wars: The Old Republic on my twitch channel (https://twitch.tv/lost_limey). This most recent session, I’ve been working my way…

That’s giving Elvis too much credit. Seriously.

To be fair to your point, the volume of accusations is too often the deciding factor. One accusation might not result in anything. With Chikara it was several and aimed at a variety of talent and management. I have been a little surprised to see Bryce have success in AEW. Not that he was named, but he was such a big…

I have never seen a bigger set of fuckbois than the innumerable “easy for them to say!” Commenters.

You might be right about Vince in particular but as a long-time fan of Chikara Pro I think *some* fucks are very much given. I haven’t heard a peep from Joey Ryan in ages. Marty Scurll ran off to Australia.

Good lord, absolute zero self-awareness with this deeply weird man

It’s a fun thing to look back on, now that both LoT and the AV Club are over.

Could you transition to someone who makes smart jokes?
