Yeh tell that to japan after the earthquake.

Indeed. Some will argue that even the part where he said blacks elected Obama is racist but in a way it's true. The first time Obama was elected they had all time high participation from voters. Blacks who were very low in participation before registered in mass to vote for Obama. I even remember Howard Stern asking…

It doesn't change the fact that the media and the looters are using it as the justification. The "I'm entitled" attitude is a big part of it. Which is what he was getting at, even if he worded very badly.

Yeah, look, I'm never going to perfectly understand another person, no matter how well I know them. And I can't say I'll understand Evan's experience, especially as I'm not Black. That said, can't we approach this situation rationally? I think most people would agree that if the officer is lying, he deserves to be…

Adelman: Even though I ran the digital distribution business for almost 9 years, it actually wasn't until late 2012 that I started talking directly to the press. I think the main reason for this is that Nintendo is very careful about its image—as it should be—and I have a really bad habit of saying what's on my mind!…

Annnnnd, nope. Never trading to Gamestop again. Not that I did very often anymore but that pretty much seals the deal. A) I'm not a criminal and refuse to be treated like one and B) That's more info than I'm willing to give.

How does any of this make NCsoft a "bad" company? Because they don't tolerate customers who ruin the game experience for everyone else? That's what this is. I really don't give a crap that he's a "journalist" (though calling mos Kotaku writers 'journalists' is like calling the kid on the grill at McDonald's a…

So no movie can ever use burning buildings in posters again? It's not even clear that it's a NY building, there's just plain sky in the background. I'm not even getting into the date coincidence because being mad about that it's just stupid.
C'mon guys, it's been 13 years already.

This is complete bullshit. If he didn't rape someone, he should absolutely defend himself. People are raped and it's horrible, but people are also falsely accused and that's also an injustice. These things come down to pure "he said, she said" and that's what makes them so difficult, but an innocent person…

And the fact that this has now been upgraded to a "controversy" boggles my mind.

It makes me a little sad that this is going to be the tin can people beat on for the next few years when there are many more relevant issues in the gaming industry.

Seriously, kids are getting dumber/shitter by the generation, and parents are getting worse at doing their job.

seriously? you're referencing Batman? ok, I'll play - he lets the Joker live time and again - and the Joker brutally murders over and over. Some people are mentally ill, if they commit a murder, rape, kidnap, etc - they are likely going to do it again and don't deserve to be released into society to get another chance…

seriously? They're twelve, not three. They should know the difference between an internet meme and reality.

and this is why we need gun control!... oh wait nevermind.

Ugh...I'm so sick of the bandwagon of bitchiness over the fucking blue shell. Mario Kart is not a Forza-style racing sim for a reason; because those games kinda suck unless you're really into cars and racing alone, online, or with other friends who all have the same game skills with a very technical game.

I wrote this piece because I tried giving the original another go last month but switched the sequel after the first time Carth told me he didn't want to talk about it on Taris.

I know very few who were born with an emotional thick skin, most of us developed it getting bullied in real life or online.

My philosophy, but not something I would die for:

Way to blow a fuse. Is exactly for reactions like yours that creators should never listen to the aduience.
