The whole “this is just a publicity stunt” reminds me so much of the blowback against former NASCAR racer Danica Patrick. And yeah, while she didn’t do so great in NASCAR (did better in Indycar), the attitude is hurtful.

As a worker in the industry, I endorse this article.  Pay indoors, kids.  And check for skimmers on the pin pads too.

How much does Kotick make a year? 28mil.

Nice to see Basic Campfire from the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm years get a second wind.

Shine on you crazy diamonds :)

Dedicated sim gamers are really interested in systems, and how they work. They’ll spend years finding obscure behaviors and how to reproduce them reliably, and they all get together to share their stories over the fire of burning CRT cases they’ve scavenged from an Amiga graveyard. Everybody’s got their quirks. This…

Basically, provide the game on USB drive and if there’s not enough room, download it from the internet. Yes? Yes.

So does ‘...’ count as one ellipsis, or three?

If you like the flavor that olive oil brings to the party, you can mix it with canola oil to get a relatively smokeless cook.   It doesn’t take much to get the flavor!

Years with multiple cats (we currently have 6) and I’ve come to the conclusion that my little furbabies are far more important to me than xxxSepiroth666xxx’s dungeon group. I just politely tell them I have to go and then drop, and take care of my little friends. Guess what? That game’s still there when I’m done! It’s…

If you think this is infantile, you should follow F1 racing.

The most amusing thing about this scene is that I had in my mind that “The Ecstasies of Gold” was the song playing over this bit.  It was actually played over the previous scene.  But, it works!

Trailers be fine, but if you don’t mind spoilers, the finale really says everything you need to know about this movie.

NOBODY should feel they have to justify blocking anyone on Twitter (except POTUS who is obligated as a public employee).  If they’re toxic, stupid, high-maintenance, or just generally annoying, if blocking them makes your life better, do it.  You owe nobody on Twitter anything.

As you’ve said before (https://kotaku.com/it-s-time-for-game-developers-to-unionize-1823992430), those folks need a union or three.

For some historical context, the supposed event took place allegedly in 1871 or 1872 on the main line of the C&O Railroad at Big Bend Tunnel outside of the small town of Talcott, WV.  There is a statue erected above the tunnel on State Route 3, made of bronze, I think.  It’s always been a Big Deal to the town of…

The statue of John Henry above Big Bend Tunnel doesn’t have hair, either.

Next time: Sam Raimi brings his time on the Spider-Man franchise to a close with Spider-Man 3, a case study of what can happen when a director and a studio don’t get on the same page.

At least Blizz lifted the ban on being able to solicit donations for addon developers - at one time, that was a requirement.  Just imagine.
