Well it's too late to edit my post, but really? I've "used" a storefront without making a single purchase or using a single one of their products? How's that any different than the restaurant sample scenario?

I've never downloaded the client, and quite frankly your notion that I've "used" a service which is primarily a storefront just because I've registered an account is completely ridiculous. It's like saying I ate at a restaurant because I ate a free sample they were pushing onto passersby.

I've never used a single Origin feature that doesn't give me free stuff.

You know it. I've been piling up a ton of complimentary games, On the House™. I just haven't had the motivation to download any of them.

Free for everyone... who uses Origin.

Staying cautiously optimistic. I hope we find out something good in the next hour.

Draped in pure ethers.

The header image certainly calls to mind the Shagohod, but the launch system proposed was completely different. The only things they have in common are rocket propulsion, and the use of a runway. (sorry for nerding out)

Up until now I've managed to avoid knowing there's a Giant Snake Boss in RE1. Still haven't gotten the motivation to play it, but I'd play a well-made PC port.

"Tempest in teapot" sounds like something someone would say to justify prejudice... And I'm glad Kotaku is a tolerant place where perspectives exactly like this are pointed out and like-issues are exposed.

I'm curious to know if the villains are as philosophically versed and eloquent as in Modern Combat 4. It was so out of place how the main bad guy would go into fluent, long-winded rants about American imperialism in the middle of a life-threatening situation. It just came across as goofy and very comic-book-like.

Ugh... at least use the right button. A on Microsoft's consoles / X on Sony's is usually the "posture" button in the kind of FPS with conveniently waist-high crouch barriers that this resembles. Unless you count analog sticks, but those take effort to draw.

Is this a Fahey sprite from some Kotaku dating sim I am unaware of?

Dear Kotaku,

When it comes to Kotaku headlines, I'm of the opinion that a high-quality still-image is always better than a choppy, muddy gif. Sorry guys, but I've seen better quality gifs on YTMND (not referring to the one at the top of this post, which is awesome).

Well hush my mouth and call me IP.

This is the future of annually released parody animal simulators.

Also, what am I reading here?
