Yeah, it’s not quite a monopoly, because there are some alternatives. There’s something about those sites that drives away people who are just into certain games, whether they’re too old or too obscure. It’s harder to find an active subreddit that cares about a specific obscure game, or harder to justify making a…

How’s the distribution of rewards points these days? I haven’t redeemed any rewards since Assassin’s Creed 2, which eke’d out only enough points to unlock the Altair skin (not Altair’s black armor you get for finishing all the tombs/crypts/dungeons, but his actual face and iconic white outfit).

I would almost go as far as to say Steam has a monopoly on active PC gaming forums, and as a result moderation on most of them is not as good as this. There’s an almost palpable fear of retaliation by gaming communities negative-review-bombing. The Total War devs should be proud for stepping up and putting the needed r…

I’m for it if only because it’d force Kotaku to talk about a rapper who isn’t Drake.

(Also, I live in North Jersey. For real hmu if you’re still in Jersey)

Can I donate him my non-working original Gamecube controller for parts? I’d imagine they’re not easy to get 1st party anymore.

Glad someone’s here to mention this song in a video game context, because I have desperately wanted to state this about this song: Those notes in the opening few seconds sound like the start of a SNES JRPG’s dungeon theme.

Why does every “I’m a new PC gamer” intro post read like an alcoholics anonymous meeting. PC gaming is about playing and supporting obscure indie things to push them into the mainstream. It’s about playing modded games from 2 console generations ago to appreciate good design, with or without flashy graphics. It’s…

Thank you for providing unique perspectives even though I disagreed a lot. I always appreciated your opinions even though Pikachu is a really good boy who deserves your kindness. Wishing you the best even though I dislike Drake vehemently. Good luck in your future endeavors even though

I noticed the lack of an update for Java, still haven’t activated my free Windows 10 edition but I won’t do it just for this update. They can’t add everything because they’re maintaining parity with console releases, which have limited memory.

Google sure does have some dumb policies when it comes to anyone more advanced at computers than your grandmother.

It’s totally the opposite with GameMaker Studio, where serious users all use the grey/boring Microsoft Office style theme and anyone using the green-on-black color scheme gets told they’re a wannabe coder.

I must be late about this, but I would have thought casually mentioning The Washington Post having a Twitch channel was burying the lead/lede.

I loved this bonus episode. Such a good rapport with C. Hecker and I feel like he always has something insightful to say about game design.

I think Kinja swallowed the pictures in your post.

I am curious how the Red, Blue, and Pink hair are drawn in the manga now.

Fairly certain it wouldn’t get an M rating as that’s a local rating by the ESRB in the US, and nude statues are pretty ho-hum in the US. It might, however, get the equivalent rating in other regions, and Ubisoft wouldn’t want to waste time or money making several different versions get certified with their own unique…

If I could mod an unshaded pink fish model I would.

Because tourism is officially sanctioned and encouraged by Egyptians.
