Nooo, I missed playing a game with my favorite Kotaku author! And you were accepting friend invites? How is your friends list not full now? :)

You can already sort of do this by using a focus target, and setting macros (or using addons) to heal your focus target if you have one instead.

I still have issues with the detection system. I was playing DuckTales Remastered, and my VOD was muted because, of course, the DuckTales theme song.

It would be...inconceivable!

Typo in your answer. Samurai Spirits is actually Samurai Shodown. Not Samurai Showdown, as you might think. So it actually went from properly spelled English in Japan, to...well, not.

I've been playing since beta. Got a life time member ship after a year of playing it. I don't play it every day, but I feel I've gotten my money's worth, especially with all the alts I've made. STO definitely has it's flaws, and a lot of bugs that they seem to take a long time to fix, if ever. But despite that, I…

How is EVO coverage not something that should be on KotakuCore? It's news directly about gaming. Cosplay is less directly related to gaming.

I don't think such a tournament mode would really help. These high profile tournaments are streamed anyway, so it's easy for viewers to see evidence of cheating in this manner, not to mention that it most likely gets recorded in Twitch or YouTube somewhere.

That's like saying two World War 2 FPSes are the same. Same types of enemies, same type of protaganist, same types of weapons, and same type of gameplay. And there's only a few hundred games like that.

There's been plenty of other Star Trek games. Bridge Commander is pretty old, but still popular, there's the RTS Armada series, and the free MMO Star Trek Online off the top of my head.

Exactly the same here. I've watched plenty of unboxing videos, almost in all cases for products I am thinking about buying, just so I can see what to expect, and how exactly things look, what the power plug looks like (will it fit in my powerbar?), etc.

Similarly, I didn't watch every single one of his videos, but I did watch a good number of them and enjoy them.

Save points are a little bit annoying, though having the ability to save anywhere does take away a bit from the challenge when you can save right before certain fights and instantly redo them over again if it doesn't go just how you want.

While I'm wary of microtransactions in games, especially ones which I pay for initially, from what's been described on how you can purchase Sleep Points (SP), it doesn't bother me.

It is an older video. And though a backer myself, I didn't follow the controversy too much past that point.

If you wanted the really in depth explanation and reasons of the backlash from the point of view of someone who really considers it a big deal, you can take a look at this video:

Why would it be against the law? It's just a printing of various words, phrases, and nonsensical characters.

Anyone else notice the list of adventurers for hire has names like "Biscuitotally". Makes me wonder how many of the other names are references I might not be getting.

What I want to know is, what games did he get for this? And what would have been the most ironic? (And am I even using the word ironic right?) Civilization?
