I wish I could lose half a million dollars and still be rich.

I don't know why anybody buys a fighting game within the first year of release anymore. You can always be assured of a "complete" version being released at half the price with all of the characters in the near future.

Seems appropriate. I've never known a fighting game to have more than a fourth of a story.

I don't think those are nearly as "hideous" as some have suggested. They are a background detail, out of focus and far away.

Ha ha — that's pretty much how it works. Before long, you'll be hating everything, too.

You haven't been around Kotaku very long. We respond to pretty much everything by hating it.

If they are, they are much like Atlantis. At the bottom of the ocean...

Asus should celebrate by calling their next laptop The BumblebEee Pad Transformer.

Yeah — I was agreeing with you. Just noting that people rip off Shakespeare, who in turn ripped off others, who likely in turn...

"Shakespeare alone is copied over and over"

If that's true, then that's what they should have said. Not some bitchy thing about Android being an "irresponsible dead end."

You're barking up the wrong tree. I'm sure the games are good enough, but the developers are jackasses, and I've basically sworn off anything they do. From their website:

I'm really glad I rolled the dice on this game. I haven't found the controls uncomfortable, but I'm a veteran of The World Ends With You which required holding the DS in much the same way. I have had some trouble with the controls being awkward, especially controlling the camera when on land, but the game provides…

I've found the opposite, actually. I have no comfort problems at all, but the control scheme for moving the camera while on land is pretty questionable.

Seriously, Gawker? How much eye-rolling did you have to endure from your editors when you sent them out to inform us that this is "for our own security?" I'm picturing Michael Scott informing Dunder Mifflin about another corporate idea that everybody knows is impossibly stupid.

Shame. I'd hoped that after Other M, Team Ninja had gotten "making shitty games" out of their system.

The first Zune looked like a digital turd, I agree.

That's certainly true for enterprise purposes, but MS has had a lot of trouble winning hearts and minds at the consumer level. People use MS because the need to. They use Apple because they want to.

The main problem Microsoft has in front of them is that it doesn't really matter what they do. We can argue back and forth about whether a desktop and a tablet should really run the same OS and work the same way, and that's fine, but the answer is irrelevant.

It's a joke. Calling her Metroid has been a meme around these parts for a while.
