The ending was near perfect. The novelty of doing the same things beat for beat would have worn off; we’ll still get to see a lot of the same places in Part 2 and on but the story will now be different. Now you’re telling me there’s a chance Aerith doesn’t die, or someone else does? It’s new, it’s interesting.

So here’s a guy who critiqued the game’s empty world that was willing to give what is arguably an irredeemably bad experience a second try, and you’re mad that he still didn’t like this? Honestly, judging by how many critics (and colleagues back when I was still a reporter) said they would rather pound sand than play…

Thanks for clarifying that you’re not buying it because it’s an Xbox.  I was really worried about that.

I’m excited for people to be mad about this because reasons. 

Cheaters are shit in my book and not worth wasting your time on. I’ve dealt with this personally and tried to reconcile for 3 years.

Team B is working on hotfix 321 that fixes some random “players can glitch through this wall” exploit. Last week, hotfix 123 went out. This week, hotfix 321 went out, but didn’t include…

I understand you’re not trying to be offensive but it’s still a really mean title for your article. You could have written “Hokko is basically Animal Crossing on PC” or something. It’s got a different tone, it’s less aggressive.

Is your name “Roy” by any chance?

Thanks as always Kotaku for letting us host the site for the weekend! Hope you enjoyed our thoughts on Animal Crossing, the Xbox, Starfleet, Trails, the Famicom, robot revolutions and more. While all good things do come to an end, sometimes they can come back in mysterious forms. Cing, the developers behind Last…

My raccoon story didn’t have as happy an ending.

A couple months after moving into my current house we noticed a terrible smell coming from our fireplace. I thought maybe a bird had died or something at the top of the chimney. Nope. Turns out the previous owners didn’t install a chimney cap and a fat raccoon crawled…
