Yeah like, when I see the words “Bobby Kotick calls out to the world”, in my head I’m all like, “Hey Bobby, remember that time you sent a voice message to your secretary, threatening to have her killed?”

Hi, just a friendly reminder that Bobby Kotick is a piece of shit and the world would be better off if literally the entire fleet of Greyhound busses ran over him (and the rest of Activision-Blizzard executive leadership, for that matter).

i love you for dragging me with the office, one of my fave shows lol i think of it as a stylistic choice. i could just write “perfect” and have a couple of times throughout this blog but i also try to inject some of my personal style as a writer in non-newsy posts. and as long as my editor’s cool with it i’m cool with…

I spent hours throwing that ball around that island. Hahaha

trulululululul

The “wobloblobbobl” noise the magic ball made will forever be imprinted in my brain.

A lot of the issues that people claimed to have with FF13 (the abandoment of illusion of choice, limited exploration, etc...) had their roots in FFX.  It just came to a head with XIII dialing it up to 11.

All this heat for Chris Rock, but very little to no smoke for Will “I get to be publicly violent and still have the Root Kiss My Ass” Smith. Will Smith, the clown whose open marriage got away from him and got syndicated letting his wife try to sexually embarrass him while she slept witth her son’s behavorially…

Man, imagine if Nintendo just...did this themselves? Could save them a load of whack-a-mole legal stuff, and make a few million to boot!

If you’re an executive, you’re in charge of what happens at your company. You can’t take the big 1% checks without also taking the responsibility.

tie fighter gang till i die, as a kid who was raised on NES, MS-DOS games that had to be loaded off of a stack of multiple 2.5" floppies that sometimes required a boot disk to run properly and original trilogy star wars movies, tie fighter and wing commander are S-tier games to me.

Also, someday I’d love to get out of the grays....

Luke, every year you make the same claim and every year I want to scream at you: TIE Fighter is superior to Dark Forces in every way. I will argue this until the day I die.

Arguably, we could transition to Universal Basic Income and not starve, freeze or otherwise deprive people of their basic needs and dignity while we figure it out.

I find the review round more helpful in actually deciding if I should invest in the game than 1 person’s opinion.   I have limited time, and this is the only gaming site I check, so I really appreciate these.  

If we don’t get a code for the game, we can’t review it ahead of time. Simple as that. 

You guys do know not ever game website gets a review copy right? Hell, most companies have a curated list of youtubers and Twitch streamers who they know will give more favorable opinions of their games who theyd rather give review copies to. Also the fact Kotaku is blacklisted for a lot of publishers.

Was absolute floored at this. Watching the videos of the abuse in unfolding was very painful to watch, the text messages, everything just totally abhorrent. Hoping her situation improves from here on out.

I hope that she’s able to get out of this situation safely! 

7.5 months - given it’s probably still at least a month or two away AND DLC is worked on prior to a game being released (because what else are modellers etc. doing prior to release) means it’ll be nearly a year minimum between release and the DLC.
How on earth is that reflective of corporate greed or cut content?
