To everyone mentioning Real Steel in the comments: I’m proud of you.

Just kind of a small brag, but Monster Hunter Rise came out around my birthday, so my family went overboard and threw me a Monster Hunter themed birthday party because I didn’t get a birthday get-together last year and they knew how excited I was for the game. The food was AMAZING (and they ended up making way too…

Well if the leak is true, Blisk’s passive ability will be wall-running, so you’ll get your wish....kinda.

I’ll admit when nobody asked for something and it turned out good, but...this is just a brand being slapped in a game for no real reason. It’s less of a “Piranah Plant is in Smash now” situation and more of a “you can drink a Monster Energy in Death Stranding” type deal.

Kotaku articles tend to follow the games the writers are playing or most interested in, so I’m guessing most of them just don’t play much Apex anymore. Gita was person who got most of the Apex news thanks to her fascination with himbo Mirage, but she’s moved her articles of them fixing the very-loud-logo-splash…

“I doubt they actually care; they’re just whining” may as well be Twitter’s official motto.

Yeah, this is weird because I don’t think anybody asked for this crossover in the first place? Don’t get me wrong, I’d probably get cool Apex clothes or whatever from whatever brand (there were some sweet sneakers they showcased a while back), but I’m not too keen an putting a real-world brand on my in-game character.…

Yeah, don’t get me started on Quebecois. I took a trip there in college and god help me it was *rough* from what I learned. Probably didn’t help that I hadn’t had any real French conversations or lessons in over a year.

What are your feelings on European French dubs? IDK if they do multiple dubs much anymore (I lived in France over 10 years ago and haven’t watched French dubs since) but I remember that a lot of shows had two different French versions for European and Canadian French. I don’t know if that’s still common practice in…

Yeah! I will say though that the actress isn’t bad, it’s just...you know...a Final Fantasy dub. French dubs are actually pretty great all around! I watched a TON of French-dubbed anime to help learn the language and I remember them being a lot better than a lot of English dubs at the time (around 2007-ish)

Just as someone who was immersed in French for 3 1/2 years of my life, it’s weird listening in on this. Ysayle has a great voice, but the actress is *really* saturday-morning-cartoon-style hamming it up in there XD. It's about on par for what I expect out of the game, but it's kinda funny what you pick up on when it's…

BRB gonna go sell a bunch of rare-as-heck potato chips that kinda look like famous people, except instead of actual chips it’s numbers that kill the planet.

So...someone invented numbered anime girl figurines that don’t give you an actual anime girl figurine and is also somehow worse for the environment. Cool. Coolcoolcool.

Looks neat. Can't wait to complain about it.

Oh it really sucks that all those people left or got laid off. Gravity Rush 2 was one of my favorite games of last generation and I was really looking forward to what they’d be able to do with that world next.

Yeah my physical order was in limbo so I got impatient and bought the digital version. Then my physical copy shipped just as they got a limited supply of the Deluxe Edition so...I bought that too. Don’t regret it though! It means I got at least one copy to lend out at a time!

Well shoot. I was gonna wait to get a PS5 until the whole scarcity thing wasn’t a problem and maybe get a price drop too, but I frickin love this game. I’ve already bought it 3 times and by god if I gotta buy a new console to play it again I probably will.

Yeah like I know it was 100 years ago, but remember when Trump and friends tried to blame the school shootings like Parkland on violent video games? God, those seem like simpler times.

This is really weird because I think Evens used to head programs that rallied against incarceration for nonviolent crimes. Idk the specifics (not my rep or county or city, I’m stuck in Peoria with fricking Rep LaHood) but I thought he was relatively chill and progressive?

If you are going to make PvP forced, at least make it painless. There's nothing more demoralizing than spending 10 minutes getting absolutely stomped only to realize you gotta do that two more times.
