Say what you will about public nudity, but you gotta admire her dedication to the role.

Rudy Giuliani is the subject of multiple ethics probes and is facing possible disbarment. If anything, Trump should sue him for legal malpractice. Because that would be freaking hilarious!

Trump’s cameo absolutely ruins what would otherwise be a fun, lighthearted holiday movie. It leaves such a strong, lingering sense of disgust that the rest of the movie becomes unwatchable. 

No, not at all. Most of the market is large-scale, industrial publishers. Bookstores (even reputable bookstores) have huge sections for it (cordoned off, of course).

And yet, somehow, private corporations deciding not to donate money to politicians is somehow tyranny (though this sentiment will likely be expressed with the word tyranny misspelled).

This, folks, is why you don’t take selfies with terrorists.

I don’t mean just in terms of the story, though. Final Fantasy VII: The Remake was very limiting in terms of where you could go and how you could get there. Not just the story, but every step that your characters (can) take are practically on rails. There was always a very specific path to follow from Point A to Point…

But the original FFVII let you explore the open world at your leisure after leaving Midgar. Maybe that’s the problem with the first round of the remake: they kept the whole thing in Midgar. If the next round gives you the open world, that will more than make up for it.

Am I the only person who found Final Fantasy VII: Remake to be just way too linear? There was no room for exploration at all (sure, you could go down the wrong path and find a treasure box, but that’s it). A lot of the side quests and also asides on main quests felt like they were designed specifically to add to play…

Had TLOU2 come out in any other year, it would definitely be on this list. People just weren’t in the mood for that kind of super downer game in 2020.

You keep referring to evidence that simply does not exist.

The article mentions the existence of emails, but not their content. Of course there were emails between them; she was a reporter interviewing him and discussing writing his biography. I’m not suggesting they never met each other. I’m suggesting that the romantic aspects of their relationship might have been largely…

They referred to “a fiancee?” No names? I’m not sure what kind of proof Elle could hope to receive. Are there any love letters? Is it possible that there was something between them, but she went off the deep end (stalkers can and often do start out as jilted lovers)? There is just so much that is bizarre about her…

Can’t it be both, though? I don’t doubt that he led her along to get positive press coverage and more favorable treatment in court, but freezing your eggs for someone seems a bit extreme. 

Yeah, at the very least, they do not seem to be on the same page about planning a future together.

Is it at all possible that the whole “planning a future together” thing (and perhaps even the “sharing a kiss” thing) was all in Smythe’s imagination? I’m not trying to defend Shkreli, but even assholes (especially famous assholes) can have stalkers. And even journalists can turn into stalkers.

13.14 Yuan!? That’s like, what, $2.10? They can do better than that.

Here’s a better question: why publicize it? Why not just let the games industry have their circle jerk amongst themselves? Let them have their fun. Nobody else should care. Same with movies and music. Let the industry have their fun and let the rest of us ignore it. The publishing industry has awards, but those aren’t…

How could he possibly “skim” the headlines? Kotaku does not exist in physical media, so there is no way to cut or shave from the headlines or any other part of an article. Are you suggesting that he is printing the articles out just so that he can take a pen knife to them? That is absurd.

You are free to love or hate whatever you want for whatever reason you want. Your own personal enjoyment of something is just that, and you should never feel a need to justify it to anyone. Enjoyment is just one aspect of what makes art good or bad, and it is highly subjective.
