I can't help but feel you just told me to switch off my brain. Wracking your brain over what's coming next and trying to figure out how things piece together not only adds to the emotional experience, but it also is a wonderful exercise for the mind. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing how your wild theories…

I have complete and utter disdain for "rape culture." It's just like every other trigger term out there. The whole purpose is to take something that varies from person to person and situation to situation and makes it seem like some full blown threat to our existence. There are horrible, horrible men that take…

You're welcome. :) I know it's not a game for everyone, as it's looks like a realistic style game at first glance, but it is pretty over the top and out there when you get into it. That's likely due to being such an old franchise that developed in the days of old and it's Japanese origin. I personally enjoy the…

Well, the older titles were mostly just staying out of sight and misdirecting enemies with noises, but 3 introduced a camo index wherein you had to switch to the appropriate camo based on your environment. MGS4 introduced "octacamo" that, as its name implies, works like octopus skin and mimics the texture and color of…

This looks a little bit like he skewed the imagery to prove his point (not that I'm disagreeing with him, as I know humans are largely asymmetrical, myself included). I may also be misunderstanding what you have described, but the second picture alone is enough to make me a skeptic. One side has mismatched bangs,…

The part of me that hates Michael Bay is saying "Nope", but the nerdy child in me is saying "Daddy! Mama! That robot is riding a T-rex!" That being said, I'm confident Bay will find a way to make even that mundane.

Even if the universe is infinite, there's no way that we could ever prove that. Measuring and calculating from one relatively small point in our universe can only produce exceedingly rough guesstimations, at best. The only side that could ever be truly proven is that it is finite, and even that would be assuming that…

You'd eventually hit a brick wall. Sure you can augment yourself to be good at anything, but you won't even be able to appreciate the fruits of your labors. Your life would be more meaningless than ever, with about as much to be proud of as an iPad does. Failure is part of who we are. We are messy, illogical, and…

I don't think he was so much trying to pull a superiority stance so much as he was saying that it's nice to see the non-AAA underdog come out on top for once.

Sarcasm already doesn't translate well online, but it just gets worse with subsequent use—when everything one says is sarcasm, nothing they say is sarcasm, and what not. I don't think you had any bad intent, but you definitely stirred up an ant bed. Haha!

Most of the people here probably just didn't see the sarcasm. A lifetime of nerdiness tends to put you on the defensive, especially when you are into Japanese entertainment. You wouldn't believe how many people I've put up with that would say something like that wholeheartedly.

Suddenly, this whole thread makes sense—crossed wires abounding.

Sarcasm tends not to translate too well into text, as it largely depends on vocal cues. Most of the people who liked your post were likely taking it at face value.

You do realize you have a Japanese name as well, right? I know that you're likely pulling from the the website title, but Kotaku pulls from otaku.

Although the art quality (and almost certainly the writing quality) is not nearly of the caliber that most others here have displayed, I'm working on a visual novel (no porno) about a guy who falls in love with a girl with the ability to manipulate fire and must help her face off with her past demons (well that's the…

It's pretty possible to dislike GTA without despising mainstream. I loved Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us, but I HATE Grand Theft Auto. I can understand why people would find it fun, being able to wantonly run about unleashing your inner dickatude, and all— sure, that can be fun. Some of us just prefer something…

She may be more of an in-the-moment evil genius, but that was a COMPLETELY unexpected turn to villainy.

Let's just start explaining every term from now on. We aren't shoppers, we're people who shop. We're not workers, we're people who work. The people part is implied, and a reckless dick will be a reckless dick with or without the added syllables. I get that people personally don't like to identify themselves with…

I kind of wonder if the Joker doesn't feel like he's bettering Batman, in a way. The Joker only sees the world as ugly and so just kind of wants to see it destroyed. He almost seems to feel like he could make Batman into the ultimate cleansing tool if he could just get him to break his one rule, and, therefore, doing…

The biggest problem with socialism is that it completely leaves humans out of the equation. The reason that capitalism tends to go further than socialism is because of incentive. People need to have a reason to strive, so when you remove incentive, people will stop carrying their weight. You can't take something that…
