I wish DC would see the success of Doom Patrol and choose more offbeat heroes to create shows around. It’s a damn shame we haven’t gotten a live-action show about The Question yet.

I’m glad that they do. I much prefer swapping some rechargeable batteries than having to dock and charge a controller.

Calm down buddy. These are retail jobs in an industry where retail has been shrinking for years.

The core problem—that the novel’s vision of geekdom focuses entirely on the favorite media of cishet white men—is more difficult to address.

I don’t know if I’d call it “activist bullying,” but when social media democratizes speech, it gives us the illusion that everyone has to have an opinion on everything and that everyone’s opinion matters equally.

Trans people are 100% entitled to the same dignity and respect as everyone else - of course. And also, that Barsanti article, like so many others, makes me want to puke in my mouth. I would never want to be forced into a conversation with someone like that. Every progressive cause has its share of reactionary…

The topic is transitioning away from trans persons per se and it is moving on to the wider topic of ‘activist bullying’ which has become so abusive that its becoming counterproductive to their respective causes. This Barstani article in particular is an example.

I know this is Kotaku, so lots of people have every console ever and seven PCs lying around, but it bugs me when I hear people talk about “lack of exclusives” for Xbox because the PC version exists. Not everyone plays games on PC. So, if it’s on PC and Xbox, you might as well consider it an “exclusive.” In terms of…

Farscape was just about to get really cool when they shitcanned it. The movie they made because fans were so pissed is ok but we really missed out on 10-20 episodes of some good stuff 

Everything Carnivàle.

Bbecause someone doesnt agree with a way some people choose to live their lives it does make them a "phobe" of any kind. If I said I don't agree with people eating so much as to be obese does that make me an obesephobe? Heck I'm far and can agree that it's not a good thing, if I tell someone my opinion on it it doesnt…

“Instead of not acknowledging it or explicitly showing it, the game opts for a middle ground between these two extremes. The result is a muddled and indecisive depiction of Jim Crow.”

That video was clearly shot with a cell phone (rather than one of those vehicle video cameras that are always running and pointing in the same direction) by someone who was following. So, whoever that person is, he or she knew something was about to go down even though no one was on camera when it started. So that…

Ah, the ComicsGate historical revision.

Honestly this looks great, but I’m just bummed that it’s a DVD instead of like a a Netflix show. It looks like Mortal Kombat by the way of the new Castlevania anime, which is a great idea. The story doesn’t sound great though; why focus on Scorpion for half of a movie and then have him play the guest character for the…

This is a bad take. The details ARE the game. The story and gameplay is far from original or innovative.  But the immersive world created by the stunning landscapes and the mundane details like dirt, horse riding, foliage, scurrying animals, etc. is what takes you back to a world over 100 years ago and make it one of…

“. . .and that it will be paid at a 1.5x rate.”

Uh, isn’t that what you’re supposed to pay for overtime in the first place? Wouldn’t not doing that in the past have been illegal? I thought that’s why so many companies are vehemently against employees working overtime.

But what if we’re out of pot?

Unwanted sequels? Yeah, the majority of them maybe. But American Pie 2 was pretty good. I haven’t watched it in a while, probably not since 2012 when Reunion came out, but while I find the main four a little less likeable in the first film the further away in age I get from them (as much as I enjoy the film itself in…

My dude, an Easter egg is a reference, which is why the crowbar doesn’t have a half life logo or Freeman’s name on it.
