well the biggest difference is that playing diablo 4 is not very much like writing a 20 page term paper at all. 

I’m pretty sure it’s done. they showed it, or at least a cut of it, at last years FanFest

So I read your previous article about players being “shadowbanned.” It’s still happening. I just got the game last sunday. I was able to play for a couple hours and that’s it. I see tons and tons of posts on the activision forum and elsewhere about it, but no response. It seems most people are able to play again in…

Nah man. My internet’s wireless point-to-point from the roof of my building to a nearby water tower.

In what way is online connectivity required at the final stage? Feel free to spoil me.

I also like to play video games with one hand while holding the pole. Wish I lived someplace with a subway system.

So the constraints on the games make sense but they also defeat the purpose of the console. At the same time I assume Sony has done their research. So is there a demand for such a machine or is Sony stupid?

And who appointed you representative of all concerned parents?

That’s not what I asked. I asked you to stop protecting my children from the comments sections on Kotaku articles.

Do you also TRULY fail to understand how appointing yourself as protector to a very large group of people who haven’t asked for and don’t desire your services is being a prick? It’s literally the most sanctimonious thing I can think of right now.

I’m an actual parent and I’m officially asking you to please stop…

This guy seriously just said he thinks he needs to be the parent figure for, like, the whole world.

I will never, ever understand why Dark Souls II gets so much hate. Personally it’s my favorite of the series.

I wish that podcasts would come with transcripts. I would love to read it, but I can’t sit still for long enough to listen to one.

I had the pleasure of talking to Charlie Cleveland back some time around 2004, about Natural Selection. He’s a really smart and genuine guy who makes you feel important when he talks to you. I’m glad he is still around.

The Steam icon blinked in on my taskbar as I returned to my desk, the paper plate in my hand sogging a bit after its stint in the microwave under my usual dinner, two pepperoni Hot Pockets.

How would you have any idea how much his budget was?

I was really surprised and sort of turned off when I heard that Hayter had been replaced and equally skeptical about the dude from 24 taking over. Once I actually played the game though, I have to begrudgingly agree that I think it was the right call. It really helps sell this character as a different individual from…

The corpses are just flat out necessary. Even in the short period of time during which the game was in EA prior to their introduction a very solid “formula” for building a party and trivializing basically the whole game was shaping up quick. There were balance tweaks to abilities and such that needed to happen to but…

I don’t mean to sound rude saying so but I feel like you haven’t played the game in a while or not much in the first place. Upgrading the buildings at all is a significant investment, not to mention maxing them out. It’s true that there’s no “game over” until NG+ but either making no progress or even taking a loss is…

I don’t agree that RNG “game over” is 100% unacceptable in a roguelike, but more importantly I don’t think it’s fair to say that heart attacks are “unavoidable insta-death traps” or that suffering one is “losing the game”
