Still is to me and many others!

“He hit me first” didn’t work when I was 4. Again, Sargon of Akkad is not someone I particularly follow, but what I’ve seen leads me to believe I could never get along with the guy. But Anita has made a career on claiming the moral high ground. By making the event about Sargon of Akkad, she did herself and her…

In fairness, while I have no love for Sargon of Akkad, interrupting a panel to single out one member of the crowd, calling him “human garbage”in what I can only imagine was an attempt to get the crowd to turn on him doesn’t let you claim the moral high ground on harassment. Anita came off as the harasser to an outside…

And.. none of these did anything for me when I watched them. Kotaku is ever creeping closer to irrelevance in so many topics for me. At least we still have aniTay.

A patch available now for the Xbox One version of ReCore shortens some of the game’s loading times. The two-minute load to the Shifting Sands area is now one minute. The original two-minute respawn times in Core Foundry have also been halved. (Load times in the PC version are shorter.) Read our full ReCore review here.

Animator Quack Attack published a Berserk parody animation that, many views later, is still making me giggle like an idiot. “Welcome to Berserk” has protagonist Guts stoically standing still as horrible things happen around him, infinitely, forever. Take a look:

Actually, this is very bad QA. Standard practice is to have a “Loser Playthrough” where you need to check off every situation in which a player can “lose” and how the game reacts. It is equally (if not more) important as playing through the game well, since it tests things which would otherwise go untested since they…

Ahh this takes me back. This was was the first computer game I ever bought, after my family bought its first Tandy. I think I even have the cloth map somewhere. That cover art did wonders for my imagination, I think I even reproduced it for frosh year art class.

Though I found that I actually enjoyed the gold box SSI…

Brilliant. If you aren’t at least somewhat affected by the works of fiction you consume, there’s something wrong. This is a good example about how the fiction we consume can influence us.

I really did love that the earlier Ultima games really tried to have the player do something and embody something other than being that guy that was really good at shit.

Like killing stuff was still super important but it took back seat to trying to embody these virtues and spread the good word of not being a total…

Ultima V is still one of my all-time favorite games. When it originally came out, the night-cycle, and the appearance of the Shadowlords in-town were quite oppressive and terrifying things to encounter. Alas my very first play-through of the game was a short one, I learned that confronting the Shadowlords was a very,…

Miura is still working on his. It’ll be ready in a few years.

I remember one funny interview where they band claimed they didn’t learn to play music, but one day they were abducted by aliens, and when they were returned, they could all play. lmao

This series is not a really good place to start. Really honestly try to start with the 1997 anime series. I did a little spoiler free write up in this anime guide we did on the user blog (its like 2/3rds the way down):

Aww dude, not the rock candies.... oh god the ending of that movie, I’m having flashbacks....
