Witwix is great- not only at the game he's chosen to spend most of his time on, but he's hilariously self-deprecating.

What does Chillie Poon order at the deli?

I know it's been mentioned by other commenters, but: how the hell are 11 of the polls already closed? How does that make any sense? Am I missing something here?

I think this might be the best overall year for the bracket ever, and I'm serious about that- there are so many classics here. Assumption would be pleased with how many great names there are in the Bulltron Regional alone.

I fully support any and all Saul Williams-ing in any arena. Good show, Kyle Wagner- good show indeed.

My immediate first thought was "Portal"; in fact, I don't even have a second thought on the matter. It introduces a new gameplay concept and makes the gameplay incredibly fun, introducing new ideas at just the right pace. It's excellently-written and voice-acted. The graphics and art design are great. It's exactly as…

So the fact that her ten-year-old nephew applied for a job at her company doesn't make you think that maybe she inspired him? Really? I can't put words in the kid's mouth, but if I were in that position, and you asked me why I wanted to design games and why I applied to that company, I'm pretty confident that I would…

Not that it matters considering what a joke the BHoF is, but still, what a ridiculous decision in a string of endless ridiculous decisions regarding that institution. If he simply hadn't come out and said it was him- but still allowed the Internet to decide who he was voting for- he wouldn't be in trouble. It's his…

Goddamn it, Owen, I love you.

I was beyond happy to wait in line at PAX East to play "Transistor"- it was my "Get to the expo center at 7:30AM and get in the queue to run to a certain game" game on the second day- and I was not in the least disappointed. Honestly, as Ashley sang, I almost started tearing up. Getting to stand around and chat with…

"Dante"? More like "Don't, eh"?

Characters: Ilo and Milo

It's criminal that I had to scroll down this far to find Rucks. Greg Kasavin (writing) and Logan Cunningham (voice acting)- who I'm not sure met each other face-to-face during the creation of the game- combined to create an absolutely unforgettable character. Did "Bastion" have the greatest story? No. Did it have the…

Yes yes yes yes YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! "Shoot This Guy in the Face" is the best mission in the history of video games, and I'm not saying that ironically. It's hilarious, and- as pointed out by Anthony Burch in this week's "Inside the Box" article- it completely subverts what you're expecting. It's…

All of my favorite "BL" characters- Tina, Moxxi, Lilith (who I never played as), Ellie- are confident, badass women.

For my money, "Build That Wall" is not only the hands-down best song of the past console generation, but one of the best songs of the past five years, period. I generally don't like anything that's depressing, but the "Bastion" soundtrack is perfectly, beautifully, even charmingly depressing.

...Seriously, you know this article and the above comments are THREE YEARS OLD, right?

Along with the "Borderlands" games and "Red Dead Redemption", my five favorite games/series of this generation are "Portal", "Limbo", and "Bastion". So, personally? Yeah, I'm OK with shorter and more meaningful. (And as the "RDR" post earlier on Kotaku reminded me, I'm also OK with new gameplay concepts and amazing…

The game I've played most from this generation is "Borderlands 2"- I've probably sunk 500 hours into it, and I'm still playing, and it's an addiction, and that addiction is horrible, and I love it, and I hate it, and I really love it.

I completely misread your previous comment, and then in proofreading my own comment, misread it again. (It doesn't help that plenty of people DO hate them just because of segments of their community, which probably contributed to my misreading.) In that regard, I am an idiot, and I apologize.
