Some cursed switch in my brain flipped the other day and started reading all the fish and bug puns in a Seinfeld voice and I can’t make it stop

Well he’s wrong, it’s terrific. Never apologize for a pun.

When I read this article and say the term “headcannon” for some reason I came up with my own reason for the red. It is the blood of all the people White Mage heals soaking up the edges of the uniform. The White Mages gets in and gets the job done, but gets a little messy sometimes saving lives.

It’s this kind of bullshit that’s had me reading Kotaku for so long. Thank you for taking a deep dive into this.

It’s subtle, but he’s right, and you’re arguing past eachother.

Wow. I’m of two minds on this. I mean, I love the Borderlands franchise (though I’ll freely admit I’m down on 3 more than the others), but I know how video game adapted movies go. I think there’s some really great characters in Borderlands and if they can make a story that’s around the quality of BL2/TPS/Tales/BL3's…

Replace DJ with Cena for Brick, and barring getting David Eddings back- Chris Tucker for Claptrap (he has that Fifth Element energy in there somewhere, I refuse to believe it’s dead).

Oh my god no. It’s fucking awful. Full of objectively terrible acting, an over relience on terrible CGI, like Flash on CW level CGI but with an insane budget. A dumb plot. And as someone who adores so many unrealistic movies, scenes so unreal they belong in a cartoon.

I’m glad you enjoy this terrible movie. I too…

Posted this on io9, but call me when they make a limited Tales from the Borderlands series starring [charismatic guy, haven’t landed on a specific actor yet] as Rhys, Stephanie Beatriz as Fiona, Sasha Lane as Sasha, and Charlie Day as Vaughn.

Emma Stone, Winston Duke, Diego Luna, Dwayne Johnson. There’s your vault hunters. If you can’t get Stone, get Karen Gillen and fully embrace the Jumanji On Meth vibe. Give Cate Blanchett some makeup and a CG arm and let her play Helena Pierce if you insist on casting her in the movie.

COUNTERPOINT: She’ll elevate the shit out of it, because she can, and takes pride in doing just that.

Trying real hard not to let loose some anger and/or take it real personal that the video game-film genre has a huge chance at gaining legitimacy through Cate Blanchett’s casting... and Kotaku’s only take is to have one of its reviewers remind us that he doesn’t like Borderlands.

i’m gonna level with you, crisis core isn’t that good. combat-wise, it’s fun, and the stuff that directly ties into the OG, like Zack’s final stand, is nice. the soundtrack’s really good at times. but the majority of the writing is pretty piss, and revolves around there being a bunch of other characters who do the…

Jeez, I wonder how long it’ll take for this to go terribly, terribly wrong. 

Or a video game company can donate a big $0 and not be featured in this article. That’s also an option.

How much money and other relief has Kotaku’s parent company donated to covid19 so far? just wondering.

If we had competent governments we wouldn’t need to rely on or wish for corporations or billionaires to be more generous.

“Net worth” is irrelevant, since most of that is illiquid assets. Iwiński can’t exactly donate those 12 million shares of stock as-is - they’re useless to charities and researchers. And liquidating that much stock in one go would drastically undercut the value - it’d be going for pennies a share by the end, which…

A lot of the comments here have gotten me emotional, but this one really set off the waterworks. Thank you.

Now that pretty much the entire game industry is delayed your work here is done.
