TBH the site looks like it was a ROM Universe in name and a Pirate Bay in reality. If you’re charging money for access to the latest movies and games - that you don’t have distribution rights for - whilst living in America, then “absolutely boggling, dude” is about as polite as it gets.

I always wondered this about lawsuits like these. Obviously Nintendo is never going to get that much money from the guy. Is he on the hook for that money for life or can he just declare bankruptcy to get rid of it? 

Scabs hired to be yes men to the dumbasses in charge of G/O Media get no clicks from me.

As much as I support keeping old games alive via emulation, especially for games that we all know are never going to see a rerelease, everything this guy in particular did seemed to be stupid decisions.

Not to sound like I'm defending Tr*mp, but that button wasn't his addition, he's just a disgusting person who used it for Diet Coke. It's just a button to alert the staff.

Leaving this here. To anyone says being antagonized is “part of the job” for fame, success, making big money, blah blah blah you’re missing the point. Some journalists are out to provoke because the bad/nasty reaction gets the headline. It’s a manipulative move and journalism can exist with integrity without it.

Came to say exactly this. I don’t condone her character or her actions, but it would be foolish for anyone in her position to not at least try and get some settlement funds from her former employer. signed, a labor and employment attorney.

Congratulations on being able to accomplish a goal you never thought you could. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

According to Mark Pedowitz, the CW’s Powerpuff Girls pilot is being retooled for being “a little too campy” and “not feeling as rooted in reality as it might have.”

Oh good, I was really worried a new adaptation of the Powerpuff Girls, where three superhero sisters are created by some scientist dumping a bunch of shit in a big pot and they fight a talking green monkey and a satan-drag-crab, would be too unrealistic.

Does this mean they're finally making a Beebo toy?

She did manage to clarify that the scene was originally planned to be even more horrific than what we ended up seeing on screen, as it was supposed to end with undead knight the Mountain (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) raping Unella

Joey and Ross don’t even register on the good friend meters because they were both incredibly self-absorbed and consumed by their careers.

Ross is way worse than Chandler.

Looking forward to the Kotaku musings of Graythan Nason soon

Moving is stressful enough and now you have to leave the country and assume a new identity. Thoughts and Prayers.

Very excited for this.

Dudes need to have personality to get even a fraction of the viewers.

But see, here is where I argue you’re falling into their moral panic trap.

If Twitch wants to ban people in lace bras in kiddie pools, that’s fine. They should do that. But they didn’t say that, they just acted judiciously in this case, with no warning or policy to back them up. In a few days they’ll issue a statement…

I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on Twitch, but right now it still seems like a place where independent creators could turn up, and if they have a neat idea, take, or gimmick, they could make a living. In a way similar to how Youtube was ten years ago.

The barrier of entry has certainly gotten higher, but it’s…
