One thing about the article, and one about the ad. Hey Kotaku, allowing ads to actually block your stories has forced my hand. I wasn't using ad blocker on your site because I wanted to help you out by clicking on an ad once in awhile, but this goes too far, so I've put your site back on the ad blocker list. That's…

That is true, but I can give a bit of anecdotal evidence here. I used to play WoW (for 5 or 6 years, I didn't count). Anytime a new game came out that I was interested in, I would go off and play it for however long, but I'd leave my subscription active in case I got a bug up my ass and felt like playing for a couple…

No, I don't think they will. I think that the WoW players that are excited about Diablo bought the 1-year subscription that came with the free copy of Diablo. So, even if they aren't actively playing WoW, their subscriptions will remain active.

I never have preordered, and I never will. It's a stupid practice.

Hey, if I bent the way you do, I'd also probably hide behind a wall of text filled with rationalizations as well. You seem to put a lot of passion into hating Bioware, a kind of hatred that betrays that it's something that you also hate about yourself. If it gets you through the day, fine, just never look in the…

I'm a professional artist as well. If I feel like doing different drafts or deciding that a mistake should stay because it actually feels better than my original intent, that's my call. If I bend to someone's will to change what I know to be in line with my vision, then I have no integrity. If you make changes that go…

That's not how games are made, man. There are several writers on every game, not just one. It's not a book.

Hey, you on the high horse, if you don't like piracy, don't do it. If you don't accept legit reasons for doing it, don't do it. You are responsible for your own actions, but you don't get to dictate what anyone else does or the reasons that they do it.

Twitter is a window into what people are actually saying when they're in the middle of a road rage rant writ large. It's first impulse thought that's actually followed through.

Personally, I'm disappointed that they folded to the whiners at all. I would have preferred that they held onto their artistic integrity. Go ahead and hate it, but it is what it is. Changing art after the fact reminds me of George Lucas and everything I don't like about him.

A gamer is a gamer. Just because he may lapse from gaming from time to time doesn't make him any less a gamer. Call him annoying or a douche, fine. But, don't accuse the guy of being a fake gamer as he's not.

A woman sexualizes herself and then has self-esteem issues about her decision? Nope, couldn't see that coming. Never happened before.

You would have had a point had the DLC they released to expand the story not be free. But, it is free, so you don't have a point.

Hmmm, this is a good question :::scratches my head under my Nike hat::: maybe I'll Google it on my Dell computer or my HTC phone. Or, I could just jump in my Toyota after I grab my Eddie Bauer back pack, and ask other people at a store like Best Buy or Wal-Mart what they think of this phenomena. Seems like a lot of…

You do know the reason that G4 originally hired him, right? He used to run a Sega fan website. Say what you want about the guy, but he's definitely a gamer.

IMHO, Torchlight was better than Diablo and Diablo 2. I really enjoyed it. And, having your pet take stuff to sell for you was such an awesome thing. :)

I prefer mine, it makes me feel better. Have a good day, man. :)

It depends on how it's portrayed. For instance, when Lucy Liu is slapped hard in the movie, "Ransom" and turns back smiling with a bit of blood on her lip... that's kind of sexy. But, watching the wife in "Once Were Warriors" being brutally beaten around the house was very unsettling.

I'll read that as, "Sir, you have a salient point. I hadn't really thought about it in that way before. In fact, I'll read up on Nuremberg now as you've ignited a sudden interest in history in my soul. Thank you for that, I'll be forever in your debt."

In Soviet Russia, Bro fists you. ;)
