There is nothing wrong with sincere thoughts and prayers. Trashing people of faith is childish and will turn them off to your arguments and you will NEVER win them over. Never. Do you want progress, or do you just want to wallow in partisan bickering? The debate over gun control laws should focus on enforcing existing…

It’s a stretch to say “literally” now means “figuratively.” It’s used for non-specific emphasis with no regard to its meaning, with the result that it is often used to set off metaphors. It doesn’t mean “figuratively” in that instance, though - it doesn’t mean anything.

Japan makes games set in the US, why can’t the west do the same?

You know, some of (if not all) the best fantasy medieval europe games come from Japan, I wonder if some western devs took a gamble and made a medieval fantasy japan, would that actually help? Cause I think there’s gold a-waitin’

White people are capable of doing research, too.

You can read my overall takeaway just above where it says “About the Author,” and below where it says “South Park: The Fractured But Whole: The Kotaku Review”!

Even just putting Link’s Awakening and Pokemon Gold on it would make it sell more than NES and SNES mini combined. Not counting it’s gonna be an handheld console, it’s going to…

Kevin, I’m terribly glad to see another of your Peanuts articles. They’ve consistently been enjoyable and insightful - I’d never considered Marcy as deeply as you did, and I’d forgotten a lot of Peppermint Patty’s less surface characteristics. Hope you’ve got more in the pipeline!

It’s convenient, cheap, and authentic. Those are the biggest selling points. I’ve played many of these games on emulators over the years, but there’s something nice about having them all on a little box that uses proper SNES controllers. This makes it way easier to play, say, Super Mario World with friends or my…

This is a fair point, and maybe the bottom 16 would be ranked a bit differently if I had played different games growing up, but the top 5 are masterpieces no matter when you play them.

Stephen has wanted to do this for a while, and getting requests from readers like you helped too! So thanks!

Who's that?
