In this metaphor, a camera and a greenscreen would be analogous to power tools. YouTube is more like a giant billboard operator that, for reasons of its own, has decided to give the architect free rent on dozens of its signs. The architect really shouldn’t freak out if one of the lightbulbs goes unchanged for a while.

“This is people’s careers,” JackSepticEye explained. “To completely switch how you do things and not tell anybody is a shitty thing to do.”

To see justice done is its own reward.

It’s okay, Azurik. These two have it covered. Look, one of them’s even blue!

Video games are entertainment. Just because someone enjoys a WWII docu-drama doesn’t mean they’re going to grab a rifle and storm Normandy. Besides, it’s not as if stylized ultra-violence (and other ostensibly objectionable content) isn’t well-represented in Japanese games already.

I’d hesitate to call the people who write these stories journalists at all. They’re SEO opportunists, not real writers in any sense. None of the content is original, and it’s rarely sourced or checked for errors or updated info. It’s no coincidence that the quality of the copy itself is usually awful.

Those people have arms that are long enough to touch their knees without bending over. FREAKY AND WEIRD.

Some marketer has either

I’ve found that “crappy” entertainment news (games, movies, TV) is far more prevalent than outright fake news. For example, search for “Galavant Season 3" and you’ll find an article that takes three paragraphs to say that there is no season 3, and there never has been, but maybe someone will greenlight it eventually.…

YOU’RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE

Damn, you’re right. You’d have to hand wash it with a toothbrush every time.

The idea that every potential relationship absolutely requires a new portmanteau is deeply upsetting to me. Use your words, people.

I saw the first Pokemon movie in theaters almost 17 years ago. I was 12 years old. If you’d told me then that they’d still be making new movies and TV shows, to say nothing of a constant unbroken string of games for the better part of two decades, I wouldn’t have believed you.

That’s called a slippery slope argument. And here it doesn’t even apply, because you cannot and should not tell someone else what to do on their land. He’s not breaking any laws, he’s not causing a disturbance or an unsafe situation. Mow your lawn, paint your fence, and stop thinking about someone else’s property.

Yup. I love beating up on the newbie characters with my standby, then learning the new one at my own pace.

As someone who hasn’t touched Final Fantasy since FFX (and didn’t really enjoy it then either), I was thoroughly entertained. I feel like that’s pretty much my reaction to all the overdesigned JRPGs, ignorance of the genre aside.

I predict that Ubisoft Montreal is about to “lose” a lot of emails really quickly.

I read it as “whores,” then I thought I was projecting onto this weird-ass game, then I realized it was a typo.

Think of them as point-and-click adventure games without the (often unclear or illogical) inventory puzzles.

You seem to be deliberately missing my point, so I’ll say it again, slowly, so all the alleged grown-ups can understand: Kotaku is a site for video games. Video game discussions happen here. If it has nothing to do with video games, it probably belongs somewhere else.
