Amazing news. Also, Link doesn't seem nearly Skyward Swordy enough. What gives? They should contemporize the models to the newest games.

Looks like the first thing my character is going to steal is some antidepressants.

"Honor and death go together like hot sauce and my balls," is - after "PlayStation 4 will support used games" and "Mega Man has joined the battle" - the best line I've heard from E3.

Relax doesn't specifically connote "let this happen to you." It just means "become at ease." I don't know how else I can answer this, considering I already did. Also I don't have time to keep talking, I have to go to work. So for sake of convenience, I'll concede. You're right. It wasn't an inappropriate remark and…

"Let it happen" = a reversal of will. Rape is unwilling sex.

"Let it happen" makes it worse, thank you for correcting me. It paints a completely one-sided overpower where a person lets something happen to him instead of continuing to struggle against it, as he'd been doing.

It still would've been analogous to rape. It's a situation where one party is helpless and overpowered and enduring unpleasantness. Rewatch the clip before you spill any additional Cheetohs learning words and phrases have, get this, subtext.

I forgot. Misunderstanding and being ignorant of subtext helps everyone.

Was it within the context of him dominating and overpowering you against your best efforts? It's a comfort to know that in the middle of coerced or forced sex, someone telling his victim "relax" and "it will all be over soon" may simply mean he finds the act as innocuous as childhood vaccinations.

I totally missed it in the tons of posts that were released.

Likening an unpleasant situation with a man in control to a situation where one would need to "relax," take it, with an assurance that the unpleasantness would "all be over soon..." I really don't know how that could be interpreted as anything but. I'm sorry I may look like a fucking idiot, but apparently you are one.

Pretending "relax, it'll all be over soon" doesn't have rapey connotations and then positing that to imply otherwise is to insult rape survivors is maybe the dumbest logic reversal I've ever read. Good work.

A man is beating a woman at Killer Instinct. He says, "It'll all be over soon, just take it," something to that effect.

Microsoft had a scripted rape joke and Kotaku hasn't written six articles about it yet? You guys are off your game. That was a legitimately tasteless remark.

I don't even buy used games, but I am so compulsive about keeping my game collection a bonsai of titles I love. If I bought a game that I turned out not liking, and I could never get rid of it because a publisher didn't want me to, and I had stare at it in my alphabetized library, I would be so goddamn pissed. Xbone…

Point 4: It's Konami. Might I direct you to their E3 2010? We probably are being misled though, your points are all totally valid. I hope we are, because I totally buy Hayter's left-out, hangdog tweets.

He'd probably make a fine, gravelly-voiced protagonist and I'd be completely fine with that... If we lived in a world where you couldn't get David Hayter (probably cheaper, too). Maybe they didn't like Hayter having so much control over the mindshare of the IP?

I cannot divorce the role of Snake from the performance of David Hayter, and I could not care less who they get to replace him. His absence, like Conroy's in Arkham Origins, severely hampers the connection I have with the material.

The Vita is definitely getting a price cut (or hardware iteration). Best Buy is offering a $50 gift card with purchase of one, next week Gamestop is doing the same, and Target has been incentivizing Vita purchases with price slashes the last few weeks.

Can we call a commonwealth the parent country? I don't know how Puerto Rico's sovereignty works.
