You've drawn out an already complicated issue, as Luis pointed out.

Same issue here. I'm sorry Kotaku, I hate the redesign, but I can accept it. Change happens.

I tried the 3DS for the first time at the GDC on Wednesday. Oh dear. The Nintendo rep flipped the 3D switch and my right eye immediately started twitching and tweaking out, making me feel cross-eyed and broken. So I guess I have the same issue as you, Brian, to a much worse degree.

...until just enough of them die, and the ecosystem breaks. That's when it is really funny!

Obviously those are bigger problems, but this sort of thing is still stupid and should be unacceptable. Even if the balloons are biodegrabable, I doubt they degrade fast enough for something to not eat it first and suffocate or choke to death.

It's a serious issue. The Bay Area has a ton of marine life that could potentially be in danger due to a reckless and unnecessary stunt.

I think that is why he put "next gen" in quotes. Because they really aren't, at least in terms of gameplay.

They're going to the Game Developers Conference, which takes place next week in the Moscone Center.

Just because they haven't made a good video game movie yet doesn't mean that there won't ever be one. Maybe Dead Island would pioneer this? Hopefully Uncharted, as well, although I believe Russel's plot still needs tweaking based on that whole "international family of intrigue" bullshit.

You should take some of your own advice.

Activision doesn't own Bungie. Bungie was smart enough to set up a publishing deal. After being owned by Microsoft, they vowed to remain an independent studio from here on out. Basically, Activision will over see the distribution of the game they are developing, and that is it. Bungie even gets to maintain the IP…

The prices are comparable to the Halo 3 map packs, which were 800 Microsoft points and had 3 maps as well.

Considering that Harmonix created Guitar Hero in the first place, they have to feel a little sad to see a franchise they created be put under. At the same time, I think they have always known that Activision would rape Guitar Hero into dust and have made it their business to always innovate while Activision chose to…

I'm sure it will be about as replayable as Red Dead Redemption or Grand Theft Auto. I highly doubt the overall game's story will change dramatically between different playthroughs.

I think the important distinction is that Walmart is a company as opposed to the country. Just because Walmart doesn't sell uncensored music doesn't mean you can't get it from Best Buy, Amazon, iTunes, or wherever else you would choose to purchase music. We are given a choice. Walmart has self-imposed censorship. …

Are you sure you read what the Squid had to say? He honestly isn't saying anything offensive. He actually brings up a really important issue.

I watched this happen live on KTVU 2 while getting ready for school yesterday. My girlfriend and I were eating cereal and we watched this shenanigans unfold.

@4nth0ny: If you enjoyed the first one, the second is amazing. Buy it now.

@P05TMAN: It isn't fun or original. Neither are those standard military shooter types.
