Yup. Literally never been like “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKK!!!!......no. No wait. That wasn’t enough. I better yell the N word.”

It’s the Browns. This is like Schrödinger’s Draft Pick. Whoever they choose has a 50% chance of being a dead cat.
Wish I could star all of this 100 times, but especially this:
Said it before, and I’ll say it again: every criticism of this game boils down to “a 90s-style platformer pitched on being a 90s-style platformer plays like a 90s-style platformer.” It’s obvious that you didn’t want a 90s-style platformer. Having actually played the game now, I can confidently say that the game is…
Banjo Kazooie is exactly the game I remember playing all those years ago, and it was when I bought it on the arcade store for 360, and it was when I bought the rare replay. Yooka-Laylee is exactly what I expected and wanted.
Wow, I’m done. I’m done with Kotaku. I don’t care about this game (too old for nostalgia of that period of games), but I do care about pseudo-intellectual tripe masquerading as insight. I know you won’t post this comment, because you don’t believe in open discussion, but as a philosophy professor I just wanted to…
Have to disagree with that opening statement: Banjo Kazooie is exactly how I remember it as I still play it every year or two to this day. I realize you’re making a point about rose-tinted glasses distorting our memories but Banjo was and still is exceptionally good for what it set out to be.
I think that Coke commercial worked much better because it didn’t over-reach. All it said was, Americans come from all over the world, but they all love America...and Coke.
And did you notice the “join the conversation” protest sign? Who the fuck talks like that outside of social media marketing? It’s beyond tone-deaf.
Cops in ball hats and t-shirts, none the less. None of the storm-trooper looking, riot-geared out, militarized police that actually show up to most protests.
“I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke” was also a perfect piece of advertising—spot on, prescient, and utterly memorable. The Pepsi thing, though? No.
True. They could have still had the protestors, but it was the ending where she “broke bread” with the cop and a Pepsi that did it. That unity, that camaraderie doesn’t exist. If it had just been the protestors drinking Pepsi together while protesting, walking through the streets and holding signs, I don’t think it…
It failed because this kind of ad proposes unity and camaraderie between two groups. This made sense with anti-war sentiment with Hilltop. It doesn’t make sense now. Protestors don’t want camaraderie with police, to make up and leave each other be. They want justice.
A YouTuber thought he could go toe-to-toe with actual journalists for a newspaper that’s won 39 Pulitzer Prizes, and, surprise surprise, has egg on his face for not verifying everything that his sources told him.
The problem here is that youtubers aren’t use to this sort of attention. For years they were celebrities in their own little bubble. You either subscribed to their channel and liked everything they did or you just didn’t bother following them. Anyone who would call out something a big youtuber did as bad or stupid was…
I would like to provide another friendly reminder to everyone here that major brands pulling their ads off Youtube are not a violation of any YouTubers’ free speech. This is because only the government is prevented from restricting free speech. To say that businesses are violating the free speech of bigots by pulling…
Saw this play out over on Reddit this weekend. I really dislike this trend of moving the goalposts instead of just admitting the mistake. This seems to be a trend among the youtubers- Admit fault and amend with a BUT...
I feel like all these problems with YouTube could be solved, or at least mitigated somewhat, if they just told people what the fuck they’re doing. They seem to be almost allergic to transparency, and it’s gonna end up seriously hurting them in the long run. They roll out these huge changes with no warning and no…
Stop caring about money and your ability to pay bills or put a roof over your family’s head.
Solid advice bro.
