Mike Fahey was the first gaming journalist’s byline I remembered and looked for.

Hey Ish, hope you’re doing okay. Why did you leave? Any plans on returning?
If not, good luck and best wishes.
Sorry, using this to seeing if I’ve been greyed or whatever . If this still works, great; if not, well, it’s been a largely fun ride everyone.
Absolutely. I would never claim that Kotaku is perfect, because people are fallible, but I’d rather take the odd misstep as part and parcel of the essentially great and rigorous work they do. And yes, Kotaku’s broader perspective beyond just the games (as you say, it’s very much a lens) sets it apart.
Heather, this is my favourite review of yours in a while out of consistently great articles; it’s wonderful and insightful. Tim, I’m only twenty-odd minutes into the hour, but it’s typically playfully elegant and soothing to listen to.

My dad remembers, for one, having watched Thunderbirds in the 60s. He passed that interest on to my brother and I when we were young. Honestly, the whole production is so damn impressive.
Tim, I have never played KH. I possibly never will. I have been looking forward to this review immensely, however. Thank you for your continued efforts.
As other people have said, it is already the most profitable franchise of all time by quite a margin in the space of 23 years ($90 billion). Though it never really went away, the cultural permeation of Pokémon has been reinvigorated over the last few years with stuff like Pokémon Go ($2 billion last September). So the…
I do not have anything insightful to add, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading this review and its succinct framing of the show in the context of both Conan’s legacy and persona. It was possibly inevitable for you to do so given the impetus for Conan shifting to the new format, but phrases like, “it…
As with most live-action anime/manga adaptations, this movie will probably not keep my ideals alive, but definitely will make me question what’s going on.
It’ll probably be fun, but imagine if it were Big Trouble in Little Christmas or Escape from North Pole instead.
See, I thought that as well, because textbooks frequently implore people to not use a singular they, but it’s apparently been in use since the 1300s. But you could be right that in response to the rigidness of not using they singularly, ey/eir/em appeared. Thanks for the reply!
I just learnt about Spivak pronouns thanks to this article, so cheers Beth. :)
Out of sincere curiosity, and please if those who know could help, is there a particular reason for using “ey/eir/em”, over singular “they/their/them”? Are the latter inadequately descriptive in particular ways, so substitutes in the form of…
To add to the chorus, yes, you should watch Clone Wars. Watching CW in chronological order starting with S2E16 and S1E16 before the pilot movie, rather than the episode order of each season, mitigates the choppiness of the early season. The nature of the series, skipping around between characters, leads to some arcs…
Well then I hope your week and month picks up too :)
Just wanted to say thanks for the internet warmth. Have a good Thursday (and Friday and weekend)!
I saw this and just started crying. It’s been a particularly rough month or so, but this is brilliantly uplifting.

She should team up with Stitch.
Nintendo’s going to extraordinary lengths for this Pokémon announcement, getting Bethesda in on the action.
