Ok, I'll give you that.

Never been done!

Ignore the haters and keep Kotaku East. I mean... "Kotaku" is a play on otaku, right?

Agreed. In my mind, this is no different ethically from creating a detailed rape simulator to show the victim's face of agony or zoom-ins of the violence to her nether regions. Oh, but these are Nazis?... yeah, that changes nothing. Would we feel okay with a rape simulator of Nazi women? Nope, they're still…

Reading the headline, I... thought of Alex Mack, and hoped it was news that she'd gone onto an erotic career. But in reality she's just married to Ken Cosgrove (also of LA Noir) on Mad Men.

I stand corrected on that. I guess I've just been spoiled by the iPad's larger screen for bringing a TV show to the bed, but good point about the comparable size to the iPhone, which people surely do use for Netflix.

A... unicorn? Steve Jobs was a replicant, confirmed.

I prefer this definition of pandering, because it's cuter and I like slant rhymes. Hurr.

The first video was greatly superior and at least showed off a decent dance. See her running through it in adulterated form here.

Seriously? What's the problem?

This is a very confusing article. I had to look up the details of the Japanese service to be sure I understood what was happening.

I'm not so sure about the particular game, but I'm all in favor now of a Shakespeare-heavy adventure. Someone go nab Kenneth Branagh and convince him to headline one, and I shall be there forthwith.

Hmm... I'm not sure what to think. Maybe I just don't feel the flow of his verses because of his style of delivery, and that makes the lyrics seem too slow, deliberate and heavy handed... or something. But I'll step off and respect that I haven't heard enough of his work to have the full picture.

Well, I respect what they're doing, and I know some of these other guys have plenty of depth to them... but Kanye? I'm no expert on the guy, but I still haven't heard so much as a stanza from him that seemed particularly clever or well delivered. Heck, I just watched the entire blood diamond thing embedded above and…

I'm afraid this post falls into the usual trap of defining fixed, "real" sexual desires as those of biology, while implying that any desires created by the cultural context are somehow malleable and less of an inherent, unchangeable part of the desiring person. That's not true at all.

That grid thing is very similar in function to the Tenori-on. The drawing-lines bit reminds me of my favorite Electroplankton mini-game.

Just give it a cute avatar to interact with so everyone isn't waving at a static wall of web content.

I shall watch this Dinosaur Office, and I shall enjoy it as always.

I almost had a moment of panic as well—he meant that the price drop doesn't go into effect until the 20th, which is after Mother's Day; but yes, you have until this weekend to find a way to honor thy mother.
