I guess Google’s trying to move hardware, because Stadia on the Nvidia Shield seems like it would have been a no-brainer.

I just don’t understand why, of all the different wrestling series going around in the late ‘90s/early aughts, was the worst series the one that became the annual installment with zero competition.

Does it have Monkey Billiards? When my wife and I were newlyweds too poor to go out we spent more time playing Monkey Billiards than I spent on every other GameCube game I ever owned combined.

You’re listing the reasons why the PS5's SSD makes me nervous. I put a 2TB Fire Cuda hybrid drive (which runs half the price of an SSD with half the storage) in my PS4 and I filled over a TB a long time ago. An SSD in the PS5 means a higher price tag on the console or constantly having to decide which game to…

This is the big reason why I’m more nervous than excited about Sony announcing that the PS5 will use an SSD.

Am I the only one nervous about 100GB discs installing onto an SSD? I mean, sure, SSDs have come down in price, but a 2TB hybrid is still cheaper than an SSD with half that storage.

and start learning about battery packs.

I just flew to China and back in August (from Detroit), around 12-13 hours each way, on a packed Airbus A350 (300+ passengers) and the lines for the restroom were never too bad; maybe the person in their and one or two waiting. It looks like Alaska Airlines uses a Boeing 737 to fly from JFK to LAX, and that’s a…

I thought it was because they couldn't get the license for Warhammer?

Not playing Ghost Recon, but I sympathize with a lot of this. I also prefer a little lighter on games that do the "make the thing barely visible" thing. I'm 40 now, I squint at the TV enough as it is.  And if I can have subtitles I'm turning them on. I'm sure the VA doing the stoic hero's low growl deserves an award,…

Too bad they're not still giving that much for the Old Switch. Might still have to do that anyway. I took my launch day Switch to China with me, and I was charging it like 2-3 times a day.

Ports of the NES, SNES, or mobile versions?

I spend most of my time in Be A Pro.  And you know what, I don’t even know why I’m making a big fuss about it.  I have a friend at EA, and while I don’t like feeling like I’m taking advantage of him I could always ask him to snag me a copy from the employee store.  Incremental upgrades are worth $10.

I’m a big hockey fan, and I’ve been playing NHL for years. I’ve bought every version for the current console generation, but I’m having trouble mustering the enthusiasm for NHL 20. How much of an improvement is it really over 19? Really thinking about skipping this year and waiting for NHL 21 and the Seattle expansion…

How does this list not include Timespinner or Mighty Gunvolt Burst?

And I think the younger you were, the more likely you were to buy into the notion that it was real found footage. Otherwise it was two hours of teenages swearing at each other on shakey-cam for minimal payoff.

Because there younger you were at the time of release the more likely you were to buy into the marketing at the time that the found footage was real. Or to find it even remotely scary.

The Kotaku staff seems to run a bit younger than I, so forgive my assumption, but I’m guessing you were a kid when you saw The Blair Witch Project? Because, while it was certainly influential in the way it spawned a number of “found footage” films and certainly a box office success, I’d argue (as someone who was in…

If I could make money by getting dudes to fap to me while I sit around in my undies while I play video games instead of getting dressed and going to a shitty job at too-damn-early in the morning I absolutely would.  Nothing pathetic about supplying demand in a market economy... there just isn’t a demand for chubby 40…

Yeah. I guess egirl is bad, but maybe it’s not bad, and that may or may not have something to do with “TikTok egirls,” (which may or may not be the same thing as regular egirls).
