IMO, Pokemon break / opening channels are extremely dangerous for kids, especially young kids. They promote endless, mindless consumption—just ripping pack after pack after pack and immediately ignoring 80% of the cards in each one. Most kids don’t understand why their parents won’t (or can’t) buy them as many packs…

An “Illustration Rare” is a regular Pokemon, and a “Special Illustration Rare” is a Pokemon ex. That’s why the Gardevoir ex was a Special and the Ralts and Kirlia weren’t.

Wow, did you just assume the year this movie takes place in?!?

“eBay is working closely with the seller of this rare Pokémon Illustrator card, and we can keep you informed should the card be re-listed,” a spokesperson for the PR firm repping the auction told Kotaku in an email.

But I can’t help but wonder if that $20,000 could be better spent on helping more people directly.

You can get regular-art Miriam for about 15 cents. This has absolutely nothing to do with playability.

I’m a huge fan of Tim Rogers, but a 6-hour review of Boku no Natsuyasumi was a hard pass from me. It seemed pretty clear early on that he could have trimmed it by about half and still gotten the same shock value from the length.

+1 for including Thank You for Smoking.
-1 for leaving out The Informant!

It’s baffling to me that TGA didn’t have a pre-sourced list of who is coming up on stage to accept on behalf of each game.

Wait until you find out what they do for most of the game trailers!

It’s like, we get it Kotaku. You’re still really bitter that Nintendo won’t give you advance codes for their games anymore. It’s super super unfair.

I mean, once he got that show on Fox about his restaurant and family, I figured he was going places.

When Heimdall is played well, it’s a thing of beauty. But move decks are incredibly easy to spot, since they use cards like Multiple Man, Vulture, Kraven, etc. that don’t work in other decks.

Cabin in the Woods! [pulls up Wikipedia] Crap, that was Chris.
How about Bad Times at the El Royale? [tabs back over] Damn, also Chris.

1000%. And if you’re Cavill, you take that deal every time. It’s Superman, FFS. I know Geralt is the role he’s always wanted to play, but Superman is the role he was born to play.
