Thanks for posting this Toovs. It really added to the conversation. Hopefully you’ll get a lot of internet points for it.

And most of the time they’re not simply doing it to “watch someone play a game”. I’m going to assume that in any case

“I quit my job helping kids because I wasn’t getting everything I wanted now I’m grown man who plays video games all day so that some of those same kids give me what little money they have”

I am so over contemporary game culture. Hanging out in a chat room while someone plays a game that maybe you don’t have? Sure; I…

First, speaking as an educator, I can totally understand why someone would leave the profession in a heartbeat, depending on the subject they teach.

I’m an English professor. I primarily teach Rhetorical Composition (academic argument/formal logic) and Literature. The absolute shit that so many people believe passes…

Development nightmares aside, a good game was still produced, so the dev process didn’t kill the franchise. Internet trolls and meme culture are what killed it.

Three cheers for toxic fanbases and the inability to be happy with anything. More than any flaws in the game, that’s what killed Mass Effect.

In all fairness, Andromeda wasn’t bad

Sony’s presentations are great at making me excited about PlayStation and then the months/years of waiting are great at squashing all of that excitement.

That was truly incredible to Widnes

Only 170 fans had the privilege of seeing this minute live, but thank god at least one of them had the awareness to film it.

Shout out to Shenmue, a virtual vacation to 80's Japan as well as the now-demolished Kowloon in the second game.

This is why I’m so excited to play Assassins Creed Origins free roam no enemy mode.

How does a guy who basically quits his job then calls other future employers slave owners and expect to get a job. When does personal responsibility come into effect here. Have we even heard from him besides cryptic tweets in a year?

What’s his end game? Sue the League in federal court for damages? How can he claim he’s suffered damages after he walked out on his own contract? Force a team to sign him? Does he think a judge would even want to make that decision?

Are you kidding me? The patience he showed waiting for the play to set up was fantastic. Then at just the right time with lightening quick precision, he made his move and just flicked it right onto Jozy’s foot.

To be fair, Feilhaber never should have been out of it...I understand he’s totally unlikable in the locker room, but after Pulisic he’s probably the most skilled American out there.

I don’t think it would be good for the US to lose. If they don’t qualify, the World Cup gets cancelled and that isn’t fair to the other countries who made it.

I call fake. The guy is a character actor.

I’ve also noticed that a lot of Kotaku’s articles are “inspired” by Reddit posts......

Yeah. Kotaku has been getting pretty shitty about this stuff lately.
