Don't forget the obligatory:
No way man monitor X is like the best you are just a <insert youtube comment insult here> with your mom's cousin's husband's sister's daughter's former roommate. I hope you die.

OOOoooh, now I need to go reinstall Deus Ex...
That would only work if the gun would split into nine different guns and start firing in a carefully choreographed rhythm that consisted on no less than three different costume changes.
Wait... are you calling something in Saints Row IV overpowered?
What really worries me about our current climate - political, cultural, and otherwise - is that it is VERY easy to raise an 'army' to fight against a perceived injustice. With much of the world now involved online, you only need a few hundred people to agree with you to cause holy hell for anyone. Pick an issue,…
Everyone is offended by something. The problem with popularity and the internet is that you get a huge audience to speak to, and you will eventually offend one of them. With the rise in 'mob justice' for everything, it is very simple to skip a legit dialog and jump right to 'boycott' mode.
Anything for early adopters? A smile maybe? Perhaps a heartfelt pat on the back?
I'm going to prattle here, please forgive me...
I am hoping for a 3DS solution as well, but I know many others are not - a number of folks are hoping for a 'pure' Pokemon experience this time around, and I can really respect that.
At the same time... man, Pokemon games are REALLY slow. If you don't have the hours of free time per day to dedicate to them, you don't…
Welcome fellow cheater! Sit, let's talk about our shameful habits and why we, the few, are not cheating douchebags...
I started my cheaty cheat ways back when the original Galoob Game Genie came out for the NES. Ah, those were the times - I was popular at school because I had one. It gave us a chance to actually…
I'm on my... 5th? Yes, 5th home built desktop machine specifically built for gaming. The most I've ever spent on a single system was $1200. Now, it is important to note that that doesn't include the cost of a keyboard, mouse, monitor, or OS - those 4 items tend to transfer from box to box. Also, I only spent $1200…
Now we just need Andy Dick and we'll have the trifecta of beloved comedians!
Stephen Totilo also made a statement that he wanted kotaku to be a place where gamers feel welcome. I realize my political leanings are unpopular on the internet, but I make it a point to keep them to myself (for the most part - at the very least, I don't lob the first stone). Posts like this, however, are heavily…
Wow. This is why these discussions - and these types of stories - should not appear on KOTAKU, a website dedicated to gaming.
Hm, I've written a half-dozen or so responses to this, but I can't think of any way to respond to this post that won't devolve into pointless internet arguments.
Gabe Newell walks up to the mic.
"Half-Life Three"
Gabe Newell walks away from the mic.
Crowd explodes.
(Sorry, pipedream)
This is one thing that gets me in this day and age. Your qualifier about 'defending EA' after snarking about them. It has become necessary for people to mention something along the lines of "Normally I love X, but..." or "I'm not a hater, I just think Y is..." whenever they make a derisive comment about a…
Riiiight, but we weren't discussing Japan vs. US, we were simply discussing fanbases for age-group-centric media as a cultural norm. I brought up Japan's cultural view on anime as an example. I could have easily mentioned Lego, classic video games, nerf guns - pretty much any staple of nerddom can have the same…
It's a fandom. Fandom has a range of extremes. They're on the internet. You're on the internet. Voila.
But the question is - if you understand that not all Bronies creep you out, why do you let all of them creep you out?
For funsies, look up the term 'deductive fallacy.'
1. Some Bronies are creepers
2. I hate…
