The thing about competitive trash-talk is that it comes in “levels.” Those levels are divided into what’s appropriate amongst friends who know each other well enough to be able to accept a barb without taking offense, mixed groups of friends and acquaintances where more care is warranted, groups of strangers where…

Global And National Defense Hypernet Intelligence, or G.A.N.D.H.I.

Meanwhile, in Japan...

Arguments are moot. Not reading a contract doesn’t mean you are not to be upheld by them. It’s not the 14 year old they are suing it’s the lying 14 year old they are suing whom, when they agreed to the terms, stated they were legal age.

You should seek psychiatric help rather than waiting on a corporation to acknowledge your toxicity for some sort of self satisfaction.

Millions of people, yes. And while it’s certainly not for everyone, dismissing it is silly.

Church goers are racist hypocrites. What a shock!

When I go to Martial Arts conventions I don’t expect to be challenged to kumite every 6th step when walking. Instead I walk around the floor unbothered until I enter a seminar about a topic I want to learn.

Shut the fuck up you shill/hack; their excuse is bullshit and FAMILIES with children didn’t buy this system and if they did they can go fuck themselves and play games on a newer system meant for cooperative play in the 21st century. Jesus Christ you’re a fucking shill.

You know, your thoughtful comment is why I wish I could engage more on Kotaku.

A lot of commenters have suggested that in previous articles. A thick skin is necessary for online gaming, don’t get me wrong, but these commenters fail to understand that harassment in games is a reflection of a real-life culture that pays women less in the workplace, resists healthcare coverage of birth control (but…

Quite to the contrary, I would argue that the most fun part of Hearthstone is when you’re learning to play.

The best part of Hearthstone is uninstalling and doing nearly anything else with the hundreds of dollars required to stay viable for longer than the latest patch.

Yes, the story is a big draw. I want to know what happens! The stakes seem high.

Not all content is made equal. I felt that DAI disrespected my time with filler stuff that didn’t really make an impact or even represent what the game was ‘about.’ I’m playing dozens of hours of Zelda, but the game is packed with mysteries / charm, so it doesn’t feel like a waste of my time - I am still discovering…

When you play the game, he has a charming personality. I’m not thirsty for fictional characters myself, but I see the appeal of a relentlessly positive and chipper dude with a shiny smile and an eight pack.
