Of course Ninja (and his wife/manager) would have negotiated a deal that maximized his income. It would have been stupid, and poor business, not to. That doesn’t mean it was “about the money.” Ninja was already a millionaire. He was already set for life before the move from Twitch to Mixer, both from his insane Twitch…

I assume people have already thought of this, but as soon as I saw “marathon,” I immediately thought of Bungie’s 1994 shooter, Marathon.

Your second paragraph hits hard. One of the biggest issues with the church right now is that right-wing, hyprocritical “Christian” pastors don’t care about breaking the “no politics in church” rule (or any other rules for that matter), and will openly defend and support Trump from the pulpit. Whereas, biblical…

This is what I needed this morning.

I want all of them.

I was so confused about why you and others are suddenly leaving... then I saw a tweet about Spanfeller and googled a bit. WOW. Fuck that guy. I already tweeted at you that I’ll follow you work wherever you go, and now I’m even more committed! I can’t wait to see where you end up!

Wow. I am really sad that one of your best pieces is going to be your last piece. I had just a taste of games journalism for a few years, and then off-and-on via KoTAYku here (writing for fun/as a hobby is quite different, of course). It is honestly amazing to me that any game journalism sites still exist these days,…

Huh, everyone with me loved that scene... two different groups in two different showings. What was so bad about showing that Leia was a badass Jedi at one point? I don’t understand the hate for most of this movie, but this seems like an odd thing to call out as being “frankensteined” in. It was such a short, cool…

This is great. Honestly it’s often really hard to follow many of the glitches speedrunners use, so I would love to see more stuff like this in the future!

Incredible piece. Don’t stop writing, and I won’t stop telling immature, low-confidence gamer boys to fuck off when they say misogynistic shit online. My wife is as much of a video game fan as I am, and has dealt with sexual harassment in varying degrees almost her entire life. This shit needs to stop.

I went to YT for recaps of the first two games, then bought the GotY edition for $15 on Xbox, and have been absolutely blown away. I’m over 50 hours in, and I feel like I’m maybe 10% done with the game... and that’s being generous... and not counting the two massive DLC additions!

I honestly can’t imagine working on the same project for 7 years, but I’m glad all that work paid off (literally and figuratively). I always wonder about the risks of adding crazy stretch goals to Kickstarters. I supported the Dark Souls board game kickstarter, and just received all the stretch goal content last week…

thank you for reminding me of this masterpiece.

When I stopped playing due to boredom about 6 weeks ago, I completely forgot that I hadn’t completed the pass enough to unlock that dope vex armor set for my Titan. RIP.

Cecilia did some of the most important reporting in the past decade, and not just for the games industry! She will be missed here, but I hope she continues writing/reporting elsewhere.

Thank you for continuing to report on this crap. It grosses me out that I continue to see Riot pushed in other media as the “cool game studio.” I threw up in my mouth when I saw their involvement in HBO’s Ballers show... but I guess it was also kind appropriate to see them associated with a show about rich, womanizing…

It’s weird, because I love glowing peripherals for consoles, but think they’re incredibly lame and tacky for PCs.

The game is very much worth playing, and experiencing the surprise at the end for yourself is different than seeing a snippet of it on a commercial. It’s so damn good.

It looked fucking terrifying. Easily the most visibly beautiful episode yet. This show is so damn good!

Just finished watching. Fucking incredible.
