My “Ero-Kawaii” shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

What do the game developers have to do with the Chinese government? The devs are just trying to make a living and pay the bills just like everyone else.

The “oh yeah, but look over there” argument is the consistent one that the coinbros trot out, leading me to believe that it is what they consider to be their best argument.

Shit, just look at this comments section. I didn’t know that there were so many MH apologists on this site. Some folks understand that the game has a steep learning curve and isn’t welcoming to new players. Others are just outright dismissing the article because an outsider couldn’t get past the notorious high barrier…

Monster Hunter has one of the worst gatekeeping communities in any game series, and I say this as someone who has played since 2nd Gen. I made a post on the MH subreddit that it was a little disappointing that Rise went back to old mechanics/systems that were improved in World and was basically insulted and called not…

I will never get this fucking weird “git gud” gatekeeping attitude.

Sure, but it’s more likely to impact a baseball fan.

I think the lack of payoff is my biggest complaint.

Yeah, the remaining io9 writers are pretty hard on franchise content that isn’t part of their collective MCU boner. Remember when it was a great site for fucking book reviews?

“Look, of course the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany is seen as somewhat controversial nowadays, but people forget that most of the deaths during WW2 were the result of people defending themselves.”

Well you’re half right anyways, since the original commenter’s point is actually awful and basically nonexistent. Hundreds of different game related media sites will pick up on this regardless of whether Kotaku does or not. It’s already been reported on dozens of times, many of the websites getting way more traffic…

You’re right, Nintendo would have no idea about this project without browsing Kotaku, and the creators of the project want it to be such a big secret that they made a ten minute video about it and posted it on a public forum to advertise it.

Look the question isn’t “why doesn’t AV Club cover The Simpsons anymore?” because that’s fucking obvious. The real question is “why does AV Club still cover Saturday Night Live?”

It’s super easy to condemn violence out one side of your mouth while fanning the flames of racism through fearmongering and conspiracy theorizing against China.

If KK is punk, then “punk” has no meaning.  And also is dead.

Why are some people so salty about this movie being the top earner of all time anyway?

I haven’t watched Avatar since it was first in the theaters, but if you gave me the option to watch it or nearly any other Marvel film, I’d choose Avatar. At the very least it has an exciting action set piece in the third act, something Marvel has been incapable of doing over the course of like twenty movies.

As first noted by sports blog Defector,

I too enjoyed the Mandarin twist in IM3 but I’m also of the opinion that MCU/Star Wars fans are way too precious and could stand to be trolled a bit more by creators, so I’m not the best person to ask.

If you’re looking for something that’s very Dynasty Warriors right now — something that’s REALLY GOOD — try John Woo’s Red Cliff (about the battle known in the game as the Battle of Chibi). I’ve never seen a war movie that so well illustrated the art of tactics. It’s actually two movies, and I think there’s a…
