Why is Massive’s statement about The Division not being political such a sticking point with the Kotaku staff?  It’s almost impossible to find an article about the game that doesn’t make a dig at this.  I don’t understand the criticism, if not thinly veiled hostility, Kotaku holds for Massive.

Maybe they should have bribed her way into cosmetology school.

Isn’t she the new “it” girl for this brand:

I mean, couldn’t they take what they paid this dude and give it to one of the schools as a “donation” for a lab or scholarship or something? Isn’t that the old school way of bribing your way in? Maybe not HARVARD, but surely it would’ve worked at like, Brown or Cornell?  Why even go through this middle man?

Agreed. Now don’t get me wrong, USC is a really great school. But if you were going to spend a half million on a bribe to get into college, why not shot for an Ivy, or at least Stanford?  Or does it take more than that now? I don’t really know...

This is rather cynical even for me, but I wonder if her biggest concern right now might not be her mom likely getting jail time, USC kicking her out, or even the internet mob coming after her with a vengeance - but rather that her social media money trough dries up because of this.

hahaha right? It looks like a pre-audition tape for the Real Housewives, like she already knows the trajectory of her life.

Those cheek highlights are not great advertising for her palette.

Who's Loughlin now?

Kirpa: Cassie’s not ready.

It’s really sad to me that the response to a lot of these comments is “well do you expect them to go away any time soon?” I mean, I get the framing of the article: loot boxes exist and aren’t going away, here’s how this Call of Duty game does it “better” than other CoDs.

But the issue is that for many players, the…

This is just my opinion, but I actually prefer the way they handled lootboxes in the original release of Modern Warfare.

Adding lootboxes to a game not originally designed to have them, for the sole purposes of pressuring players to spend more money, is doing them the right way??  This article feels like the microtransaction equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome.

When an actor can out mustache Tom Selleck he should automatically get an Oscar.

Well, sometimes there’s a man.  Sometimes there’s a man.  

Ummm, I don’t think “more packed and exciting” is necessarily a good thing.

So you think, that in the midst of a divorce, somehow this won’t come out that he’s having an affair? That the woman he’s fucking’s husband won;t tell. Or that relatsionship could crumble and someone tell his wife? or (drumroll) she suspects and gets someone to confirm?

Let’s hope he doesn’t ruin golf too!

This man is a national hero. The Air Force should stop dicking around, sack up, and say nuts to punishing him for a load that’s been blown way out of proportion.

Say it again for the people in the back.
