@svetlana: *overhead town. Since overhead down is kinda redundant, grammatical problems aside.

Both of the overhead down shots remind me strongly of Simsville. That project that got canned, that was supposed to bridge Sims and Sim City, importing your sims into a town and following their lives but form a more distanced mayoral perspective. The concept wasn't life changing but I do remember the pictures...and…

She is also the best lesbian comic out there who makes her sexuality part of her act. (Ellen, despite the drunken uninformed blathering of a neighbor lout back in college, does not count, because neither her jokes nor her show have jack to do with being gay. Which is totally her choice.)

@PCapologist: "There's an awful lot of unfounded hate spewing here." Yeah, um. At the writer.

Conundrum: which is more depressing—the look of the game or the need to explain the reference? Because I know, it was probably necessary. I'm not saying people should have read it. It's not life changing and to assert that it's "required of an oh so loftily worldly education" is a bit archaic. But people should at…

@princess_stomper: Er, I didn't mean that I thought the word coon was cool, but rather that I mean to type cool instead. "Coon" was never part of it...*headdesk*

@svetlana: gah! coon = cool. I don't know if the slur was ever used as an adjective but for crying out loud, the intent was "cool!" Augh.

Oh, snogging people senseless. How it takes me back to the days of fandom, when patently American girls would use cache Britishisms to try and become as coon as their inevitably off-shore love interests.

Hurrah!

@svetlana: Er. Has been -> has become

@indyit: The only public personalities I ever met were writers, out of their public capacities, and both of them wanted to curl up in boxes and die when approached by fans. To be fair, neither of them went through life without significant difficulties mentally/emotionally, so it isn't fair to make crass…

@indyit: Well, it's true, this is just one comment, and my intent was not to dump the smorgasbord of kotaku fandom at your feet. Your post just served to bring to mind again this line that people don't seem to be aware they're crossing sometimes. It's like "Yay Kotaku...yay Crecente...yay his hair...yay I want it in…

@indyit: This is creepy. They're writers. Not pin-up girls. I will never understand this facet of newsblogging. The last thing I'd need would be someone I'd never met in my life knowing what I look like and keeping an eye out for my jubblies in an airport I just MIGHT be entering in a given timeframe. It isn't…

I'd agree that these questions disturb people. By "people" I guess I mean those whose opinions on it, one way or the other, might affect those outside their intimate social sphere: those who get paid for, and are expected to deliver, commentary on society and the world at large, and how and if it needs to change.

@Brian Ashcraft: It appears as though this quickly deteriorated into a wikiwar, which perhaps may be why you writers don't often wade into the comment bloodbath (or maybe you do, I don't know), but for what it's worth this little rejoinder is pretty cool.

Good grief, this man gets paid for having a precisely-wadded ball of boxers eternally lodged up his sphincter.

@svetlana: Preordered. The teacup is mine.

@svetlana: Well, having checked their site, it appears I have time.

Where? Are there lines? Yodabashi Camera or what? Do they sell out? Where do I go/what do I do?!
