God, I hate to ask this, but I have to know: how good is the random character creator at spawning decent non-white characters?

A piece of my childhood is dying with Toys ‘R’ Us. And it’s a good piece too. I can live without Blockbuster, Game Crazy, etc. But Toys ‘R’ Us will always have a special place in my heart. Even as an adult, I loved going there. It’s been 3 or 4 years since I’ve gone though, so I guess I’m part of the reason they’re…

How have we become convinced that there’s two opinions on that story?

People still care about what Warren Spector has to say?

The good news is that Marvel seems like they might be undoing it. Though it somehow involves Norman Osborn swiping the Carnage Symbiote and calling himself “Red Goblin”.

I know you almost definitely meant Satan but Stan is SO much funnier in context.

Man, Dr. Wily is really getting lazy with those Robot Master names.

“Players think it stems from women being held to conventional standards of attractiveness that men aren’t.”

Yeah, if anything that top shot is a case on why they don’t look the same other than maybe the nose.

Just as people each have their own playstyle, they’d want to look different from the same cookie cutter copy of the character. Look at how big TF2 hats got, just so people could say “this is mine”.

I stay energized for OW the same way I stayed energized for TF2: Take breaks. There’s no evolving leveling system or metagame to it, so forcing yourself to keep going, even if you’re not feeling it, is simply not needed.

When I go on a losing streak I play the silly arcade modes and vs AI matchmaking. Takes the stress away

I think what makes Trump different from regular politicians, who bullshit with couched language or hide behind plausible deniability, Trump’s bullshit is all either demonstrably false and disprovable on the spot, or stuff that will inevitably be revealed to be bullshit.

If Torb is on her team and she gets taken down, he needs to say one of his voice lines like “My baby!” or “I worked hard on that!”

now you just hurt rein’s feelings.

What should we do about the Myanmar government currently driving the Royhinga Muslims out of their homes and possibly exterminating them?

Will you shut up? I can like this guy only SO much, but this thread just keeps pushing.

If you want to make me have sex with a middle-aged black man, you, sir, have succeeded.

Before anyone starts asking why ‘heroic’ is in quotation marks, let me chime in that a hero is nothing more than a good person dealing with a bad day.

I’m not criticizing Kotaku or Ethan for covering this story - on the contrary, I’m glad this article exists.
