My wife and I have been laughing our asses off watching this live. Krukow's reaction was the best.

ewww. it does look like a tramp stamp.

I think it's time to celebrate this birthday by going to one of Nintendo's old Love Hotels.

Don't worry, there's a certain member of the Kotaku team who hasn't either!

This type of shit ruins the creativity of developers. Where are the risks devs are willing to take if they're afraid of being fined if a gamble fails? At least Dynasty Warriors tries to add in massive new modes and experiments with gameplay features .. Call of Duty barely does even that.

Right, I was talking to Kirk about this last night (while we were playing Destiny, hilariously). We're planning on running our review this week, after we try out the raids, and even THAT feels too early for a game like this. I'm not sure why so many outlets felt comfortable running their reviews so soon after release.

Because we were deliberately keeping it a secret from you, Jason. It's all part of our MASTER PLAN...

I prefer The Ripper, a song by Judas Priest. I'm sure holes will be poked in this latest theory, as history has always loved a mystery...

Bullshit. Every few years there's someone peddling an answer to this, usually when they have a book to sell. We'll never know who did it.

Oh? A Polish Jew did it?

See, I've never been concerned with labels. If people don't consider video games art, fine. Not sports, fine. There doesn't need to be some agreed consensus about what they are or they aren't as long as you enjoy them. I find the people who insist on characterizing certain creative outputs or activities as such are…

E-sports are skill-based challenges that rely heavily on reflex and physical dexterity. You can certainly make the argument that those aren't sports, but then you'd have to say the same about games like golf, air rifle shooting, bowling, etc. Otherwise the definition is inconsistent.

I'm from Cincinnati, and will not defend the chili, but Deadspin's obsession with hating on Cincy Chili borders on pathological. I am starting to suspect Deadspin secretly loves it, like how a young boy will bully the girl he has a crush on

I feel bad for all the people who worked hard at this. Im a Playstation guy, sure, but that doesn't mean I hate MS or the Xbox, and I want to see it do well in other parts of the world, so the competition is tight and that pushes companies to make better games and features for ther consoles. I wouln't have done a…

Sarkeesian makes pretty good points. Writers and directors should do better than what they've been doing. However, I'm reluctant to say that violence against any single group of people should be removed from creative work since that has the potential to shut down a vein of narrative. I mean sure, "imagine better…

Indeed. Just like the US government loves to hire regulators from within their respective industries and how various industries love to give cushy jobs to the legislators that once wrote laws impacting them and their industry.

The real problem is people expecting people to be unbiased in the first place. It's not going to happen, ever. Unless there's some sort of yes/no criteria reviewing will never be unbiased, and people need to stop being so passionate about that crap.

Let's not be silly. Borderlands is not Wind Waker-esque. This clearly is.

Not technically videogame novels since they came first, but as long as we're giving recommendations The Witcher books are pretty good. Though one of the most important books, Sword of Destiny, was never officially brought over to the west there's a super solid fan translation that's about as good as any official…
