Holy cow this sounds amazing. Shades of Klik & Play!

Armchair diagnosis is armchair, but I had a buddy in high school who was the spitting image of this guy (but with a butt-cut instead of a fro), and he had psoriasis.

I plan to! Feel free to elaborate on my incorrect visual diagnosis though, Dr. Jacobs.

I say "poor guy" because he was hired explicitly to be mocked, because he is not physically attractive and has a skin problem. The audience is being invited to find this "gross," because that ugly dude is kissing that hot lady and eww.

I'd argue the way to "succeed in the world" is to be born into privilege or, failing that, luck out. Right place right time, right look, something like that. The more privilege you have the less luck you need, and the inverse. I know a whole lot of people who are successful that think they got there simply because…

Well said JC, I'd heart you again if I hadn't already :)

Oof, poor guy.

Holy cow I played that game too! They had it at our local county library; you could check out games to play on their C64 and Apple IIs. I don't remember anything but that one screen they show, so I don't think I made it any further.

Peanuts was at its best when children waxed philosophical with lofty vocabularies, but with the extremely narrow understanding and naivete of small kids. It really doesn't make a good video game. Most dialogue-heavy IPs don't.

There were exactly zero high-profile Peanuts video games. The wikipedia list shows how slim were the pickings:

I don't think the article has a message. It's just pointing out that there are hazy but very spendy licensing agreements between gun manufacturers and military game makers. I thought it was interesting, I'd never thought about it before and didn't realize a gun model like an M82 was a brand copyright just as much as a…

Keep in mind that not one note in the Coulton version came from the original. The only notes in the original are that menacing little minor-key bassline that wasn't carried over at all. So Coulton basically wrote an original music composition and performed Baby Got Back's lyrics over it, like any artist writing a song…

(Psst, check the last work in that post again!)

I guess. There's something about AS' style of speech combined with his rigid adherence to the party line (Liberal does not have to equal Democrat) that just bugs the crap out of me.

Please, my spelling is imamculate!

WHY is Kotaku reporting on this? Typical slanted media!!! Whatever happened to ojbectivity?

Jeez, the shade getting thrown at you from other commenters is crazy. I totally get what you mean, meet-cutes and finding each other attractive has virtually zero bearing on love. The "happily ever after" myth is almost as stupid as the "destiny" myth - relationships are hard work, and you have to cultivate them…

You mean on MSNBC! They actually gave a show to Al Sharpton, who I consider as inclined to diatribe and polemic as Michael Moore, if not moreso.

Incoming ban on Assault Video Games.

As someone who used to make a living playing in cover bands, I can tell you that we don't pay the original artists a dime. We're being paid for our performance of the songs; it's no different then hiring a DJ for your party who plays a playlist off his iPad. He ain't shilling out to Diana Ross, either.
