Old celluloid film was highly combustible and made of cellulose which degrades over time.

Because those games and consoles are out of print/production, that’s why. Sure, you can still find a PSOne but will you be able to find a copy of the game you are looking for? As time goes on physical copies of games are removed from circulation either by being destroyed, lost, or otherwise becoming unplayable. Having…

Somedays I wish that video games weren’t so outlandish. For example, why can’t Bioshock be real. Why can’t we have an asshole with to much time and to much money be able to build an underwater city where all these assholes who hate the government and hate everyone not like them can live in their own little underwater…

HAH! Yeah riiiiiiight :P

Try the DS version. It’s got extra content, works in all the graphics that were in the upgraded version...it’s so good.

I know, right?! It’s fucking badass! I think I’ve seen a character like him before, but I can’t remember where. What a cool contrast though.

Dude, I’m white, and I think African-American Sephiroth kicks ass. He doesn’t look like a woman or a scrawny, sweaty, pale emo-dude. Plus that hairstyle was just MADE for those long dreds.

Stay strong. Wife and I decided to let my 7 & 5 yr old kids say goodbye to our 20yr old cat. The next day we caught a meowth on P:GO. I swear someone was cutting onions

None of my dystopian novels predicted rouge park rangers leading the resistance on Twitter. . .

It is a little bit true that my dog’s purpose is suffering for my entertainment, in the context where suffering means putting up with me lying on top of him and kissing his fluffy head while he emits a series of melodramatic groans and then gets all offended when I eventually get up, because he didn’t say it was time…

“We could stitch it on...”

I too remember when the Pokemon were based off of animals like:

I’m having a hard time understanding if people in general are getting dumber or if Christianity attracts idiots. Either way the Bible has been decorated for centuries but to know that you have to have an IQ higher than an apple.

This is why I can’t reconcile organized religion. She did a lovely thing, it clearly took a lot of time and she put a lot of thought into it. She highlighted messages of universal love, and not judging others. And then you get Christians being mean and judging a 16 year old girl they’ve never met on the Internet. For…

I was working at EB at the height of the craze, and we sold the stupid things. Two of them were unboxed on our side counter for demo purposes, and so they could “learn”. This became slightly more unsettling when they would babble in Furbish—until you got close. Then both would fall silent, and blink at you. The…

Okay, I want either Kotaku’s staff (hopefully with you in, Cecilia!)or Tay members (Aikage, I want you on this!) to do a gameplay of this. This seems like fun with a group.

Oh they were cool to me too. Until I wanted to sleep. Keep in mind I also kept a chair in front of my closet as a kid to keep the Barons of Hell in check.

Great piece. And may I recommend getting fat? I am completely invisible now. But nothing makes men angrier than a fat feminist who loves herself. Example number one - Lindy West. She rocks.

My wife shot down naming our daughter “Lilisette”, which I thought wasn’t a huge departure from our already settled name of Lily. She was concerned about children teasing her but then you see kids with names like “Abcde” (Ab-cid-e) or “Shithead” (Shi-theed) (no, I’m dead serious on that one. my mother works at an…
