“If Nintendo can do it, Sony can too”

I despise few things more than adults using children for crime. So incredibly fucked up and sad.

Here’s the true answer: Every single Toad that puts on the specific princess crown can and will turn into Peach. Why do you think there’s a Toad at the end of every castle in the NES Mario? The crown is passed around as a means to manipulate Mario into “liberating” castles all over the mushroom kingdom. When the Toad…

“Nothing can be done,” says only country where this regularly happens.

As a transgender individual, I just wanted to say that the “assume their gender” thing is bullshit all around. It’s bullshit to get overly offended that someone, without malicious intent, didn’t get one’s pronouns correct. It’s also stupid as a joke and feels pretty offensive because it’s used to attack people like me…

And pork. Though that may just be me.

All due respect: the list isn’t that good, either. The video element is like 98% of it.

There is almost NOTHING more satisfying to me than watching a self-sure shitbird refuse to acknowledge they’ve done anything wrong and then immediately lose everything.

“You can keep looking, Kotaku, and please let me know if you find anything,” he said in the video, setting off a chain of subsequent discoveries and accusations of dozens more instances of apparent plagiarism. Miucin has since removed the video from his YouTube channel.

I feel bad for all the honest hard working writers at IGN in all this, it seems like in some circles they’re being found guilty by association. Good for Jason and Kotaku that they’re fairly reporting IGN’s response and reaction when discussing this story.

Ya man, you still have a lot of living for yourself left to do. Enjoy your 20's. Do stupid things, travel, find yourself, find a career you like (or can tolerate for the money) etc. etc. etc. Fatherhood shouldn’t be on your radar. You’ll have enough to worry about without having to live for another person on top of it.…

Somedays are good when you’re 18 because you’re brand new. Somedays in your late 20's and 30's are a sign of something else.

Ah, the if they criticize me they’re just after your clicks defense!

Oof. Even though it seems that you and I have radically different views on games (*cough* Xenoblade is my favorite modern RPG *cough*), I’ve always respected your integrity as a journalist. Keep on keeping on.

Ah, the if they criticize me they’re just after your clicks defense! Honestly this guy just seems absolutely scummy and untrustworthy with his defense. I would have respected his plagiarizing ass a lot more ( more than the none, currently) if he had just 100% admitted to it. That wouldn’t absolve him from guilt or…

Spoken like an 18 year old. 

This is fair. You are entering a really intense stage of life *that has a finish line*. Eventually you will either graduate, quit, or be thrown out of university. If one of the people in the letter is in a similar situation (I’m in the Navy for 3 more years, I need to finish my degree, I have 18 months of Chemo left)…

Seeing as Germany is one of the biggest gaming markets in the world, of course there were german versions of most games. The second to last Wolfenstein wasn’t sold in germany, the last one though was (and in a weird version that in trying to not violate the german law kinda white washed the whole thing, if you knew…

Excuse me. A sandwich cut diagonally is still cut into halves. This kind of egregious error has finally pushed me over the edge, and I demand a full refund for all the content I have purchased over the years from Kotaku Dot Com.

Mario can’t die.
