Thanks to Frank Cifaldi for pointing this out: there’s an archive online of a series of videos made for Gametap (ask…

On the 22nd of August, Kotaku welcomed Heather Alexandra to our ranks. On Kotaku, Heather’s been producing…
The subtext of Mario Run is that the NX will fundamentally interact with their mobile games. There is no chance they compete against themselves.
Toeing the line between camaraderie and fierce competition is near-impossible, especially in fighting games…
Yeah. So there have been a few iterations of that. We used to have a monitor that showed the top stories in terms of concurrent readers as calculated by Chartbeat. It would pull from the stories at any of our company’s sites, so you’d see Kotaku stories up there changing spots with io9 stories, Gizmodo stories,…
If we are forced to use review scores, we now have the perfect formula for it!
After narrowly escaping a gang related death in GTA: Vice City, I walked down some stairs and took like 2% fall damage off the last step, which killed me. I’ve never forgiven Rockstar and I think it has irrationally fed into me scarcely playing their games since.
Former Studio Ghibli employee Hirokatsu Kihara was recently in London talking about his time at the famed animation…
I love this video and your narrative Heather! Thanks to you and the team for putting this together.

So like, I get that Miyomoto is easy to blame (and partially the culprit) for these sorts of overarching decisions you and a loud minority of people always post about. But it’s a hackneyed and kneejerk response to blame him for all these design iterations. (I don’t mean to single you out, but I read these comments all…
Look for “tegotae” to be the new quote attached to every single Facebook Miyomoto graphic for years to come.
In defense of Mario & Luigi:
hmmmmmmmm, though it’s sort of adorable to imagine a version of me that would stop doing something simply because my boyfriend wanted me to, that’s not what happened here.
Years ago, I helped Abigail Fishers get into college in Texas. That was my job: I “tutored” entitled teenagers…
When reached by Kotaku, the Ford dealership said they didn’t know what we were talking about.
If I recall correctly, the Nintendo reps rebooted the demo by pressing. R and + (I think?), or some similar, simple button hold. This brought up a pc like, small menu where they selected the next demo. Would seem a bit obvious, but there were a LOT of kiosks, and they were unmanned for chunks at a time while they…
What was it like not playing Mario Maker for a week, Patrick?
