I’m in the same boat - I never have any interest in the reboots with all women films because it’s a false equivalence to progressive films IMO. Also you handicap the film by forcing it to be compared to the originals. I would much rather original films or sequels that aren’t a “reboot” with one change.

I loved Atomic…

1. Why is password on this list twice?

Accidentally hit reply to the wrong person.

At some point though I think that becomes a matter of selective editing though. Because although this video comes out to roughly 11 Men to 6 Women (counting only protagonists in narratives and not counting games without protagonists or where the player can choose) I could radically kick that number to 50/50 if we…

If you buy a Kotaku Loot Crate for 99 cents you will get five random video game clips to insert into the reel. If you buy 5 loot crates it will only cost you $3.99. Buy the Gawker Special Bundle which includes 50 loot crates for $40.99

Relatively yes but there were quite a lot with female protagonist games in that list including Gravity Rush - Uncharted, Horizon Zero Dawn, Life is Strange, Battlefront 2 (if I count the campaign) & Hellblade.

Not to mention games with variable protagonist sex based on player choice such as Destiny & Mass Effect…

Well the difference is that Kiryu’s is passive wheras this is active. I think Majima’s game is better thought out and more fun to play but in terms of time to money ratio Kiryu’s is better since you can do other activities while you wait for money to come in.

So I have to share this one myself. I’ve had this screen name since 1997 and just used it in various places. Iniclusive of which was my AIM account in high school.

One day while online I get a message from somone asking me how “Russel” is.

The conversation basically went like this:

Me: I don’t know a Russel.
Them: Very…

Well you can and they have to with regards to their employees (and depending on state, volunteers). That’s mandated by law. However these duties do NOT extend to consumers except as to the warrantees concernign the products or services they offer. If Twitch were inherently dangerous to use (and it’s hard to imagien a…

Honestlly it would be helpful if Twitch created an automated bot that detected these messages and gave the number of the suicide prevention hotline to the person. Very similar to how Google works in that if you try to google how to kill yourself it turns back the suicide prevention hotline or other websites about how…

It could also leave them open to liability in the event the person commits suicide. Lest we not forget less than a year ago a Michelle Carter was found guilty of manslaughter for texting messages that egged on her ex-boyfriend to commit suicide.

Agreed, this is why I’ve always felt the best esports game at the moment is actually Rocket League. Because Rocket League so closely mirrors a physical sport (soccer) it is very easy to follow what is going on at all times and can be shown fro ma distance without needing to narrate each individual player.

This is…

See ironically that’s not true with me and physical sports. I love watching tennis and I play it. I don’t watch any other physical sport at all.

I really enjoy playing Overwatch, it filled a void for me that TF2 held until my old clan split up.

But I HATE watching Overwatch e-sports.

Even as a player of the game since launch I find it difficult and frustrating to follow especially with trying to determine what happened because of skill vs team synergy vs luck.…

The shanties were on the CD with the collectors edition of it. Best collectors edition bonus I ever got.

The shanties do so much for tone and fun in ACIV. I never forgot to press the button to make my men sing. There was one time though when a storm began and they all stopped singing. I pressed the button again but they were more concerned with the storm than singing.

I then ran my boat right into a wave, killing 6 crew…

The sad moment when I see the title image and I thought it was another update of the fires out here in California. This state is turning into hell on earth at the rate we’re burning.

He did but they weren’t nearly so large or defined on his face that it looked like a Waluigi mustache.
