What does Kotaku have to do with games?

It hasn't though - tablets aren't new - I was selling Windows based Tablet PC's over a decade ago.

Er good for you, and the relevance to the rest of the thread is what?

He's not satirising the games is he - he's attacking the idiots who are being, well idiots.

But if there's no money it it from them, (I'd imagine very little of anything), why should they?

The Lawnmower Man, says so on the pic :-p

The movie was optioned whilst Harris was writing the book - but that's to be expected, he was writing it anyway.

Posted this in IO9 also, but it's important dammit!

The Lecter prequel was a cash grab, (Red Dragon), seeing as it had already been made with Brian Cox; the sequels however were all based on books first.

Motion controls can add a lot, but why reinvent the wheel when the wheel works pretty damn well.

I see this is very polarising, but nVidia have every right to protect their IP from people who think that they should just hand it all over without paying for it.

The minister in the first series of that, Chris Langham, wrote for Jim Henson - but sadly someone accused him of being a child molester and his career ended, (he was acquitted and most people stood by him but it killed his career instantly).

Fair play to them, they shouldn't indulge Linux users just because.

Or makes a living off creating content that some people would find objectionable?

The comments here would suggest that many, many people don't get that it's satire, (or indeed who Brooker is).

A lot of those styles were employed in Highlander - sure it was mostly silly but perhaps they got a few things right.

Why do you assume he saves the day?

Apparently very little of what he wrote/intended for that movie ends up on the screen, (see also X-Men, Speed and Toy Story).

Have you seen an Alien movie before?

Satire isn't easy is it, although I realise in written form on a journalist you've never heard before it can be a very difficult thing to discern.
