Wait. Kotaku Dr. Nerdlove is bi-weekly? Why do I not feel like I read it twice a week, but also haven’t missed every other article when I click on the tag?

Hey, some of us liked being able to try and fail at things our characters aren’t skilled at, or to get the twenty-to-one success right when we most need it because the gods happened to be smiling on us. I know I’ve done that in, like, older Elder Scrolls and Fallout games and D&D and the CRPGs based on it. But, yeah,…

So, it looks like I’ll be spamming IN to rock my beloved Energy Weapons in FO4 now. No more moderately intelligent but freakishly perceptive post-apocalyptic would-be Zeuses for me, I guess…

I think it’s worth noting that you’ll have DLC and sales on said DLC to either bring you back to or convince you to finally get around to some of these games that you missed or didn’t give their due at launch. I know I’ve got a lot of work to do on my computer before I get to enjoy Fallout 4, but at the same time,…

As long as they keep all the one-time minigames* that involve a single, precisely-timed button press at completely imperceptible timing such as “jumping onto the swinging cable”, “performing CPR”, and “getting a dolphin to launch you up several stories”. You can’t change those!

Eh, nice change of pace from the rest of the internet…

I was thinking along similar lines (consciousness-uploading, though I hadn’t quite gone to the Android degree. Something about being a meatbag in Fallout just seems more right than the alternative), but I came to the conclusion that experiments in consciousness-uploading made way too much sense for a Vault-Tec…

(A fall 2015 release would be wonderful.)

Man, this article hit me right in the feels, right below the Sith alchemical amulet and the Vonduun crab breastplate and Skippy the Jedi Droid tattoo, where all the love for almost all the weird the EU had to offer (but, fuck you Master Farfalla and your ludicrous wooden starship) lives.

Man, this is what I’m missing (I wonder why I don’t have it. Was it not included with the GOTY CD-ROM edition? Surely I would have held onto it if I’d gotten it; I’m not dumb). The in-game map is so lacking in detail, unless all you’re interested in is locating the cities and towns. I’m only a few hours into my most…

Wow, I knew old school D&D was harsh, but I didn’t realize it was that mean; I’m used to fuzzy, player-friendly 4E.

Most of my knowledge of “Tomb of Horrors” comes from Ready Player One rather than having played it myself. I assume in the original module, you also complete the dungeon by beating the Lich in Joust, right?

That’s a twist I could dig!

Maybe you don’t have long, fulfilling relationships with someone else’s torso, but that’s not the case for everyone Doc:

I trust you mean meatloaf that was made yesterday and then, in an affront to all that is good and righteous on this Earth, left to sit out overnight? Because cold meatloaf sandwiches the next day are the best reason to make meatloaf. Cheap bread, a layer of mayo and ketchup that merge into creamy, pink goo, maybe some…

A small group of crows, enough to make the collective noun appropriate without being unsettling to a The Birds level.

So, what are we looking for in a new mascot? Chubby, cute Electric-Type that stops being cool when it evolves? Perfect. Meet your new mascot, Pokémon.

How do you change the fight with Goht to require *more* involved use of the Goron mask? Was it even possible to fight him as normal Link, and if so, why would you subject yourself to not crashing through him as a spiky, flaming Goron until he's dead?

Aah, Argument from Authority, or why I spent way too long arguing with a troll that no matter what Bill Murray says about it, I can't be objectively wrong for liking Ghostbusters II…

So, I haven't watched SNL since like the early 2000's (whenever the downswing started around the time that folks like Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon started to move on). How likely is it that it'll all be downhill from this admittedly spectacular promo?
