I didn't even hear of Mass Effect until it popped up on a Steam Sale when I first downloaded Steam onto my new gaming PC. It looked like a cool space shooter, so I got it for $2.99. I made my character, and the cut-scenes started. For some reason, it didn't let me skip the cutscene, so I got up to get a snack while it

The most dangerous monsters the world has ever seen are all in the hands of 10 year-olds.

(Drops absolutely everything)

YOU CAN PLAY AS QUNARI!?!?!?!

(Runs to preorder, despite having neither a console or gaming PC)

The results remind me alot of the parody Personality Tests on the Onion sister-site Clickhole.

"HERE I'LL SHOW YOU! HUURRRAGGHH!

"LANDMASTER!"

"PK...STOOORRMMM!!!"

TAG UR SPOILERZ11

Dr. & Mrs. The Monarch will forever be my favorite couple's cosplay, regardless of iteration.

Of course. I could totally understand some flak. It's very common for there to be some cognitive dissonance when you're first told that some of the entertainment you consume is problematic. Especially if, as you said, it's being said by a woman on the internet.

I largely ignored the "controversy" surrounding her

Sounds like a load of conspiracy twaddle. Plus, the fact the she predicted that she'd get death threats from the gaming community says alot more about the gaming community than it does about Anita.

(Meanwhile, at the evil fortress of Game-Hating Feminism)

Totilo: I did just as you commanded, my mistress! I posted the story about the bomb threat on the same day a conservative feminist critic said something else about video games!

Anita: Excellent! With Kotaku under my evil feministy grasp of evil! I can continue

Did she ever anticipate that making some YouTube videos criticizing the portrayals of women in video games would get her this much hate? I was familiar with rude comments and angry counter-arguments surrounding her work, but this sort of thing just takes it to a new level of depravity and sadism.

"Ammunition Launchers"? Why not go full balls with the euphemism bullshit and call them "Freedom Launchers".

So how is Dark Pit different from regular-ass Pit? I know he's a "clone" character, but even the clones have subtle differences (IE: Ganondorf's moveset is slower and more damaging than Captain Falcon's).

What does the Mii-Fighter Final Smash look like?

(Insert joke about Obama's drone policy here)

Yeah. I didn't realize it until the announcer in the video caused me to do a spit-take.

There was a screenshot floating around of one of Duck Hunt Duo's alternate color-swaps, and the coloration made them look suspiciously like Banjo and Kazooie.

Ohmigosh! Should I ask her to go with me to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance?

The new moves are cool! Weather conditions that make it impossible for weak-type moves to occur seem like they will add an interesting complexity to both Groudon and Kyogre. My rekindled interest is helped by the fact that they're showcasing Rayquaza now too—the coolest of the three.

Ba-zap! I have no idea how Approval works, but for some reason I have the power to star posts out of the greys on Kotaku, despite rarely posting here.

I wonder what Superman is singing?

Until I hear anything to the contrary, I'll imagine him singing Anaconda by Nikki Minaj.
