@Witzbold:
Really? So these guys got banned? Maybe some people were a little bit, I'm going to say irked, at how klonius said he will do something that we all know he would never do, but that's it. A lot of people are calling for this guy to be killed, or raped in prison, or tortured, so what about them? Maybe statements like that offend people like me, who don't believe in eye-for-an-eye justice. Should they be banned as well? I don't think so. I especially don't think this_will_be_fun should have been banned at all. I know that commenting on this site is a privilege, but the reason a lot of people, me included, choose to comment here is because we like how Kotaku allows people to state there opinions, even if they are in the vast minority. I'll admit that the jokers that were banned probably deserved it. I didn't think that it was trolling, but I was obviously wrong. The comment made by this_will_be_fun got a few responses disagreeing with it, but I don't think he enraged anybody. He just thought that a lot of people were being a little hypocritical. I don't really think so, but I can understand how he would. People have said a lot stupider things, and on this thread, without getting banned. I just think that people are letting there emotions run a little out of control with this story, and plenty are saying things that they don't mean.

Didn't think they violated any rules, but I guess popular opinion rules the day here (as it always does). I'm not a sensitive or compassionate person at all, but I wouldn't make a bad joke on a topic like this. Didn't think they deserved the hammer, but I guess they should have been smarter.

In any case, there's no way he'll be charged with first degree. It'll be manslaughter. He'll be in jail for a while though. Good riddance. We don't need fuckers like this linking video games to child beating.

That game was about 6 to 8 months away from being done when they released it.

There is little delay for the North American version, and the PAL version actually comes out before the Japanese version.

But the companies who do strive for world wide markets are often more successful and enjoy better sales. I really don't understand why it is taking so many Japanese companies to realize that it is actually good not to ignore markets in other countries.

Well said. For an engine that's supposed to have the best lighting and shadowing capabilities, the UE3 has really shitty lighting and shadowing capabilities.

Exchanging gold is part of WoW. They would have to make it illegal for gold to be exchanged in order for this to work. What's to stop me from farming a bunch of gold, "giving" it to a friend, and having my friend give me a "gift" of money? I guess saying that players have no rights to their gold would do the trick, except then how would legitimate transactions take place?

That's fine, but it shouldn't feel like an impact when the saber hits. It looks so different in the movies. The wielder doesn't feel any resistance, and it sounds like a real laser sword cutting through flesh. There's certainly no 1/10th second pause every time it makes contact with anything!

Ooooohhh. I get it. I didn't know. That's a noble cause. Too bad he has to sacrifice his child's masculinity. Oh well, maybe it will build his character. Like the boy named Sue. Who I think killed his father for giving him a girl's name...

Fuck not responding to peer pressure! If I wore a pink skirt and hair extensions wherever I went, people would make fun of me too. Am I supposed to not respond to peer pressure and continue to look like a little girl? It's the same principle with the pink DS lite, just way less extreme.

Sonic is in a next gen game. Brawl. And he gets the shit kicked out of him by Mario.

I know that's not what you were talking about, but it was still the best chance he ever had of beating Mario.

Both you and some random guy are capitalizing off of his creativity. I'm not even kidding, I really think he deserves it. And how good can it be for a little boy to be carrying around a pink DS lite anyway?

I'm glad he's in Brawl. I like setting the time to unlimited and just beating the shit out of him with Mario until I get board.

No... As you can see by the above comments, some people are pissed off. I don't mind the actor being white myself. I just don't like Orlando Bloom. I don't even really hate any of the movies he's been in, except when he is on screen. I don't understand how an English actor can sound like he's faking an English accent.

What's the point? Sure, it feels cool to move your hands around and see the character reacting on screen, but a fleshed out physics system just seems more fun. I know Nintendo is trying to push gameplay over graphics, but I think the 360 version is going to win in both departments. And I don't really even care about the graphics, I'm just looking forward to the gameplay on the 360!
