If you are a fan of old school gaming mixed with new you should check out this game Maxwell Jensen is working on. It's called Crystal Catacombs and is an awesome pixellated twist on MetriodVania games. You might remember his work, he did those Shadow of the Colossus on the Game Boy pics. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crystalcatacombs/crystal-catacombs?ref=card Brock

There is an older thread on Something Awful's forums http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3433805 that contains hundreds of alternate "better" box art that people can access, download, print out and use. I don't know if you guys ever covered that but its worth looking at, in my opinion.

Hey, where is last week's Media Create chart? Are you on vacation? I think this is the longest there hasn't been an update on Kotaku for it in a while.

Please Michael, don't feed the trolls... disemvowel them. Or, rather: Please, Hammer: Hurt 'Em. I'm always amazed at what bloggers put up with, but I've seen crazy hate today, and not just at Kotaku. Serious bile was running in the streets at the Onion's A.V. club as well. Peace.

You posted a video for "Hero Begginning", the Half life fanfiction gone wrong a while back. The conclusion to the story came out and you can find it here:

Hey Michael

i got an interesting history you guys can check and help me at the same time, did you know that xbox live won´t allow you to download some content in countries with no xbox live support?? I've been trying to download the call of duty WAW map pack but it keeps telling me that the content is not available in my current location, (by the way, I'm living in Guatemala right now )i have my gold subscription in order i have enough Microsoft points and I'm able to download everything else but the map pack, please check it out, i think it could be a great post since i remember kotaku post something about xbox not blocking xbox live from countries with out xbox live support

You made a post about the djy version of Half Life Hero Beggining yesterday.

However, a better version was actually made a week and a a half ago by someone called "The Gaz"
It can be viewed here:

Not only is the voice acting way better, the randomness of it isn't forced (like the djy version), and it comes across as far funnier.

Just thought you should know.

Curious to know if you had any idea what happened to the Jezebel thread, as it seems to have locked up. I'm guessing it might have been because of the trolling and flaming? It's a shame, because amidst all the hateful screaming were some interesting gems of conversation...

I notice that you posted about the MGO bomb mission addition. Could you do a post on how MGO is being ran by glitchers? The tournament mode that was added with the expansion has just become an unreasonable glitch fest. Players just are cheating to win the special items, making it almost impossible for honest players to win. Same thing with survival. If you guys could cover this, maybe Konami would take notice and take action to fix the problem. Also possible remove glitcher's player stats and rewards that have not been earned by honest means. They need to take something from the play book of Square Enix and what they did with Final Fantasy Online. MGO is a great game, but it's just not fun anymore for this reason alone. Please help us take it back.

Noticed this page was tagged incorrectly. It should be in the Software tag, but is tagged with the Hardware.

PS3 just YLOD on me, if you guys don't know what it means it's equivalent to the RROD, but on a way lower scale, I'm so unlucky :(.

Don't know if everyone noticed yet, but there are two new trailers for both FF13 and Versus on gametrailers, should really check umm out.

Hi Michael, I read your PSN update, I don't know if I overlooked it but another nice update is that the Resistance 'one' mappacks are now free. I haven't downloaded them myself but they posted the info on the PSblog. ([blog.us.playstation.com])

McWhertor, you should be held for high treason for not mentioning how horrible the multiplayer in Fable II is on your review.

McWhertor you egoist! Why are you following yourself?!!!
