Hi Brian I can't help but notice that I've been placed in the naughty corner and though usually I'd relish being the rebel and walk proudly away sticking two fingers in the air and shouting out fuck the fascists, this time I'm a bit befuddled. The vanilla explanation I was provided with branded me as either a vitriolic troll, a racist, posting pornographic imagery or borderline illiterate... before ending with the statement "we dole it out so we can take it". Do you have a quota to fill? I was a bit surprised when Kotaku core was announced seeing as though half the charm of coming here over a more traditional site is to see what bizarre off the wall topics are posted. Your story earlier though didn't make any sense to me so I used your comment field to say so in a vaguely witty way. As I understand it a week or so ago somebody on the other side of the world asked a child why they have a PSP before riding off on a bike. In other news I had a quick game of Minesweeper earlier, my partner nearly dropped her 3DS when drunk last Saturday and I'll be checking out Steam's daily deal gone six tonight. Feel free to use one of those but credit where credit's due y'know... Though I probably won't even be posting anything within the next week could I please be reinstated or at least have an explanation as to why I've been banned?

Hi Bash! Could we please have a size comparison post for PS Vita game cases against other popuar game cases, as a lot of people are curious to know what size they will be in relevance to other games they may own. Considering the games come on tiny carts, you'd expect the cases to be as small as possible - Smaller than DS or 3DS cases. In my opinion, Nokia N-Gage cases were a perfect size for MMC's, but I would expect the Vita cases to be similar in size to common 3DS style cases. Could you please clarify for us? Thanks!
You should stop trolling the ds. Its getting uncomfortable

Hey Brian, I like you guys's series on Japan's latest fetishes. Have you guys or anyone at Gawker ever done a feature on the trend of 'Bagel Head'in Japan? Where Japanese youth are putting implants in their foreheads that look like Bagels? if you guys did one, can you point me to it?

Pls put a NSFW tag on the post: http://kotaku.com/5815763/wow-this-kind-of-stuff-is-okay-on-the-psp/gallery/ Apparently, someone just got fired for it. I know it cud be someone joking but still.

Hey Brian, i'm not sure who to ask about this but the last article was written by you, so i picked you.
the kotaku feed doesn't seem to work, i usually read the articles through the feeds on my friend's forum, but they're not coming through now. and the feeds page isn't showing up properly either.
you probably already knew of this, but i figured i'd send you a message about it just to make sure.
and i'd like to know if its being worked on or not and when it will/might be back.

Thanks in Advance.

Hey Brian, this is a note on your article about the 3DS having an iron curtain. The reason Nintendo region locks new models of DS and now 3DS is that each country has it's own ratings system. An "T" here isn't exactly the same as an "C" in Japan. This is what I've heard from a Nintendo Rep at, anyway.

Hi Brian! I have possibly the most insane throwing knife of all time in MW2. Could be the greatest MW2 clip ever. Would you please post it on the homepage? Thank you! [www.youtube.com]
Thank you again.

You banned me, and you never answered as to why you did it. You could at least have the courtesy and professionalism to tell me.

Hey Brian, can I give you some major props for the game about insurgency article.. It's really refreshing seeing that you guys really cover all sorts of topics. As an arab video gamer since the Atari era I always feel bad about how we get left out of the video game world.. It's also amazing seeing the political debate being sparked off your article, as a Palestinian it really hurts when people view me as a terrorist when all I want to do is create awesome art, play video games and make lots of friends.. its nice to know that a large portion of the kotaku readers still view me and my people as a human being. Thanks for the article, I hope to continue enjoying your posts and hope you will challenge us more and more.

Simply wanted to say thanks for linking those UA vids in the Night Note a few days ago. Been listening to them since, especially "Taiyo Te ni Tsuki wa Kokoro no Ryote ni." No need to apologize for getting sentimental. Feel free to do so more often.

Hi, I wasn't sure how to reach you, so I thought you might see this
I thought it might be interesting to note that final fantasy 13 has been seemingly bricking playstation 3's. I recently went to a friends house and whilst my copy of the game ran fine so far (old 60GB), his had choppy cutscene, and then the cutscenes would freeze altogether....however the pause still worked (skipping would sometimes work, sometimes not)
eventually it got to a point where a message saying "system software cannot run correctly" every time he put in the disc, and it is now causing all of his ps3 games to freeze after some minutes in game
this isn't an isolated problem as well:
[community.eu.playstation.com]

the worst part about this is, its outside of warranty, and square insists nothying is wrong with their game, and sony says nothing is wrong with their console, but after the recent 'leapyear bug, either is a possibility, and no one is taking the heat or giving resolutions, short of "buy a new PS3"

I just thought people should know, so that they have knowledge that theres a possibility of their PS3 crapping out as well.....and also I thought this might be helpful in giving sony and square a small PR kick up the arse to push them into resolving the problem, rather than ignoring their customers and fans....
thanks for all the quality articles on the site

From my comment on your Mass Effect 2 trailer post, so that I'm sure you see it:

"What the FUCK bash?! What happened to goddamn spoiler warnings?! You just destroyed that ending for me. I was playing that game 10 min ago, hoping to finish it tomorrow.
