oh, that was a (subtle?) clue—among dozens of others spread across this and the next two “prereview” videos—that i had handed it my two-weeks’ resignation notice to kotaku dot com and was about to embark upon a career as an independent video creator (which started yesterday) lol Read more

just popping into the comments to say real quick that, yes, even if nobody gives animal crossing an 8 out of 10 i am going to die anyway. i know Read more

it came out in 1993! Read more

this might have something to do with the phenomenon others have called a “mid-life crisis” huh Read more

the headline has my name in it. this is not Kotaku Dot Com’s Official List Of The Ten Best Games Of The Decade, Scientifically Calculated To Maximally Enrich You The Reader’s Life. it’s me telling stories about my favorite games of the decade. if you’re not in it for those stories, the list is probably meaningless for… Read more

yeah, it’s extremely fun Read more

i just can’t do middle fingers on triggers! for some games i do it, though for most, it’s gotta be my big ugly index fingers on there. it’s like as soon as they gave me paddles i threw bumpers in the trash. and now that you can use a bumper as SHIFT . . . buddy, i’m pushin bumpers down to the BOTTOM of the trash Read more

honestly, the trick is to do these things in one take, and have an impatient camera man so you’re self-conscious the whole time Read more

it . . . just didn’t happen to me! or anyone else i know personally. i am absolutely NOT disbelieving you, though yeah. it didn’t happen! i feel like i missed out on something to get mad at lol Read more

see, this is why i made a video . . . maybe about 50 minutes in you can see me dig my fingernail as far as i can get it under the rubber :-D Read more

tbh, yes, i’d go with white, despite my all-black wardrobe. the fine rubber surface gets heck of greasy. Read more

Thanks for watching! Read more

Take a close look at the package . . . ;-) Read more

I dedicate a whole 15 minutes of this video to the improvement on the paddles. Maybe check it out—they’re much, much tighter than the original Elite’s paddles. They’re about the actuation distance of a cherry mx blue keyboard key, if that reference tracks for you. I find them delicious. After returning this Review… Read more

interestingly, when i worked at sony, i learned that in internal communications you’d get yelled at if you called it a “d-pad.” they had conventionalized the term “Directional Buttons.” look at any playstation game instruction manual (do those even still exist?? lmao) and you’ll see they refer to it—i mean, THEM—as… Read more

god dang it, i meant to do this :-( Read more

yeah, this—the original xbox one controller d-pad is too slippery. the angle of approach is too low. Read more

mark cerny announced way back in 2013—before the PS4 even came out!—that all future playstations would be “forward-compatible.” so “backward compatibility” is not really a thing. in summary, the playstation 5 is pretty much gonna be an xbox one x lol Read more

being perfectly honest, it’s a pretty idiotic list. if you aren’t chill with hangin out with this video, you probably won’t like the list! Read more
