I make videos for Kotaku. I make video games for myself and my friends. I like writing fiction. Someday I will publish a novel. Who knows!

Oh yes . . . oh yes, we are going to get around the Barrett pretty soon!! Read more

I feel like this is a big part of it, yeah! With the J-Rock celebrities of the time, there was always (always!) a huge possibility it was an act, because no one anywhere is *really* that exact sort of jerk. With Cloud, it was interesting because, you know, he’s a fictional character inside a work of fiction. Read more

maybe by part eight or nine we’ll know for sure how sick are this guy in the original japanese Read more

That’s neat to think about!! Voice acting is going to change a lot of what I’m going to cover in these videos, which is cool. Read more

Actually, I’ve just never said the word out loud. Read more

lol in the New Donk City travel brochure / world-map there is a boxout item with the label “ABC: Always Be Constructing”, which explains that New Donk City loves building new buildings. Read more

Yeah, totally. There’s something slightly wrong with a game that I don’t ever feel like playing again. Read more

I don’t know if it addresses *all* of your concerns, though I played both the Japanese original and the International: Zodiac Job System version (which includes tweaks the western version had over the original, and adds even more tweaks on top of that (including a license board that requires initial choices to set the Read more

Then, after months of this, they held an Read more

man, what do you mean betamax tape “wasn’t great”? it was great. it had a clearer picture and was more resistant to wear. it was exclusivity deals with movie studios that led to VHS winning the format war :-O Read more

it is complete hideous nonsense that there isn’t one Read more

Man, look at that guy! If he's only Hafthor, imagine how strong Full Thor is! Read more

It might be because I wrote this as a story with an outline, for the purpose of writing a story with a structure — the other stuff of mine you might have seen on Kotaku is a result of my updating a Google Document here and there for a month, eventually deciding to send it to Totilo. This here is the sort of thing I Read more

I'm . . . considering talking about it, in public, pretty soon. So stand by for that! I hope whatever I say about it ends up at least being funny~ Read more
