Tim Rogers's discussions

ah, man—how long was the demo? if that demo was longer than ten minutes i might have been able to at least see my Pretzel Friend . . . Read more

i swear i did know! i just said “two.” i mean, i had said “we are getting a baldur’s gate three—” and i meant to say “why can’t we have a baldur’s gate dark alliance three too?” though for some reason i said “two.” man, this is like the only thing anyone in the comments on youtube is saying lol Read more

try making video essays! make an essay about your favorite game and see through all aspects of production of a comprehensive video about it. i did that for the dragon quest series in celebration of dragon quest xi, and people seemed to like that one. i mean, to be fair, i did that while working here, though you know… Read more

please watch the next nintendo direct . . . Read more

see if you can get an “@kotaku.com” email address somehow?? Read more

this is exactly what i say in the video that didn’t finish being uploaded until after you made your comment. so i think we’re on to something! Read more

ah, yeah, i noticed that, too! heck. i thought it was just because i’d messed with the audio settings (turned the music off to capture some footage, then turned it back on later, etc). i figured it’ll get patched Read more

yeah i know all this Read more

A lot of people “didn’t like” Breath of Fire V (which I almost always typo as “Breath of Five,” fwiw) both because it was so different from the others and because it was so different from, well, everything popular then—full of weird permadeathy mechanics and such. So here are some facts about it: Read more

I *swear* I (rhetorically, anyway) invented rear paddles while playing AC4 lol Read more

dude, i still have not watched “the man who killed don quixote.” i have it on my apple tv “up next” queue though like, how am i just gonna click on that and rent it? i feel like i have to, out of respect, leave it there for at least a year before i watch it. Read more

you know, hitchcock used to say that his films were “perfect” before he made them. making them, he said (and i’m paraphrasing) ruined them. i feel like Video Game Trailer Hype has extended hitchcock’s experience to The Average Player, and while i’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not (let’s face it: it’s probably… Read more

lmao basically Read more

Yeah, that’s it! It’s far and away the best backpack I’ve ever owned. I wanted one for a while, and it’s so expensive that, of course, it’s the sort of thing I’d never have bought for myself. (It was a birthday present—my birthday being conveniently the day before I left for E3.) Read more

Several days later: I have successfully performed the Super Mario Maker 2 double shell jump, uh, eight times now. Let’s not bother thinking about how many attempts that’s out of lol Read more

This level is just a tutorial that GrandPOOBear made to teach people how to shell jump, so it’s not “hard” per se. It’s just maybe it got boosted up the charts because he featured it on his stream, and a lot of people ended up playing it who had no idea what they were getting into. Read more

I . . . so desperately want to watch his walkthrough video. I can’t let myself do that, though, because that would be cheating. I just got to the Double Shell Jump part, and I sure have never done a Double Shell Jump. I’m cryin’ over here. Read more

Ah, I explained to him off-camera that I have a chronic headache and he was 100% OK with it! Read more
