Tim Rogers's saved articles

I want to go check out that golden pyramid or the kinda melon/geodesic dome in Kotaku City Read more

That Australian caller (Gerard Whateley) left the national public broadcaster at the beginning of the year to join SEN, in part to have the chance to call massive events like this. Good to see him get some recognition for his phenomenal playcalling on a larger scale. Read more

According to Rohrer, it will take 3,000 years for anyone to ever find that board game. Read more

As someone else said, the “show about nothing” title was never really accurate, nor was it intended to be. It’s how the characters pitched their “show within a show” and even then it was nothing more than a pitch.

These Final Fantasy VII translation videos are a lot of fun, Tim. It’s been years since I used to play FFVII for 60 hours a week, and it’s great to know that others get to live that experience today! I was glad to see that the nuanced way Aerisu handled Barret was exactly the way I thought it was when I was a… Read more

There’s so much humor in the delivery that Tim does that would be utterly impossible if these were reduced to articles, though. While a point-by-point dissection & comparison of FFVII’s translation could be interesting, it wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable as this video series has been. Read more

I can tell you’re definitely having fun with these videos. I find the nuances interesting, especially the one about Dio. I’m anxious about how they’ll do the gold saucer in the remake, it seems too ambitious a task. Read more

LUFIA TWO!!!! WOOOO! Read more

HOLY SHIT.... YOU ARE LIKE THE FUCKING BOB ROSS OF LETS PLAYS.....WE NEED MORE OF THIS IN OUR LIVES Read more

Temple of Doom actually DID make me wanna rip people’s hearts out when I was a kid. But that’s mostly because I was fascinated by how the guy was still alive without a heart. I think. Read more

Video games do make me want to replace my hand for an arm cannon and run with the wind blowing my hair to an epic hair-metal song.

Oh man, Nioh. Read more

You can’t copyright game mechanics - the art and music and story and stuff, sure, but a LTTP clone with none of those things is perfectly legal. Read more

I watched this on your YouTube channel (because for some reason the JW Player on Kotaku is utter junk on my browser, but works just fine on other GMG sites like Jalopnik, so go figure that one out) and would absolutely watch more if it became a regular/semi-regular thing. Read more

What a great video/article. I’m currently playing it through entirely in Japanese (got a copy from the JP E-shop, so I’m stuck with it for better or worse!) and boy the Chinese mythological references went straight over my head. I’ve been playing games in Japanese after getting my N2 certification many years ago, and… Read more

Hearing about the religious aspect was actually quite interesting, going with a more “mythological slant” for the English release. But I do wish we have a different subtitle track for Japanese. Also my thoughts on “that” Rex and Pyra interaction. In English, I got the impression that he knew what she was referring to,… Read more

Watching these videos really makes me wanna learn Japanese. Seeing you dissect the languages and get all type of meanings seems like it could make playing some video games that much more insightful. Read more

oi that pronunciation of japanese was like watching an american with a southern accent trying to speak french Read more

The English voice-overs are atrocious. Read more
