While that may be your personal experience with that specific game, the overwhelming reality is that online games (not just MMOs) do not favor new players. You need to get in on the ground floor, in many cases - in a beta and stay with it religiously, learn the ins and outs and be aggressive, and once the game has… Read more

Vid of the year.

You've just described pretty much every online multiplayer game since the dawn of time. Read more

I don't think your position is inappropriate knowing what we know about the ME artists, however, in this case - I believe that the onus is STILL on the AoS production to comment on its origin. At the very least, we know that ME was produced long before AoS, so either they both swiped from a 3rd source, or AoS swiped… Read more

Since the current cited source is "Mass Effect concept art", one would assume that it was something created by staff artists during the development of the game that the building appeared in. Until anybody uncovers that the Mass Effect artist swiped it from somewhere else, the onus is on Marvel's production to explain… Read more

No breaks are to be given. It's the same exact building. Look at the pictures. Read more

I know, but I'm not a PC builder and/or OS loader/configure-er. I need to buy my stuff off-the-shelf/plug-and-play. Read more

Pffssshh, 90's robots got nothin on 80's robots. Transformers, Robotech, Voltron, Robocop, Johnny-5, R.O.B. ... the list goes on. Read more

Form factor and price on that is great, but do you think that the specs could run Steam games equivalent to what these Steam boxes will? Read more

To each their own, I agree with Kotaku's assessment that it looks like something out of the 90's. Read more

Yeah, on the rollout of Steam Machines, that Cyberpower (different company than Maingear) is the winner in terms of affordability. I bet that a lot of people looking at price as the most important factor will probably jump on that. Again, I'm just going by what Maingear prices their systems at, and desktops and… Read more

Yeah, I'm thinking, as fugly as that one might be it's going to be a decent seller for people looking to put a Steam Box on their living room TV setup. Read more

But this doesn't use mini-ITX, and the machines with equivalent stats on their site are around $700 and up. Read more

"affordable", I've never seen small form factor PCs come in anywhere close to affordable. Not holding my breath that this will be less than $1000 much less "affordable" (which, IMO should be sub $500). Read more

"Steel" series. Made of plastic. Read more

No it can not. Read more

If you ask me, over the past 10 years MEGA64 have contributed far greater things to the landscape of gaming culture than Kotaku. Read more

It wasn't very expensive if I recall, I think I paid around $40 for it. They did some eBay auctions for a few sketch-used props years and years ago, the Katamari Damacy costume that Shawn wore went for way more and was too rich for my blood at the time. Read more

I am a purveyor of fine MEGA64 artifacts. I own the backpack that he wore in the classic Resident Evil 4 sketch. Read more

I'll buy it if it's the exact one Rocco kissed. Read more
