What isn’t fun for me is being unable to find a game on this $60 thing I bought less than a year ago. Thank god for them finally deciding, after a decade of fan moaning, to ditch the paid map model on Modern Warfare. Because while paid DLC isn’t what emptied the PC game of players, community splitting via paid DLC… Read more

Used to be a big fan. Saw him at OSU once, then afterward was told that he was making one of the female organizers very uncomfortable, inviting her to his hotel room or something; it was no surprise when he got called out on sexual misconduct, and was disappointing to hear they didn’t pin anything on him. I’m from… Read more

You had me thinking there was actually a silhouette shaped like Goku. Oh well! I’m not sure how jazzed I would be about that, but I’d love Crono to be included. Read more

I was very psyched, and saw their mention of cross-play, but I haven’t heard anyone directly confirm this will be available for PC. That’s the only thing I’m interested in here. Playing with my Discord buddies would be absolutely fantastic, but not all of them own Xbox Ones. So. Ya know. I hope this turns out to be… Read more

I’d love for someone attached to this alleged project to stand in front of me and explain why they think this is better than any of the previous Sonic designs. The little pudgeball one was fine. The bad dude with a rad ‘tude one from the Dreamcast era onward was fine. This is awful. While prior Sonics might not have… Read more

So here’s the video I mentioned. If you don’t follow him, YMS is a fantastic movie critic. But anyway, he covers the first two seasons in this entertaining and insightful multi-part video essay, including what worked about 1 and what didn’t work about 2, as well as the politics behind the scenes. If you’ve got some…

Not wrong. Fan of the Office. Fan of social justice. But people are really, really, really fucking vocal these days about even the littlest transgressions of sensitivity. And, whether true or not, it certainly *feels* like there cannot be characters in modern media who portray outdated social norms / biases or general… Read more

Are we sure he did that to be a dick, and not because AMC slashed his budget following season 1? Because AMC slashed his budget following season 1, rather than increasing it. I don’t want to talk down if you know more about the matter than I do, but most of what I know about it is from part 1 of YMS’s breakdown of… Read more

That’s goddamn funny. I approve.

Shame. He’s fan-fucking-tastic in the comic.

They shouldn’t have taken their audience for granted. Read more

Fandom sure does suck. I always hate when I land on their sites for info, and hope I can collect it before the ads start hitting me. Interestingly, Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert of the Talking Simpsons podcasting network (formerly of Laser Time, and Bob co-hosts the long-running Retronauts gaming podcast) used their… Read more

Wow. I saw the...what are they saying there, scalping? skelping? The not-quite-ghost-sex scene from High Spirits on TV in the 90s juuust as I was rounding the curve toward pubescence, and it made me feel all sorts of ways. I’d nearly forgotten it existed, since it was just something I came across on TV that felt… Read more

To be fair, I’ve had no ability to delay gratification for my entire life.

Oh, man, and any time I'm trying to browse GMG sites on my MacBook Pro. It takes so long to load, things pop in so slowly, and even clicking and scrolling barely work until the entire site is loaded in. It makes me feel like there's something wrong with my computer. But then I go and browse *anything else* on the… Read more

THAT INTERRUPT MY FUCKING PODCASTS YES I DID FORGET TO MENTION THAT DIDN’T I o_o

Nah, they need to fix the fact that a visit to their site can use 100-150MB of data. It took me months to realize the reason I kept going over my data plan, when it had never been a problem in my life to that point, was because every time I visited Kotaku or Gizmodo (which I did on every work trip to the bathroom and… Read more

I just thought, reading the leaks, “there’s no way Apple is going to put the word ‘Max’ in one of their product names. No way.” And of course, typing all this out now I’m just thinking of the episode of the Simpsons where Homer changes his name to Max Power.

I don’t get it, though. Valve is saying they’re required to not save your age info more than a day? Microsoft never asks me for my age when I’m poking around the Xbox store in my browser. One presumes this is because they have my age on file. I assume Valve does, too (it’s been 14 years since I signed up so I don’t… Read more

Wow, I had no idea about trackpad mode. That’s amazing. I wish the control center ones did more, though. Like, pressing hard on Bluetooth ought to show me connected (or connectable) devices. Same thing with the wifi button and available networks. These are among about a dozen things (like not being able to… Read more
