On principle I want to say, "good, asshole got what was coming to him for punching a teenager," but if I listen to my testicles they say, "you never got punched in the arm more in your life than when you were 15, and you still punch and get punched by your bros at regular intervals, so who the fuck cares? Guys just… Read more

Darkest of Days for Xbox 360. I asked for it because, bad reviews aside, I had always wanted to play a video game which allowed one to go back in time to historic battles using modern weaponry. Turns out the game was a steaming hunk of ballsack which looked better fitted to the N64, with screen tearing and a low…

Glad to see the shout-out for CIA World Factbook. Absolutely interesting stuff. Read more

Well, I was happy to see pot on Kotaku, and then sad to hear that it was taken from its rightful owner. At least the boy made it out of the situation alive. Read more

@TheNick316: "clone myself so I can headbutt my own head." Read more

@I_am_error.: "Oh yes, kiddo, back in your grandpepper's day, we used to all get the exact same game. There were no bugs, or title updates, either. And would'ja believe the game you bought the day it came out was the same game 5 years later when you put it back in? Of course I'm telling you the truth." Read more

@UsernameOfTheDead: True statement. Read more

I do not care for this news...

@Tye-The-Czar: I just also point out that they probably called whitey "oni" for reasons that had more to do with imperial aggression and a white supremacist attitude, rather than candid observations about their isolationist attitudes toward the outside world. Read more

@Tye-The-Czar: Did I just get called a racist for pointing out racist tendencies in a culture? Read more

[generic presumptuous observation about unchecked Japanese xenophobia in aforementioned culture which is just a tad behind the ball on P.C. issues like race and ethnicity] Read more

I felt molested today when I realized spam had been shot out of my otherwise (mildly) integritous Twitter account. Read more

@Cchrist: Hey, and not just on this site! If you're like me, you got to root through two e-mail accounts to find out where all on the internet you've used this account and / or password, then go back to those sites and go through their unique password re-setting processes. Read more

@Typhonic: 4. Played that guy through like 10 times. Never beat 2, can't play the original (I mean, I couldn't, even when my PS3 worked, because of insanely crap controls and camera), and I never got past the opening 10 minutes of 3. Once my PS3 broke, I sold all my MGS games out of rage anyway, so it's whatever. Read more

@King of Madness: It gets ire from dicks like me because wonky new controls are wonky. I don't want my MvC to be more approachable, or more simple. I play fighting games so that I can master a complex system, so it feels kind of insulting (and like I'm losing something) to hear that it's being dumbed down. Read more

This just in: a violent (and low-quality) video game based around a touchy theme offends old people who take life too seriously. Not to stray too far, but a question: did the JADL take offense at Inglourious Basterds? Just wondering. Read more

@trithleon: The way it works in Call of Duty is that although weapons do a static number of damage, they get multipliers depending on where they hit on the body, so for instance, an assault rifle bullet hitting the head might get a 1.3x multiplier and therefore do enough damage to kill in "one shot" assuming the… Read more

In answer to the question at the end of the article, no, I have not been to Playstation Home lately. This is because first impressions are lasting. Read more

I agree with the Halo: Reach bit, with the addition of, "I only had $60 to spend and I decided to put it on the one with genuine headshots." Yeah. Black Ops players know that I was disappointed in that regard. Read more

@Joshua Richardson: Perhaps they are mixing up LCD with LED? Read more
