I thought you were going to tell me that Brown Recluses weren't as dangerous as once thought, or something like that, only to read "ah, you don't have to worry about them unless you're in the Mid-West", and my heart just sank. Read more

After reading this headline (and body of the article, of course) I had to cave and go watch the Dead Island trailer. I'm honestly really impressed. The couple of days' worth of hype were right on the money. I hope it isn't disappointing. Read more

Just from the Google Maps overhead, I think the Jackling house looked like a fine building, and one which I would happily have occupied. I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind destroying historic architecture, but I guess it's done. Read more

Not only do I enthusiastically agree with your observation, but I applaud your having helped further paint my image of what playing the game once felt like (in particular, the observational wonder of imagining beyond the boarders of the walkable game). Read more

I've had a similar idea which I would like to throw into this discussion. For years I tried to recall and understand what it was about Pokemon that, in 1996, so excited my imagination like nothing else I could remember. I have a short story to relate now which may only mean something to me, but which shall serve as… Read more

Although I feel bad for my PS3 BlOps playing counterparts, I can't say I am or have been surprised by this situation in any way. It's not the first time that this sort of thing has happened, and I'm sure it won't be the last, and although I am willing to wager that Activision's strict publishing methods are much to… Read more

I own Super Mario Chess—it was a gift from my girlfriend. I love it. It's all very high quality, it comes in this nice tin and the pieces are all hand-painted and well-sculpted. Read more

I kind of lol'd to myself and had a fanboy grief moment when I saw the headline photo, thinking to myself, "when *I* was a kid, our Optimus Prime looked heroic...this one his in the least respectable position known to man (squatting)."

The difference in English versus Japanese dialog would call for different shaped speech bubbles, which would mean severe balance issues. Pretty sure that's the official reason they gave. They originally planned to have PW in there. Read more

I hope I don't get chewed out for the comments section possibly being the wrong place to make suggestions, but I'm excited about this Xbox Live Indie spotlight feature because I've lately been thinking to myself how outstanding this one Indie title is and wanting to share it with people like Kotaku or GamesRadar…

This response as I see it: Read more

Yeah, there's no option for that in my account page. Guess Google hates me. Read more

I love it. The attention to detail and the subtle differences in style between each (like their names at the bottom) are just wonderful. Read more

I hate alliteration...unless it's very impressive. Good title, Owen. Read more

This reminds me of that kid in China who drank gasoline to be like Optimus Prime and after like 10 years he couldn't do math anymore. In fact, I think I read that on Kotaku. Hm. Read more

Very interesting read. I had always noticed that little logo on my Dreamcast(s) but never knew any more than that. Read more

How beautiful. This planet, covered in energy-producing, attractive, and downright inventive utilities like this would look like a fantasy world. I approve. It would be a testament to man's best qualities: forward-thinking, efficiency, and a desire to build the incredible while serving the interests of the species… Read more

@nachobel TOTORO!:

Although I enjoy the reward of getting an achievement, they rarely motivate me to play. In fact, the only titles which I have hoped to get 100% points on (and have not) were Fallout 3 and Braid. With 3 years on Xbox (360) Live, my gamerscore has not broken 10,000, whereas my room mate used to try getting 10,000… Read more

It may look uncannily similar to things I drew in the sixth grade in the margins of my notebooks, but it now looks different enough for me to give it my entirely worthless seal of approval. Read more
