Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES. I'm looking forward to quitting smoking because I hope that when my throat de-smokitizes I'll be able to hit those high notes again :D Read more

Well it looks every bit as craptacular as we've come to expect from the man (and Kevin James whom he can't seem to quit), but the visual effects sure look neat. Pac Man gobbling a bus into little pixel cubes. I might see it at the second time around theater for cheap. Or never see it ever. We'll see what happens. Read more

Oh wow. My OG Optimus was sucked into a black hole beneath my couch never to be seen again before we moved homes in my 8th year. To make things right, my otherwise worthless human being of a grandmother took me to Meijer for my birthday to pick out a toy and, unable to find G1 Optimus, I settled on Laser Optimus. What… Read more

The end of my love affair with JRPGs took place around the time Call of Duty 4 came out. It was a perfect storm of elements. I was fresh out of high school and going to college as well as working 30-odd hours a week. Finding time to play games at all became more difficult, and JRPGs were still, inexplicably, locked… Read more

Getting the good ending of Chrono Cross and finding out who Kid really was. Makes me cry every time. Also if you've played the game you know I'm not missing the point of this being a Chrono Trigger question. Read more

I'm looking forward to this game and its characters. But their names are, all of them, horrible. Read more

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's coming back. But. Eh. I've been on the Rocksmith train for a while now and I don't see anything but drums and vocals here being any fun. Man, I sure do love music game drumming though. Read more

I legitimately feel bad about being that guy, but my fair level of excitement to see this was almost immediately deteriorated as the trailer rolled along because all I could think was, "it's going to be the same guys punching the same other guys (who wear the same old armor) who seem to be led by...this same guy who's… Read more

Anthony, I genuinely appreciate your humility in writing this piece. I watched HAWP back in the early days, though I eventually bailed (comedic sensibilities didn't jibe anymore, not an issue of quality), but once you started writing for Destructoid I found myself very, very annoyed with you. It was a matter of hubris… Read more

Of course Egoraptor is at least partially responsible for this. God bless him. Read more

I can't shake the feeling that will simply never happen. The vibe I got when I read (and re-read) JTHM was that Vasquez had sort of written himself into a corner. I'd check it out if it ever did come back, but I don't expect it to, or need it to. It was a fun read when I was younger, but I never think about it these… Read more

I funded Code Hero. I can't believe how long ago that was. It was only like $25 but you know, I work minimum wage in Ohio and basically always have, so I thought I was investing in something that might help me learn coding well enough to at least have a far fetched shot at ever getting out of the minimum wage world… Read more

So, with my drunklexia I misread the title (while scrolling! I should add) as "The Best Cosplay From Kotakon 2015". Which left me with the following aching query: when will Kotaku start its own convention?

HOLD ON. I know that sounds insane. Just bear with me though.

I don't have the numbers, but I know the vibe I've… Read more

My first reaction is a cynical one, something along the lines of, "just paint your regular New 3DS XL yourself," or "slap a sticker on it". But then, having found out that the limited edition anniversary edition PS4 went on sale and sold out in a matter of hours—right before I even found out it was a thing—I know the… Read more

Ew. Read more

I used to hate this show because of the fake "reality" way in which they presented otherwise fine experiments. I knew I was going to have a slew of new reasons to hate it when I saw the commercial for the Simpsons episode. I feel about that the way I feel about this: no one on the planet thought a human being could be… Read more

Everyone ought to take just a second and go send her a supportive tweet. The only way to beat a 'movement' of idiots so large is to completely overshadow them. Good people always outnumber assholes. But they don't get nearly as loud. For every Fred Phelps out there making a bad name for Christians, for example, there… Read more

I reckon they should just offer both options. Honestly, putting a console style controller on an arcade cabinet in a post-Wii, "games are more mainstream than they ever have been" era does make a lot of sense, even if it offends nostalgic sensibilities. At the same time it IS an arcade machine, and they ought to offer… Read more
