While I obviously have to admit he's a genius, Miyamoto is also one of the biggest jackasses in the industry as well. Oh well, at least he doesn't plaster his name on everything, though I think people only do that after they stop making top selling games. Read more

Unless you're some sort of deep sea creature, going out into space would not actually make you explode. The pressure difference between Earth's atmosphere and a Vacuum isn't great enough cause any damage as long as you're not holding your breath (if you are, say goodbye to your fragile lungs).

Wasn't this already posted on Kotaku or am I losing it? Read more

I'd say that mirroring manga so it reads left to right is what's bullshit, not the other way around. The flow of the images can be disrupted if everything's flipped. If something that abstract doesn't do it for you, there are other, more concrete examples: For those of us who pay attention tot he nitty gritty details,… Read more

@hoster: Based on interviews I've read, I've gotten the impression that Miyamoto is indeed a huge twat so you're probably right :P Read more

After updating to the dev version, the updater seems to be broken, oops! Read more

I thought the TV show its self sucked too, so... no, I wouldn't like it better if it was on TV. It's terrible either way. Read more

Nintendo says there wont be a HD because the Wii already has to many addon gizmos, releases a wifi addon for the wii (which already has wifi). This kind of insanity is why I cannot bring myself to buy Nintendo products anymore. Read more

This whole thing is particularly amusing since an accquaintence of mine has been playing a pirated version of spore since before the game even came out in the states. How's that for successfully counter-piracy measures? Read more

I suspect whatever Nintendo is cooking up will be "better than a hard drive" in the same way that Wii Music is "better than a game." Read more

@AdeptVoice: Don't be silly. No one's saying that they sold more because of the lack of protection. What this does show is that it didn't hurt them either. Read more

I can't wait for this game. The Xbox 360 needs more high definition 2d games. Read more

3 last names in one family, and the mom shares her husband's last name. Wow. Read more

@Does Not Equal (ダズノット): The scrotched earth guys didn't pay anything to the author of Tank Wars, so I doubt it. Read more

Looks like a real time TANK WARS. I can't wait. Read more

It feels odd to be rooting for the big guys, but if there's one thing I hate more than giant megacorporations, it's patent trolls. Way to go MS! Read more

World of Warcraft with a Guild Wars class system... think I'll pass. Read more

I think you mean "in the black" if I'm understanding this correctly. Read more

His blog has tons of comments blaming "fanboys." Fanboys of what? Read more

It's a video game. This is the equivalent of militant Christians complaining about witchcraft in World of Warcraft. These people are idiots. Religion weather it's good or not (I personally think not these days) is part of history and it'd be kinda silly to leave out such a huge cultural force in a game like this. Read more
