Cecilia D'Anastasio's saved articles

hi! former kotaku and (until a few hours ago) current launcher reporter here, and I just wanted to say this is pretty much exactly correct. leadership never gave us the resources we needed, and promotion of even our biggest/best stories was sporadic at best. loved having the time and space to report out good stuff,… Read more

Nazi bastards like Joshua Moon and his ilk can fuck right off into the nearest bottomless pit or black hole and remove themselves from the universe and existence forever.

Hey Bernie, ever been over to theroot.com? You should check it out sometime. Read more

This does not surprise me at all. I have been working with razer for the past 3 years as one of their distributing partners and they treat all of their business partners like trash. It is either their way or the highway. I have spoken to so many different people from different markets from around the world. And… Read more

I didn’t contribute because we don’t roast people here in Australia, it feels weird. Read more

Cecillia D’Anastasio.

You were, are, and will always be my favorite Kotaku writer. From your Riot exposé to your genuinely amazing journey to find the lost American Sailor Moon Pilot, something that I personally failed to make any headway on several times, your articles have always been a delight.

Thank you for continuing to report on this crap. It grosses me out that I continue to see Riot pushed in other media as the “cool game studio.” I threw up in my mouth when I saw their involvement in HBO’s Ballers show... but I guess it was also kind appropriate to see them associated with a show about rich, womanizing… Read more

I mean, sounds pretty similar to the “food fight” format we see on CNN, but with people that appeal to a 15-25 demo and they’re promoting brands more than agendas. Also 11 guests who all love attention and wanting to promote their brands simultaneously just seems like overload. Read more

I cannot imagine something I would less like to be involved with, consume, or even be aware of. Just reading this article made my day worse. Read more

I’m glad someone feels the same way. I sold my copy after sinking 10 hours in, but running into the same inevitable frustration as you. I’m not a super good player but I get too caught up in my stats, so my gameplay loop was getting slaughtered, carefully building my ratio back up by playing conservatively, then… Read more

Every time I boot up the COD multiplayer I genuinely don’t have fun. I’m going to give it one more shot and if its not fun again then Im giving it the ol uninstall Read more

As someone who has felt for some time that the most recent iterations of CoD have been pretty childish and simplistic, I really love the larger, asymmetrical maps and the fact that the world feels like an actual warzone instead of a paintball arena. Read more

If I find myself getting frustrated or upset, I drop into a Ground War. the larger team/map means I don’t feel as responsible for losing, or having a shitty score. Go do some sniping, maybe grab a helicopter and mess around Read more
