Joshua Calixto's saved articles

Yeah came here to say this. What actual censorship looks like, instead of, I dunno, making an internal decision to change card art to show less sideboob. Read more

I don’t know. I think their “these images really weren’t for the game we were making and are not representative of the game we have made.” is a perfectly reasonable response.  Read more

“There is no argument for K-pop more exhaustive than ‘Bad Boy,’”

MY MAN.

I say we call it a rebirth. We’ve got a new* writer with a great article in the AVC tradition of “Hey! Here’s something I like. Maybe you’ll like it too!” Read more

It’s all your ignorance, I’m afraid. Read more

As a dedicated “casual” player of the game, what bothers me about this issue is the presumption that Hearthstone HAS to be a pure “skill-oriented” digital CCG.

Kotaku isn’t at fault for reporting on something… Read more

Kotaku should make an article about the controversy caused in the comment section by talking about controversy’s in gaming. Read more

So hold on: you’re claiming that this article is an overreaction while dramatically and extensively overreacting yourself? Impressive total lack of self-awareness, my friend. Read more

Good thing this is “Kotaku” and not “Things That Tekton Cares About”. Read more
