Worth noting: as I said in the article, that's a video from Counter-Strike Online's zombie mode. Not sure what the new game will look like yet, because Nexon decided to do the whole (dumb) thing where they announce a game without any images or video. Ugggggh. Read more

Never been much of a CS player myself (missed that boat back in the day; should really give it a try now, though), but thanks for the info! Do you happen to know if the zombie mode in Counter-Strike Online is similar to anything modders created over the years? Read more

Now playing

We went around and around about this in our Top Secret Kotaku Chat Bunker, but just to fill everyone in:

To my mind, though, the problem here is that a lot of people are going to read a Steam page and feel like they've done their research—especially in regard to a classic series that's never let them down before. Why shouldn't they trust that? Read more

They didn't. That was one party. Otherwise the convention was held in downtown San Francisco's Intercontinental Hotel. Read more

There were a few Airbender games, but they weren't very good. I played one on PSP ages ago. It was a super generic beat-'em-up. Didn't do anything cool with bending at all. Nor seems cool, though. I dig the idea of actually affecting the game world with powers. That's the real core of Airbender and Korra—not the Read more

Yep! It's a recruits program offshoot. I wrote a big post about my plans for it here. Read more

Grilled cheese! I'm actually just kind of a giant child when it comes to food. I adore macaroni and cheese as well, especially when it's done up with all sorts of fixings (broccoli, bread crumbs, bacon, chicken, etc). Read more

It's really a job-to-job, person-to-person thing, really. I know plenty of people who love what they're doing one month, then hate it the next. Projects ebb and flow, whether big-budget or indie. And yeah, some people struggle to find their place or get burnt out over time. Burnout, I think, is an especially big Read more

I am never not one with the RPS hivemind. We are linked by heart, spirit, and also all of our brain stems are tangled together and we're too lazy to do anything about it. Read more

Why stick with tripe? Animal stomach kinda grosses me out. I was thinking of instead serving up some social justice warrior curry with a side helping of social justice warrior veggie stir-fry. After that, perhaps a light social justice warrior cheesecake for dessert. Read more
