Replace a few proper nouns and you've summed up the exact reason many of us enjoy Duke Nukem Forever. You should enlighten some of the staff at Kotaku about this seemingly alien concept of "fun" and "make believe" you've discovered. Read more

$4,000 buys a nice MX5. Read more

I want so badly to love this car, but just can't take it seriously as anything other than a heavily modded Lotus. Read more

No kidding. Read more

Played the demo. Graphics were fine, if slightly dated. Gameplay was no more simplistic than COD or Halo (circle strafe, shoot, pick up ammo, repeat). Read more

Gearbox wanted the IP so they could make their own Duke Nukem game, so they bought up all the scattered pieces of the DNF project along with it. They took the unfinished and outdated chunks that were there, stitched them together into a playable game and released it to close this long and outrageous chapter in the… Read more

The $17,000 seems exorbitant until you consider it's painted PM yellow. Read more

I would agree that the above statement is, in fact "the best" I have heard this situation summed up. Read more

I don't get the Kinect hate, or even the logic of most criticisms of it. Read more

It's an interesting treatise you've composed here Lydia, but you've overlooked the obvious answer to all your questions about the rationale behind lingering sexism- and that is that girls have cooties. Read more

In fact, she was annoyed watching me play Bayonetta and hearing about what a great female character… Read more

Jesus Christ, Jalopnik. Thanks for starting my morning off by making me depressed and sad as hell. Read more

Laughing ha ha. The picture of the lion with the scratchy recording of a growl, driving over Rutledge's "house", naming the truck "Chuck Norris", moving the log so he barreled into the water... there were plenty of genuinely funny moments in that episode. Read more

I have yet to play the game, but after hearing people make alternating claims of either "penis monsters" or "giant penises", I started looking to see what they're talking about. After scouring the Internet, all I've been able to find are women encased in something from the waist down (Aliens style) and moaning. Read more

There's been a default female Shepard since the first game. I like to play as a female because Jennifer Hale's VO work is better, I'm tired of shaved head male protagonists and if I have to stare at the avatar's ass for 40+ hours, I'd rather it not be a dude's. Read more

If his jowls continue sagging at their current rate, no Photoshop will be needed in about 4 years. Read more
