  1. I don't think they are short-changing themselves. They obsviously made a lot of money on their investments, and still continue to turn a profit. When merchandising product, such as t-shirts, mugs, and commemerative plates from the Franklin Mint, the maker of the merchadise will typically take on the cost of production and pay the liscensee for the rights to put on their logos and such. Hence, AB is currenly a cash machine. I don't see them shrinking as a company. With cash flow like they have attained, allows them to make acquisitions and grow their own products. I can see their in-game advertising make in millions in revenue and pointing users to their next big project of theirs.
  2. I have to be the only person on this site who is pro-AB. I love to play it in the bathroom or sitting in the doctor's office. My kids love it. I'd totally wear a AB shirt to a gaming convention, partly out of love and, admittedly, partly just to start some shit with these people that call themselves "hardcore gamers". I saw someone dressed up as an Angry Bird on Halloween and simply loved the costume. I'd totally wear it, because I could hide my fat underneath all that fabric.
  3. Believe me, I had a man crush on PCA. Now I'm just admiring the wall art behind him.
  4. Yes. I believe it may even be the same outfit.
  5. Looks exactly like your old Kotaku photo, sir.
  6. I carved out the traditional pumpkin face one today with the kids, only one of which was okay with getting the hands dirty. The other was kinda grossed out. But, as easy as some people make it look, that ain't easy. No matter who doesn't love your pumpkin, oh mighty one, at least you know the love and work you put into it. I'm roasting the seeds tonight, which also makes a good memory.
  7. The Phantom Menace. Coming in 3D to a theater near you in 2012. Might cry taking my boy to see a Star Wars movie in a theater.

      It doesn't have a character that Lucas turned into a cartoon Manchild.

      Is it really that big of a deal to see a Star Wars movie in theater? Only half the series was any good and any version that will be in theaters will be an abomination of the original.

      I'm guessing it is if Star Wars is a big deal to you and you have very fond memories of seeing it in theaters as a child.

  8. Game 7. Pop up deep down left line. Caught. Game over. Cards win!

  11. Being a reality TV whore, I got caught up on Real Housewives of NJ and Jersey Shore just before the repairman showed up to haul away the beast for a day. Once she is back, I'm updating my ps3 and playing Uncharted 2.

      I'm ashamed to say I've been watching Jersey Shore.....this season is fairly silly. Even things like Snooki not having underwear on, when you can clearly see the underwear under the blurred out part

      Very interesting read. When I think about it, it seems kind of strange Google hasn't drifted in that direction already.

      I read the orginal post the other day. Weird that the takeaway that article writer had was he laid into google. Not like he held back punches for Amazon.

  12. The iOS Game Center pisses me off. Back to the DS.

  13. [PC] Batman Arkham City preorder - $33.96 GMG is having their Autumn sale with a 20% off voucher for most of their games. The biggest value that I saw was the preorder for Batman Arkham City http://www.greenmangaming.com/games/action/batman-arkham-city/ Use voucher: AUTUM-NSALE-20PEC Expires on 10/17 Note: game cannot be activated through Steam.. even if it did, you'd still have to use GFWL just like in Arkham Asylum, but for this price, it's pretty hard to pass up for what will most likely be an excellent game.
  14. NewEgg.com has Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary pre-order (Xbox 360) for $39.99 - $10 off code EMCYTZT817 = $29.99 with free shipping
  15. Foster The People on SNL. Hipsters. Need baths. Pretty sure one of them will OD in the next year.

      They're a hipster band? Only my friends who listen to mainstream music are into them.

      I think it's just that they look like hipsters. A lot.

      Probably just marketing then since that's "the thing" these days.

  16. I am seriously in awe of this tech! The problem is when they scan my memory and all they see is lewd things not meant to be seen.
  17. The SW books usually do a good job of outlining what events happened previously and explaining things. But, that does vary from author to author. I've been looking forward to this book for a year now. This is what I will be reading and re-reading through the holidays.
  18. Welcome! People here are cool for the most part. And you will see more people you know from Kotaku posting here as well. I enjoy this place because of the close community and people are respectful. I hope your experience is as good as mine!
  19. So, who is "corelliansun"? A mystery!
