      Hohoh. At least it's better than some measures.

      I'm interested to see the reaction to that, as it's already done here in the UK.

  1. Some, I'm sure, would, if Crecente publicly apologized and re-starred everyone involved. Not all though. And Crecente would never apologize..
  2. Got this from a mod on Kotaku. I didn't see one comment that fell below the line of the triangle.
  3. Nothing like some good old pirating to really get the veggies all worked up.

      Discworld Wizards main hobbys are: Drinking, killing each other. Way down on the list is procreation and lastly: magic.

  4. Really wish I brought my PSP. All caught up on AB and AB Seasons, for now.

  5. The Anime Expo had the streets of Little Tokyo with a few more cosplay than normal.

      So you went, eh? How was it?

      Nope. Just hung out in Little Tokyo. Shopping and eating. Did you know there is a Yoshi pillow pet?

  6. If they can do it and make it as good as their predecessors, then more power to them.
  7. Forgot the PSP at home. Only the iPhone is a gaming option until Tuesday. The horror!

      I hope you like shoddy controls...

      I'm sure Angry Birds will suffice. ;)

  8. Been destroyed by doughnuts, cupcakes, and a steak sand. I'm blissfully full and ready to nap. If only I had the time.

      I prefer my steak supple and sans sand

      "Steak sand" sounds interesting. Is that when you grind perfectly-cooked steak to the consistency of sand and proceed to ingest them like sugar sticks?

      You actually inject it straight into the bloodstream.

  9. The wife brought it up, but I'm happy just going to Legoland for a couple of days. The kids would be scared by the cosplay. They get scared by Chuck E Cheese, the OG furry.
  10. The Anime Expo is this weekend in LA, fools. (Anytime you say "LA" you must follow it up with "fool", as in "We don't play that way. This is LA, fool!") Anime Expo
  11. A young Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. Absolutely a great soundtrack to the movie "Girl Crazy". Tommy Dorsey and company give an outstanding edge to classic Gershwin tunes. This is not even near the best song in the soundtrack. That honor goes to "Boy, What Love Has Done To Me".
  12. You said it twice. I heard you the first time. I thought about that. And I realize that is what you mean to convey, that you view his star as a symptom. Understood.
  13. I'm actually going to agree with Faiblesse Des Sens on this one. I understand most people do not care for improper writing skills. However, from the most deep, sincere part of my heart, I cannot hate or dislike someone for not being literate. That's me. I dislike certain things that are unfair, dismissive, and hurtful, but King has never been that way to me. He has always been cordial with me, even when we disagree. Does he deserve a star? Maybe. I don't know why he got it. Maybe he makes the insightful and high quality photoshops and contributes in a special way I don't understand. It's also possible I am too kind in my summation of King. But, even if you feel he doesn't deserve a star, that is an issue with Kotaku, not the individual King.
  14. He choked for the players. It wasn't even funny. All that damn hard work down the drain because of bad play calling. The team played like a team on the field. That's why they are winners in my mind, and I love them for it.
  15. The other thing could be that Kotaku knows the comment isn't that great and will spark debate. If so, they are setting up someone for failure, which is unacceptable to do to your community.
  16. I don't know. I emailed Crecente last week about a great write up a commenter did in speakup. Never saw it make the frontpage, even though it was a wonderfully thought through piece. That last sentence in the quote you gave does make me chuckle, though.
  17. I can't blame them for going after pageviews. It's how they make their money. My chief complaint in the focus of the gaming industry (Bash) and the way they have handled the redesign. In the industry I work in, if a customer complains, it goes through layers of people and is discussed in quality events we hold every year. Improvements are always expected in quality. Then, today, Kotaku has been one screwed up site. The ca and uk.kotaku sites have both been, apparently, decommissioned, as they are redirecting to the "new and improved" site. I shake my tiny fist at you, Gawker! You make a classic mistake here, TheRevanchist: commenters and visitors are not Gawker's customers. The folks they sell ad space to are their customers. Or is it? The model is more two-sided. 1. The customers in the case I speak of, are the people. They want to see certain things from the supplier. 2. The other customer model is the advertising sales. This is not possible to do without the first being up to par. In essence, to satisfy my number two, you must take care of the number one. Customer 1 is unhappy and shrinking, and Customer 2 is probably getting unhappy and starting to shrink, as well. But, dear sir, that is how I view the business model of generating cash from advertising dollars. That is also why the Nielsen ratings are so important to TV and radio, as they show how much business they will get from customer 2.

  19. That's odd you bring up the trouble with tribbles. I was playing KoTOR, again, and noted the similarity of the gizka and the tribbles. Both on board ships and the ships get infested with the damn things. Now, gizka, I would just as soon kill. They make cute noises, but they don't come in cool colors like the tribbles do.
  20. Chewie will never surrender. Neither will I, unless you really want me to. Then I might, if that is okay with you.
