Since I'm not really attached to either Kotaku format, I can say I like the new format because it's so mind numbingly dumb, I can use it as an example in HOW NOT TO DESIGN A WEBSITE. The person below me will either call foul or foam at the mouth.

Racing in general where the other cars are impervious to any sort of bump or damage, yet the slightest tap to your vehicle drops the speed to zero and spins out of control. and rubber band racing AI.

Years ago, it might have been true, but every following cup has only killed any desire for that dirty brown water beverage. The person below me psyches up for something important by blasting rock/metal and headbanging.

You don't need legs to win, and sometimes, you don't need arms.

24/7 and sometimes without alcohol. The person below me has woken up in a strange place (sans clothing = bonus points)

I thought the same before I had my art teacher actually explain that to me. It's not a matter of "anyone can hang a blank picture with a dot and call it art", it's about how it's a disintegration of reality. If you follow the progress of painting through history, you would notice it got to its peak at one point regarding mimicking reality. There was nowhere to go from that point, so artists started destroying reality through their pictures and it started going from impressionism to basic objects and finally that dot on a blank canvas. At the moment though, I don't believe there is any clear art direction in our world, so drawing that dot on a blank canvas doesn't serve any purpose because it has already been done and it fulfilled its purpose. The person who did it first though, he didn't do it because he couldn't draw better, he did it because he understood painting quite well. (this was just paraphrased, but I hope you get what I mean) The point I'm kinda trying to make is that because you get inspired by a muffin, doesn't mean the muffin is a work of art. A lot of people use "random lines/blank canvas" as their argument how art is subjective, but I think that argument is flawed for the reasons I mentioned. I'm just saying art is subjective and open to interpretation. What one man finds art another might not.

Of course, sometimes you have to choose if you prefer them alive or dead. It was a tough choice, but I won't reveal my decision. The person below me has canceled or shirked important social/family obligations just to play single player video games or raid in an MMO.

Subjective thread is subjective. What one person calls art another may not agree. Art is subject to interpretation, it can be found everywhere and it can be found nowhere. Games can be many types of art, and they cannot be art at all, it just depends on who the audience is. Some people may think of games like Call of Duty or Halo as art, whereas others may see games like Rez, Okami, or other games as art. I've seen blank canvases hung in art museums, heralded for their depth, and I've seen detailed drawings dismissed as rubbish and games will be the same. Art is stupid.

Again, it is not a blade. Just because I grip it with my hand does not mean it needs a blade name. If it's blunt, it's more like a mace used to bludgeon someone, or hell, why not even call it an axe? Just because you try to fix stupid with stupid does not make it unstupid. The Keyblade is a stupid weapon.

If pulling the trigger is releasing energy and there is no barrel or exhaust for it to escape from at the opposite end of the blade, then YOU JUST BLEW YOUR HAND/ARM OFF. Definitely the choice for a SeeD commando.

The Huntsman takes any kind of skill? I just fire it randomly and get headshots because of laughable hit-detection.

The person below me will actually post something the person below him/her does.

Balls can be a deadly force to be reckoned with. but as for some of the stupidest weapons in video games, I must name a few: 1) The Klobb from Goldeneye on the N64. Beyond pathetic damage and tiny magazine, dual wielding these babies only made you twice as dumb. Even after emptying a magazine into a soldier, you would have to reload and fire again just to hope to cause him some minor discomfort. 2) The Razorback for the Sniper in TF2. Nowadays, it's just a sign of how clueless to your surroundings you are. In it's initial release form when it also decreased your movement speed, it showed you were just a moron. 3) The Gunblade. Could have been something interesting like a giant bayonet mounted to a ridiculous gun, but instead the gun just ends in a blade. Do you have to reload these things? Why are there revolver and magazine-fed gunblades? Does not loading the gunblade make it do less damage? What even happens if you pull the trigger, since there is no way for the bullet to exit the gun part? 4) The Keyblade. It's not even a blade. Just adding the word "blade" to something that is not sharp does not make it a blade. and the list will go on...

Burgers are delicious and you can modify it with so many combinations, with toppings, double, triple, quadruple burgers and so on, cheeses, buns. So many choices. The person below me poses in the mirror at least twice a week.

Yup.

Here's to the pencil pushers. May they all get lead poisoning.

I got assimilated by the Borg and all I got was this crappy cybernetic prosthetic.

I remember those parts, the first time I thought it was neat, the second time I was thoroughly annoyed with it. The Ice Gun was also fun, freezing an enemy, then charging up to them and engaging the Mighty Foot to shatter them into many pieces. Follow up would be the reverse of the Shrink Gun, the Enlarger, where it made enemies grow until they exploded.

While the quote is not 100% accurate, I finally snapped and remember it was with Steve Martin and John Candy. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

Changed his icon.

Baked beans are fucking awesome, especially when you cook them with a couple slices of bacon, not to mention if I have a lighter, I am a weapon of mass destruction afterwards. The person below me cried at least once while playing a video game.

I ACCEPT THAT OFFER, AND RAISE YOU A BAR OF SOAP. Soap on a Rope, saving more than lives.
