Huh, I had completely forgotten about that one.
Random Video Game Crap
- Thread starter Frank
- Start date
It's a 20 some dollar game on your iPhone/iPad, despite being a several year old update to a game from the 90's. There's something wrong with THAT.
Due to various RL stuff, I haven't played a computer game in almost a month. i'm still nowhere near finished with Pillars of Eternity, but I'm also itching to get started on Witcher 3. Playing both at once will just ensure I'll lose interest in both before finishing them. Decisions, decisions. I've played PoE for well over 10 hours, but I'm still in the first act - I figured i'd go slow and do everything and read everything since it'd probably be my only play-through. Because of my indecision, I'm now playing neither and wasting my time messing around with storyless forgettable crap. Dammit.

Because Japanese culture thinks horrifically misaligned teeth are cute.
Not just Japanese. I've heard the same thing from Chinese--slightly crocked or out of place teeth is cute and many opt NOT to fix them for that reason.

Well, yeah, but the Chinese didn't code Splatoon.
What Gas said, plus the large canine is an anime/manga trope.

Euro Truck Simulator is getting just a tad too extreme.
Oh, I know it's a trope. I wasn't expecting it in Splatoon, though. Especially not from ostensible cephalopods.

Visual representation of today:
I'm probably going to pick up L4D2, even though I suck at FPS games (as you'll all remember from TF2). I'm trying to convince a friend to pick up the Shadowrun Returns set (which I already got the last time it was on sale - already had SR, got Dragonfall and Hong Kong for a good price). Valkyria Chronicles for $5? Hmm. I still haven't played Dragon Age II or finished DA:Origins, do I need another time sink?
He could have easily predicted it would have been Patricia Hernandez writing the article, too. Seems like most of the nonsense "shit we need something on the site today" articles come from her.
I don't even go to the sites anymore, if possible I find the news elsewhere or use a pastebin/archive site posted to 4chan threads.
I only saw the image on Tumblr; the only Kotaku articles I seem to end up in anymore are random giddy writings on video games the writer likes, and if it's a game I like too, that's cool. I enjoyed one article going over how invested you can get in the Fire Emblem Awakening climax. I already loved the end of that game, but the article helped me appreciate it in detail.
Step 1: Make terrible game.
Step 2: Get reviews that rightfully shit all over your terrible game.
Step 3: Have huge meltdown on Steam over reviews.
