Pure, Uncut Night/Day Note HATE
11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | To: Crecente From: Bashcraft Late last week, I was reading through a forum, a forum I really like and respect — especially for the way they ban and lock down threads. Anyhoo, there was a thread where people we drinking Kotaku hatorade. Nothing new there! When you ban hammer as many people as us, you are bound to make bitter mortal enemies. And that’s a-ok! The interesting part was where one individual listed off the reasons why he/she/it disliked Kotaku: Stuff like he/she/it didn’t like the way we wrote or that we did no original news. (We do tonnes of original news and write decent enough! He/she/it should’ve hated on our spelling. Our spelling sucks.) The kicker? This individual totally hated our daily Notes. More »
Itagaki Scoffs At Heavenly Sword
11:05AM Brian Ashcraft | Beside booze and boob physics, Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki doesn’t like much of anything! Tekken he hates so hard. And the upcoming PS3 title Heavenly Sword? Meh! The game features “Hero Sequences” in which players have to input particular commands to proceed through a Dragon’s Liar-esque cinematic event. In the latest Electronic Gaming Monthly, Itagaki offers his two cents: I’ve never played a good game where the developers put a big icon of the button you’re supposed to press onscreen… I look at Heavenly Sword and it seems really half-assed, because it’s asking you to do all these button-timing sequences but you are not getting much payoff from it. Snap! Heavenly Sword producer Kyle Shubel’s answer to those criticisms? More »
The Littlest PS3 Hater
3:00AM Flynn De Marco | Angry fanboys are getting younger and younger these days. Fun Tech Talk is reporting that a thirteen year old South Carolina boy was picked up by Toys R Us security after it was discovered that he had written “PS3 Sucks” on twenty three plastic PS3 game security cases with permanent marker. The boy’s parents couldn’t be reached so he was put in the custody of child services (scary). When asked why he did it, the boy answered, “I have an Xbox and I hate Playstation. I found the marker lying on the shelf and I guess I was bored. Sorry.” If only he’d saved his hate for anonymously posting into the comments on an internet blog site thus starting a massive flame war like an adult.
