Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:39:34 EDT

Next time you're on a multiplayer server, you might want to ask everyone who's a Canadian, and then ask who among them are dudes. Because according to a Microsoft survey, every fifth one of them (in the long run) has

Total Mortal Kombat says it got its hands on a Catwoman render for the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe title. I did some scrounging for Catwoman pics to see if there was anything obvious out there that could serve

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:09:22 EDT

The Wilhelm Scream. Cinephiles recognize it instantly (you only need to hear it once in the above video). It's been reused so many times since it was first recorded in 1951 that its inclusion today is almost beyond cliche, easter

I'm not sure why it's breaking news that a game announced for PC/Mac is not, in fact, coming to the Playstation 3, or any console. This just in, Ford announces no plans to make Priuses. But PlayStation Universe yesterday, recalling

This hits close to home, because home is a shithole (that's what $1500 rents you in Silicon Valley) and I'll soon be paying IKEA plenty to make it look less so, because it's right around the corner in the East

Owen Good commented on Kotaku Originals: Recipe for a Douche Simulator

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 10:48:08 EDT

@.endejas.: I feel like any explanation I give will just sound like excuses, but here goes anyway.

I'm a bad gamer, basically. I mean, you saw how I held the controller in that GTA IV video - so, I'm a spaz. Bottom line, I didn't finish Bourne but turned in a review anyway. The general consensus was that it wouldn't be fair to a game of this scope, nor would it help my credibility of the site's, to publish it as it was. And now since we're almost a month from the release, we're moving on without a review.

I'd be glad to share my incomplete opinion of the game offline and in a nonofficial status.

Owen Good commented on Part XI: Deadspin Hall Of Fame Inductee...Will Leitch

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:50:16 EDT

"Do not be remembering the most natural man ever to wear spiked shoes.
The canniest fielder and the longest hitter,
Who squatted on his heels
In a uniform muddied at the knees,
Till the bleacher shadows grew long behind him.
Who went along with Chick and Buck and Happy
Because they treated him so friendly-like,
Hardly like Yankees at all.
With Williams because Lefty was from the South too.
And with Risberg because the Swede was such a hard guy.
Who made an X for his name and couldn't argue with
Comiskey's sleepers.
But who could pick a line drive out of the air ten feet outside the foul line
And rifle anything home from anywhere in the park.

For Shoeless Joe is gone, long gone,
A long yellow grass-blade between his teeth
And the bleacher shadows behind him."

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:30:38 EDT

How about this, ma'am, if there was in fact a rape scene in Grand Theft Auto IV, or any video game (but especially that one) - A) we would have heard about it by now and B) it would be the subject of efforts by people a hell of a lot more influential than a state senator.

So if that doesn't trip your bullshit radar that this is a load of crap, lady ... This isn't Watergate. There isn't some major scandal that's going to be uncovered by a politician in the double A leagues.
