Dsider

Yeah he dodges the issue here, but I'm definitely more disappointed that the particularly egregious youtube comments here will be associated with the gaming community at large.

After Jimmy Kimmel’s YouTube jab backfired on Friday, the clip’s YouTube page and Kimmel’s Twitter were hit hard with criticism, anger, and insults. Tonight, Kimmel took a moment to address these comments. He might have made things worse!

The Pokémon Company File Stupid Lawsuit Against PAX Party

by Luke Plunkett
Dsider

I don't see what's stupid about this suit actually. But they should also be suing for that shitty-ass poster those guys made.

The Pokémon Company, the business devoted entirely to managing all things Pokémon, has filed one hell of a lawsuit against the organisers of a PAX party that had been scheduled to go down last week.

I have never once hit the space bar while watching a YouTube video with the intention of scrolling halfway down the page

I wonder if this something YouTube could solve, it seems like they could do it pretty easily with some JS. Buts it’s also not cool to change expected browser behaviour.

by Toshi Nakamura
Dsider

Sharing this because I think it's a BRILLIANT game idea, but ruined by waaaaaay too moe character designs. If it gets localized and reviews are positive in spite of that, I'll bite, otherwise I'll just have to read about it.

I’ll admit, when I first heard the concept of a game where you fight a boss with a trillion hit points , I expected a fun tactical game with cutesy anime girls. What I didn’t expect was an emotional fist to the gut.

Scenery porn is still the best use of current-gen graphics so far. But there's still Cuphead to look forward to on the 2d side!

When Horizon: Zero Dawn was announced at E3 by the makers of Killzone, what most people focused on were the big robot dinosaurs . Which, you know...fair enough. But the landscape and skies are bringing something awesome to the table too. Let’s take a look.

It’s not been a good day for DC Comics. Earlier this morning, the company announced that it was down over $2 million in its total revenue and expenditure for the last financial year.
