FunkyJ commented on Fishnet-Clad Robot Legs Are No Match For The Brainbuster Special!, at 11:51 PM on Jul 13 @Smeagol92055: @Waterhouse: I reckon if you were to nuke a town in America - nowhere big mind you, just a little place no one has heard of - that in 20 to 30 years that American artists would also be making similar film and comic to the Japanese.

FunkyJ commented on Cliff Bleszinski? Huge Kojima Fan, at 9:03 PM on Jul 10 I'm sick of the press making everything out as a conflict. I realise that Kotaku was born from newspaper journalists desire to write about videogames, but you're on the intrawebs now, you don't need to compete with other tabloids and you don't need to write conflict into every story. There's heaps of respect for gaming developers within the community, and for people to claim every little comment is an attack on another is growing old. more » [kotaku]

Both Left and Right philosophies are inappropriate to analyse politics and social condition in the modern technological world we've found ourselves in. Neither leftist or rightist views are going to help us out of the credit crunch, the oil prices, the environmental issues surrounding global warming, terrorism or whatever "big issue" the world is facing. more » [io9]
