At this point I’m going to Ladbrokes and betting against everything Kotaku promotes. They are like Jim Cramer of the gaming industry.

    I’ve been playing Minecraft off and on since the Beta. I usually play the “All the mods” packs when they launch.

    I do not understand how people get so emotionally invested in an IP.

    If it isn’t a good movie who cares? Just spend your time doing something else.

      Can’t speak for everyone, but the reason that I care when one of my favorite IPs has a terrible movie, is because the terrible movie ensures that a good one will never be made.

      They did a great job with Fallout, and now they are making a second season.

      Then there’s Borderlands.

      I still haven’t seen it, but I already know that the Borderlands movie I would have loved will never exist.

        Super Mario Bros got another movie.

        But generally, video games don’t usually work as movies. So it isn’t that big of a loss, lol

          Super Mario Bros got another movie.

          Not all of us have another 30 years to wait for everyone to forget about the first disaster.

    The most frustrating thing about this article is that it completely ignores that good movies targeted at kids still have to be good. Personal complaints aside, the new Mario movie was reasonably good for adults and great for kids. Pixar keeps churning out things that are fantastic on many levels. Bluey is an amazing show that can resonate with kids and parents. I don’t for a minute buy the elitist bullshit of “well you’re not a kid so you can’t comment.” Muppet Treasure Island holds the fuck up as an adult so this writer can fuck right off.

      It was mid, until Jack Black’s Bowser hit the screen, and then it was top notch. He absolutely carried that film.
