Welcome, Kotaku clan, to our relaxing Thursday night open thread. We have had a dearth of late-night open threads of late, and I can only blame the holidays for that. Fortunately, we're back and running.
How were your holidays? How has the new year been treating you? Have you finally beaten all of the gaming experiences you got? Are you caught up in the horse-race of the Republican Presidential primary?
Today I realized that after all this time,...
