Welcome to the Best of Kotaku, where I round up all of this weekās best content.
This weekās best image is a mashup of Adventure Time with Yoshiās Island, by Classy Raptor. I particularly like it because I can totally see Jake molding himself into Yoshi to take Finn on adventures. Classy Raptor indeed.
Moving on to our Best Of content this week, we kick things off as usual with a comment from the community.
The Best Comment From The Community
Our favorite comment of this week comes to you from -Silver- in response to Evanās investigation into who stole Halo 4:

Rrrrrrr, this makes me so angry! How the hell does that entitle you to a free copy of anything? Iām glad these developers are turning a profit on their games! Hundreds of people sink two to three years of their lives into making them! But how the hell anyone can translate that as ātherefore, I deserve a copy for freeā is beyond me.
You donāt deserve a copy for free. It may not be a lost sale to the devs, but you sure as fuck are not entitled to a free copy just because you canāt afford to pay the full price. Wait a few months for a price cut, or buy it second hand if you have to. But donāt steal a copy. Because thatās exactly what it is, even without lost sales ā stealing. And itās pathetic.
