new redesign is really nice, except for the part where the byline is 5% darker than the background of the page

gawker's coverage of groupon has gotten so bizarre

savage the company incessantly for months, republish a multiple thousand word story about how groupon has made it thru the rough times and is really going to be profitable and that the CEO is actually pretty nice and okay to work with and then not less than 24 hours later run a story titled "who the hell is going to invest in groupon"

v schizo

Correction, Oct. 27, 2011: This article originally misspelled Tom Friedman's last name and Stephenie Meyer’s first name. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

Correction, Nov. 2, 2011: This article originally implies that Gawker “wrote” the quoted story. Gawker reprinted the story from the Rumpus. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

I could totally see the article + comments being a Britta thing on any given episode of Community.

No no, guys, it's okay. Some of my best friends are THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS.

getting kinda tired of hamno's shtick (which has nothing to do w/ this post, really, which is just kinda dumb.)

What if Nick Denton were black?

His "magazines three years late to hipster trends" rants are hilar

There is unrest. On Twitter, at least.

Will we have to update this thread?
rolling disgruntled shootings thread 2010

And suddenly ILX continues its takeover.

man, gawker's begun to suck really hard of late. new comments system is garbage. decent posts are lost amid neetzan's blizzard of buzzfeed links. wtf?

ignore the sidebar if you dont like the viral video stuff. the good long stuff goes in the splash in the middle of the page. comments section isnt any worse than it ever has been

comments section isnt any worse than it ever has been

i know its not yr fault max (and yr work is as ever top notch) but this really is not true

i mean compared to like 3-4 years ago maybe. but the comments section has been horrible for years!

The comments have been pretty horrible for at least the last couple of years, maybe longer than that. It's like they're all auditioning to write lines for Two and a Half Men.

new comments section is great

Now that i can post anon., i'm gonna be trolling people all the live long day

this paper on arxiv is totally written in the modern gossip blogger voice! http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.6441

did we have a thread where we did this yet: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/suggested-buzzfeed-articles followed by http://www.buzzfeed.com/suggestedbuzzfeedarticles .. ?

Here at Kotaku, we interview many wonderful video game creators and lots of powerful gaming executives. What we don't do—what we're going to do a lot more of—is interview the people who simply play video games.

To fix that, Kotaku video editor Chris Person and reporter Evan Narcisse ventured to downtown Manhattan shop Video Games New York and began asking regular gamers what they think about issues in and around video games.

We start now with a gamer from the Bronx named Robert who talked to us about his idea of strong female characters in games. More »
