If anyone has any more information about who gave Magic Johnson HIV, please feel free to contact us. I think we can afford to pay more money for this now. Please email me at a✧✧@gaw✧✧✧.c✧✧ with information. Thanks.

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 »

kotaku is consistently the worst writing about anything on the internet.

John Cook for Gawker's first Pulitzer.

Running fine for me.

i may have to take this personally

Stevker

Gawker down, and Twitter is being a bit rub/text-only. Hmmm?

i blame... ROMNEY!!!

The latest Anonymous dump (http://pastebin.com/nfVT7b0Z) of 1,000,001 Apple Devices UDIDs made me giggle:

to journalists: no more interviews to anyone till Adrian Chen get featured in the front page of Gawker, a whole day, with a huge picture of him dressing a ballet tutu and shoe on the head, no photoshop. yeah, man. like Keith Alexander. go, go, go. (and there you ll get your desired pageviews number too) Until that happens, this whole statement will be the only thing getting out directly from us. So no tutu, no sources.

That was very nice.

Is Everybody Who Edits Gawker Really This Stupid?

; )

superstorm outage?

Still down!

"The Vatican Is Really Butthurt About U.S. Citizens Approving Gay Marriage"

such a Gawker headline

I say that with love btw.

what the fuck is wrong with this site

http://kotaku.com/5960657/metacritic-refuses-to-pull-negative-review-that-gamespot-admits-was-factually-inaccurate

what, gamespot for running a shitty un-fact-checked review, or kotaku for being interested?

thread's about gawker, I think you might want the "wtf is up with metacritic" thread

metacritic's terrifying new math

It'd make sense to change their policy, but their policy does make sense -- sites were changing shit all the time, especially on video games, a couple years ago due to pressure. Real question is why gamespot is publishing shitty reviews

assume whiney's saying wtf is up with kotaku caring abt that

"We'll continue to follow and update this story as we hear more."

True, maybe if we stopped talking about meta critic it'd go away

The review, scored 60/100 and written by a freelancer named Eric Neigher, had been eviscerated by readers and commenters who pointed out a number of mistakes—for example, the review said the recently-released indie game was $30, when it actually costs $25.

Yeah, they're crazy. Cola ingredients are not really removed from what you'd find in marinades
