This is where Kotaku readers go to talk about the stuff we’re not already posting about. Think of it as the official unofficial Kotaku community forum.
You can talk about games. Or movies. Or politics. Music. Food. Science. Sport. Snorkelling.
Just keep it clean.
Talk amongst yourselves below…

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 8:37 AMHow come people are being so hard on Michael Jackson’s death? I was practically raised by his music and nothing else. Yet people seem to think that he deserved it, we should forget about it, because he was a weirdo. Sure, he was, but it doesn’t change the fact he made great music and changed the lives of millions.

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 9:05 AMMichael Jackson was the first black artist on MTV. He’s the reason they stopped playing Rock only.
He’s done a lot for us. I’m not a huge fan but I know that being forcibly dragged to his 96 world history tour concert in brisbane will be the biggest show I’ll ever see in my life.
People are people, other people’s deaths are funny. If there’s even a small amount of mud on the person, it becomes funnier.

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 9:29 AMFrom what I’ve seen, that not the case. A lot more people seem to care about his death then not.
Though, I don’t really care, as people die everyday.

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 9:31 AMYou guys have been asking for a forum and this is our best option (for now).
Besides, it’s not like this post is replacing a news post. It supplements it.

Does anyone know what the future holds for online game play for Australians? Especially concerning the NBN. Do you think game companies will start putting more servers in Australia to reduce lag? How much will the new fibre cable to America affect the lag we already experience, also, the lighting of the fibre to Tasmania?
