The games industry might be experiencing tough times right now. But we’re not. In fact, we’re getting bigger.
Last month you might recall we were hiring for a night editor. Well, guess what? We’ve hired a night editor. Her name’s Elly and she starts this week.
Elly will be responsible for getting much of the US content up on the AU site as soon as possible, especially the hectic overnight posts. She’ll also be moderating comments every morning, so be nice to her. And say hi.
This means I’ll have more time to post more local content. In fact, you should see the amount of local posts published per day – which have been steadily increasing over the past few weeks anyway – ramp up to around double what they used to be.
You’ll also see some new stuff hitting the site shortly, including new regular posts and features. As always though, if you have any ideas and suggestions – or even just want to pass along a tip – let us know.
Oh, and what’s with the Far Cry 2 screenshot? I shouldn’t have to explain by now.

Monday, August 10, 2009 at 11:36 PMI am going to repeat what everyone has said but express it far less logically.
Here goes:
Kotaku is one of my favourite sites now that I check on a regular basis. I used to check IGN and esp Joystiq a lot but have given up on those and stuck with Kotaku. The fact that it is Australian is also very welcoming and rare to find. The user interface is brilliant to view many articles and updates on a good basis with good quality articles.
Welcome Elly and Thank-You Kotaku for this site.
It’s fucking rad.

My advice would be to keep up the caffeine & No-Doze & whatever you do: Don’t. Fall. Asleep.
in the bathtub-WAIT! That’s A Nightmare On Elm Street – my bad.“This means I’ll have more time to
post more local contentsleep.” – FTFY? ┐(・＿・)┌ lolCan’t go wrong with more KotakAU as I always say (also: “It’s all in the reflexes”) so I approve of this venture! *nods emphatically*
