Well, almost. Today’s my last day in the “office”, but it’s not quite the last you’ll hear from me this year.
Before I head off on “holidays”, I thought I’d update you on what’ll be happening on Kotaku over the holiday period.
Between now and the first Monday back in the new year, Kotaku will still be updating, although not quite with the same quantity of posts. You can expect Remember This? to continue tomorrow and all next week. Plus, there’ll be occasional reminders for the competitions we’re currently running – for Darksiders and the Big Pile of Crap. And of course, we’ll be bringing you all the relevant content from the US site too.
But the most significant posts over the holiday will be my Games of 2009 countdown. As I did last year, I’ll be taking you through my personal picks for the year’s best, one per day from #10 down to the #1 reveal on January 4. (Hence the Far Cry 2 screenshot, my #1 game from 2008.)
Oh, and I’ll still be keeping an eye on all your comments, so don’t let the recent quality slip.
I hope 2009 has been good to you. Enjoy your holidays, have a happy new year, and I’ll see you in 2010.

Friday, December 25, 2009 at 10:26 PMHope you and your family have had a good (and well deserved) Christmas, David. I’ve been visiting Kotaku for quite some time now, but I find more and more that it’s the first site I visit in the morning. You (and everyone else at Kotaku) are doing a fantastic job.
Also thanks to everyone else here – usually as soon as I read an article, 5 of you have posted exactly what I was going to. Intelligent communities are rare things on the internet, even here in Aus :P
Anyways, looking forward to reading through your best of 2009 – it has been a good year for games! I actually can’t remember a year where I’ve bought so many games that I’ve been satisfied with.
