Community Kudos

Well, well, well… it’s that time again. I’m loaded on Pepsi Max and just one short hour away from playing Trials Evo multiplayer with Ben and a bunch of other fools in the office that I will totally crush. But first… Community Kudos!

I miss ex-Gizmodo Editor Nick Broughall, so I was happy when he did a Scribbletaku. I was also happy to see that you guys absolutely blitzed it, and got the answer in like 30 seconds!

Why Kotaku Australia Should Never Work With Children… Or Robots

Kotaku AU

Earlier this week I visited the Good Game team at the ABC, to see an early screening of the 100th episode of Good Game: Spawn Point, the massively successful spin-off show for younger audiences. Incredibly the team said they wanted to create something special for Kotaku — and featured me in a special ‘Ask Good Game’ segment — exclusively for Kotaku!

Hitman Absolution And The Army Of Girls That Will Change Gaming

Kotaku AU

Yesterday I had the most incredible day.

Yesterday I visited the studio of Good Game: Spawn Point, at the ABC.

Good Game: Spawn Point is a TV show about video games, and its target audience is young gamers – under 10s — kids who spend their days playing Minecraft, Smash Bros., and Mario Kart.

The show’s creator is a woman, her name is Janet Carr. She is a real hero of mine, and I’ll never forget what she said.
