Wow, it really seems like you guys are getting a lot of new visitors lately. I thought everyone knew of Kotaku already. Maybe I should spread the good word. Btw, that motivational poster is pure awesomeness.

@Atheist Jew: haha nice.
Kotaku is great. Gawker really seems to have great blogs. I'll keep the hits and new visitors coming in thanks for your great journalism!

@Michael McWhertor: That's completely unacceptable! How can they expect us to fork over the cash for non-backwards compatible clothing?
What...what about hyper-threading? Will they have hyper-threading?

@Atheist Jew: Just so you know, future shirts won't be backwards compatible.

Does anyone have a link to a bigger version of that fake motivational poster? I want to see what it says underneath

@Michael McWhertor: See everyone? That is an example of excellent customer service! Why the fuck can't Microsoft or Sony learn from people like Michael?
Prices are too high, people complain, prices come down, people buy more. That's how it should work! If those prices come down I will definitely be buying some shirts.
I also love html tags. Does it show? Wish they were BBcode tho, Gawker techs.

@malvolio-the-magician: Becoming? They have all the latest gaming news, and HOT TEARS OF SHAME(I won't acknowledge the new name). What more could anybody ever desire from a blog?
@Michael McWhertor: Oooh. This means you're gonna sell cheaper shirts, doesn't it?

Very refreshing site honestly. A site that has responded to the grown up gamer where scores matter a lot less and silly (but relevant) posts prevail!

@Michael McWhertor: Excellent. I'm totally enjoying the reviews so far, I can't wait until we get back into the heart of game release season later this year, and you guys can review even more titles.
There are few reasons to ever go elsewhere for any game related news, as far as I can tell.

I used to visit IGN for their 'once daily' update. Then I found Kotaku, and have never looked back.
The news never stops comin', folks!

@malvolio-the-magician:
Becoming? Bloody hell mate this site gets all the news earlier than IGN and Gamespot and the like, it is THE site already, plus they dont allow the sorta retards you get on the comments off GameSpot pages.

Yeah...about those shirts. I like your designs, Mike, and I like your writing too. But $30 for a t-shirt? Even if I wasn't a college student with an extremely low, fixed income of loans would I pay $30 for a T-Shirt.
Unless it had gold filaments in the weave.
And could wash itself.

I really like the Kotaku reviews, they take a real gamer's stance in neutrally observing the game's ups and downs. However, I fear the day when/if Kotaku introduces review scores, as it would be one more step towards the fabled "GameSpotization" of Kotaku.

Kotaku is really becoming the blog to go to for gaming news.
