@quen: Actually you are wrong. You can absolutely be slighted "for", or in other words, "because of" something. Though I'm not sure if Mr. McWhertor's right in his usage either, since to be slighted basically means to be ignored or not paid attention to. Who would ignore Kotaku?? Not me. Especially now that they're teasing us...

Copesetic

I think it's a special ten-part feature about English grammar.

:>

(On which note, I think McWhertor meant 'slated for' - you can be 'slighted', but you can't be 'slighted for'. Could be wrong, of course.)

@aelfin:

Yes, that's what I think too. More interested in the embargoed one though. Hands on time with MGS4? Or news about Team Ico's new project?

I think that's one of the main points why they aren't putting an "edit" feature in. Unless they can preserve the original post, then adding the edited one in. Might be too big of a hit to the servers though.

@excaliburps: from the read of it, the NDA stuff in the first para and the Kotaku stuff in the second para are unrelated items.

Please no edit button, I can just see people going back and "fixing" their posts after being called out on something completely inaccurate, then claiming they said nothing wrong.

@Michael McWhertor:

Wait, is this something to do with the site itself? Why the embargo then? Or you signed an NDA for something and there's also something big happening to the site?

My guess is there's going to be a rumor-mill of some sort. (Yes I remember the pointing fish).

excaliburps

Ugh... I expect amazing news and i all i get are teases and teases. McWhertor youg going to have to stop and break your damn embargo's. It hurts it hurts *curls in a ball* I think your going to allow us to have our own super cool profile! Or or or Kotaku Clans! We side on a certain clan and we have a take on certain stories and we battle it out with uhh... stuff. Yes stuff.

[KU]Shindokie: What Game to buy for the PsP

Oh yeah, I promised I'd play it. Unfortunately, I hated the way it handled pictures so I got only this:

It was pretty damn bad. Not the worst, but pretty bad.

DrakeLake

edit button? please?

bigsamboni

@Michael McWhertor: Heh, the first article could be about Okami...unfortunately the page views on the article would exceed total units of game sold on the wii...making the article so much more relevant.

Xideo

@Xideo: No, but that's not a bad idea. We would call it Pissed Opportunities!

I'm just riffing here...

Michael McWhertor

@droopy: ahem
Multitap for banned comments with snarky comebacks.

droopy

Discussing games that didn't sell well but were actually quite good as a regular feature would be quite nice.But that's not it is it?

Xideo

Hmmm... slammed for?

@Erwin: Couldn't have said it better myself.

Killtacular

Podcast? You guys need one.

Foggynotion

Hmm, maybe we will able to put more pictures up, post our own blog, or I don't know...participate in the new free Kotaku MMO!

Saint Anima: Kotaku's Poetic Massacre

@skelator316, TheCleaningGuy, MurderSimulator: No edit button please. I love the mistakes people make. There is nothing better in all the mountains and all the seas and all the internets than poster's remorse. It makes me feel young again.

Erwin

You know, we had an edit button for about 15 minutes or so. Did y'all miss that window of glory?

Sorry, but I don't know when we get an edit button and that's not what I'm talking about. They don't let me muck around with the back-end.

Michael McWhertor

You really enjoy this, don't you McWhertor? TWO teases now?

Samos42

Gah! Why do you tease me so? I must know! The nectar of secrecy can't be THAT sweet, can it?
I haven't hated anything you guys have put out (except Birdo). If I don't care about the story I just don't read it. If you complain about something like that, you must tire really easily from scrolling down pages. If you really care, enjoy your banning.

Erwin

Don't do this to me! I hate this sort of stuff >:[

fauxgodzilla

You mean a non-fish-enabled area of kotaku for adults? well, thanks, that would lovely. and it would spare you the fish and photoshop grease.

KindaGamey

the skelator thinks we are getting an edit button.

skelator316

@MurderSimulator: From the context of what he was saying, I doubt it, though I'm still all for it, so long as the original versions of the posts are logged.

TalKeaton: Game Design Major

@MurderSimulator: My thoughts exactly.
Edit button is the food of the gods.

TheCleaningGuy

We can has edit button?

MurderSimulator

I dunno what you're really talking about, but it sounds exciting. I'm not even gonna speculate, I'm just gonna sit back and wait for it!

TalKeaton: Game Design Major

@Copesetic: I did mean slighted, as in insulted. We've gotten some flack for not reviewing games, even though we get the occasional review copy.
