Adieu

After writing 11,296 stories for Kotaku I find myself at a loss for words as I write this, my last for the site.

Drive-By: Proof That Video Games Cause Violence

Video games do cause real-life violence. I know this because after a half hour of playing Drive-By: Gang Warfare for the iPad at Crecente’s request, I’m Google mapping his house and checking eBay for firearms.

Crecente’s 1/10 Of A Second Colbert Report Appearance

Not only did my face manage to make it’s way onto the The Colbert Report last night, as I slept, but it did so as the voice of the Twittersphere.

Here’s Your Kotaku (Video) Podcast (Maybe)

Here for your viewing is another little video experiment we’re tinkering with. I know people have been wanting us to do a podcast for quite sometime. And I want to do a podcast, but frankly I hate how bloated they’ve become. Also, I really wanted to do something with video. Oh and I like shooting people and arguing. So we came up with this.

Consider what you see here a test run, a beta of sorts. We’re thinking of adding more people and perhaps topics to a single run. Let me know what you think. As always, your suggestions are invaluable. But for the record, I’m not THAT flexible.

A Fireside Chat With Gabe and Tycho

After Crecente snuck onto the PAX showroom floor he headed directly into the throne room itself to get a first hand discussion with the Kings of PAX Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik. In his talk with the guys they discuss topics ranging from Crecente’s socks to the future of Child’s Play. This is the fifth PAX event by the way and this year’s attendance estimations are going to topple fifty thousand. Rest of the interview after the jump.

Phil Harrison, Crecente as Eggs

The resemblance is uncanny. That’s Harjit M.’s entry, which is based on this photograph and this post. You know, that could double as a J Allard egg as well. Still, this so makes us want to do a bird shirt contest. Here’s what’s going on: Decorate an egg (yes, an actual egg), take a pic of it with a Kotaku sign and send it to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom. Commentland will vote for its favourite finalist. We’ll kick this baby off right now, wrap it up on April 4th. Here’s the loot, plus the bonus signed Fallout 3 shirt.
