Most of my days at Kotaku are spent hunched over my desk, guzzling cans of Pepsi Max, but today I’m being let off the leash and heading down to Melbourne for the launch of de Blob 2 – I’m really looking forward to checking out Blue Tongue and seeing where all the magic happens. More »

Gran Turismo5 is in the office. It’s sitting there in front of me, but I don’t really believe it. I’m convinced that it’s a mirage. As we speak I’m prodding it with a stick just to make sure it isn’t some of elaborate trap. Can it be that this creature of myth actually exists? More »

Sadly, I’ll be on a flight to Melbourne when Seamus represents Kotaku on Sunrise, heading off to talk about Mobile gaming and check out Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

So it seems like there’s a bit of a split here.

So a couple of awesome things happened over at Kotaku HQ early this afternoon.
