It’s the last day of the Kotaku “holiday” period — as of next week every Kotaco will be back on board and working like the monkeys from Rise of the Planet of the Apes (we’ll even be wearing knitted jumpers (we’ll turn the air conditioning up real high (maybe we’ll scratch each other (maybe not)))). But just because we’ve been on partial holiday doesn’t mean the Kotaku community has, so I bring you this week’s Community Kudos!

Cards From The Kotaku Community

Kotaku AU

Today we received a delivery. No, a courier didn’t come to the office, nor did the pizza guy. Rather, a group of Kotaku readers exploded into our head quarters, massive boxes in arms, yelling “MERRY CHRISTMAS!”. We were absolutely blown away by the thoughtfulness of the gifts, especially some of the art and cards we received. Here’s the organiser of the Kotaku Christmas Project, long-time reader and all-the-time wonderful person, Chuloopa, to talk about the cards.

Introducing Tracey Lien… Again!

Kotaku AU

While I was off eating haggis, drinking Irn Bru and pretending I was in the movie Highlander, we were lucky enough to have Tracey ‘Trace-face’ Lien cover for me and, as I’m sure you are all aware, she did an incredible job. In fact, she did so well that we decided to bring her on permanantly!

A Handover Post For Mark

Kotaku AU

Hey Mark! Welcome back to Australia! I hope you had a fantastic time in Scotland. I bet you’ve gotten an amazing tan (lol). Anyway, while you were away I had a great time being the editor of Kotaku AU, and I’ve come up with some ideas that I think would make the site even better.

It’s our last kudos before Mark is back! As of next week there will be 100% more kilts, spray tans, Irn Bru, and Serrels stares (almost a month here and I have not mastered it — no, I have not even attempted it — I am a failure). Anyway, let’s kick this off so we can all start our weekend (and Logan can start working!).

This week’s community kudos does not bring any postcards from Mark (sadface), so I decided to make it exciting by sprinkling glitter all over my keyboard before I started typing. Now there is glitter everywhere and Elly is going to yell at me when she comes into the office.

“Don’t worry, you’re in good hands.” No, these were not the words that Mark (the Scottish, fake-tanned editor of our hearts) left with the Kotaku community before he departed for the motherland. They were words he left for me, and so far I believe him.
