Today is my last day at Kotaku. Our friend Junglist will be filling the editor’s chair temporarily from Monday. But who will take over permanently?
Here’s your chance to have a say. Who will you choose?

Brewer74I second that. Let the priginal voice of GG come to the fore again. I am sick of “Vag”

YogalAgreed. Just let Jung fill the spot permanently if he wants it. I’ve alway found his way of reporting to be entertaining and informative.

cheeseI think by experience he meant working for digital media and becoming intimately familiar with the production of a site like Kotaku.
Junglist wasn’t included in the list because they knew he would win by a landslide.

Clearly Mr. Rabbit is the first choice for all of your gaming news requirements!
-
StevorooniDuke Nukem, because he will never rock up to work and you will be forced to stay! muahaha

oggobpoor Miranda Devine, looks like she won’t be adding Games Journo to her CV…
Either Junglist will take over fulltime or i’ll be someone from Hyper… :p

BishI made the mistake of clicking on the link to this post expecting a serious poll thing. SILLY ME
Although, you can’t go past Miranda Devine. Her columns in the SMH are always, uh… hm. Indescribable. Yeah. (Is that even a word?)
Here’s one of my favourite pieces from her: http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/spoilt-brats-get-irate-at-apple-20100730-10zmq.html
…Yeah.-
CorteksOh my I’d never heard of Miranda Devine before and now I kinda wish I hadn’t from reading that article.
“He is routinely mocked for calling his devices ”magical” or ”revolutionary”, even though they are.”
What is this I don’t even!?

*Mighty, mighty facepalm*-

You think that’s bad? After the category 5 cyclone hit Innisfail in North Queensland, demolishing houses, leaving hundreds homeless, closing off roads and decimating crops (and most people’s incomes) she wrote a column titled:
“This is no New Orleans, so enough with the whingeing”
http://www.smh.com.au/news/miranda-devine/this-is-no-new-orleans-so-stop-whingeing/2006/03/25/1143084044866.htmlThat kind of “journalism” is designed to be as offensive as possible to anger readers into giving her attention and feeding her career. She is a real world troll.

FatShadyI voted for Matthew Newton… That would be awesome. He is funny as hell, but then he would just let fly with crazy rants and it would be enjoyable to watch.
Let’s just hope there are no females on staff…. I hear he is not a fan of ’em.
PS, domestic violence is a serious issue and not to be used for comedy… but admit it, Newton would be crazy funny on here.
btw, if there is a hung vote between Duke Nukem and Nathan Drake, do Bajo and Tony Abbott get the deciding vote?

TomWith Miranda being on there, I’m disappointed we didn’t get low angled screenshots of David’s ass..
-
ChuloopaI voted for Duke, only because he is the next most bad ass thing to Wildgoose and/or Ash Williams
-
welbotI went for duke too.. can just imagine it now.. Sensible comments only, or i’ll rip off your head and shit down your neck!

TrjnHas to be Molyneux, simply because it means that everything will be amazing and packed full of features. . . until you read the articles.

BlaghmanGo with Peter Molyneux, the moderation process would allow you to say whatever you want in the comments, no matter how ludicrous/against the rules/ whatever, so long as you promised to later correct it by insulting yourself, and saying how it will all change.

Ok whoever voted for Stephen Conroy (I AM LOOKING AT YOU STEPHEN CONROY!) you have clearly used an illegal program to access this page because this page is part of the black list for the internet filter. You are now reported to the AFP.

welbot

So any chance of personal blog or something for the rest of your work David? or is Kotaku gimping you?

Virus__Tony Abbott, oh wait remember he’s no tech-head or Bill Gates. So he might not be the best bet.

DeeKWhat surprised me was, after scanning the list, I actually recognised every name! Well, except for Matthew Newton. Didn’t know who he was. Just read his wikipedia entry though. Maybe I should watch more TV.

Wow sad to see you go Dave, you were a great editor!
On-Topic: Why would anyone vote for anyone other than Michael Atkinson? I hear he really needs the work these days, be kind to an old man, guys!
