You know, it’s not always polite for one to blow one’s own trumpet, but I also think it’s important that I tell everyone how awesome we are. Kotaku Australia has just taken out best Media Outlet in the MCV Pacific awards!
It may sound corny, but I want to thank you guys for reading what we write. Creating content we like and believe in is so much easier when you know you have a great audience who reads and appreciates it. So thank you guys! And hope you continue to come back in 2012 — because we’re about to take it to the next level!
Big thanks also goes to Leigh Harris and Guy Blomberg for putting the awards together — great job guys and thanks for the recognition.
MCV Pacific Awards: Media Outlet of the Year [MCV Pacific]
Well done.
Well done and well earned.
Well done everyone!
I think in truth we owe this victory to Shane, for his tireless efforts in single-handedly guessing The Dig in every single Remember This? article.
You’re welcome, Kotaku. I just do what I can to help… tirelessly, day in day out. 😛

Typical.
They go and give the award to someone who deserves it.
I really thought IGN had it this year,
8.5/10 GOTY
Well done guys!
Congrats and well deserved.
Nicely played, players.
Nice and well done! Good to see some recognition, and a good comment from Junglist too.
But, what exactly is the MCV? I see Market for Computer & Video Games, but who are they?
Mobile Construction Vehicle?
They’re the Australia / New Zealand video game industry trade publication – basically they report on what’s happening within the industry.
Great job guys, you totally deserved that 😀
Congratulations!!!
LEVEL COMPLETE.
PREPARE FOR NEXT LEVEL.
But we already knew that, right?
Best journalism ever.
8.748 out of 10
OMG Kotaku deserved higher than that. Burn in hell you fag blah blah blah etc. etc.
I don’t play a raging teen that well, do I? 😛
You forgot to call him a IGN fanboi and explain the unspeakable acts he wants to to to their editors
OMG THATS WORSE THAN MW3 ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY MW3 IS A BETTER GAME THAN KOTAKU CUZ THATS STUPID MW3 IS JUST THE SAME CRAP EVERY YEAR KOTAKU ACTUALLY OFFERS SOME ORIGINAL IDEAS AND THATS JUST STUPID SAYING MW3 IS BETTER YOU MUST BE A MW3 FANBOI 12 YEAR OLD KID WHOS NEVER PLAYED A REAL GAME BEFORE I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU EVEN THOUGH I AM TYPING IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANNER
Ahahahahaaa… Fucking teenagers.
Kokatu australia is the best place for news on gaming really, problem is that it has to be mixed with some of the bile that comes out of the Kotaku US but the AU stuff is pretty good that we can forgive you.
100% agree with that.
And yes, If you guys figured a way to filter the US stuff that is completely irrelevant to AUS, then this place would be perfect.

OMG, your typo has given me a great idea!
Kokatu! Name change, pls
I always see my self posting stuff from this place and a adding the fact that it came from here not US site just to let people know that Kotaku AU is nothing like the Fail that is Kotaku US
Congrats!
Well done to the team. Really happy for you all.
Congrats! I must admit I <3 Kotaku. Also merry Christmas (In advance)!
Well done to the whole team, and this is one case you are more than welcome to get a bit James Morrison
Thank you on behalf of all of us, if only somebody in this community thought of it earlier we could have arranged something
Good stuff, triumph in the face of the adversity that is Kotaku US! Very impressive!
Good work everyone
Nicely done peoples 🙂

Achievement unlocked: Obvious Award.
“Give a prize to KotakAU for something that has been so blatantly obvious to everyone for years”
Grats, guys!
Congratulations guys you deserve it.
Look how surprised I am -_-
Seriously though, congratulations guys. Over the past year or so this has become my only ‘must read’ blog. Very well deserved.
Congratulations, well earned, its a credit to what Mark is doing and now Tracey
I don’t really know what the MCV awards are, but congratulations! xD
Well done, and well deserved!
I’m guessing “the next level” will probably get Refused Classification. Just our luck… 😉
Congrats
Grats!
Well done, Kotaku AU. Well deserved.
So often I hear people making “lol Kotaku”-like comments when discussing where we read our gaming news, and every time I ask them if they actually read the AU site or not. For the most part, they don’t. Always gotta be leaping to AU’s defence 😛 Great stuff guys, keep up the good work.
Agree. Kotaku AU could probably distance themselves from the mothership a bit.
Earlier, I suggested they change their name to Kokatu. Make it happen pls.
Totaka?
Also a blanket ‘dont publish anything luke plunkett ever writes’ policy would be most helpful.
Brilliant news!!! Well deserved Kotaku AU team 🙂
Congrats, really like this site!
Bit of a no-brainer, really. Probably the best, most community conscious blog I follow. Kudos, Mark, Tracey n co!
A winner is you! But seriously, congratulations on the award. You guys certainly deserve it, and now I know why Kotaku (AU) is my favourite blog to get gaming news from.
Congratulations guys. You definetly deserve it. 😀
good work guys without you guys i probably wouldnt go to work
Well done guys, you keep me sane during my 12 hour shifts at work. Keep up the good work
