Kotaku: Scraping the barrel

By -


Ok ok, I know we all hate Kotaku, hell even Kotaku hate Kotaku. I shouldn't even grace their hits with a link to their tired under-skilled gawker site.

But sadly it occasionally fawns upon my radar, partly due to out-of-the-loop developer/publishers giving it credible news, thinking they are still the mainstream go-to gamer site from 6 years ago.

But you gotta check this one out it has completely obliterated the line between irreverent and irrelevant. Its a post about how one Kotaku writer doesn't like Cheetos.

That is all.

Love and irreverent irrelevancy,

Richie X

    A little bit amusing that I found your blog due to it being linked on Kotaku. It was even the same Kotaku writer that hates cheetos that wrote the article with the link.

    I do agree that she is terrible.

    Generally agree but I have a sneaking suspicion that oil is like the grease in a ballrace, lubricating the continental rocks. I expect to hear more deep subduction grinding noises in the future and am I mistaken in thinking there have been one or two extra adjustments to the global clock just recently as the planet slows down?

On August 27  Blizzard is launching their WoW re-boot: WoW Classic.  15 years ago, as our steadfast and loyal readership will remember, I just wouldn’t shut up about WoW, offering almost daily updates on the most mundane aspects of my (crappy) fire mage. And I shall be re-joining the masses this August, this time as a Human Paladin.  I have dipped my toe in and out of WoW, over the course of its evolution, to it’s current iteration. Though I have not partook in the past 3-ish expansions. WoW has changed a lot it's so fast paced and it’s almost impossible to die, but I will lay out my grumbles on what it has become at another point.
One of my favourite things in WoW was “Transmog”, which initially was collecting pieces of armour or weapons and by taking it to a dude in-game, he could make one look like the other. Previously this worked by having to own the armour you wanted to Transmog with, resulting in bags and banks full of low level armour. Nowadays, however you “collect” the …

The (Ughh) Nice Post?

OK so maybe it's my time of the month or something but I was going to do a post using some of the photos of the fattest/weirdest looking geeks from Faces of WoW and do a Robin Cooper Alter Ego style thing having everyone as Female Night Elves or whatever and saying that WoW is for weirdos, goths, geeks, loners, teenage boys, who will Ghey cyber you for gold. I was then going to finish off the post by finding the fattest sessile woman and saying it was Richie. However, whilst looking for the freakiest photos I was compelled by the honesty of all of these people and (dare I say it) I was happy for them? I don't even f*cking blog under my real name and they put up their images for all to browse, judge etc. I think sites like this truly reflect the sentiments of this poem, better than any pro-pro gaming league or other attempt to get gaming into the mass mindset.
It was also interesting to see the images that people chose to upload; some were funny, others very honest and soul-bea…
