deanb Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hello!. And that's kind of the point of this place. Site-independent, so regardless of folks staying or going from Kotaku, folks still have a central place for chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindo Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Sun? Taeyang? How do you know that?? You'll find that Toshi and I know a bit about Korean pop culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Have you ever tried to explain where/what Wales is to an American? I had enough trouble with a Londoner once. As an American, the only reason I get jokes about Wales is because I occasionally watch some British television, read books by British authors, and inevitably stumble across jokes about Wales. After a while, you start to get some of them. Not all. Certainly not all. I'm a former Kotaku commenter (name is the PSN ID in the sig) who stopped posting when the Gawker security debacle went down. While there are plenty of places on the internet to talk about video game stuff, I have to admit that I kind of miss the quality of Kotaku discussions, arguments and all. Either that or I was just used to it. Either way, I figured it might translate to a message board well, so here I am. Come to think of it, I only bother making a quality post on Kotaku once every few months now - you get a lot more mileage for good posts here, since they don't just get lost after a day or so, and old conversations can be picked up at any time if someone likes - it's quite nice, really. Gives you more incentive to actually spend time writing a decent post, in my opinion. Edited February 7, 2011 by TheForgetfulBrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimueax Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello, my name is Grim...and I just don't have anywhere else to go. Oh God...they took everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi all! I've been meaning to sign up here for a while but I kept putting it off. You can call me Dex or MasterDex, either is fine by me - Master sounds a bit masochistic. I'm primarily a PC gamer but enjoy all that gaming has to offer. I wager a good many of you here already know me so I won't write a lengthy introduction. You either love me or hate me....or feel completely indifferent about me. Whatever the case, chances are you've seen me around Kotaku so you can decide for yourself. It's good to be here after promising to sign up for so long, I look forward to joining in the discussions. Oh yeah, Kotaku's new layout sucks! B) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyRan Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 It's me. You know who I am. If you read Kotaku at all in the past few years there's no way any of you could've missed me So yeah, I'm here. I jumped off the sinking ship that is Gawker Media and most likely won't be returning. What I loved most was the community, though, rather than the actual blog. To tell you the truth the coverage is pretty replaceable, and the member-oriented posts all but disappeared at this point. Me? I like to play pretty much everything and anything. I'm mostly gaming on PC for now, though I often game on my PS3 second and my 360 distant third. Don't ask me about Nintendo unless you want wall-o-texts worth of rants (VERY jaded former fanboy, don't ask). I usually can't get together with people for multiplayer to save my life (ask the guys from the TF2 Highlander tourney about the time I ditched them minutes before the match started ), but I'll probably be around here quite a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
