WhiteMage Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 But how else will I note that Owen is such a horrible, stupid writer that I don't even feel slightly bad about probably making him cry D: http://kotaku.com/tag/dontevertalkaboutmyfather/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Haa... ironically, I think the reason there isn't one, is so that the new Kotaku fans wouldn't come to the boards and be discouraged, or something. Or the editors. That too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 http://kotaku.com/ta...editorialboard/ , http://talkamongstyo...kotaku-f32.html or Game Journalists Are Incompetent Fuckwits We're not strictly a kotaku board anymore and I think by now most of us know each others opinions on the matter so there wasn't really much point. You're free to carry on, but I'm not sure how many will join in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceedee Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I just hate Kotaku because I think their writers are idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 So off-topic is the appropriate place to bitch about Brian Ashcraft's writing? Because I sometimes just gotta vent that the man who can barely write coherent English has two books published and a blogging gig. It just ain't right.

Strangelove Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I hate his stupid pointless weaboo shit. I cant imagine anyone caring. I dont even think he does. People complained about them reviewing movies, but talking about japanese idols and fetishes is totally cool. His posts are hardly ever about game either. Ugh.

Showmeyomoves! Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Since they blog about "gaming culture", I think Bashcraft's weeaboo shit falls into that category. I don't really have a problem with the guy, he doesn't really seem to take himself too seriously. Unlike Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 His posts are hardly ever about game either. Ugh. And when they are, he says stuff like "Could it be a Final Fantasy Reboot?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Im sorry, but informing us that some hasbeen japanese pop star doesnt have a ps3 isnt anything to write about and i dont think is about gaming culture. Kotaku isnt the most respectable websitw, but his shit makes it seem like im reading a weaboo version of Star or Us Weekly. Also, not all gamers are japanophiles. If anything, most gamerz prefer western games now. Not anime tripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) I hate his stupid pointless weaboo shit. I cant imagine anyone caring. I dont even think he does. People complained about them reviewing movies, but talking about japanese idols and fetishes is totally cool. His posts are hardly ever about game either. Ugh. Because his idol posts feature pictures of boobs and people like boobs. Sure they are fake but boobs nonetheless. There will also be bad teeth and flat butts if you're into that. Also, not all gamers are japanophiles. If anything, most gamerz prefer western games now. Not anime tripe. Gamerz with a Z! I will agree on that although I do think there is a healthy mix these days. Besides, I like to think there are more new Japanophiles popping up. They buy my old anime DVDs from when I was a young man who didn't know any better.

Strangelove Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ha, i didnt use the z on purpose. Its right underneath the s. So you dont have any spare Big O dvds to sell me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Actually that's one series I am keeping. My collection used to be very huge (and it still is!) but I am parting with a lot of it little by little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixTwoSixFour Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 As much as I hate much of the staff, I really, really love Totilo. He's just a smart man, and a great writer. Bash can go to hell, though. Talentless hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hey, what happened to my thread for bitching about Kotaku? Was it New Vegased for cursing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Hey, what happened to my thread for bitching about Kotaku? Was it New Vegased for cursing? I don't know... WTF? I will find it for you right now. I already talked to Dean about it and the cursing shouldn't have been an issue. My fault. I suggested it be moved to New Vegas, as the general anti-Kotaku sentiment might be discouraging to people from Kotaku that are looking to join the boards. In the thread I also mentioned the fact that the editors are still not too fond of dean or these boards, and I think he's been trying to reverse on that a bit, but I could be wrong. I know for sure that one of the editors greyed out one of Dean's comments in speakup trying to promote these boards, after I had promoted it. Anyway, that was my reasoning for the suggestion. This thread is pretty similar anyway though, so I don't know. Edited January 12, 2011 by TheForgetfulBrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah they once attempted to grey out me posting about gappoi. It quickly got un-greyed by another star. Not like it's much an issue, there's plenty of folks to post about this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainHurtBoy...2 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 But how else will I note that Owen is such a horrible, stupid writer that I don't even feel slightly bad about probably making him cry D: http://kotaku.com/tag/dontevertalkaboutmyfather/ It says Owen Good edited your comment? What did it originally say? Also, what's his father's name? I want to read some of his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 If a editor moves a post(e.g to cornfield) it always says underneath 'editor-X has edited this post" I find the tag a bit weird since Owen in his weekend notes talks about his dad n brother quite a bit.

Seems he was banned with that comment: "Tarzanti is banned. Owen Good has banned Tarzanti 12:24 PM on Jan 9" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
