Yes you are out of your mind. Worst idea ever. Please don’t. Just no.

SLOW UP!

“I was dating someone breifly...”

“I’ve gotten so used to being stressed out and unhappy that I’m not capable of anything else anymore” is exactly where you start.

He’s in an emotionally abusive relationship. I don’t know how to tell that to someone, but he’d be better off without her. There are worse things than being single, and his GF is one of them.

I love this idea! What’s making me happy this week is going to Governors Island today and listening to Yo La Tengo while lying in a hammock, drinking really amazing wine from Val d’Aosta (sp?) on Thursday, talking to my mom about TV, and being able to work out again now that my bruised ribs are mostly healed.

This is a completely ok thing to do. I posted this somewhere else but I have the brownest of thumbs but my little succulents are chugging along and I’m so proud of them. It’s only been a few months and I think they need bigger pots already!

What made me happy this week is my students are loving the book I’m reading to them. It’s called Wonder and about a boy with a facial deformity. The book is told from different character’s point of view. They made me laugh because they had to find out who is telling the next section. They went to another classroom…

What made me happy this week is that after weeks of practice I’m finally making progress on the Chopin piece that was giving me so much problems. It’s still rough but I’m getting there.

I can see your predicament here, Mike. I also respect your personal feelings about this as well as you trying to make the Funny Pages a place that is most centrally about having fun.

now they can make a new comic, futher mocking kotaku :P

And then point out the problems with it. Ultimately by not posting it, someone else did (which I may add was bound to happen since people did notice it wasn’t there), and Fahey (and by extension, Kotaku) lost their chance to have it analysed under more controlled circumstances.

Then what you should have done is run the strip, then offered a rebuttal, dealing with it by pointing out why you feel the summation is wrong.

Funny, the behavior of this site indicates you can dish “it” out but you can not take “it”.

The shift from print journalism to online journalism has certainly shaped our perception of what a journalist’s job is supposed to be, particularly for those who’ve grown up with online journalism almost exclusively. Coverage of video games that’s simply building up excitement for certain games reduces gaming sites to…

This is what doing your job looks like, to any who may still be confused by it, or operating under childish and uninformed opinions on Games Journalism.

Things like this are one of the biggest reasons I get the majority of my gaming news here. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve had less and less time for video games (stupid real life!), so what I spend my time and money on is more precious. When I shell out cash monies for a new game and decide to dedicate whatever few free…

At this point, who knows? I’m sure that they feel that their actions were perfectly reasonable. But they’re in a different line of work. My focus is telling the truth about games for readers, whether that’s the external truth that reporters discover or that more internal subjective truth about how a critic feels about…

If you’re pissing people off with your journalism, then you’re doing your job. Ruffling feathers, even if you’re entertainment reporters, is par for the course. Don’t stop doing it just because a couple publishers are a wee bit on the childish side of things.

This is a fantastic article on the complex relationship that exists between the developers of art and the people whose job is to review that art. Well written, well stated, A++++ would Kotaku again.
