This was always the problem when I worked there.  Your worth as an employee was lessened by the allure of ‘working at a place where you play and talk about games the whole time’, because someone was willing to be hired on at the lowest possible wages to fill your spot.

Compare to my boss who said, in summary, “we’re totally fine! I can’t name any names but we definitely have new clients lined up right now. Be sure come to the office unless you’re super sick. Byeeee”

This is a good list, but listen...

If you think the little people on the totem pole are going to get shit for the game flying off the shelves, you’re delusional.

Stuff like this is important regardless of the stakes (meaning whether its video games or working in a hospital) because so much is built on the backs of the people working. While changes like this don’t change the world, they do a world of change for an individual.

Is it wrong that I’m hoping that this is the death knell of E3? I did get to attend E3 of yore, but I think it’s lost its relevance. We have gone from getting gaming news on a monthly basis to hourly, GDC covers industry stuff just fine, PAX has the gamer/nerd culture thing down. And how much money and time would…

And to follow what Maddy said, I’ve wanted to hire a service and advice writer for years, so, no, this role was my idea, regardless of which CEO signs the checks.

Ari does indeed specialize in gaming tips and advice. But he’s not a “plant,” he’s a Kotaku editorial staffer just like the rest of us, in the union and everything. Please be respectful of him!

This isn't self aware enough to not piss me off.

If the final evolution is supposed to be based on James Bond, this is making me wonder what it means for Bond’s upbringing.

I can’t read Japanese, but I imagine this pretty much says:

- “Muscles”
- “Muscles Over Here
- “More Muscles Over There”
- “Put a Bigass Muscles Right Here”
- “Teeny-Tiny Bigass Muscle Right There”
- “Don’t Forget More Muscles on This Side”
- “Bone Shaped Muscles in Between the Regular Ones”
