Ha

#snowrage

apparently j0rdan s. wrote pretty much every single story on gawker today

That was very nice.

Is Everybody Who Edits Gawker Really This Stupid?

; )

superstorm outage?

Still down!

"The Vatican Is Really Butthurt About U.S. Citizens Approving Gay Marriage"

such a Gawker headline

I say that with love btw.

what the fuck is wrong with this site

http://kotaku.com/5960657/metacritic-refuses-to-pull-negative-review-that-gamespot-admits-was-factually-inaccurate

what, gamespot for running a shitty un-fact-checked review, or kotaku for being interested?

thread's about gawker, I think you might want the "wtf is up with metacritic" thread

metacritic's terrifying new math

It'd make sense to change their policy, but their policy does make sense -- sites were changing shit all the time, especially on video games, a couple years ago due to pressure. Real question is why gamespot is publishing shitty reviews

assume whiney's saying wtf is up with kotaku caring abt that

"We'll continue to follow and update this story as we hear more."

True, maybe if we stopped talking about meta critic it'd go away

The review, scored 60/100 and written by a freelancer named Eric Neigher, had been eviscerated by readers and commenters who pointed out a number of mistakes—for example, the review said the recently-released indie game was $30, when it actually costs $25.

:O

Yeah, they're crazy. Cola ingredients are not really removed from what you'd find in marinades

lol i remember kinja

oh I didnt see ice cube bumped the other gawker thread

I think via ilx law priority is passed to the first bumped

The new Deadspin layout is the absolute worst.

agreed

i think it looks fine, i just love the gawker layout that allows you to read every post w/o having to open new tabs and/or click the back button

also i think it's kinda weird that they made HUGE PHOTOS the emphasis of the new layout but then made it so the photos are covered in black dots

huge photos tiny text blocks is terrible design
side-panel w/ other stories was great for navigation, I'm not going to scroll backward in Gawker Media's timeline like some tumblr-using savage

i blame sandy

do we have another thread for other big-blog-hitters?

I didn't realize Buzzfeed had original content until recently, I thought it was all just meme aggregations and listicles.

They (very) occasionally produce a good article or two, it must be by accident.

buzzfeed has a really high quality tech section, maybe the best on the internet in terms of intelligent coverage

http://kotaku.com got the same makeover

not that anyone reads that ; )

yeah buzzfeed is really really good except when it's awful, it's so weird

they are paying writers good $$ too or so i heard

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18k07f5pvksvijpg/xlarge.jpg

buzzfeed pays pretty well for freelance
