Correction: Max Read was a former Gawker night editor, not editorial assistant. I regret the error.

why do you guys hate blake lively so much?

because of this http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/blake-lively-and-ryan-reynoldss-creepy-creepy-wedding-and-other-horror-stories-from-this-weeks-tabloids/

lol ok. weird.

I appreciate this for "offensive pastiche of poverty"

I would not buy anything from this website. The wristwatch that is artfully draped over the antler made me very upset.

OK, which ILXor is this? 'Fess up.

my wife has read a bunch of profiles of blake lively and insists something is not quite right with her..

her sister, aka teen witch, fuckin rules.

blake lively seems like a cipher. her public persona is close enough to many of her screen personas that you brush off any evidence that there's a human who is not playing a role, until something like an interest in the "antebellum south" without any recognition of what that term entails pops up and it makes you wonder what's actually going on in there.

either that or she's secretly creating gossip girl season something-teen in real life as an artistic endeavor

I still appreciate Matt Novak's semi-troll style

that nes clone article is horrible

lmao @ Gizmodo being an actual tech blog at one point

After playing Super Mario Brothers 3 for an hour, I started questioning my existence, wondering how I ever became so obsessed with this silly grey box.

read this and thought "FU 4EVA!!!"

why would anyone buy that when you can already play NES/SNES on the WiiU

a lot of nes nostalgists dont have a wii/wiiu and wouldnt mind dropping 60 bucks to play most of the games they remember from childhood

I guess she's talking about the 500$ thing the dude in the article is using. which is obv nuts. basically paying hundreds of dollars just for the upscaling.

oh haha i assumed it was the 60 buck one they just announced, my bad

can't you upscale w/ a $35 raspberry pi?

there's upscaling, and there's good-looking upscaling. then there's upscaling with cry emulation, interpolation, and all kinds of shit to get your tv to look like a classic arcade monitor

There’s really not too much to this, but if you need a break from the world or a little time-out on brain activity, just watch this totally silly video of silicone being poured over Lego bricks. It’s stupid but it’s kind of, sort of, fun to see the layers of goo neatly pile up until they collapse all over each other. At that point, the silicone crawls and oozes down until it satisfyingly fills the crevices around the bricks.

irl lol, sorry, i know it's getting played to just keep shitting on sploid but its just so ridiculous

Gawker looks like shit running Chrome on Windows unless I force it to use my default system fonts via adblocking.

I haven't seen a superhero movie in like 8 years but I can't imagine

A. seeing movies this way
B. Listening to something called "nerdwriter"
C. Watching a video where someone talks at me about "moments vs. scenes" for 6 minutes

http://sploid.gizmodo.com/the-main-reason-batman-v-superman-sucked-isnt-what-you-1784396367

headline needs and that's ok

i will not watch it, but i bet the much-loathed phrase "story beats" appears a few times in that video

one year gone, rip

i remember that day so vividly lol

i was in a hotel room in seattle and there was something strange about the 24 hour cable news channel discussing two ilxors

two?

max and j0rdan

i've been in the camp of "I only read gawker for the thoughtful longform pieces" for a while, but if this backlash sticks it might become harder for gawker to retain any of that credibility with either writers or audience

i'm guessing more writers will think twice about pitching to gawker if they don't do some serious damage control xp

YES

‏@pareene
the perfect end to this election is Trump quitting and an actual doctrinaire conservative cruising to victory on a raft of media praise

where "actual doctrinaire conservative" means someone who intends to eradicate the death penalty, preserve abortion access and voting rights, and possibly expand social security? Sorry I know it's tiresome continuing to mention the domestic policy differences between actual conservatism and what you think it means

HRC has never come out against the death penalty afaik

It's in the platform and the nomination of Scalia's replacement will most likely seal the deal.

I think pareene is talking about fantasy of Trump quitting and GOP replacing him with standard issue con before election
