We're a blog. But you knew that already. You've been coming here for weeks/months/years. But if you've been paying attention to gaming news (and in particular, the source of some gaming news) over the past 12 months or so, you'll have noticed some other blogs becoming a little more prominent. And they're not news ones, like ours. Not "oh here's a picture of my cat, George, with pants on" ones, either. I'm talking company blogs. More »

In a four-hour special called "News War," FRONTLINE examines how news media today is changing. Interesting and fascinating — Worth a watch, if only to see a millisecond of Kotaku. Be sure to blink so you can miss it! Brian Ashcraft More »

William Vitka, who previously headed CBS's GameCore and who's now at the The New Post, has kicked the paper's online gaming coverage into full gear with a new blog, Post Game Report. Vitka's a sharp journalist, so it's a definite bookmark for me. Head over, and check his this thoughts on Star Wars Galaxies and Sony Online Entertainment. Hint: They ain't happy thoughts.

There's others, too. Reader Jan sent along this neat trend chart that riffs on the Tokyo subway. Created by Japan-based design agency Information Architects, it's a mash-up of the most used websites from last year and what to expect from next. As the agency's site says, "It's totally unscientific and almost useless, but definitely fun to look at." To find us, Kotaku's the last stop on the enfeebled and underfed brown (yummy) "Blogs" line. Fitting. Brian Ashcraft More »

Rayman Raving Rabbids has a blog. Yes, it's over at our stinky arch-nemesis' own personal Mordor, IGN. But it features lost of portly game progammers with the consistency of cottage cheese being mangled by insane, cackling rabbits. Which, frankly, is good enough for me. Florian Eckhardt More »

Ton of Clay is the blog of gamedev Clayton Kauzlaric, creator of Voodoo Vince and Total Annihilation. It's been up since August, but I've just today had my attention drawn to it by friend Stickypig, a firm admirer of Vince. More »

Microsoft's XNA Game Studio Express got its own blog. It's called XNA Team Blog (clever!), helmed by XNA manager dude Boyd Multerer and looks pretty Spartan compared to Major Nelson's page or even the Gamerscore Blog. Microsoft's favorite thingy is to set its employees loose in the Blogosphere to communicate with folks, address pressing issues and troll Sony. Brian Ashcraft More »

It's a question I hear all the time. Lacking any imagination of my own, I've decided to completly rip off Luke's post and write about my own vast FeedDemon subscriptions. More »

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=184724&view=rss&microfeed=true Smart, funny writing about games is few and far between. (Especially on Kotaku! Pre-owned, suckers!) That's why you should avail yourself of MetaFuture.com, the new home of the writing of the eminently readable Matthew J. Gallant, The Most Fireable Man in the Business. More »

If you have a blog and you're going to E3, you're probably going to want to blog those priceless "Wouldn't that have been awesome?" revisionist accounts of your pat, innuendo-infused dialogues with the Konami booth babe in the assless chaps. But if this is your first E3, you're going to learn the hard way that Internet access can be hard to come by on the showfloor. More »

It started like teenagers do, kind of bumbly, awkward and definitely underdeveloped, but 1up.com's now weekly 1UP Show has evolved considerably in recent weeks into something far more than editors sitting around a roundtable talking about games (see the Aug. 20 first video feature) and into a pretty cohesive and brilliant piece of weekly entertainment. It does what podcasts, video reviews and written reviews all should strive for in a coherent 30-minute video package. More »
