    @aeonzero: Yeah, I'm sure if you held down two jobs related in the same industry you wouldn't advertise on one the other. Also, did you know that on BLOGS the writers could write about whatever they want?

    Oh, and also, the shirts are awesome, and game-related, so I would say they fit here quite nicely.

    And....sold. I just bought the Agro Polo DX T-shirt. Thanks Mike!

    It seems like Kotaku brought MeatBun to it's knees though. The site was so bogged down I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get my shirt.

    @ionicc: I think this might be normal, actually.

    They really need a new web server or whatever it is that makes your site load on the internet. Every single time I've gone to the site it takes forever to load anything. I would bet it's actually hurting their business.

    @Mit: Another thing that's probably hurting their business is that the shirts aren't good.

    Either that or I'm setting my expectations too high, because I don't know of a single site with consistently quality gaming shirts.

    @SlinkyGuy - So Animalistic, I eat tea and poop out stones & Chronixal: It's the day the great Labor King came out from the sky, on his flaming chariot and helped vanquish the evil lord JOMAMA.

    Ever since Americans and Canadians leave a day out of their calender to worship Labor King by praying for eternal salvation and egos bigger than our stomachs to act superior to those that don't live in our respected countries. JOMAMA is believed to be the separate souls of everyone that doesn't live in Canada or USA.

    I know this may seem trivially silly, but it seems like a disclaimer be included about McWhertor & his involvement with Meat Bun.



    Sure, Kotaku's a blog, but nominally, it covers "news" - this really blurs the line between news & advertisement which makes me sort of uncomfortable.



    If I'm the only one, then whatever - but it seems like a simple (full disclosure: McWhertor = Meat Bun) sort of disclaimer would do the trick, and ensure that there's a clear distinction between articles and advertorials...

    @helava: To be fair, Kotaku sort-of regularly posts about purchasable non-software content such as figurines and custom creations. So, it is not completely without precedent.



    Sometimes, though, it does go a bit far (*cough* the constant reminders of Arcade Mania a while back *cough*).

    @helava: Yeah, it makes me uneasy as well, but it's hardly the first time this has been posted nor is it made a secret that McWhertor is a co-owner of the company. Still, where does one draw the line? Ashcroft's spamming Arcade Mania here? Crecente's mentioning of his wife's novel with a link to buy? I just accept that this is and remains a blog and not to be held to the standards of a real newspaper or publication. I know anyone with his/her own website would definitely use it to promote his/her interests, and this isn't that far removed from that I think.

    @helava: O don't think it really matters that it's McW's site. They give etsy & threadless and that other place free advertisement as well. Not to mention Arcade Mania (Bashcraft).



    It doesn't make the products any better or worse knowing who made them. I'm normally all for righteous indignation, but for some reason, this doesn't bother me. Just my rather vague and inexplicable opinion...



    Also I think Kotaku writers partially get paid on the number of clicks an article gets (hello, sensational headlines) so in a sense he's paying for the "ad" ......if it doesn't get clicked on as much, whereas he could've run "This just in.........Wii sucks!" and gotten 1000 hits.



    That's assuming things still work the same with Gawker (see "Nick Denton pays") on google and look for the article with Darth Vader as the pic.

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: Well, if you think about it, you'd have to be on speaking terms to organize a fight. Vega and Chun-Li are trying to KILL each other. That doesn't make for good sports. Vega vs. Balrog, though, would be a good, friendly competition. Probably.
