Anyone who’s every spent any amount of time at Kotaku would laugh hysterically at his ‘claim’. Is Brian really in denial? Actively lying? I mean, seriously, how could he say something like that and expect people who know his site to actually buy it?

Hmm…the post above might be a bit inflammatory, I plead temporal aggrevasion on that one your honor.

Naw, I don’t consider that inflammatory (especially since it’s the usual type of rhetoric that Kotaku commenters rely on), I was just sleeping

But that’s really the hyporcritical message they send when they for example do this, as I posted on Mighty Ponygirl’s blog:

Question: What do two conventionally hot blonde chicks have to do with THQ’s new Chief Financial Officer?

Answer: Absolutely nothing! Let’s use them for a picture in the article! TAKE THAT, BOY’S CLUB!

Tekanji -

Thanks for the extra input. I know you all had a long history with Cresente, so I read the article and kind of had to pause there. *sigh* From where I sit, the boys club is alive and well.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Exactly my sentiments too. Getting rid of boy’s club my ass. “We are really mature adults, but boy look at the boobs on that chick”…
