	[quote name="Souffle of Pain"]Yeah, this guy is fucking terrible. If he worked anywhere other than Kotaku, he'd need to be fired. [quote name="Worm"][quote]This lengthy note here is not the coverage I promised. <b>This is just a post to signal to readers that a story is still forthcoming. It was, like many things this week, affected by natural disaster, one that has knocked down Kotaku’s (and my) home city and that has knocked our website out for an unprecedented number of days (hence the Kotumblr you’re on now).</b> While we are trying to publish here with a business-as-usual level of authority and passion, a reported story about the breadth of games journalism issues that have been discussed this past week merits being posted on our own website, where reader feedback is possible in the comments and where visibility of the story will be maximized. And, on a more human level, stranded at home, working with intermittent Internet for a couple of days, I simply haven’t had the time to collect and consider all the results of my reporting, round up all the links I want to point to and, bottom line, do this story right. So, again, this is not what was promised. But I thought all readers deserved an explanation about why Kotaku, traditionally a leader in games reporting, has been mum on this topic for nearly a week. Blame Sandy. Blame me. It doesn’t matter. I look forward to covering this <i>important</i> story in the days to come.[/quote] The bold is me but those sneer italics on <i>important</i> are all him.[/quote] He blames Sandy, but up above is this part: [quote]In the days that followed my “not important” line was snarkily contrasted with other stories we’ve run that, it was inferred, had been deemed more important than the exploring the values of good journalism. I failed to appreciate how that one comment would be used to demean our other work and how willingly some critics would ignore the strong and often skeptical reporting efforts put forth by the Kotaku team on myriad gaming topics. <b>When I wasn’t playing Assassin’s Creed III this weekend, I was discussing and arguing with the users of the NeoGAF forum.</b>[/quote] He was playing Assassin's Creed 3 and posting on NeoGAF, but guys, it was totally the hurricane that stopped him from commenting on his fellow industry whores being easily purchased. (Also, everyone who reports to him were busy as well.) Where the fuck did they find this guy? I realize you're not going to get anyone worth a damn editing Kotaku, but they could have done better than this dickhead. [/quote]
