Hehehe.

I'd say they're indeed retarded, but I've done stupider, and seen ALOT stupider things.

The thing that pisses me off about it is that people on the internet being what they are they'll start associating Aquaria with that crappy parody. Sad

Oh well.

Kotaku deserves a really good apology to Derek. A very solid apology in fact: Derek's name and Aquaria received many bashes because of this lack of rigor from Kotaku...

I sent the guy that wrote the story a polite email explaining his mistake entitled "Um... WTF":

"You guys make sure you have the facts right before you make posts, right? I guess not.

Derek blogged about a video parodying Ben Yahtzee, but he didn't make it. In fact, he even included the source in his original post!

'(Thanks Dracko! Via The Gamer's Quarter forums)'"

This kind of stuff really gets under my skin for some reason. There's nothing more annoying than having someone hating you because of a misunderstanding.

Ah, well, all publicity is good publicity, as they say. Though 'they' may be liars.

response: "Sorry about that. I had just found out my sister had been sent to the
hospital this morning for hemorrhaging, so my mind was a little bit
addled. I unpublished the post, should be gone momentarily."

!?

Now I feel crappy.  Undecided

And so it begins. Lips Sealed

The post-counting, not the hemorrhaging of sisters.

Also, MY TITLE IS A LIE.
I did not enjoy the pizza.

I made a devilishly witty comment on the Kotaku article this morning, but my account wasn't approved in time.  Sad

And I'm glad I'm not the #1 post count anymore.  I don't need that weight on my shoulders!
