Nintendo Fails With Scabbiest Press Launch Event In History

3:32AM February 25, 2011 | Kat Hannaford

Sometimes, just sometimes, tech and gaming journalists are made to feel like rockstars by companies desperate to get in their pocket. This was not one of those events. As Electricpig puns, Nintendo’s Kirby’s Epic Yarn launch was more like Kirby’s Epic Yawn. [Electricpig]

That’s Me In That Ad

7:59AM November 27, 2010 | Brian Barrett

As regular Gizmodo readers may already know, I occasionally act in comedy sketches and the like. I also go out very rarely on commercial auditions (for a brief while in 09 I was in a Hot Pockets ad that ran, it seemed, almost exclusively on MTV2. You’ve seen it if you’re a Rob & Big fan). More »

Well, the past 40 odd hours or so have been exceptionally interesting for some reason. It’s kind of interesting from my perspective – for the most part I feel like a reader, following the story and feeling its highs and lows just like you. But as editor of Giz AU, I also represent the greater Gizmodo brand, which is obviously in the spotlight at the moment. More »

On Executive Assclowns

1:37PM December 3, 2009 | Brian Lam

I’ve seen a lot of strong reaction to Jesus’s funny post on assclowns today. People screamed fanboy, and said calling them “assclowns” and the photoshopping clown noses on their faces was a bit much. But the main thing is, those quotes were in context. And I think it was astounding how wrong and overly confident these competitors were. You can’t dismiss anyone, let alone Apple. It was idiotic lip service and if they truly felt that way, they weren’t doing their jobs properly. More »
