Chris Kohler is great. Happy to see good things happening for him!

 

[Visualante2]

Strong gain for Kotaku. Will be interesting to see if Kobun changes his writing at all. I never got the impression that Wired held Chris back but it's such a different outlet.

 

[fernoca]

Crappy and eternal Servbot avatar guy.

 

[Audioboxer]

Congrats! Kotaku has come a long way in recent years.

 

[shnurgleton]

How soon til he leaves for Vice?

 

[robotrock]

How soon til he leaves for Vice?

Only one Kotaku writer left for Vice

 

[Jhoan]

Nice grab! Kotaku has a diverse group of writers so I'm looking forward to hearing KobunHeat Heat on Kotaku's Split Screen podcast. I loved hearing all about his Japan adventures and collecting games on 8-4 Play.

[GG-Duo]

Wow, what a great get from Kotaku. They continue to be awesome.

I thought that Kohler would go to some place with less day-to-day reporting and closer aligned to traditional publishing like Glixel. But this is way better.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

Congrats, Chris! Kotaku just leveled up.

 

[Danthrax]

Wait, he left Wired?

pls

put down the TV remote and read more Gaming side =P

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I laughed.

Congratulations, Chris!

This is also a very good grab for Kotaku.

 

[sirronoh]

Thanks GAF! You're always there for me.

Congrats Chris!

 

[Exokell]

This is like Hannity joining CNN. More positive Nintendo news.

 

[Weebos]

He said some things that have grated on me in the past, but I literally can't remember any of them. I'm willing to give him another shot.

Congrats to both parties, he seems well liked here.

 

[Rymuth]

Grats. Good fit

 

[Sectorseven]

Game journalism feels like musical chairs.

 

[Erevador]

Glad he found a home at an outlet with reach worthy of him. Keep doing great work Chris!

 

[Case909]

Congrats Chris!

Wired was a bit too mainstream for his wealth of niche gaming knowledge and abilities. I can't wait to see the content he creates with Kotaku.

Also strongly recommend everyone checks out his weekly podcast, Good Job, Brain!, where him and his co-hosts cover a wide variety of trivia topics every week.

 

[firehawk12]

pls

put down the TV remote and read more Gaming side =P

I only see Kohler now on the rare occasion he hops onto a Retronauts episode. lol

 

[Road of Ease]

Great news! Congrats Chris and Kotaku

 

[Jb]

Game journalism feels like musical chairs.

Well its not like there are dozens and dozens of outlets around who are able to pay a bunch of full time writers...

 

[Fjordson]

Good stuff, I like Kohler. Kotaku is solid all around these days.

 

[GlamFM]

Good get. More power to Kotaku.

 

[FN-2187]

Congrats, Chris! Please start doing a weekly podcast. I loved the Game|Life podcast, and you're always great on Retronauts.

 

[bumpkin]

How? I thought Hulk Hogan leg dropped Gawker into bankruptcy. lol.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Looking forward to hearing that the Final Fantasy brand is dead on a different site now!

 

[Makonero]

How? I thought Hulk Hogan leg dropped Gawker into bankruptcy. lol.

Gawker is bankrupt. They sold off their assets (other sites) to Univision. So now The Onion and Kotaku are under the same umbrella.

 

[wrowa]

Huh! Honestly the last place I expected him to end up, but then again it's still just weird to think he won't be at Wired anymore. Still, congrats!

 

[Adam Tyner]

How? I thought Hulk Hogan leg dropped Gawker into bankruptcy. lol.

Univision owns what's now known as Gizmodo Media.

 

[thestopsign]

For those of you who don't know, he is the one who got Iwata/Miyamoto to admit that Pikmin 3 was in development in like 2010/2011.

Also he is a great journalist and a great pick up for Kotaku.

 

[Buddy Mcpuddy]

Good to see a talented writer like Kohler landing on his feet.

That was Chris Remo.

Wasn't that Chris Remo?

 

[hydrophilic attack]

kotaku building quite the team

 

[xir]

where's the gafcast video with the dancing?

 

[Gattsu25]

How? I thought Hulk Hogan leg dropped Gawker into bankruptcy. lol.

Univision bought TheRoot.com
later, they bought the sister sites to what was once gawker

TheRoot, io9, Kotaku all under one roof <3

 

[Buttonbasher]

where's the gafcast video with the dancing?

Gah, I thought I was going to be the first to bring up the GAFcast.

Congrats Chris!

[tenderbrew]

Not a Kotaku fan so a bummer for me.

Chris is rad though and I loved his book so congrats to him.

 

[reelbigtink]

Congrats Chris! I'm wearing my Good Job Brain hoodie right now so it is officially CK day in this house.

 

[.JayZii]

How's that new retro game podcast coming along that I'm just now speaking into existence?

 

[Jarnet87]

Glad to see he wasn't out of work for long, hope it works out. Would love if he did another gaming podcast.
