Kotaku, a very popular video game fansite, picked up my most recent Gameshelf column, reprinting it (and modifying the headline somewhat) with my permission. Though I put on airs of being a snootypants indie game critic, you know that this made my day.

Because it's Kotaku, this version of my column actually has comments. I find myself at peace with letting them just spool out as they will, with no further comment from me. (The column involves some dork flapping his gums about comic books to a crowd of video game fans, so the average level of immediately resulting discourse is... unsurprising.)

That's awesome! I don't read Kotaku because I'm a huge snob but I recognize the strength of the brand, shall we say.

Hope this leads to more subscribers for you guys!

Excellent! And good attitude on the comments--the work says what you want it to, let the readers make what of it they will.

Congratulations! Kotaku is a very impressive place to get a piece published, and it will certainly see a wide readership. It's always a strange feeling to think that a throwaway
comment on a site like Kotaku, (much less an article) can receive hundreds or times
more viewership than a carefully thought out post on one's personal site. This sounds
like the best of both worlds for you.

Jmac, I'm sure you already know this, but you're such a talented writer! I have no interest in this genre of gaming at all, but I still read your entire piece because your writing is compelling. That's all.
