Kotaku banned me long ago for a snarky comment on io9; can someone post the other two? Honestly journalistic standards are pretty low if they didn't even read the GameSetWatch comments. But then again... Kotaku. They get paid by the post.
Just imagine how awesome the elevators would be on the Wii version.
Yeah.
Move the Wii remote to stare at parts of the elevator!
You'll also be able to use the Balance Board peripheral to actually simulate standing in an elevator!
Hahahah. BALANCE CORRECTLY TO NOT FALL DOWN. OH NO, THE ELEVATOR IS SLOWING AS IT APPROACHES YOUR FLOOR!
In any case, I just noticed I mispelled Shepard's name on the Photoshops (half the time, hilariously enough) so here are the edited versions to prove that I'm not retarded:

Now now, that's no way to talk about the upcoming Pulitzer Prize winners in Supreme Journalism.
Whats with all the Kotaku hate? For what it is it does a pretty good job, it isn't some international news network that relies on its journalistic integrity and honesty to gain peoples trust and viewership. It covers video games, and it does a pretty good job and has better reviews than most other sites.
Their "reviews" are up-your-ass-attempting-to-be-edgy-and-different and in fact, worse than the regular score reviews because the ones Kotaku does allow for extreme amounts of amateurism to seep into the text, which shows when they penalize games for not having the ideas the writer thought the games should have. Suddenly the writer is a game developer that knows best. Bunch of bullshit. When you don't put a score to contrast your text, you apparently can write any kind of shit you want, because then you don't have to justify it (which is what scores do in relation to text usually).
As such, even you said "reviews". But what they do aren't reviews. They're just simply opinions made by people who are unqualified to do "reviews". Not that most of the reviewing body out there is qualified, but these people make it obvious.
Other than that, their general demeanor makes them look like clowns, as if they're waiting for that Pulitzer prize to be delivered any day now for their cutting edge journalistic skills and integrity on videogames. Serious business. When they make inane posts then it's a "blog", but the rest of the time what goes on there is the apex of human civilization.
Oh and the posts about their kids. Jesus. Trying to hawk your spawn off on the readership as some kind of a sensation that relates to gaming is just amazing. Here come the established chroniclers of the future gamers (only by coincidence their children) to spread the gospel of scientific research regarding the first ever (ha ha) generation of professional gamers raising kids.
I understand the desire for making the world know that you procreated and how your kids are the best and most unique kids ever in comparison to everyone else, by showing their photo to everyone you meet, but these people take it to most obnoxious levels that you can take that shit to.
Anyway, that's just off the top of my head on why I hate it.

You take Kotaku way, way too seriously. You seem to have invested weeks of research into your hate. I visit the site daily and I have not even seen half the problems you listed. It is good for a game news website, I never read their "Kotaku features" or any of that so maybe I am missing out on lots of horrible content.
My only real complaint would be that they do show some bias, especially against Microsoft and most western games. It can get pretty bad sometimes.

I don't think there's a way to take it too seriously or too lightheartedly. It is what it is. In Kotaku's case, it's most definitely trash on the majority of points, as far as I see it.

I think they pass as a news site, I just use it to get news on the video game industry and for that it is one of the most frequently updated sites. I ignore the bullshit and just look for news about games I care about and it is usually one of the first sites with info up, excluding the originating source.
I don't want to argue about this though, so lets decide this over a ToH duel off.
I hope there's a subplot where your female love interest gets knocked up in ME2. Or if you played a female and got banged by Mr Energy Legs, where you are knocked up.

That would be an interesting twist.
And there's a sub-subplot where you have to decide if you want to cure a rare disease that the baby has while the baby is in the womb!

I am not prepared. Media blackout ftw fuck you teaser
I don't want to know until after I've installed it that you start off as faceless marine #3929 and that Shepard is now the bad guylol so I can appropriately rage my way onto the Bioware forums and get banned

Oh lordy imagine the Fauxrage that would result.
I'd prefer a level where you have to check a bunch of crates and lockers to find out where you put the baby.
On a positive note, they could take a line from the Eastern Europeans and let the baby be a stat-boosting inventory item like in King's Bounty.
See, this is the delicious mythos they have created for Shepard. The first question when interacting with new species is not cultural, or spiritual. It's physical.

Hey.
I'll do stuff for you if you tell me about the teaser.
So not only would you get the money.
But you know, other stuff.
You know.

Shepard is equal parts Kirk and Jack Bauer.
That would be an awesome sub-plot, getting Wrex laid.
