GameSetWatch And Kotaku: It's Freaky Friday!

- The real question, of course, is whether GameSetWatch is Jodie Foster or Lindsay Lohan, but it would be remiss of me not to mention that over at Kotaku, Brian Crecente has revealed that I'll be guest editing the site for a week next month, while he's swanning around in Australia pretending to be Tina Turner in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

The other two guest Kotaku editors, who will be taking the first two weeks in November, will be Game Head's (and GameSlice's, if you go back that far!) Geoff Keighley, and Water Cooler Games' Ian Bogost, who famously survived trial by Colbert while rocking the squarest tie knot I've seen in some time. I believe I'll be posting my trifles on Kotaku from November 19th-23rd, and I promise to keep GSW ticking over during that time nonetheless.

Why would this insanity happen, you might ask? Well, firstly, the Kotaku firehose is rather mighty nowadays, and I think I'll enjoy training it on some worthy, possibly neglected sites in the indie, alternative, and developer game blog worlds. And secondly, I get to write bedtime stories to Kotaku's Japanese editor Brian Ashcraft? Who could possibly pass up the chance to whisper sweet nothings to the composer of Bittersweet Symphony? So there you go!

We'll be fighting the urge to re-blog Carless penned posts from our own site. I expect much vertigo.

In other words, yay!

But who will guestblog at GSW while you are writing for Kotaku? And the chain of guestblogging continues...

First, Liam Gallagher confused me with Richard Ashcroft and now you!!

this is what is called a "feel good news story"
