Gawker announced it will be auctioning off everyone’s favorite insufferable video game blog, Kotaku, next week. With such hard hitting pieces as “Call of Duty 4 hates puppies” and “This RPG Sets Feminism Back, Oh, A Good Hundred Years,” they truly need a media mastermind to continue their legacy of journalistic excellence.
So what would make a good bid for such an esteemed titan of game media?
Play Asia tweeted out their opening bid. A cigarette butt, a used Kleenex, and about $10 in what could very likely be fake money.

Notch says he can own Kotaku just by blasting them out on Twitter.

Heat Street is willing to give Nick Denton a lifetime supply of Heat Street brand hot sauce. Seriously, though, we have way too many of these things — storage is becoming an issue. We’ll even throw in a stamp card for a free bibimbap. Only nine more stamps required.

Do you think you can top these bids?
