Recently soft-launched by CollegeHumor Media (aka Connected Ventures), the IAC company is today formally introducing the latest addition to its ever-expanding network of funny websites.

Meet Dorkly.com, a new videogame humor property that caters to “all gamers, be they nerds, geeks, or even dweebs”. That sounds like you, so we thought we’d share.

According to the press release, Dorkly.com will feature original articles, comics, user-submitted photos and viral videos relevant to the gaming community, edited by Brian Murphy. Dorkly essentially wants to become the web’s go-to source for funny content about games and gaming culture. Example: Christian-Approved Versions of Controversial Games.

On a sidenote: you can write for Dorkly too, if you’re content with their pay-out schemes: $25 for 10,000 pageviews, $50 for 25,000 pageviews, and so on.

Go check it out. But do come back.
