A lot of us that write about games end up here kind of by mistake. I did—when I left college I had very different career goals. But we aren’t unhappy. We love games, and clearly we like writing. However, it’s still curious to me to hear that my peers are making more intentional inroads into the industry. It’s…
1. Everyone is in the workshop, everyone has a project. The food is coming in nicely — our next winter shouldn’t be a problem. I imagine that this small colony is buzzing with energy. There are hardships and disagreements, sure, but this will be okay. I can see a solid arc of survival ahead of us.
Strictoaster is one of my favorite YouTubers and this is my favorite video of his. It’s real Sunday watching—in it, he makes a highway connection as a tunnel, decides he hates it, and then redoes it as an overpass. Even edited down, this takes 40 minutes. His perfectionism is meditative. Enjoy.
Mr. Robot is one of my favorite tv shows right now and not just because of my overwhelming thirst for Rami Malek. It’s just got a serious point of view, and even if I’m not sure about the choices Sami Esmail makes, he makes them with an absolute sureness of footing. I was scrolling down my Facebook feed yesterday and…
On an impossibly hot Friday night, I invited five friends over to play The Quiet Year. If you’ve ever hosted a party before you know how risky this can be—all too often I feel like I’m negotiating between groups of people who don’t quite like each other. But this night was refreshingly harmonious. And it was because…
The Kindle Paperwhite (and books to put on it), water bottles, and a $30 range extender lead off Sunday’s best deals.
For some reason Kotaku has decided to give me this platform so I’m going to use it to share a very specific joke that I still find funny: this video of a band that Academy Award Winning Doom nerd Trent Reznor played in pre-Nine Inch Nails. They are called Slam Bamboo, you’re welcome.

After nine years of work on Pokémon Uranium, the fans who made it have removed all download links for the game from their website (h/t Christian), saying they want to respect Nintendo’s wishes that the game no longer be distributed, despite the fact that (according to them) it’s already been downloaded 1.5 million…
It’s been ten years: what’s two more months? Publisher Square Enix has briefed certain people on the corporate level of the retail chain GameStop that Final Fantasy XV will now come out on November 29, according to a number of sources. The highly anticipated RPG was previously scheduled for September 30.
1. I used to be one of those exhausting people that kept up with music blogs and checked out new bands, and then I got a life. However, the new records from Mitski and Car Seat Headrest are both pretty good. Mitski’s Puberty 2 is beautiful, funny and sad, while Car Seat Headrests’s Teens of Denial is more detached and…
Two-Face thinks he can turn everyone in Gotham City and the surrounding state into a greedy no-good criminal lowlife with the promise of cold, hard cash and the threat of suddenly revealed secrets. He’s probably right.
There are too many pidgeys in Pokémon Go. Man, fuck a Weedle too.
I want this in every color.
Glu, the developers of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, have now teamed up with Britney Spears for what feels like a sequel to their smash hit. Way back in 2014 (I know, practically ancient history), I wrote an article about Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, because in a pre-Snapchat world, I felt that Kim needed a little…
Kenny Baker, the man who played R2-D2 in the Star Wars films has died at the age of 81, after battling a long illness. (Updated with reactions from Star Wars community)
When Saturnina Alers was being honest with herself she’d begrudgingly admit she didn’t particularly like Jacqui Green, but in the middle of a war she never got much time for self reflection. Under the service of Aria Joie, most of her days were in meetings, oiling the joints of old mechs, making sure people were…
