We've got a date and a time! Heck, we've even got a mystery location (above). The Kotaku Tokyo get together kicks off Tuesday, September 18th at 8:00pm. It runs until they kick us out and turn off the booze. We'll have hand stamps at the door! Those who are definitely coming, shoot us an email to give us a heads up. Those who aren't, don't. The location is in town, and we'll reveal that soon-ish, along with directions. Can't wait! More »

We've just checked in and have packed like Arabian princesses. There's no way we can carry our suitcases up to our room. Thank goodness our bell-hops Sponsors are more than happy to lug our luggage. This week, Hotel Kotaku was brought to you by AT&T Broadband, American Apparel, Comedy Central, Focus Features Fearless, HD-DVD and Rockstar Games. Best part, they don't stick out their hands for a tip. More »

Our backs are killing us and our hands rubbed raw, but we continue on. We've found our treasure, and we've all been promised seven gold coins each. There's no way we would've discovered it, our Captain says, if we didn't have that map our Sponsors passed along. This week's treasure hunt was made possible by Maxell, Toyota Yaris and Kensington Books Books. We've spotted land in the distance, and the smell of salt burns our noses. More »

To celebrate Mario's B-Day, Nintendo has Internet clips from companies like Fuji Film, the Hanshin Tigers baseball team, and Nissin Cup Ramen wishing everybody's favorite plumber a "Happy B-Day." The coolest thing is that these commercials feature never-for-sale mock-ups with each company's logo. More »

Gawker Media's done it again. They've added to our growing blog empire, by launching a new site called "Deadspin," which will cover games. That's as in outdoor games (AKA "sports"). If you are interested in learning about which athletes are turds and shag groupies, then check this site out. We definitely would like to give Deadspin a warm welcome and offer them any help whatsoever should they post on the latest EA baseball software. Anything that involves real bats, well, they're on their own. More »
