Have a dog that embarrasses easily? Still looking for a way to humiliate them this Halloween? This Katamari Damacy Prince costume may be just the ticket. I wish my dog were smaller, because I'd totally be ordering her one — and she thinks the height of humiliation is being forced to wear her light up, blinking reindeer horns during the Christmas season (little does she know what smaller dogs get forced to wear!). At a mere $30 for a custom-made outfit, it's certainly more reasonably priced than a lot of niche gamer gear — and oh-so-cute! The Etsy seller also has a few wee Nintendo controller necklaces for sale if you don't have a canine gracing your daily life. More »

If I had a dog and wished to dress him up in a costume for Halloween, these would be the designs they found on my drawing table next to my dead body, my brain having exploded to save me from the embarrassment of actually dressing up my pet. Everyone knows I am a cat person anyway, and cats are just begging to be fitted with samurai armor. Thanks, Long Le, for the vid! More »

Now that our favorite canine epicure CliffyB is finished making Gears of War, he's all ready to talk up a storm about it. And namely, how it's different from the competition. Cliff, like us (and "us" being Mike McWhertor), is a lurker. He confesses, "I'd be a liar if I didn't say I was searching through forums on occasion and you know looking at what the other companies are up to." And what are other companies up to? Gears will be going against the PS3's shooter Resistance. Is there room for both? CliffyB thinks so: More »
