The idea, says Christopher LaPorte, is you'll come into his club, sit on a large, luxurious couch, and examine a list handed to you by an attractive cocktail waitress. You'll then say something like, "I'll have the Mega Man 3, 1990. Please bring two controllers." More »

It kicks off at 1:30 PM Pacific on Sunday afternoon, so you might want to pencil that stardate down on your...starcalendars? More »

When I posted the story about the unveiling of the Master Chief wax figure at madame Tussauds in Las Vegas yesterday, we had yet to get our hands on any actual photos of the big guy all completed. Well, you asked for it, you got it. Here he is in all his waxy glory accompanied by unveiler, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. If you ask me, Pete seems a little too happy to be handling Master Chief's big ole' gun although I have to say it's a toss up on which one of them looks more fake. I'm going with Wentz. More »

With the Consumer Electronics Show going down next week in Las Vegas, I'm just about to make my trip east to score a little Kotaku coverage. That means I won't be playing much in the way of games this weekend. Outside of pulling a few slot machine arms and a handful of games of blackjack at the cheap tables, I'll probably play nothing but a few quick rounds of Bit Generations games on my Game Boy micro.
