Nothing Like Pointing and Clicking Through 18th C. Crime

It's not everyday that we get to play a flash game set in mid-1700's Georgian London, where early policing tactics were introduced by the Bow Street magistrates. It's not everyday that we get to play a flash game made by Alice over at Wonderland! Dubbed Bow Street Runner, it's set in Covent Garden, which was overrun with prostitutes, booze and crime. (And we're trying to STOP this?!) It's a point and click detective game — and a really great one at that!

Alice and Corey Find a Pretty Posey

Kotaku is not, typically, a place of personal announcements, but I've long been a big fan of both Alice Taylor and Corey Doctorow's work. In fact, Alice still irregularly contributed to Kotaku. So I think it's fair to show off their latest endeavor: Poesy Emmeline Fibonacci Nautilus Taylor Doctorow, born 9 pounds, six ounces at home in a pool in London. Now to convince Alice to write some more bits for us in her "free time". That free time thing always cracks me up. Congrats guys!

Business Life's Second Life

Wonderland's globe-trotting Alice sends word that British Airways' inflight magazine business life has a cover story on Second Life. And what's the article about? "Virtual Life, Real Money: How To Make Hard Cash In A Fantasy World." As Alice points out, "every businessperson who's flown BA...is going to have to read this." For better or worse, for better or worse. Brian Ashcraft More »

Big Nintendo Blanket To Snuggle With

Starring Tetris, Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong. Gotta agree with Alice, this certainly raises the bar for Nintendo-themed cross-stitching. Heck, just for cross-stitching even! Brian Ashcraft More »

PS3 For Car Disney World Car Ad

To get my fill of Americana (and fat people), I hit Disneyworld with the fam while I was recently back in the States. Grabbed lunch with Alice, who spotted this in the Animal Kingdom parking lot: Someone advertising 20GB and 60GB PLAYSTATION 3s for sale and trying to make the happiest place on earth that much happier. Or something like that. More »

Clips: PS3 Vs. Steamroller Vs. Christmas

More busting-shit-up idiocy. This time we've got a radio station (doing YouTube stuff, go figure) quizzing some guy named Daniel. Correct questions get him closer to the PS3. Wrong ones get the steamroller closer. The questions are tough — though, I so knew the Boxing Day question 'cos Alice at Wonderland explained it to me last week! The end result? PS3s can give steamrollers some air. Brian Ashcraft

Real-Life Interactions Between Alliance and Horde

Wild Mario Mushroom in the ... um Wild

I know these things exist, and I know that this isn't news, but it's still pretty funny to see one just growing out there under a tree. Glyn sent these two pics in because he was as delighted as I would have been to discover one all on his own while on a canal boat trip in sunny Stoke-on-Trent, UK. I assume the first pic is before he licked the mushroom and the second is after. Triptafantastic. Brian Crecente More »

Rule of Rose First Impressions

Last night I finally was able to grab Rule of Rose. I made Lady Grey tea with lots of cream and sugar, put my hair in pigtails and didn't leave the couch for the next two hours. I haven't gotten too far in, instead taking my time skulking and listening and psyching myself out. I have a lot more planned for tonight. More »

100 Most Influential Women in Gaming

And sadly, none of them are Crecente. To gear up for this week's Women in Games International conference in Seattle, a list the industry 100 Most Influential Women has been drawn up. The list contains the likes of Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan, "sex in games lady" Brenda Brathwaite, PMS leader Amber Dalton and Wonderland's (and Kotaku's when we blackmail her) Alice Taylor. An interesting read and insight into a traditionally male dominated industry. Brian Ashcraft More »
