Pizza is so delicious. When you eat it, all you can think is, "Wow, this pizza is so delicious." So night! Kotaku Tower would so love to eat pizza. But we don't have pizza! What to do? Ah, yes. See if the Sponsors have pizza. This week, Kotaku was cut slices by AT&T, Coors Light, Grand Theft Auto IV, Netgear, Nexon, TiVo, Toshiba Gaming, Unscrew America, The World Ends With You and Zune.

We're not sure if this is adorable or cruel! Kotaku commenter Purple-Penguin writes:
My son is dressed as a plane, a radio controlled plane, or you can look at it as I made a plane out of my son.
Hit the jump for reader Adam's plane, which he based off the Wright Flyer and made entirely out of Q-tips!

And the entries are pouring in! Above, reader Daniel cosplays as an airplane. Here's what's going on: Dress up as an airplane or make a three dimensional airplane out of anything tangible, but paper. So you can't make CGI planes! And you can't draw them either! But, you can make them out of anything else as long as it's not paper. Rocks, clay, toothpicks, whatever! And remember, that means make and not build a plastic plane model you bought in the store. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom and, like all contests, don't forget to add a "Kotaku" sign. Remember, we're giving away two copies of the game and INTERNET FAME. Haven't figured out if we'll give one out to the best cosplay and one to the best 3D plane, though...
Hit the jump for Kevin's plane, which he made out of 300 pipette tips.

Alrighty! Since none of you bastards (I repeat none) are willing to cosplay as airplanes, we're going to change up this contest. And giveaway another copy of Ace Combat 6 in the process. That's right, we're giving away two copies of Ace Combat 6 to the winner and the runner-up. New contest: Make a three dimensional airplane out of anything tangible, but paper. So you can't make CGI planes! And you can't draw them either! But, you can make them out of anything else as long as it's not paper. Rocks, clay, toothpicks, whatever! And remember, that means make and not build a plastic plane model you bought in the store. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom. Remember, we're giving away two copies of the game and INTERNET FAME.

Busy week! So busy! The busiest. Man, we need to sit down, max and relax. Anyone got some strawberry milk we can sip? Yep, our Sponsors do. And for that, we thank them. This week, Kotaku was brought to you by Ace Combat, Coors Light, Netgear, New York Times Travel, Unscrew America, and Vista. Now, back to that strawberry milk.

Forget it! We are so full and can't eat anymore. Here at Kotaku Tower, dirty dishes fill the sink. We can't even move. If only somebody would wash the dishes for us. If only! Oh, yes, I know: Our Sponsors. This week, the Kotaku dishes were kept clean by Ace Combat, Netgear, New York Times Travel, Toshiba Gaming and Unscrew America. For that, we thank them! Squeak, squeak.

Holy cow is it early! And we are sleepy. So sleepy. So very sleepy. If only we had pillows. We don't, but our Sponsors do! Yay!! This week, Kotaku got a good night's rest thanks to Ace Combat, American Apparel, CDC Games, SciFi Channel's Battlestar Galactica, Netgear, Rockstar Games, Toshiba Gaming and Unscrew America. For that, we thank them!

Like that, another week has come to an end. We are so sad we are going to cry. Right now? We are weeping. If only we had tissues or a dry hanky. We don't! But we have Sponsors and Sponsors have shirts with sleeves that we can use to wipe our puffy eyes. For that, we thank them! This week, Kotaku's salty tears were dried by American Apparel, CDC Games, SciFi Channel's Battlestar Galactica, Insecticide, Rockstar Games, Turning Point and Unscrew America.

What. A. Week. We just want to curl up in a little ball and sleep. Too bad we don't have any pillows in Kotaku Tower! It's horrible sleeping on rocks. Wait! Our Sponsors say they've got pillows. Better yet, we can use them. This week Kotaku was brought pillows by SciFi Channel's Battlestar Galactica, Insecticide, New York Times Travel, Rockstar Games, Turning Point and Unscrew America. For that, we thank them!

It's a pendant I'm making for my college jewelry class inspired by the Kotaku contest. It's made of 14k gold pierce work on the front and pure silver on the back with a pearl drop. Hopefully it's not too serious for the contest. (T.T)
That's it.
You can use anything to make it EXCEPT CG. So yeah, if you want to make a bug outta newspapers, sticks, clay, whatever, DO IT. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom with the subject line "Insect." The contest ends March 7th at midnight PST. That's today!
