This poor kid was stuffed inside a hot dog costume and entered into a race with two other kids: Ketchup and Relish. Our friend was Mustard and as soon as he made the turn down the right field line his pants started falling down. It was only a matter of time, then. He ate it so hard, and then he ate it again.

We're loath to see the Sochi Olympics go—truth be told, a few of us are starting to miss Nightmare Bear—so we enlisted the help of old video game consoles to help recreate some of the Winter Games' most memorable moments. Hockey, freestyle skiing, curling—they're all here, backed up by an NES, a Sega Genesis, PSX, and…

Real life is the game that everyone is playing. But it can be tough. This is your guide.

Well, that's one way to put Titanfall on the PS4, I guess.

Seattle's Richard Sherman didn't just swat away San Francisco's shot at a Super Bowl, he also crapped all over the 49ers' Michael Crabtree in a postgame interview straight out of Piper's Pit. Sherman mocked Crabtree's credentials while boasting of his own. So I wondered: Is there any objective proof for his claims?

Yes, you can also win Mario Party: Island Tour by doing nothing. Like Mario Party 9 and Super Smash Bros. Melee—and Global Thermonuclear War in Wargames—the only winning move is not to play. [Video by StreetPass Princeton, N.J.]

Surely you have heard of BatDad by now. He's had a Today Show appearance. He's had a 'Shop Contest. He even has an agent, or so we've heard (from said agent). But every superhero needs an archnemesis. That's why we now have BaneDad.

Someone on Twitter is reenacting Back to the Future—"in real time"—creating nearly 50 accounts for all of the characters (and the DeLorean). If you like the movie, you'll love The Hill Valley Project. Seven hours ago, Marty saved George from getting run over, and he should wake up in Lorraine's bedroom any minute now.

Every Single Hat in Team Fortress 2, Worn by a Single Character: This is only a tiny snapshot of all forty-lebem-sebemty-thirteen TF2 hats that Spy has equipped, all at once, in a drawing by DeviantArt's AshleyLange. Trust me, the stack goes up way, way, higher than this. Can you identify them all? This guy tried.

Potato Girl Loves Their Hash Browns: Who knew that Denny's were such big fans of Attack on Titan? After someone sent the diner chain a picture of "Potato Girl," calling her "your mascot," Denny's Twitter account sent out this scrumptious mash-up. [CrunchyRoll, h/t mr_raccoon]

Years ago, all LEGO minifigures had a placid, happy expression and a pointedly non-ethnic skintone that fit their role in the larger LEGO universe: They were props, the same as a tree or a fire hydrant. But as LEGO has made more movie tie-ins—and video games—its minifigs have become more brooding. Darker. Angrier.

Either Hip-Hop Gamer's an official greeter at Los Angeles International Airport, or he was waiting patiently for Kotaku to touch down there today, as he was the first guy the gang saw after getting off the flight. Here, editor-in-chief Stephen Totilo models HHG's state-of-the-art, platform-agnostic pants holder-upper.

Joining last year's miracle Half-Life 3 onion ring, @joshpav just found this Borderlands logo/Vault symbol in his meal. (As retweeted by Gearbox Software president and CEO Randy Pitchford.)
