Tim Rogers

I (Tim Rogers) am playing Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot over on our Twitch channel. I plan to have a good time and insist that every character’s last name is Goku. (“The names Trunks. Trunks Goku.” Et cetera.) Get in the chat and implore me to stop!

Snipperclips developer Tom Vian joins me (Tim Rogers) and Getting Over It’s Bennett Foddy in the Kotaku Goblin Bunker to stream Snipperclips, a game that I love an extreme amount. If you’re as excited as I am, prove it with lots of capital letters in the chat

After a long hiatus, during which Jason Schreier acquired a child and I (Tim Rogers) went to Japan to translate 88,000 words’ worth of a full, ancient, shockingly bizarre Japanese role-playing game, we’re back playing Chrono Trigger on our Twitch channel. Join us for a leisurely steam in which I may or may not teach Jason…

I’m playing Donkey Kong Country over on our Twitch channel. The game’s 25th anniversary was a couple days ago! In memory of the long-ago Thanksgiving Day on which I played through this whole game, I waited until today to stream it. Get Funky in the chat!

Happy Pokémon Sword & Shield day! Now that a Pokémon version named after a pointy object exists, does that mean we can finally poke the monsters? (No.) Find out today, when Gita Jackson and me play over on Kotaku’s Twitch channel! I’m gonna catch her a Farfetch’d and she’s gonna catch me a Ponyta. It’s…

Happy Death Stranding Day! Many critics (including myself) mentioned QWOP and Getting Over It in their reviews. I felt the need to go one step further, and invite Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy’s own Bennett Foddy into the Kotaku Goblin Bunker to play the game. I will give him an objective, and no instructions…

Hello! I (Tim Rogers) am going to stream the PlayStation 4 remake of the PlayStation 1 classic MediEvil over on our Twitch channel. I haven’t touched this game since blasting through it on Thanksgiving Day, 1998, though I sure do have some “interesting” memories. Like, why did I play this on Thanksgiving 1998 instead of…

Let’s Remember Final Fantasy VI, 25 Years Later

Final Fantasy VI was first released in North America (as Final Fantasy III) 25 years and two days ago, on October 11th, 1994. On Friday, I streamed the game for two hours—after reminiscing on my teenaged hype for the game for half an hour with the visual aide of some scans of the October 1994…

Today marks the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy VI’s release in North America (as Final Fantasy III). Let’s play it (a little) and reminisce (a lot) over on our Twitch channel!

I (Tim Rogers) am going to play John Wick Hex with its designer-director Mike Bithell on our Twitch channel starting at 3pm (Eastern). I’ll be asking him increasingly idiotic questions while he plays the game on its hardest possible setting. Heckle him in the chat. The game is out today, by the way. (If you haven’t…

I’m playing Destiny 2 over on Kotaku’s Twitch channel! I’m going to start a new character so I can experience the game’s new on-ramping. Then we’ll get into the Shadowkeep campaign. I just don’t know what I’m gonna do with all of these shadows!

Code Vein is out today. I’m going to be honest. I don’t even know what it is. I’m gonna play it on our Twitch channel, though. As long as it’s something like Dark Souls, I should do just fine. And of course it’s gonna be like Dark Souls, because every video game is exactly like…

We’re playing the Gears 5 campaign over on our Twitch channel. Will our loud guns triumph over the reptilian linebackers infesting the core of the destroyed-beautiful planet Sera? Repeatedly implore us to REVIVE you in the chat!

We (Tim Rogers & Jason Schreier) are playing Final Fantasy VIII Remastered on the Nintendo Switch over on Kotaku’s Twitch channel. In direct contrast to our glacial Chrono Trigger playthrough, we’re starting in medias res and playing super-fast. Come on over and hang out.

Final Fantasy VIII Remastered Is The Best Way Ever To Play Final Fantasy VIII

After years of its suspicious absence from Square Enix’s unstoppable barrage of ports and re-releases, Final Fantasy VIII has emerged remastered for all consoles (and PC). This is the best version of the game that has ever existed. Watch me play it for 47 minutes, while discussing 20 years’ worth of crystallized thoughts about the…

I (Tim Rogers) am streaming Astral Chain over on our Twitch channel! Let’s get wild with these hot cops and their demon dogpeople! Yell at me and crime, in the chat!

Jason Schreier and I (Tim Rogers) are continuing our glacial spiral into the Japanese wall of text that is Chrono Trigger. Sound out every syllable alongside us in the chat! I’ll learn you all some Japanese, yet!

Control Proves That An Office Building Is The Perfect Setting For A Metroid-Like

Control, a Metroid Prime-like game that takes place inside an impossibly vast US federal government building, is out today. As someone who has been paying the IRS back taxes for a decade, it feels like a game that was made to terrify exactly me. It is also one of the best games I’ve played this…

Just like last week, this week I (Tim Rogers) am teaching Jason Schreier (and you!) Japanese over on our Twitch channel. My teaching method involves forcing him to read every text box out loud. You, too, can do something out loud—in our chat!

Riley and Tim (that’s me!) are playing RAD, a new game that resembles the old game Rogue. It’s by Double Fine! Will we like it just fine, or will we like it twice as much as fine? Or will we Rogue-like it? It’ll probably have jokes like that in it. Please put your best Dad…
