The fifth season of Mad Men has concluded, and now we must all sit in silence, have long conversations about symbolism… and wait for a depressingly long time for the next season to begin. Why can’t they just make a video game version of the show? Our own Patricia Hernandez was asking this same question…
There’s been a lot of controversy lately surrounding Anita Sarkeesian’s crowdfunded documentary Tropes vs. Women in Games. Sarkeesian’s now-funded project will be a multi-part series dedicated to taking a closer look at the many problematic tropes that video games use while depicting female characters. Most of the controversy has been due to the fact that…
With a name like LifeQuest, you might expect some sort of sweeping life-simulation. Perhaps a miniature saga like the board game of Life, wherein you pick a career, overcome hardships, build a family and ease into retirement. But while you do most of those things in the iPad game LifeQuest, you’re really only doing them…
Look at this little guy, matching notes like a pro! How does he do it? Well… okay, so maybe he’s just trained to follow his owner’s visual cues and hit the right keys. Regardless, I’m going to pretend this is real, because ignorance is bliss. And my god, I want this to be real. Also,…
Well, this is pretty cool. Duncan Harris, the man who runs the eye-popping website Dead End Thrills (and whose work you’ll see from time to time right here at Kotaku), has been working with Bethesda to create in-game photography from their upcoming game Dishonored In what feels like an uncommon move for a publisher, Harris…

Skyrim‘s vast, lush world is a wonderful thing made all the more remarkable by the fact that it continues to grow and expand, constantly changing in unexpected ways. This is not only due to the downloadable content that Bethesda has planned for the game (the first one, Dawnguard, looks pretty terrific). Skyrim keeps growing because…

Just yesterday, the long-out-of-stock card game Cards Against Humanity came became available at Amazon. I had been waiting to order the game ever since I first played it at a party about a month ago, so I jumped on the opportunity. What do you know, my deck of cards arrived today! So, I thought I’d…
It had to happen eventually, and now it has. Among the many new Xbox Live avatar costumes that Bethesda released today is one that takes the meme to end all memes to its logical conclusion. Yes, for a mere 240 Microsoft points, your avatar can injure him or herself in the best, most Skyrimmy way…
According to Bethesda’s developer twitter feed, the beta invites for Skyrim‘s impressive-looking expansion Dawnguard, which is exclusive to the Xbox 360 for the time being, have gone out.

Don’t you? Man, we would talk about the most interesting things, she would read excepts from my acclaimed book about jazz and video games, and I bet the food would be better than what I eat most days. In this video from a little while ago, Mike Birbiglia gets to live the dream, following the…
“This isn’t flying. This is falling with style.” Gravity is a pernicious reminder of our physical limits. It’s the thing that keeps us rooted to the ground, it pulls our bodies downwards, makes us slow, ages us. The dream of flight, then, is a rejection of that limitation—see me? I can fly, man. I’m free,…
I’m a big fan of the music of the Persona series. In fact, I like it so much that I’ll listen to it outside of the game. Here, Atlus’s Aram Jabbari walks us through the copious extras that P4 Golden will bundle in with the main game. I have to say, as a somewhat recently…
Diablo III has its share of annoyances—lost progress due to connection difficulties, the delayed auction house, hackers stealing your gear… but the most annoying of all may well be cheaters. In an update on the Diablo III blog ominously titled “Cheating in Diablo III”, Blizzard has drawn a line in the sand. They’re about to…
Surely you know about Cards Against Humanity, right? It’s the super-funny, twisted version of Apples to Apples that replaces A2A‘s commonplace nouns and adjectives with more current, offensive, and plain bizarre options. (See here, a card I had in a recent game that makes the kind of high-quality obscure reference that sets the game apart.)…
We’ve all been there, Ragequitting Baby. You’re playing a quick round of capture the flag online, and there’s this guy on the other team who just won’t. Stop. Killing you. And as he does so, he lets loose an unending stream of invective, racial slurs, and all manner of other disgusting language. He probably doesn’t…
Now, I know that Samantha gets turned on by most things. But all the same, this one’s pretty funny. In a departure for Nintendo’s usually family-friendly celebrity spokespeople, a new British ad for Super Mario 3D Land features Sex and the City‘s friskiest character talking about her predilection for men who play dress-up. “I go…
