Look At This Enormous LEGO Star Destroyer

OliveSeon, a team of Korean LEGO builders, have designed and constructed one of the most impressive Star Wars creations I have ever seen. Via Brothers Brick, their Imperial-class Star Destroyer has some frightening specs. It used around 42,000 bricks, took approximately 1000 hours to build, is 2.2m/7′3″ long and weighs 50kg/110lbs. Most impressive, though, is…

How Sega Made Pixel Art In The 80s & 90s

In a 21st century world of free software, powerful computers, tablets and mice, making pixel art is fairly easy! In the 1980s, though, your favourite games had to be made on expensive and highly specialised equipment. Video Games Densetsu have gone through some old Japanese magazines and put together a collection of interviews and images…

Awesome Photos From Sri Lanka’s Comic Con

Sri Lanka had only its second ever Comic Con on the weekend, and it looked like a blast. While the cosplay community there may not be as well-established as it is elsewhere, there was still some quality cosplay on show! Even Harambe turned up (if you’ve seen a pic of this outfit floating around on…

Guy’s Mom Tries To Describe Overwatch Characters Without Knowing Overwatch

The “parents don’t know but they’ll talk about it anyway” gag is not a new one, but it remains a sweet one when the parents do a good job (and aren’t treated like idiots by exploitative kids). Like Karhall’s mom here, who was asked to talk about Overwatch characters without knowing who the hell they…

ToeJam and Earl are coming back next year on PC and console. Here’s a trailer.

The Best Video Game Control Pads

There have been many different ways of playing video games on a console (and sometimes PC) over the years. Some have been better than others. How do you figure that out? For starters, I think you need to distance them from the console they were part of. The PlayStation’s original controller was not as sexy…

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided isn’t the first game to take this approach (it’s not even the first Deus Ex game to do so), but it certainly puts it in the best terms. If your game has a story, this is 100% the right way to let people go about it.

Can’t believe it’s taken this long to see some Barb cosplay. Maybe everyone had to wait until the next time they were at their Nan’s place to steal her glasses. Cosplay by SailorsMouth

Nice Borderlands Cosplay

This is Russia’s SoranoSuzu with some awesome Borderlands 2 cosplay.

Even Dark Souls Cosplay Is Hard

This is Russian cosplayer niamash(whose Witcher work we’ve featured before) as Dark Souls 3’s Fire Keeper. You don’t see much Dark Souls cosplay, I’m guessing because the character design is so crazy that replicating many of the costumes would be so hard/expensive that it puts most cosplayers off. Not in this case. Photos by Eva

Louisiana Floods Delay Game Release

Not every game delay is down to release scheduling or technical mishaps. Sometimes, an Act of God is to blame. Road Redemption, a homage to 16-bit classic Road Rash that’s currently in Early Access on the PC, was due to be marking its final release next month. But the floods currently ravaging Louisiana—leaving tens of…

Just Another Day Killing The Gods Of Ancient Greece

We first played an early build of Okhlos all the way back in January 2014. It’s now out, and I’ve been playing the finished article. Chris’ original headline pretty much nailed it. It’s Pikmin, but with ancient Greeks. You control a single philosopher—Themistocles, for example, because that’s such a tremendous name to say aloud—as you…

Slim PS4 Apparently Unboxed Before Sony Can Even Announce It

On September 7, Sony is expected to announce two new models of the PlayStation 4. They should only bother announcing one, because the Slim looks like it’s already well and truly out there Having apparently turned up on an auction site over the weekend, British YouTuber ZRZhas now seemingly got his hands on an entire…

Track: One Nine | Artist: Black Cobra | Album: Bestial Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.

Welcome To The 21st Century, Evie Frye
