On Saturday, Darwyn Cooke passed away at the age of 53. He was one of my favourite comic book artists (and writers). You may have already heard the news, you may have no idea who he is. It was certainly a shock to hear, given we’d only heard about his battle with lung cancer on…
Track: Electric Blue | Artist: Icehouse | Album: Man Of Colours Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.

John Ramirez, whose actual job it is to design rides for Disney, had an idea for a Totoro experience. He now also has one for a Castle in the Sky/Laputa ride, too. It’s great. Perfect. The carriage, the sections of the movie you visit, the multiple appearances of the robots, it’s all the best. As…
Last week, the Facebook account of the Santa Fe Comic Con thought it was doing the right thing by promoting local cosplay at the expense of more famous out-of-town talent. Emphasis on thought. The communications meltdown that actually took place ended up a public relations shitstorm. Note: The convention deleted most of its Facebook comments…

This is Maul, from Defcon Unlimited, a cosplay/stunt team from Europe. You might remember Maul from last year, when he didn’t just cosplay as Snake, but had to go get a real wolf Defcon’s latest effort is this Geralt ensemble, which took ages to put together. I’ve included detail shots of the suit because just…
Snow Corporation is a British artist who, inspired by stuff like Sideshow’s efforts, builds and modifies custom action figures. Star Wars, Warhammer, Marvel, commissions, he’s done it all, and they are all incredible Note this is different to the VTS figures we showed last week; those are commercial bootlegs, while these are either for commission…
Tanks aren’t just in GTA V for shooting stuff and evading cops. There’s so much scope to do more with their heavy, swinging bodies. Like slapstick murder. AwesomeAlvin’s video here covers a lot of GTA V escapades (some of it a bit much), but it’s any part with a tank that’s the highlight.

Have you ever seen Might & Magic Heroes VII cosplay? I don’t think I have. I don’t think I’ll ever need to again after this, either. Germiaknocks it out of sight here, with everything from the armour to the shading being absolutely perfect
I just installed Doom on my PC. So let’s take a look at the first few minutes of id’s new/old shooter. This is the intro and opening firefights of the game. There is shooting, there is a shotgun, there are lots of these melee attacks where you rip limbs off demons and slap them in…
Hellion is a sandbox survival game. Only instead of being set on an island or a city, it’s set in the depths of space. It’s still very early days (the video below is pre-alpha), but I like what I’m seeing so far. Players have full access to their ships and stations, meaning you can get…
As if there weren’t enough strategy games to get excited about in 2016, along comes Hearts of Iron IV with its bombers and little men and menus
Inspired by some fan art, Michael Hibbison from Entelechy Props has cosplayed as Guy Fieri. If the TV “chef” was a radioactive ghoul from Fallout 4. You know. Ghoul Fieri There’s a long story behind it, which tells a tale of fan art, friendship, book signings (where Fieri actually signed a copy of the art)…
Tired of surfing in Counter-Strike as an optional extra, Rory McHenry is working on building his own standalone surfing experience using Unreal Engine 4. Here’s his first proof of concept video: And here’s a newer design, with a bit more polish in the physics. Yeah, being Unreal Engine 4 and not Source means it’s not…

Reader Khris likes Pokémon. He also likes Gundam. Here are three model kits that combine both of those things to excellent effect. If you’re a serious Gundam/model fan and want to see how he made them, there’s a work-in-progress gallery here
Most big video games these days are the result of a team of dozens, if not hundreds of people working on them. Amidst all that collaboration, what can one, single human being point to and say “this, this is mine, I made this?” In Allen Chou’s case, it’s this Chou worked on the game’s AI,…
