Why Can’t I Buy Skyrim LEGO Yet

Serious question. I mean, this recreation of Half-Moon Mill is something I should be able to click on and have in my house, not simply admire from afar. Then again, an actual LEGO set would skimp on the lush fully-modelled terrain. It was built by Pieter Dennison, and you can see more of his work…

Cosplaying Inside Fallout’s Vaults

Cosplayer Amiko-chan decided to actually stay underground for this Fallout shot. And why not? Let everyone else go above ground and fry and be eaten and shot in the face. There are lunchboxes and working TV sets in the vaults. Photos by Dzeta&Aiger.

$1,000 Bounty Offered For Mario 64 Glitch

Mario fan and glitch hunter extraordinaire Pannenkoek2012 has a contract for you, Witcher: if you can recreate and record a weird hiccup he recently saw on Twitch, he’ll give you $1000. Streamer DOTA_TeaBag caught the glitch, seemingly by accident, in a video taken during a run of Super Mario 64’s Tick Tock Clock stage. As…

Man Simulates Same Game For 1,000 Years, Tears Hole In Time, Space

Football Manager, a time-consuming game about running a football team, is very hands-on. It does, however, have a mode that lets you simulate seasons in case you want to skip a few. This is the tale of Lorf_Yimzo, who skipped a lot more than a few. Using Football Manager 15, he set the game on…

The City Of The Future

Derek Weselake is a freelance concept artist and illustrator who works in both the video game and film industries. One of his specialiteis is environment design, and I particulalry dig his takes on a future city: it’s nice seeing something that sits a little more realistically between the two stereotypes of “grimy cyberpunk” and “glistening…

That’s Not How You Land In GTA V

Poor MrRedSkull167. All he wanted to do was land his fancy fighter jet. Instead, let this be a reminder: some days in GTA Online, nothing goes according to plan.

Bruce Lee Action Figure Wants To Kick Your Eyes Out

As we’ve established, when it comes to small-scale figures, Figmas are the best. Especially when they leave fictional series behind and recreate actual historical badasses like Bruce Lee. Being a Figma, it’s not going to be cheap; expect to pay around $50 for it when released in November. But whatever, looks totally worth it, if…

Over 60 Civs Going To War In Crazy Civilization V Game

Earlier this year, there was a giant, 42-player, AI-only game of Civilization V going down. Wonder why we never heard anything more about it? Because it died. But that’s OK. Now the same guy is going to run a game with over 60 players. TPangolin, the organiser of the original Battle Royale, thinks he’s fixed…

Destiny Cosplayer Grinds Endlessly To Create Perfect Outfit

Imagine if cosplay was more like Destiny. You find just the right fabric, walk to the cashier, pay your money…and open the bag to find a packet of nails. Lucky it’s not, then, and Italian cosplayer Fred Props was able to actually make the stuff he wanted for this amazing Hunter outfit. You should check…

Track: God is War | Artist: All Pigs Must Die | Album: God is War Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.

Halo: The Tiny Chief Collection

Back in 2012, we featured the art of Michael Pedro, who had worked on Halo 4. In the three years since, he’s been busy. Having then moved onto the Master Chief Collection, he’s got way more art to show off, both from Halo and other stuff. You can see more of Pedro’s work at his…

Endless Legend, Dungeon Of The Endless Guys Show Off Next Game

Amplitude, the team behind two of our favourite games of last year—Endless Legend and Dungeon of the Endless—announced a new game over the weekend. It’s a sequel to another of their Endless games, Endless Space. Endless Endless Endless. Endless. I’m excited! The first Endless Space was OK, hinting at some of Amplitude’s future strengths (like…

Metal Gear: The Cartoon Series? Would Watch.

If Assassin’s Creed works as a cartoon, then Metal Gear can too. Each episode would probably run for 127 hours, 126 of which was verbose political dialogue, but fans wouldn’t have it any other way. These pics, by msynowicz(via Super Punch), may not be as anime as some would hope for, but I’m digging the…

French Companies Want To Build An Arcology (Yes, Like SimCity)

As we’ve talked about before, arcologies aren’t just wacky buildings from the future of a video game. They’re an actual architectural concept, one that a couple of French companies are interested in reviving. As our buds at io9and Fast Co. report, Nicholas Laisné Associés and OXO Architects have drawn up plans for La Ville Tour…

When Real Life Starts Looking Like Skyrim

We’ve all been there. You pick up your keys, pick up your jacket, grab your bag and suddenly you’re over-encumbered. jaysonghas gone and illustrated this obsession, turning a “late for work” dash, a run for tacos and a grumpy cat into some Skyrim quests, complete with armour, supplies, weapons, skills, monsters and a terrifying dungeon.…

Electronic duo USF have a new album out, and along with the album itself, have made a little interactive game thing (that changes as the music plays) you can play while you listen.It’s pretty cool! The game wasdesigned by Daniel Miller

Your Expensive Bloodborne Merch Is Here

Due out in December, this Hunter statue from Gecco is 1/6 scale (around 32cm) and is going to cost around $300. If you can wait until February, though, there’ll be this “puddle of blood” variant (it’ll be the same price).

Well, That’s One Way To Fight A War

Ignacio Fernández Ríos is a concept artist from Spain who has worked on games like Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Clive Barker’s Jericho You can see more of Ignacio’s work at his personal site and ArtStation page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save…

Terrific Ciri Cosplay Brings The Witcher 3 To Life

Is it too late to make this the International Week Of Witcher Cosplay? Because only a day after that awesome Yenn comes an equally impressive Ciri. Not only is the cosplay job and photography outstanding, but they went the extra mile to really nail the location, heading out deep into the woods in Washington to…

Far Cry 4’s World Is Fire And Blood With Mad Max Maps

Far Cry 4 has a very cool map editor. Mad Max is a very cool movie. Both feature shitty old cars. You know where this is going. This custom Future Dead Australia map for the game isn’t some elaborate mod; it’s just a map, so you can download it (these vids are from PS4), take…
