Steel Battalion, for those who have never seen its wonder, was an old Xbox game from Capcom that’s famous for the absurdly large and expensive controller it shipped with. Something reader Dave obviously felt wasn’t absurdly large enough. So he went and built this, the B.S.B.B. (Big Steel Battalion Box) Mk II. It is, at…
Track: Closure | Album: Lustmore | Artist: Lapalux Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
For such a huge series, you don’t see as much Five Nights At Freddy’s cosplay as you’d expect. But that’s OK. It gives us more space to appreciate the good stuff like this! These shots were taken at Sakura Con by The Will Box The cosplayers are: Freddy Fazbear – LACA Puppet – After Market…
Igor Artyomenko is a freelance artist from Kazakhstan. We actually featuredhis DOTA 2 fan art a few months back, but I figured his art is so cool it deserved a proper showcase. The pieces here that look like they’re from The Banner Saga aren’t actually from The Banner Saga, they’re just fan art. But boy,…
Most cosplay coverage focuses only on the finished product, so sometimes it pays to dial the clock back and see how outfits are actually made. This great timelapse video by Robyn Murphy shows how she starts with fabric and a sewing machine and ends up with two incredible superhero costumes.
Considering he was one of the best characters in the 90s, it was sad to see Gambit almost entirely forgotten by the 2000’s X-Men movies. Ah well. Where Hollywood failed us, cosplay steps in. Cosplay by Michael Huffman, photo by York in a Box
Over the weekend, the NorCal Regionals of Capcom’s Street Fighter 4 Pro Tour ran into a problem: the tournament was accidentally using the wrong version of the game. As The Daily Dotreports, it wasn’t until a bunch of rounds had already been decided that two players noticed the game they were using was the wrong…
I’m loving the attention to detail here. Not just on the costume itself, but the expression, the hair. He’s even gone to the trouble of meticulously arranging the tuck Cosplay by Leo Camacho, photo by York in a Box
Joerg Sprave, who has been making amazing rubber-band guns for years now, is to thank for this elastic take on TF2’s “Meet the Heavy”. It’s a motorized slingshot that can fire 2000 rounds per minute. And by rounds I mean marbles. You’d think a gun like this would be the highlight of the video, but…
You may be wondering, as you decide whether to watch the seventh Fast & The Furious film, whether it is either faster or more furious than its predecessors. Well, an exhaustive study by Bloomberg indicates that, yes, it is. On both counts. The very serious news organisation sat down with the flick (well, more impressively,…
Elysian Park, near Dodger Stadium in LA, isn’t just home to dry grass. There’s also, if you’re willing to equip a map (or…go for a walk) a classic arcade surprise lurking in the trees, courtesy of a local artist. Calder Greenwood has snuck out and placed four life-size mannequins (made of paper mache, no less)…
Anders Christian “Rullox” Johannsen, a veteran Counter-Strike player from Denmark, is lucky to be alive today after having his throat cut. Jesus. Ekstra Bladet (via Daily Dot) report that Johannsen —a former member of Viborg Vipers, but no longer a top-level player today— was attacked when he tried to intervene in an argument between a…
Galactic Battles is a short film that laughs at the idea of a mere cameo. It’s also a copyright lawyer’s worst nightmare. Or dream day on the job, depending on who they’re working for. In case that gif—which crams Halo, Star Wars and Star Trek into around two seconds of footage—doesn’t make it clear, Galactic…
Ah, April 1. It’s a day where loads of things on the internet will make you groan, cry and smack your face to your palm. Other things, though, might actually give you a chuckle. Let’s take a look at some of the best (and worst) of these extremes. Now that the day is done, let’s…
The last Fire Emblem—which was amazing—was available in a single version. The next one, Fire Emblem if, is available in four (at least in Japan), and it’s both hilarious and horrifying to see it all written down in the one place. Bear with me here. And note that everything I’m about to show you has…
Eve Ventrue is a concept artist from Germany who has worked for games companies like Applibot and film effects teams like Aaron Sims. A lot of the art I post here is the kind of stuff ‘d love to use as desktop wallpaper, or something to put on a print and hang near my PC.…
We still don’t know if Bravely Second—the sequel to Bravely Default—is even coming out in the West, let alone whether it’s coming this year. Sadness. But hey, at least there’s this new trailer for the game. Which might actually make you sadder, so…sorry? Bravely Second is out in Japan next month. The first one was…
If you missed it, there was a Nintendo Direct held earlier tonight. There was nothing amazing in it, though fans of Smash Bros., Amiibo, Mario Kart and Fire Emblem were well looked after. For those who weren’t around, or just want to catch up, here’s the American one: And here’s the Japanese one, which runs…
The game, for the Wii U, is called Illusory Revelations #FE. It’s set in modern-day Tokyo. Holy shit. It’ll be out in Japan this holiday. The game was actually announced brieflyaround two years ago, but then went quiet. This trailer is not quiet. If you’re wondering why some of the comments below are so…excited, it’s…
A new Nintendo Direct means new Amiibo! There’s a whole new range of figures coming out over the next few months, including Ganon, Captain Olimar, Zero Suit Samus, Jigglypuff, Greninja and Dr. Mario. Interestingly, the two different Nintendo Directs (one for North America, one for Japan) had slightly different release dates (and figures). Nintendo also…
