In the late 90s, Canadian company TranDirect Holding had an idea: what if you could connect a Super Nintendo to a phone line, and use it to do your banking on? And what if instead of using a regular SNES controller, you used a sweet custom BANKING CONTROLLER. Look at that thing! It’s like a…
Oh look, people made funnythings in Beseige. Haha, look, there are dicksin Beseige. If you haven’t actually played the game, all you’d think about Besiege — one of the hottest games on Steam right now — based on what people are posting on the internet is that it’s a joke game. It’s actually anything but.…

Remember, not every “fantasy” world has to have knights and castles. Aurion, legacy of the Kori-Odan is a new game from a developer based in Cameroon that explores “a wonderful African Fantasy world”. That’s the kind of setting I’ll admit I haven’t played much of; the last I can remember off the top of my…
Angela Bermudez made sure this cosplay of Metal Gear’s Quiet wasn’t as straight-up as others, thanks to some amazing body paint work. Body paint by Sagot, photos by rocha86
Track: E| Artist: tricot | Album: 『E』 Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
SimCity was a disaster. Cities XXL is a scam. But there is still hope, fans of building cities on your personal computer: there is still Cities: Skylines. Due next month on PC (and Mac, and Linux), this trailer is showing features and little touches (overpasses!) that are making my urban planning glands pulse with excitement.…
According to reports on social media (via The AV Club) from people in the audience at the taping of his latest episode, Jon Stewart has announced he’ll be leaving The Daily Show. UPDATE: Comedy Central has since confirmed the news. He’ll be stepping down “later this year”. Stewart has been hosting the show since 1999,…
Vice City was a time machine powered chiefly by its incredible sountrack
Ever wonder why Spider-Man hasn’t at least made token appearances in the big Marvel movies like The Avengers? That’s because Sony Pictures, not Disney, hold the movie rights to the web-slinger. But they’ve just signed a deal with Marvel that will mean Spider-Man can finally appear alongside the likes of Thor and Captain America. The…

We’ve writtenabout Oakland’s awesome Hoodslam indie wrestling events before (they’re often full of video game tributes), but Al Jazeera have gone and filmed a mini-documentary about them. It’s great.
Oh look. Boston Dynamics — of future robot apocalypse fame — have made another mechanical dog. And this one can go inside houses. Great. The first time I saw the above gif (via Super Punch), I laughed, not at the “animal cruelty”, but mostly because I could imagine this guy’s business card actually saying “robot…
Warning: do not actually try these. Actually, warning: do nottry pick-up lines, ever. Feel free, however, to try them out on your fellow Civ fanatics, who you might actually get a chuckle out of. Or me, if you want to see a grown man get weak in the knees at the mention of Mehal sefari,…
A forum post called “Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends Players” sounds like the worst thing you could click on all week, but hey, turns out it’s actually a very practical guide for parents, to help them stop making their kids look like assholes. It’s all about parents yanking kids out of League…
If you’ve ever even thought about leaving a comment underneath a cosplay story/image on the internet, listen to this man first.
Rockstar always tries to sell its Grand Theft Auto games with fancy trailers. Moody music, social commentary, beautiful sunsets. The thing is, that’s not how anybody actually plays Grand Theft Auto. They usually play it like this. With lots of car crashes. And senseless violence. And…axes to the butt? This fantastic video was put together…
The general consensus on Jupiter Ascending seems to be this: terrible movie, but it’s very pretty to look at. Which is good for us, because this is a gallery of concept art for the movie. The art you’re about to see was done by Justin Fields, who has worked in both film and games over…
