Sony’s last firmware update for the PS4 was kinda broken. Here’s hoping the next one, v2.01 (just announced) will do the trick.

Just Chillin’

Piotr Jabłoński is a freelance artist from Poland, whose work looks like it came straight out my dreams for what the next line of threeA figures should look like. You can see more of Piotr’s stuff at his Behance site and ArtStation page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re…

Pokémon Keyboard Won’t Catch All Your Typos

You might think this Pokemon keyboard design, which swaps out the letters with tiny pictures of Pokemon, is the least practical keyboard ever made. But hey, look at that: the name of every Pokemon used corresponds with the letters they’re replacing. So if you know your Pokemon, you’ll be just fine. It’s the work ofIngrid…

Call Of Duty’s Nigeria Has More Worries Than Bullets

Call of Duty gets a lot of stick – some of it deserved – for being “stupid”, but here’s a neat little touch I found in Advanced Warfare’s singleplayer campaign that’s worth a closer look. It’s early on, during the rescue mission in Lagos, and I originally took the snap because I was grabbing screenshots…

All The Single Mutants, All The Single Mutants

I like this Wolverine. Instead of getting all mopey about losing Jean, he’s out there enjoying the single life.

You Can Now Buy Those Buried ET, Atari Games

What, you thoughtthey’d all end up in a museum somewhere? Nope, they’re ending up on eBay. Seller tbhs575 has their hands on a number of the crushed, long-buried games, and among the stash are not just copies of ET, but also of Asteroids, Missile Command, Defender and Warlords. Some are already going for hundreds of…

My Boy, A Zelda Christmas Is A Merry Christmas

The Christmas sweater is an artform. One that has just been pretty much perfected. Well, I guess you could argue against this technically, since this is just a screenprint on a regular sweater, and not an actual knitted jersey, but whatever. The pic wins where the fabric falls short. X-MAS, MAH BOY![theyetee]

What A Japanese Assassin’s Creed Could Look Like

Vin Hill is an artist just starting out in the video game business. He is also a man with a very clear idea of what a Japanese Assassin’s Creed could look like. Sure, we’ve got a Chinese game coming (albeit a spinoff), but Vin’s ideas here are for a full game set in Kyoto during…

An Unexpected Nintendo Game Is Headed To Arcades

Nintendo has a long(like, real long) history with arcade gaming, a tradition that’s continued into recent times with stuff like F-Zero and Mario Kart. But those are two games you would expect to see in an arcade. Nintendo’s latest arcade title, Luigi’s Mansion, is not. Yup. Luigi’s Mansion. Nintendo has handed the GameCube and 3DS…

The World’s Best Avengers Cosplay Only Includes One Human

Because someone needs to be in charge. Cosplayers are Omelette, Bebop, Barley, Twinkie & Lucy. Oh, and Omelette’s mum. Omelette the Corgi [Blog] The Corgi Avengers: There Should Be No Leashes on Us! [GaS]

League of Legends Player Retires, Now Makes $800k A Year…Streaming

Just like pro sports such as football, where athletes have little trouble landing themselves lucrative jobs in broadcasting when they retire, some esports competitors finding that life gets easier (and the money gets better) once they hang up their mouse and keyboard. While this is obviously an extreme case, one taking place in a market…

Unaired TV Show Is The Most 90s Thing Imaginable

Remember Nick Arcade? This is the show’s unaired pilot episode, filmed in 1991 and featuring a host that wasn’t Phil Moore. What it does feature, though, are some amazing haircuts, as well as one of the first public showings of a game called Sonic The Hedgehog. It’s pretty easy to see why host Neil Sherman,…

Kid Dresses As Jawa, Steals Hearts, Not Droids

You know a costume is awesome when it lets you forgive someone for taking a video in portrait mode. Chris Hirano made this outfit for his daughter for Halloween, and in addition to looking great it also had some neat effects like a soundboard so she could shuffle around making authentic jawa noises. Whether she…

Camo Xbox One Is Sadly Not For Sale

This special Xbox One / A Bathing Ape console, which I like very much, will sadly never be sold to the public. It was a piece of swag, used only as a “promotional gift” for an event in Hong Kongearlier this month. I mean, I guess it might turn up on eBay, but given the…

Track: Say My Name (feat. Zyra) | Artist: ODESZA | Album: In Return Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.

A Regal Griffin

Mikhail Rakhmatullin is a Russian freelancer whose work has single-handedly brightened up my day. Those animals and their brushy texture reminds me of DOTA 2 characters, only I dunno, friendlier? You can see more of Mikhail’s workat his Artstation page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so…

Well, That’s One Way To Fix The Xbox One’s Backwards Compatibility

It still irritates me that the Xbox One isn’t backwards-compatible. From Red Dead to GTA V, there are old games I still own and still want to play, but because I don’t have an Xbox 360 anymore (one died and I traded the other in for the XB1), they just…sit there. It’d be OK if…

New City-Building Game Combines Two Of My Favorite Things​

Concrete Jungle is a game where you build a city. But not like you would in SimCity. You construct cities in Concrete Jungle by building a deck, like a card game. How did nobody think of this until now? It all sounds so easy. You get some cards, and each card has a building on…

Krang Cosplay Is Perfect, Wins Halloween

From head-to-toe, the only way this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cosplay could have been any more authentic is if guimancreativehad stacked on 30 pounds. What I love is that it’s not just an amazing costume (and example of props work, given the fact Krang himself lights up), it’s brave. If I was going to cosplay…
