Melodic Duty: check out this awesome ‘gun sync‘ by Ash100HD performed in Call of Duty: Ghosts. It took nine hours to make, but the gun sound effects almost feel like they’re a part of the original song, right?

Microsoft Trumps Sony’s PS4 Apartment With An Xbox One Hotel

Sure, you could stay at a normal hotel while you’re in France. Or…you could stay at the Xbox One hotel—because that’s a thing now. Open in Paris for the month of November, the Xbox One hotel is a response of sorts to the “Apartment 4” launched by Sony last month to showcase the PlayStation 4…

Using Pokémon To Teach Safe Sex Is Super Effective

Colleges that provide easily-accessible free safe sex supplies are already rad, but it certainly doesn’t to do something a little more playful than ‘here are a bunch of baskets with condoms, dental dams and other fun stuff,’ too. Case in point: the mysterious college that Redditor ParadeOfTigers attends, which uses Pokémon references to promote safe…

Forget Cars. Let’s Race Dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs make everything better—and racing games are no exception. Dino Run 2 is a multiplayer game where you have to outrun extinction—a rather novel premise, no? I don’t even particularly like racing games, but this has my attention. Naturally, you get to play as all sorts of different dinosaurs, each with strengths and weaknesses. These…

Call of Rupees: check out this unexpected Zelda easter egg in Call of Duty: Ghosts…if you’re squinting, the award is for ‘most bushes cut and pots smashed.’ And the award to the left? It might just be a TARDIS… (via r/Zelda)

YouTube’s Comments Might Now Be Less Awful

The fight to make the Internet a better place never ends, but today we can count one more victory on our side: now, not only can you moderate YouTube comments better, but the way comments appear is now also different. I mean, it’s not like you necessarily care about some rando’s opinion, right? Or the…

Behold, Internet Explorer As A Magical Girl Anime

We’ve seen popular websites as anime characters before, but that was fan-art. All made up. This magical girl version Internet Explorer? She’s official. Really. That video comes from the folks at Internet Explorer. Why is Internet Explorer personified as a cute anime girl? Well, turns out there’s a new version of Internet Explorer. She’s called…

Crytek Dev Calls Dinner Tweet ‘Boneheaded,’ Praises Work Conditions

After a couple of weeks of silence, we’re finally hearing from people who worked at Crytek, the game development studio where more than 11,500 dinners were proudly served to “crunching” developers. Two people on the game are saying that Crytek is a pretty good place to work, despite a recent controversial Tweet about those dinners…

Square Enix Game Improved With Silly Real Faces

We told you about the facial mapping tech in Square Enix’s vampire hunting game, Bloodmasque, back in July, but it wasn’t until today that we truly got to see how ridiculous the game can get if you use the feature in the right way. By ‘the right way’ I mean ‘uploading yourself making faces that…

A German Shepard Steals The Show In The New Call of Duty

Sure, Call of Duty: Ghosts could sometimes feel kind of eh, but it wasn’t all bad. In fact, the levels where you got to hang out with Riley the dog, if not play as Riley, are excellent. Hell. Riley straight up stole the show. I mean, look at the bugger. He’s charming. The first time…

Here’s Call of Duty: Ghosts Compared on PS3, 360 & PS4

Are you curious as to what Call of Duty looks like on current gen hardware versus next gen hardware? Here’s an IGN video that should help.

Whoa, Someone Built A Machine That Finds Shiny Pokémon For Them

Finding Pokémon in rare, shiny colors is a time consuming process. The average person probably won’t even attempt it. But what if there was a machine that found shiny Pokémon for you? Maybe that sounds ridiculous, but someone actually built such a thing. The video above shows the handiwork of dekuNukem, who built what they…

Call of Duty: Ghosts: The Kotaku Review

Three men huddle around a campfire, eager to hear the story of an elite force of highly-feared soldiers. Ghosts, they’re called. Two of the men listening—the sons, Logan and Hesh Walker—are skeptical. Surely the tale-spinning father doesn’t expect them to believe such an outlandish story? They’re skeptical, but we know the story is true, because…

Nobody Knows What The Deal Is With The Ghost Girl In Pokémon X & Y

Gather ’round the fire, boys and girls. Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story…the tale of the mysterious Pokemon ghost girl. Pokémon games are full of secret stuff, that much is true. But usually, the scary stuff is reserved for the fake ‘creepypasta’ stories you see floating around the web…

You Can Be Revived While Falling In Battlefield 4 (And Other Myths)

Can you imagine the ridiculous Battlefield moments arising from the fact that you can revive a falling player? Oh, nevermind that. What about the epic, heroic moments you’ll have when throwing yourself over an explosive to save your friends? This stuff and more is tested out in the latest Battlefield 4-themed mythbusting episode by DefendTheHouse—I’m…

News Station Thinks “The Cake Is A Lie” Joke Is Proof of the Paranormal

For anyone that’s played Portal, ‘the cake is a lie’ very well may be an old, tired joke. But that doesn’t mean everyone knows where the joke comes from, judging from some this footage of a recent Oklahoma newscast. The clip above is of KJRH’s coverage of Sooner Paranormal of Oklahoma, a group dedicated to…

A Game Where You Are The Terrifying Alien That Soldiers Want To Kill

I’ve killed a lot of aliens in my time. You probably have, too. It’s not often that we get to be the mysterious extraterrestrial that all the humans are terrified of, though. Paradise Lost: First Contact is a game where you get to play as an alien plant thing that comes to Earth via a…

Zombie Game Creator Defends Allowing Players To Kill Undead Children

If you see a kid in a game, chances are it’s one of the few things that is magically immortal—and the reason why is probably obvious. Child murder in games controversial…but that doesn’t mean all developers consider it off-limits. Granted, in this case, we’re not just talking about any children—we’re talking about zombie children. No…

Every Generation of X-Men, In One Massive Picture

The X-Men have been around for a long while now—long enough that there have been dozens and dozens of mutants included in Marvel’s beloved franchise. In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the X-Men, artist Leigh Wortley made an infographic for We Love Fine featuring all the generations of X-Men since the franchise’s inception.…

Cosplayers Relaxing At Home

We typically only see cosplayers when they’re dressed up at events like conventions—but they have lives outside of that, y’know. Homes. Sure, normally we’d never get to see a cosplayer’s pad, but thanks to a photography project called ‘Just The Two of Us’ by Klaus Pichler,we can. “For this photo series I visited owners of…
