If Game of Thrones Characters Had Dating Profiles

What might those profiles look like? Well, the folks over at Team Pwnicorn reckon they’d look a little like this. Funnily enough, not only do important characters like Daenerys and Jaime get profiles, but so do characters like Hodor and the wall. Yes, as in the wall that’s there to keep the white walkers out.…

Live Out Your Medic Fantasies By Performing Surgery on TF2’s Heavy

The medic might’ve lost his medical license, but that doesn’t mean he can’t lend his medical expertise out on the battlefield…or in this case, the surgery room. Previously limited to the Meet the Medic video, now we have a chance to poke around the Heavy’s internal organs in Surgeon Simulator 2013 thanks to an upcoming…

The World Needs A Cat Version of Street Fighter

Cats can be combative, albeit playful jerks—which makes them great choices for a fighting game, no? Well, if nothing else, this utterly silly (but fun!) rendition of a cat version of Street Fighter by ThePetCollective puts a smile on my face. Street Fighter Parody – Cat Fighter [The Pet Collective]

Nintendo President’s Animal Crossing House Is Decorated With His Face

What would you find in Reggie Fils-Aime’s bedroom? Well, we can’t tell you what’s in his real-life bedroom. His Animal Crossing bedroom, however, has bedsheets with his own face on them. Really! Not only that, but in this video tour, Reggie rolls around in those sheets. It’s pretty fantastic, if not a tad ridiculous. Like…

Indie Developer Pulls Out Of PAX, Citing Penny Arcade Controversies

The small studio behind the upcoming first-person exploration game Gone Homesay they’re pulling their game from the next big PAX show because of their rising discomfort with the show’s organizers. “This morning we stopped pushing those long-held reservations about [Penny Arcade founders] Jerry and Mike into the back of our minds.” writes Steve Gaynor, head…

Remember that awesome Peggle 2 announcement? Here’s the same announcement, only more extreme. We’re talking like, unicorns and explosions type of ridiculousness. And it’s official!

Pokemon #666 Better Be Something Awesome

Yes, yes, there’s a lot of Pokemon. At last count, we have 649 of them—with 19 more announced and probably even more to come as we come closer to Pokemon X & Y’s release. You know what that means, right? One lucky Pokemon gets to be number 666 in the national Pokedex. It’s inevitable. But…

Animal Crossing’s Creepy Nintendo Jerk Chambers

You can decorate your house however you’d like in Animal Crossing…which means that some people have made rooms in New Leaf that are rather creepy judging from these images compiled by Tiny Cartridge. Sure, it could just be overzealous devotion to Isabelle, Wii Fit trainer, Reggie, and Iwata. But notice the tissue box in every…

One Indie’s Troubles With Microsoft

The common, popular narrative is that companies like Microsoft are eeeeevil. All they want is money! Or something like that. Maybe it’s not so clear-cut? This quote in the image above comes from a piece on Rock Paper, Shotgun on Skulls of the Shogun. (Edit: the quote comes from Borut Pfeiffer, who works for Plush…

It’s Annoying To Explain You’re Not Making A Mobile or Social Game

Some devs like to keep it simple: no in-app purchases or microtransactions—hell, no app at all; no forcing you to rope your friends to play. Just, you know: player gives dev money, player gets entire game. That game is probably priced at more than 99 cents to boot. It’s an approach that may seem strange…

Show Us Your Animal Crossing: New Leaf House

They say you can tell a lot about a person based on how they decorate a room. And if you’re playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf, you’re gonna have a lot of rooms to decorate. Let’s share, shall we? Just as a quick reminder:this is how you go about easily uploading your New Leaf screenshots. So!…

Xbox One DRM Reversal Is Proof That Speaking Out Can Get Results

Complaining on the internet, I am often told, doesn’t amount to much of anything. Clicking “Like” or retweeting for a cause are nothing more than “Slacktivism,” a type of problem-solving that only lazy millennials could have come up with. Maybe that’s true of trying to solve problems in Africa; we might need to do a…

How To Easily Upload Your Animal Crossing: New Leaf Screenshots

Taking a screenshot in New Leaf is simple: press L and R at the same time. Boom. You’ve got a picture. Great! Getting those pictures off your 3DS, while simple, requires a few more steps. Nothing too complicated, though. The image above, which details the process, is from Nintendo’s website—you can find that here. Putting…

The Differences Between The Xbox One and PS4, As Far As We Know

The Xbox One and the PS4 aren’t the same type of system. That much is obvious. But now that Microsoft changed a number of its policies on the Xbox One, those differences have dwindled a bit. Let’s recap. The Xbox One releases sometime in November for $499, while the PS4 will cost $399 and will…

It’s Peter Molyneux…reviewing iPhone fart apps with Game Informer? I cant help but admire how calmly Molyneux speaks here—you’d think he’s describing wine, not farts.

MIT developed this program which allows users to interface with a 3D character that judges your body language—it’s called MACH and it’s meant to help you socialize better. Reminds me of project Milo a little bit—can you imagine having games where the characters can read your body language like this? It’s probably coming, judging from…

Goodbye, GameCube Controller. It’s Been Fun.

Like any Smash Bros. fan, I’ve taken in the news of a Wii U iteration with great joy. Look at the awesome new characters! No tripping? Hooray! It’ll find a sweet spot between casual and hardcore play? Excellent! And yet, there’s a tinge of melancholy about it all: the Wii U doesn’t have a GameCube…

Even Infinity Ward Is Split on Killing Call of Duty Dog

Will they? Won’t they? Following the reveal of Riley, Call of Duty: Ghost’s awesome dog, people couldn’t help but wonder about Call of Duty Dog’s fate—especially when it would be so easy, if not cliche, to off the dog in an attempt to make an emotional powerplay. When we polled Kotaku readers on it, most…

Animal Crossing Fans Want More Than Just White Skin Colors In New Leaf [UPDATE]

At its heart, Animal Crossing is a game that’s all about personal flair, customization, and expressing yourself. And now that even franchises like Pokemon allow players to choose their skin color, some are wondering: why doesn’t Animal Crossing allow you to do the same thing? All player characters in Nintendo’s intensely charming life sim start…
