Well, here’s a bit of irony. Check out the logo used by Fox News during a recent interview with Texas Governer Rick Perry about immigration. It sure looks similar to the BioShock Infinite logo, right? BioShock Infinite, as you might know, features racist zealots who live on a floating city called Columbia. They worship the…
I’ve spent the last two weeks doing one thing: trying to learn Dota 2. I mean, sure, I did other stuff too—eating, sleeping, working. Heck, there’s even been some partying. But Steam tells me I’ve spent 63 (?!) hours playing this wretched game recently. My girlfriend has actually started joking about how she’s become Dota…

It’s time for a graphical throw-down featuring everyone’s favorite confusing mash-up, Kingdom Hearts.

Thirty thousand kilometers. That’s how far JL2579 has to travel to get to the edge of Minecraft--more than twice the diameter of Earth. You can watch him do it live, right here. Unlike Kurt J. Mac, who is walking to the end of Minecraft via Let’s Play-esque videos, JL2579 is riding a minecart to the…
Though the Sailor Moon reboot doesn’t start broadcasting until July 5th, footage of an advanced screening has leaked—notably, Sailor Moon’s new transformation sequence, as well as the new intro to the show. If you don’t want either of these things spoiled, you shouldn’t watch either of these videos. Fair warning! Here’s the new transformation sequence…

This, folks, is the very essence of “get wrecked.” Watch as Daisy is completely unable to catch a break in this video by HowBoutGaming: I think my favorite part is at the end, when she clearly just stops trying to move forward. I don’t blame you, Daisy. Confession: I have an absolutely irrational and intense…
Watching this ad for Fleshlight Launchpad—a real iPad case that Fleshlight has been working on for a couple of years—I couldn’t decide if I was more amazed/baffled at the dupstep, or at the fact this probably wouldn’t work so well on a Skype call at all. Not without the entire thing becoming somewhat, err, turbulent…
You’ve gotta watch this impressive Super Mario Bros. playthrough by speedrunner “Blubbler.” Blubbler beats the game in a bewildering 4:57.69.

Here, the…
Hiccup, is that you? Where is Toothless? No but seriously though: this How To Train Your Dragon 2 cosplay by Liui Aquino nails it.

World of Warcraft is getting a facelift—and yesterday, Blizzard unveiled the new models for human males. The update was met with a lot of playful snark, as folks dissected the goofier elements of the new models. You’ll notice that most reactions around the web focus on three things: the nipples (see the model on the…
It might seem like this player is being reckless by choosing to focus on the Tetris game built into Counter-Strike. But they’re still paying attention to what’s going on around them—so much so that this player actually nabs the game-winning kill. All while not losing the game of Tetris, mind you. Really, you gotta give…
Corgi Time: check out the latest game by hilarious game designer (and occasional Kotaku columnist), Tim Rogers—it’s called Tuffy the Corgi and the Tower of Bones. You kind of need to watch this absurd trailer.
Everyone loves Steam sales. But wanna know who really loves Steam sales? Counter-Strike cheaters. Here’s why. PC Gamer reports that whenever Counter-Strike: Global Offensive goes on sale, cheaters take the opportunity to re-buy the game on new Steam accounts.

It’s 2014—almost three years after Skyrim’s original release. Despite its age, the game can still look damn incredible thanks to modders.
