The World of Katamari Damacy Infused With Portal Looks Like This
I’m not sure if this is a case of Portal making Katamari Damacy cuter, or Katamari Damacy making Portal cuter. Either way, this mesh of two awesome video games is confusingly amazing. Expand the image for the full effect. Though, I’m not entirely sure how a video game featuring the two would actually work. I…

Mario Art Made Out Of Cotton And Felt Needs To Be On My Wall
These pieces of art, made perfect for your wall, were created out of cotton and felt and other fabrics. They’re part of an exhibit called “Sew Nerdy: A Geek Craft Extravaganza,” so these pieces will be on show until August 11th. Unfortunately they run from $60-$100, which isn’t too terrible, but not enough for me…

Deadpool Takes Comic-Con By Dancing Storm
That Deadpool. He certainly has some moves up his skin-tight sleeves. Wait for the end of the video to see Deadpool’s dance stylings truly come to shine. Here he is at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, dancing with random cosplayers (including a male edition of Princess Peach and Princess Daisy) and making a general, hilarious…

This Comic-Con Music Video Reminds Me Why I Love You Nerds
Besides picking the absolute best song possible—”Superhero” by Tim McMorris—this video that captures the cosplayers of The London Film & Comic Con is heartwarming. Spend too much time rifling through Internet forums and comments, and you might wonder who the hell all these seemingly hateful people are who share your hobbies and tastes. But a…

Last Friday, GoNintendo posted the photo you see above (full version below), indicating that UK-based retail entertainment chain HMV was advertising a curious version of the Nintendo 3DS XL with a feature that doesn’t exist: the much clamored-for second circle pad. But Nintendo has already said that the 3DS XL would need to be much…

Pac-Man As a Horror Movie
So, according to this fan film, Pac-Man is actually a creeper who goes around attacking defenseless ghosts. Can you say you’re surprised? How could you ever really trust something that goes around eating everything, shouting out psychotic mumbles of “waka waka waka”? This may not be the only Pac-Man fan film out there, but it’s…

NASA Made A Game That Lets You Land On Mars. Sounds Cool. Now What?
Hop on Xbox Live and search for Mars Rover Landing. You’ll find a Kinect game made by NASA and Microsoft that’s meant to simulate the tense experience of landing Curiosity, NASA’s rover that will land on Mars on August 5 after eight and a half months of travel. It’s “seven minutes of terror,” is how…

What Makes A Video Game World Believable?
In today’s Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Balmung the Apostle Hunter asked what makes a video game world believable, and Fontane has an answer. It depends on the type of game for me. In rpgs (both jrpgs and western) it’s a combination of interesting npcs and hidden areas/quests. Anything that makes it seem like there’s…

This Batman Skirt Makes Your Usual Nerd Clothing Go Up In Flames From Embarrassment
I’m not usually one for overtly nerdy clothing—I prefer my nerdy clothing to be subtle or of the sleep variety, particularly since so many nerdy clothing designs feel lazy and unfashionable—but this… This is just a thing of cuteness. After stumbling on this overskirt (meaning an accessory-like article of clothing that ties on top of…

The Tricky Math Of A $99 Game Console [Update]
Ouya sprung onto people’s radar recently with an incredibly desirable, or at the least incredibly interesting pitch. The would-be console makers offer a cheap alternative for gamers to play, and even hack and mod their way through the hardware and games potentially offered on the platform. But Ouya can’t possibly be relying on hardware sales…

Meet Borderlands 2‘s Craziest New Character
Oh, Tiny Tina. We’re practically like sisters. You’re tiny, I’m tiny. You’re named Tina, I’m named Tina. You were born in a ravaged Pandora, surviving on your own and getting your kicks out of exploding bandits and I… oh that’s where the similarities stop. Meet a newly-revealed NPC that will send you on a quest…

I Have Four Important Things To Tell You About Borderlands 2
After draining the life out of Borderlands 1, every single downloadable content and all, I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion that Gearbox would steal my heart with its sequel. But I don’t think even I was prepared to be blown away by how much they’ve outdone themselves in the several demonstrations I’ve played so far.…

Let Christopher Walken Walk You Through Batman: Arkham City
Everyone has their own interpretation of games, but Christopher Walken’s might be the funniest. Watch him play through Batman: Arkham City while he makes you think of things you didn’t ever want to. Like what Two-Face’s genitalia looks like.

That Really Awesome, Really Loud PC Stealth Game Is On iTunes Now
We’ve already insisted that you play Dynamite Jack, because it’s a truly fun and panicky stealth game with explosions. But now I must insist you pick up the iOS version, because playing a game on my iPad has never taken me to the edge of my seat quite like Dynamite Jack has. Seriously, people on…

This New Borderlands 2 Trailer Trades Wub Wub For Lion King
The newest trailer for Borderlands 2 emphasizes the first-person, role-playing game’s sillier side. But even while sporting a South African-bred song that later moved on to The Lion King licensing, the action-packed trailer manages to showcase just how exciting combat can be in Gearbox’s upcoming sequel. This is partially due to some fancy assassin moves…
