Tracer vs Widowmaker

Jannet “Incosplay” Vinogradova and Ardsami know what the kids like in their Overwatch fiction. It’s butts. They like butts. We’ve seen Vinogradova’s Widowmaker before; it’s one of the very best pieces of Overwatch cosplay on the planet. Here’s a new shot of it:

When Star Wars Cosplay Is Better Than The Movie

While he’s one of the more impressive creature costumes in The Force Awakens, Grummgar spends his entire on-screen time sitting on the couch. Unlike this cosplay, which can get up and move around and do space mercenary stuff wherever the hell it wants. Of course, this kind of quality is no surprise: it’s by Julian…

Now This Is A Good Transformers Movie

When I opened an email about a “Transformers cosplay fan film”, I feared the worst. A CG-filled compilation of cringe, with bad Stan Bush covers. Nope. Turned out it was the opposite. GENERATION 1 is the perfect celebration of a corny cartoon, it’s giant heads and emphatic gestures nailing the goofy tone of the original…

High Ranked Overwatch Player Cheats On Stream, Gets Banned Mid-Match

Got a sweet Overwatch strat for you today: never cheat. In this video posted by KiD x, a top-200 ranked Korean Overwatch player streams with an aimbot, a type of hack that essentially aims for you.

Kotaku‘s First Level 100 Demon Hunter, And Other Cool Things Happening In World Of Warcraft Today

The Dumb Shit Kotaku Doesn’t Post Anymore

I’ve been working at Kotaku for *checks watch* nearly ten years now. In that time I’ve seen a lot of things change, and most of them have been for the better. While we occasionally go public with editorial decisions, for most of that ten years we’ve evolved quietly and confidently behind the scenes, growing as…

PlayStation 4.5, AKA Neo, Will Be Announced Next Month

Sony just sent out invitations to an event called the PlayStation Meeting, at 3pm Eastern on September 7. The company will finally reveal their upgraded PlayStation 4 model—which Kotaku broke news of earlier this year—there. Looking forward to it!

Two No Man’s Sky Players Wound Up On The Same Planet (But Couldn’t See Each Other)

No Man’s Sky fans have long wondered whether it’s possible to see other players if they’re on the same planet. The answer, it appears, is no. Player TheSadCactus noticed this afternoon that he had landed on a planet discovered by a different player, named Psytokat. SadCactus sent his new buddy a message, and before long…

Five Kickstarter Campaigns For Promising Indie Games

Kickstarter may be the closest thing we have to democracy in game development. Although gamers, in a sense, always vote with their wallets, Kickstarter lets them feel integral to the game development process by directly funding games. The results have been excellent: From Kickstarter funding, we’ve gotten knockout titles like Hyper Light Drifter, Pillars of…

Some Unexpected Cosplay At A Recent Donald Trump Rally

It was surprising enough when your vacationing editor-in-chief discovered last Thursday that Donald Trump was also in Portland, Maine and was about to give a speech a few blocks away. It was even more surprising when the people picketing outside the rally turned out to include a guy dressed as a Captain America villain. The…
