Fallout 4 Mod Lets You See What Your Character Is Actually Gonna Say

One of the most irritating parts of Fallout 4, an otherwise excellent depiction of Donald Trump’s America, is the new dialogue system. Now there’s a mod for that. Unlike other Bethesda RPGs, Fallout 4 won’t let you see what your character will say when you’re choosing dialogue. Instead, you get to select one of four…

Being a Superhero Isn’t Helping Thor Fight Cancer

Unlike the big blond guy who preceded her, the woman who’s wielding Mjolnir isn’t immortal. In fact, she’s fighting one of the worst fatal diseases to ever plague mankind.

Protoss Pro Plays Legacy of the Void How It’s Meant To Be Played

Pretty impressive from a “retired” player who no longer participates in tournaments and only plays and streams StarCraft II for fun. But hey it’s MC, one of the best Protoss players in the world. New units? New gameplay mechanics? It certainly doesn’t matter to him, as this recently recorded replay proves. It’s a long video…

The Teletubbies Opening, in GTA V

Trevor, Franklin, Lamarr and Michael are here, as the Teletubbies, ready to make your morning gloriously stupid.

Goofy Dad Recreates Street Fighter’s Victory Poses

It’s not the sweet-as-pie recreations themselves that get me. It’s the thought of how much practice must have gone into a video like this. The hours, days, weeks spent leaping and thrusting and combing his hair just to get it this right. If it all seems a bit familiar, that’s because Nick Luciano managed to…

Dispatcher is not a very good game. And yet, it’s a got a “very positive” review average on Steam. What’s going on? Dispatcher is a game I decided to check out on a whim. The horror pseudo-RPG been out for a few days, and I noticed that its 227 user reviews averaged out to “very…

StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void: The Kotaku Review

How to review a game like StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void? Where do you even start? Do you try to figure out how it fits into today’s landscape of competitive multiplayer games? Do you ask whether it makes for a worthy conclusion to the story that began nearly 17 years ago? Do you just…

How I Survived My Latest Mario Maker Nightmare

After nearly seven hours of ridiculous platforming, The Klepocalypse is finally over. As part of my ongoing Super Mario Maker rivalry with Giant Bomb editor Dan Ryckert, I played yet another stage designed to completely ruin me. That moment above came after a “breakthrough” that resulted in forward progress in the stage. The problem with…

Star Wars: Battlefront Helped Me Understand How The Empire Lost On Endor

How could a powerful military force like the Empire lose to a scruffy band of rebel scum and a handful of teddy bears? I’m thinking it has something to do with the Imperial dress code. While I’ve only been playing the release version of Star Wars: Battlefront since yesterday, I’ve played enough to dread the…
