This video is from PlayStation Poland. It is titled “The Witcher Is Looking for the Most Powerful Power.” But does Geralt actually find it? Hrm… The Witcher 3 was released on PS4, Xbox One, and, heh, PC. To contact the author of this post, write to bashcraftATkotaku.com or find him on Twitter@Brian_Ashcraft
Have you ever seen someone and thought, “Hey, that person looks familiar”? And not just familiar, but famous. A while back Russian site Big Picture uploaded photos of people who resembled some of the entertainment industry’s biggest names. Recently, there were reposts on websites Caak, English Russia, and Sfora So, yes, here are snapshots of…
You know how sometimes you take the lid off a container of ice cream, and you can see a face? This is kind of like that. As noted on Spoon & Tamago, Makoto Asanotakes this further by carving funny characters in the ice cream using those disposable ice cream spoons. The resulting sculptures are deliciously…
Didn’t you know? Pikachu friggin’ loves ketchup. And now, a major Japanese ketchup maker has roped in that electric rodent to help promote the stuff. Kagome is rolling out a “I Love Pikachu’s Ketchup” campaign, complete with instructions on how to draw the character on a Japanese rice omelette. In case you are curious, like…

There’s a lot of great cosplay in Sneaky Zebra’s video from the London Comic-Con, but my favourite has to be this strutting Chappie.
OK, let’s get personal. I like cars. I like F1. My favorite F1 cars of all time are basically any of the McLaren Hondas (with 91’s probably taking top spot) . The lines of the cars, that iconic Marlboro branding, ungh. Sadly, those cars are long gone, though as today’s Fine Art feature shows, they…
Crusader Kings II—one of the best video games ever made—has had a ton of great expansions and post-release content over the years. But none of it has been quite as exciting, at least to me, as this. Ever since CKII launched, one of the most defining features of the game has been the slow, inevitable…
Before The Witcher 3 officially released, much of the talk online was about downgrades, or disappointment about the graphics. Now that people have had a chance to actually play the game, however, the discussion around The Witcher 3 is very, very different. There are over a thousand reviews on Steam right now, and almost all…
Finally, Steam is offering refunds! Oh joyous day. But actually, the new policy could cause more problems than it solves. Doubtless, Steam needs a refund policy. It’s a good thing to have in general, and especially on Steam, where tons of potential predators—in the form of faulty Early Access games and ample trash heaped on…
Last fall, a producer for CBS This Morning called me to talk about the video game Hatred. I had been on CBS a year earlier to teach co-anchor Gayle King how to play Grand Theft Auto V, the biggest entertainment property in the human-discovered universe. This time, instead of talking about a game made by…
I’ve been replaying The Witcher 3 over the past couple of weeks, and every so often I’ll notice something is slightly different than it was the first time I played. That’s because slowly but surely, CD Projekt Red has been adding free stuff to the game. I decided to look back over what they’ve added…
Destiny, a video game in which players travel through space talking about how good Destiny is now, got a new patch today, and it’s got a few changes people will really care about. Treasure Keys for everyone! Treasure Keys, consumable items that players can use to unlock the main reward chest at the end of…
Normally, Splatoon matches are nice and chill—I frequently find myself smiling even when I lose. Things are different in ranked mode. Ranked mode is intense. Ranked mode is fierce. Ranked mode is where the kids are separated from the squids. Last night, Splatoon got an update with a number of goodies, including a new map…
YouTube’s big gaming push continues. The video giant will be running more than a dozen hours of live E3 coverage, anchored by friend-of-Kotaku Geoff Keighley, who’d formerly been doing that kind of thing on Spike TV. TV’s loss is streaming video’s gain. The way of the world! Read about YouTube’s ambitious E3 plans
Life is Strange has been the most pleasant surprise of the year so far for me. Its trajectory, episode by episode, has gone from “this is interesting, you might want to check it out” to “actually you should be playing this” to “holy shit this is getting seriously good, now”. Although, after playing the third…
Steam is finally getting a proper refund system. Starting today, users of Valve’s PC platform will be able to get a full refund on any game for any reason, provided it’s been less than 14 days since purchase and they’ve spent less than two hours playing. You’ll be able to get your money back for…
Man of Action Entertainment will produce an animated Mega Man series, reports Deadline. They’ve worked on Ben 10, Marvel’s Ultimate Spiderman, and other cartoons. Deals like this are made all the time and never happen, but hey, Mega Man makes sense for a cartoon. You can reach the author of this post at [email protected] or…
Nintendo has denied a recent Nikkei report that their new NX console will use Android as an operating system. Of course, Nintendo has a habit of denying Nikkei reports that later turn out to be true. On the other hand, Nikkei’s track recordisn’t 100%. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The good news is that it sounds like Blizzard is changing most everything for the better. The frustrating news is that everyone’s current ranking is going to be reset. Just in time for its exodus from beta, Blizzard announced a bunch of adjustments the developer will be making to its new MOBA Heroes of the…
