Five New Comics You Might Want To Check Out

Evan isn’t the only person reading comics around here. Here are some recent surprise favorites of mine. I didn’t expect to be recommending any of these to you: Crossed + 100 #6 Above art drawn by Gabriel Andrade, colored by Digikore I’ve long avoided most of the Crossed comics, a more vile riff on zombie…

We Talk About The Witcher 3’s Awesome Quests

The Witcher 3. It just won’t leave us alone. It won’t get out of our heads While most of us here at Kotaku have at least dabbled in the game, four of us have been playing it regularly, and just can’t stop talking about it. So we sat down yesterday to discuss just what about…

Zeratul Banned From Heroes Tournament After Exploit Emerges [UPDATE]

Blizzard has benched the best assassin in its up-and-coming MOBA Heroes of the Storm, banning StarCraft star Zeratul from use in the game’s first real round of professional tournaments for the indefinite future. While Blizzard hasn’t exactly confirmed this, the Zeratul ban sure seems like it stems from a bug of some sort that was…

New PS4 Platformer Is Infuriating And I Can’t Stop Playing

God damnit. There is nothing relaxing or meditative about N++. Most of the time, I’m uttering inappropriate words under my breath, clenching my fists, sweating profusely, and hoping I don’t mess up the next jump. And when I do, there’s a good chance I’m going to scream. If you’re wondering “hey, haven’t I heard of…

The Newest Life is Strange Episode Starts With A Major Shocker

I can’t believe the places where Life is Strange is going. (Spoilers for Life is Strange episode 4 follow!) A week ago I was adamant that the game’s developer, Dontnod, wouldn’t actually make you play through the timeline you open up by the end of episode 3. In my mind, having Max open up a…

The Most Entertaining Speedrun For A Game You’ve Never Heard Of

On the left we have aspiring voice actor Patrick “Patty” Cullens, aka PCULL, whose mother may or may not have been murdered by a windmill. On the right is MrWeables, who possibly lives in a rustic castle with Will Ferrell. They’re playing a game you’ve probably never heard of, and they’re hilarious. Part of the…

New King’s Quest Is Love Child of Dragon’s Lair and The Princess Bride

I took our 5-year-old daughter to see Pixar’s Inside Out a week ago. I wish we had been able to play the new King’s Quest together instead. Like Inside Out, the new King’s Quest is close to a perfect piece of family entertainment. Unlike Inside Out, it would be far less likely to turn a…

Tetris Grandmaster Takes On The Weirdest Game Mode I’ve Ever Seen

In its most vanilla, near-ubiquitous form, Tetris is already a near perfect video game that challenges you to be smart and fast in increasingly hard fashion. The stuff that gets thrown at you in an ultra-hard arcade version is mind-blowing. Blocks that need to be cleared twice. A stack that flips around. Let’s watch one…

StarCraft Mod Inspired By Rocket League

Using themes from WoW, but made with the StarCraft II editor by Bounty, Aqua League looks like fast-paced soccer game with a few funny elements added. It’s something similar to Rocket League but instead of bumper cars it has Nagas and Elementals and it’s for the StarCraft II Arcade. Looks fun, and it’s always great…

Fully Motorized LEGO Tank Has A Cool Mine Flail

This is one compact custom tank built by Tommy Styrvoky, full of motorized goodies inside with a working mini mine-clearing flail outside. It’s a 1/18th replica of the M4 Sherman, a tank used in World War II, fitted with a special flail that helped passing through mine fields safely. The flail’s not just the only…

Black Mesa: Hazard Course drops two brand new screenshots. The mod project, which aims to recreate the Hazard Course tutorial level from Half-Life (a level that was cut from the big HL remake, Black Mesa) has now entered its internal beta, and is looking at a 2015 release. Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs…
