Pokémon Wonder If We Actually Love Them, You Know
When a Pokémon takes one of our available six slots in a game, it’s not always an inclusion born out of love. Maybe we just need a specific type of Pokémon to deal with a threat. Maybe it’s just a temporary inclusion, the best Pokémon we can find at that point in the game. Maybe…

UncategorizedThe Samurai Robot Isn’t Racist, He’s The Best Part Of Transformers 4
I’m the rare kind of person who unabashedly adores Michael Bay’s much-maligned treatment of Transformers. Everybody else I know hates these movies, so much so that none of them have even bothered to see the new one. If this is purely a matter of taste, I’m totally fine being the lone Transformers fan. But one…

Last year, I reviewed a Roccat keyboard and it wasn’t the greatest. Let’s see if this year things get any better. I’m taking a look at the Ryos MK Pro, which doesn’t appear to be brand new, but is still the company’s “flagship” gaming keyboard. After a couple of days of constant use, for both…

For $3400, This Arcade Had Better Be Pretty
The R-Kaid-R has a very practical purpose. It’s a portable emulator machine with an arcade stick, meaning you can play loads of your favourite classic games the way they were supposed to be played, anywhere you want.

The Internet’s Most “Terrible” Cosplay Is Still the Most Amusing
Remember Anucha “Cha” Saengchart? He’s the fellow that runs Lowcost Cosplay, a Facebook site centered around super cheap, ramshackle cosplay made from whatever is laying around the house. It’s so “bad,” it’s good. Lowcost Cosplay is incredibly creative and done with an incredibly dry sense of humor. I love it. Back in March, Kotaku first…
