If Attack on Titan Characters Were Pokemon Trainers…

It might be a little grim to imagine Pokemon in the world of Attack on Titan, but, hey! Titans only eat humans, remember? That said, if for some reason the worlds collided, Goldfinch figures these would be the pairings we’d see. What do you think, who would you pair up? I’d probably put Eren with…

How Sexy Is The Xbox One? So Flippin’ Sexy.

Mmmm…. video game hardware. It’s so sexy. It’s black and plastic, and smells like… plastic. It’s the sexiest. Touching video game hardware is literally as pleasurable as touching a human person. They should’ve called the Xbox One the Sexbox One. Or the Xxxboxxx One. Or just called it “Sex.” This humorous (and kinda shockingly racy!)…

King of the Hill, In Eye-Popping 3D

If this was a video game I’d play this game in a second, I’ll tell you what. Months ago, YouTube user hotdiggedydemon decided to teach himself Maya 3D. His first project? Recreating the intro to the Mike Judge sitcom King of the Hill. Between this and the Beavis and Butt-head Civilization V mod, our Mike…

Dragon Age Goes Mobile With A Free-To-Play Oh You’ve Stopped Caring

The greatest heroes of the Dragon Age universe assemble for Heroes of Dragon Age, a free-to-play mobile game that doesn’t look like it would appeal to fans of those heroes very much at all. Discovered via Eurogamer and verfied with EA Mobile, Heroes of Dragon Age is a riff on my least favorite mobile-specific game…

Watch Master Chief Tell His Life Story Through A Series Of Drawings

“Draw My Life” videos have become increasingly popular on YouTube. So popular that fictional characters are picking up dry erase markers to summarize their lives for you. We’ve seen Zelda’s version up on Machinima, now here’s Master Chief.

Xbox One Sizzle Trailer Gives Us Another Look At Next-Gen

Sizzle trailers sure are fun to watch, don’t you think? Often more fun than actually playing video games. Well, okay, that’s a stretch. Sometimes. To kick off this week’s huge GamesCom conference in Germany, here’s a look at Microsoft’s latest Xbox One sizzle trailer, which shows off games like Battlefield 4 and Dead Rising 3.…

I propose a new rule: no releasing “launch” trailers until the game has actually launched. Now I have to watch this over and over again until The Bureau: XCOM Declassified actually launches, which is tomorrow. Hmph.

There’s A Beavis & Butt-Head Mod For Civilization V. It’s Brilliant.

Sid Meier’s Civilization V and its expansions now include almost all the major civilizations, nations and cultures in one way or another, meaning it’s okay to go wild when it comes to modding. So why not make a playable nation based on two of the greatest minds of our time: Beavis & Butt-head? What are…

About That Disney Infinity Review…

In a perfect world, this image would have a little yellow circle in the top left corner, and this article would be titled: Disney Infinity: The Kotaku Review. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
