Thanks For A Fun Weekend! Crabtree Out.
Thanks for hanging out this weekend, Kotaku! It’s been real. And a big thanks to the other Kotaku editors who faithfully make this thing happen every week and still took the time to help me out. Them’s good apples. Feel free to hit me up on Twitter @DanRCrabtree anytime. I have so much more to…

UncategorizedWe Fell In And Out Of Love With Niko
I’d never played a Grand Theft Auto before. I mean, I understood the draw, but ever since I’d played Mafia, I felt no beckon to follow The Sopranos through an open-world Manhattan de-make. Wise guy this, blip-blap that. The whole rigamarole sounded like a chore, really. On top of that, my new girrrrrrrrlfriend and I…

Today, I’m Either 2,718th Or 1st. It’s Up To The Hackers.
In a single day, I became one the best Angry Birds Star Wars players in the world — 8th overall. Today, I’m either 2,718th or 1st. It’s up to the hackers. One of my co-worker’s kids, Vincent, calls me “The Video Game Man.” He’s never read a thing I’ve written (he’s 7) or asked me…

UncategorizedThe Braid of First-Person Shooters Is Totally Free
Indie developers can be just the best. Like, for instance, when Piotr Iwanicki and and Blue Brick crew (not a ’70s funk band, by the way) made Superhot in a 7 Day FPS Challenge, then refined it a bit, and then posted it online for free. And it’s brilliant. Kotaku AU describes Superhot as “like…

UncategorizedDLC Explained In A Disney Nutshell
I feel like I could sing along to this DLC dub-jam from Destructoid blogger and YouTuber Genki-JAM (aka SMNtoob) without even knowing the words. Yes, it’s partly because I’ve watched Aladdin more times than I’ve played Super Mario RPG (we’re talking double digits, here), but also because of the salient, underlying truths bolstering this satire.…

Imagine Andrew Ryan With An Australian Accent
Can you remember the voices from BioShock? Of Brigid Tenenbaum, or Sofia Lamb, or Dr. Suchong, or Andrew Ryan? Now imagine them all with Australian accents. If casting for an upcoming web series being produced in Victoria, Australia goes well, then you’ll never hear those sounds A casting call on audition site Starnow says that…

UncategorizedResident Evil 2 Becomes Real And Maybe Terrifying
Universal Orlando is bringing Raccoon City to life for Halloween Horror Nights 23, and it could be a horrifying haunt. Sure, anything could be horrifying, but Universal has had some practice (in Japan with Resident Evil and in Orlando with Silent Hill) and is bringing at least part of the act stateside. Gird the loins.…

UncategorizedOh My God It’s A 30-Foot Walking Robot Dragon
The Guinness Record won by Rancho Obi-Wan is impressive, sure, but can Star Wars memorabilia breath fire? Unless they’ve got one of the fire-breathing spiders from Star Wars Galaxies, then no; Tradinno, this 30-foot tall German robot dragon, earns the Guinness World Record for Best Potential Harbinger of the Human Apocalypse. Well, actually, Tradinno and…
