Cobra is a classic Japanese manga about a space pirate named Cobra who has a cybernetic arm-laser connected directly to his brain. How cool is that? Pretty damn cool. Over the years, Cobra got a couple anime as well as a handful of video game adaptations. Personally, I dig the look of the sci-fi manga…
Namco is making a new Kamen Rider game called Kamen Rider: Battle Ride Wars for the PS3.
Last summer, a new art collective called “Rrrrrrrroll” started releasing GIFs. They were relatively simple GIFs: a woman spinning around. And when she’s not spinning like a record, other things are spinning around her. The result is fascinating. When Rrrrrrrroll first hit, the group of art friends started getting publicity on design and art websites.…
Killer Is Dead is the upcoming action game from the folks behind No More Heroes and Killer7. The game follows 35 year-old Mondo Zappa, a suit-wearing executioner responsible for taking out heinous criminals with a katana. A gun that can turn into a drill is embedded in Zappa’s left hand—an augmentation he has no memory…
In Japan, the stereotype is that all geeks are dudes. Walking around nerd areas like Tokyo’s Akihabara and Osaka’s Den-Den Town, the large number of guys would lead you to think that. That would be incorrect. Yes, there are female geeks in Japan. Of course there are! Some of them are idols or wanna-be idols,…
It’s flu season. Time to either protect yourself from getting sick, or, if you are already sick, prevent your illness from spreading to others. Hence, sickness masks. But not everyone who wears sickness masks are, well, sick! Sometimes their faces are cold. Sometimes the air is dry. But now, with pollution being recognized as a…
Nintendo is joining its home console and handheld divisions into one unit to streamline its hardware, reports the Nikkei. That means the two divisions, which have been separate, will not work in concert. So don’t be surprised if future Nintendo handhelds have greater interaction with the home consoles!
Oh, but it is. Beloved by fans, you can bet that there’s a seemingly endless well of Metal Gear cosplay, especially ones that bring Snake to life. Snake? SNAKE?! SNAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!! Last year, Kotaku collected some, not all, of the best cosplay of Raiden from Metal Gear Solid. This time, it’s Snake’s turn, with wonderful internet…
It’s a gimmick, sure, but it’s a neat one: this is a sheet of water vapour that, thank to some fancy add-ons, has been turned into both a screen and a touch-screen device. Letting you get your Fruit Ninja on. As you can see, the controls work pretty well! I mean, it’s also entirely useless,…
According to legal documents obtained by tech sites Ars Technica and Extremetech, four former employees of hardware company AMD are facing a number of charges related to industrial espionage over allegations they stole “thousands of confidential documents” before leaving to work at rival company Nvidia The four named in the suit are Robert Feldstein, Manoo…
Not content with pleasing the world with his Shadow of the Colossus hard drive enclosure, Reddit user foxfoxwaltz seems to be on a mission to turn his entire desk into a Team Ico playground, as he’s also done this amazing Last Guardian speaker enclosure. Seeing as this would look incredible just sitting there as a…
It’s got almost nothing to do with the game itself, since it shows absolutely none of it, but the debut trailer for Cyberpunk was still an exciting thing to watch, primarily because it shows at least the game’s art design has the whole future noir, Blade Runner thing down pretty well. You may be forgiven…
If your family is from a place on the planet that means it has a heraldic shield, chances are it’s actually pretty simple. I know mine is. If only I lived in the Land of Ooo, where my allegiance would get me seeing something like these framed at my Nanna’s house. If I decided to…
There’s been some unsavoury talk of statues today. Let’s clear the air, then, with a look at a statue that does gross the right way. This piece, of Dead Space’s creepy wall-hugging lurkers, sadly isn’t available for purchase. It’s a custom job, by British artist Sean Schofield, and if you think it’s just a wee…
It was a primitive gaming clan from a more civilised age
If you own a PC, you should probably get this. Teased last year, Catzilla is a new benchmarking program from All Benchmark. Taking the form of an animated sequence about a giant cat blowing stuff up, it’s supposed to help you test out your hardware. But really, I’ve spent half the morning just watching the…
For how old the character is, Samus’ power armour is actually standing the test of time pretty well, with only a few minor modifications needing to be done over the decades. So a redesign for the character probably isn’t necessary. If it were though, artist medders has a pretty sweet idea of how it could…
It’s taken seven years of work, but three brothers from Finland have finally completed what must surely be their life’s work: KastleVania 4, an epic feature-length film based on Konami’s Castlevania series. There’s full voice-acting, special effects, the animation is good… seriously, it feels wrong to just be able to view this for free, so…
Oh, trashy reality TV shows. You’re so formulaic, and so awful, and yet there’s something about you that makes it difficult to look away. Like a car wreck, really. (And sure, sometimes you’re genuinely entertaining.) Here is a Skyrim machinima by Nerdist that takes a look at what happens when a group of strangers get…
The game isn’t affiliated with Star Wars: The Old Republic, though it is a response of sorts to the recent debacle concerning a ‘gay planet.’ Here is a Twine game by Anna Anthropy that’s all about searching for an elusive gay planet. It’s called, as you might have guessed, The Hunt For The Gay Planet.…
