Inventor-by-day, DJ-by-night Henry Strange’s latest creation is a laser beam that is controlled by a Nintendo Wii Remote mounted in a white, plastic gun casing. This is Henry’s walk through.

Should you ever wish to graduate from baking cakes or wearing t-shirts of Nintendo’s mascot of mascots, you could always do what this guy and his girlfriend did: fill a room with custom Mario furniture. It’s the work of Dennis and his lady friend Judith, who as a mechanical engineering student probably did most of…
The God of War III game demo was first revealed at the E3 2009 gaming expo in Los Angeles. The game will be released this March. And my, how the game has changed. For the better, too. The DigitalFoundry blog has side-by-side comparisons of the demo and the final retail game. Things to notice? The…
Won’t someone think of the children? The imaginary children? Don’t worry, Japanese politicians are. The Tokyo Metropolitan government is moving forward on legislation that sets out to ban provocative “visual depictions” of characters who appear to be 18 years-old and younger.

You may have noticed, if you’re reading this through an RSS reader, that we’re not all quite there anymore. Have no fears, there is a solution. As of earlier today, Kotaku’s default RSS feed is an excerpt-only feed. Unless you’re a VIP. Fortunately, you’re all VIPs to us. So here’s how to get back to…
Civilization was never the most realistic game, and those who enjoyed battling against a nuclear-armed Gandhi have not minded. The next one, Civilization V, though may be the most natural one thanks to some crafty tweaks. Kotaku was shown an early version of development studio Firaxis’ Civ V running on a PC on the first…

Xià Dá is a 28 year-old Chinese manhua (comic book) artist. Japan has just fallen in love with her. Her work has been translated into Japanese and is being serialized in Japanese manga Ultra Jump.
