ReviewsXidax X-8 Custom Gaming PC: The Kotaku Review
When the folks at Xidax asked if I wanted to review one of its gaming rigs, I asked them for “something impressive.” So they sent a system with two Nvidia Titan X graphics cards. Also, two Blu-ray burners. I’d not heard much about Utah-based Xidax prior to the company contacting me late last year regarding…

ReviewsFinal Fantasy XIV Heavensward Log Two: Identity Crisis
I’d love to be able to report this week that I’ve reached the new level cap and experienced some of the high-end content Final Fantasy XIV’s first expansion has to offer, but first I need to figure out which version of my character I want to be. If Heavensward had introduced its three new adventuring…

ReviewsSnacktaku Nibbles On Taco Bell’s Fried Cap’n Crunch Balls
When Taco Bell initially announced its cream-filled Cap’n Crunch Delights, Icompared them to testicles. Now that I have had them in my mouth I must amend that comparison to read “delicious testicles.” Or maybe just toss out the word “testicles” altogether. I’m not a food marketer, I am a snackologist, so it’s not my job…

At some point it dawned on Pizza Hut executives that sometimes people don’t want to eat pizza. Affixing foods people might want to eat more than pizza—say, hot dog bites—is not the most elegant solution.

Earth beats Water. Water beats Fire. Fire beats Earth. That’s the basis for mobile fantasy trading card game Earthcore. From there it gets complicated. It’s no Magic: The Gathering, nor is it a Magic-esque game like Hearthstone. While I’m sure more seasoned card game players will be able to rattle off a few similar titles,…

ReviewsSnacktaku Reviews S’mores Oreos, AKA S’moreos
Remember when you’d go camping as a kid and sit around a campfire roasting marshmallows for s’mores? I don’t, which is why I used a cigarette lighter on a S’mores Oreo instead. Available tomorrow at participating retailers across the country, S’mores Oreo is the latest in Nabisco’s ever-increasing limited-edition attempts at making Oreos taste like…

ReviewsSnacktaku Tries Mountain Dew’s Latest Throwback, Dewshine
Mountain Dew’s latest limited edition flavor does not contain alcohol, but it really, really wants to. There’s been some understandable confusion over Dewshine, the crystal clear beverage from PepsiCo’s Mountain Dew brand that’s been sporadically popping up across the country over the past month or so. It comes in four-pack bottles emblazoned with Mountain Dew’s…

ReviewsSnacktaku Eats The Painfully Spicy Doritos Roulette
The idea behind Doritos Roulette is roughly the same idea as putting one bullet in the chamber of a revolver, spinning it, putting the barrel in your mouth and pulling the trigger. Before we get into it, I’d like to welcome viewers back to the Snacktaku video review. I’ve been on hiatus for a bit…
