Snackology is often referred to by completely real people as the loneliest of the sciences, but it doesn’t have to be. Join me and a host of Kotaku guest stars in our poorly-lit home office as we eat one of the best non-cookie Oreo products yet.
Live from New York, it’s Snacktaku, featuring special guest Cecilia D’Anastasio. Watch us drink Starbucks’ Pokémon Go marketing tie-in as we ponder whether or not they skinned the Pokémon before grinding them up.
Last week we asked our ‘Shop-savvy readers to show us who could play Detective Pikachu in the upcoming live-action film. It all came down to a coin-toss.
With Pokémon Go fever gripping the bits of the globe currently capable of playing, it’s only a matter of time before other major video game franchise get in on the action. Let’s beat them to the punch, shall we?
Last week Burger King announced it would be subjecting innocent Americans to deep-fried, Cheetos-crusted macaroni and cheese sticks. Snacktaku is pleased to report that Mac N’ Cheetos taste much better than they look.
I know that fans of From Software’s brutal action role-playing games love their darkness, but with the third game hitting shelves last week I am getting sick and tired of dreary screenshots. Let’s brighten ‘em up a bit, shall we?
I can explain.
Ah, springtime. A time when young men’s thoughts turn to the sweeter things in life, like milk chocolate molded eggs filled with white and yellow fondant, the world’s tastiest faux embryo—the Cadbury Creme Egg. A snack I once held in the highest regard, though as of late our relationship has changed.
While the ultimate showdown between DC Comics’ iconic heroes doesn’t hit theaters until Friday, the battle begins now, in your mouth.
It’s March 14, 2016, also known as Rounded Pi Day. Chances of me ever eating six pies for a Snacktaku video again are incredibly slim, so here’s a replay of last year’s Ultimate Pi Day celebration for your dining pleasure.
I’ll admit I was a little worried about how wild our community might get given a ‘Shop Contest that plays on the abbreviation S&M for the recently-announced Pokemon Sun & Moon. But you guys kept it mostly nice and tasteful. Great job, everyone!
They probably should have gone with “Bright Sun” and “Dark Moon” or something to that effect for the next two Pokemon games, but they didn’t. Pokemon S&M it is. All we need now is a Pokemon wearing a gimp mask and . . . ah yes, Banette. Close enough. Let’s do this.
Last week we tasked our Photoshop-savvy readers with cheering up an incredibly sad Damian Wayne. Most were not good at cheering up a baby superhero, but they failed in such entertaining ways it hardly mattered.
Batman’s son, Damian Wayne, has a sad. I’m pretty sure we can fix this.
Inspired by both Louis Vuitton’s choice of virtual model and Venture Beat’s excellent response, this week’s ‘Shop Contest is too sexy for your games.
A cornerstone of snack culture, popcorn is a light and fluffy snack that’s relatively harmless to eat by the handful. At least until a company like Pop Works & Co. starts putting delicious stuff all over it.
The $600 Oculus Rift is a pricey piece of equipment at launch, but it could be worse. Much, much worse, as our Photoshop-friendly community demonstrates in the winning entries from last week’s ‘shop contest.
The future of looking at fake things is upon us, and it costs $600. Many people are upset over the official price tag for the Oculus Rift, but as the image manipulators in our community will no doubt prove, it could be worse.
This year saw some of the greatest reader-created images in the history of the Kotaku ‘Shop Contest. Now it’s time to bring it all home. It’s a year-end mash-up, y’all. I’ll get the butter.
