For those of us who didn’t get a chance to visit Los Angeles for this year’s Electronic 3 Two-Zero-One-Eight, Tim and our wonderful video team on the West Coast have been hard at work providing us with an inside look. That also means a peek at all of the weird stuff E3 has to offer, like VR shoes for optimal…
Bethesda Softworks is named after the city in Maryland. Tim Rogers has been to that city, so it only makes sense that we sent him to the Bethesda booth at E3 2018. There was demons, carnival games, and a lot of VR.
You’re probably not at E3 but fret not. Tim checked out everything that Bethesda was rocking on the show…
Hello again. E3 is drawing to a close, but we have more video reports filed from the guts of the convention from our own Tim Rogers. This time, he’s taking a peek at the Ubisoft booth.
Tim Rogers is back with another E3 2018 booth tour. This time he’s got Activision in his sights. How plush is the carpet? What’s the funniest way to truncate Call of Duty? Did Activision deliver this year?
All those questions and many more are answered in the video above. Join us, gamers.
Hello gamers. You may be asking yourself a lot of questions right now. “What’s it like inside Sony’s E3 booth?” and “How does Norman Reedus stay so perfectly still for photos?” Well, do we have some answers for you.
If Football—that is, the American National Football League football—used the same naming scheme as “Dungeons & Dragons,” we’d call it “Beer Commercials & Cheerleaders.”
As I did yesterday with the Xbox One X E3 2017 Briefing, I recorded myself commenting over last night’s Sony PlayStation Showcase E3 2017. This time, I was in a hotel bed, wearing a Rilakkuma sweatshirt. I was very comfortable.
The Olympic Games is a massively multiplayer event wherein local champions from various territories convene in a single geographic location to compete in a wide variety of mini-games within larger categories (aquatic, track, gymnastics, cycling, and others). Winners in each event acquire a gold medal. Second prize is…
If you’re hungry for a quick and quirky couch co-op fix, Videoball is here to scratch that itch. Game designer and former Kotaku contributor Tim Rogers, along with the rest of the team at Action Button Entertainment, have smashed together Asteroids and Pong to make a pretty fun game. Join me for a match as I talk…
I dare say the Nintendo 64 is The Most Interesting Game System Nintendo Ever Made. It's interesting for a laundry list of historical reasons:
Cara Ellison's excellent "Embed With" (geddit?) series chronicles her experiences temporarily living with various gaming luminaries. The latest entry focuses on occasional Kotaku writer and Videoball/Ziggurat mastermind Tim Rogers. It's brilliant stuff. Required reading, if you ask me.
Hello, my darlings! It is me, tim rogers, founder and director of Action Button Entertainment, currently directing an androgynous apolitical abstract minimalist electronic sport called VIDEOBALL, which will arrive on all consoles and computer operating systems with a robust cross-platform online multiplayer user…
Indie Game: The Infomercial. "If StarCraft is a sport, Divekick is a crime scene." That's Action Button founder (and sometime Kotaku contributor) Tim Rogers giving his trademark infomercial-style pitch for Divekick, an absurd two-button fighting game he did not make but would still like for you to play.
If you're going to make a video pitching your new indie game, might as well go full-infomercial with it.
Up for a lengthy, design-oriented review of The Last of Us? Game designer and sometime Kotaku contributor Tim Rogers has got you covered, with a terrific, meaty write-up over at ActionButton.net.
The dust has settled a bit, and opinions about BioShock Infinite are still all over the place. A couple new things worth checking out: First of all, erstwhile Kotaku contributor Tim Rogers has written a typically sprawling, highly enjoyable review of the game over at actionbutton.net. Second, Cameron Kunzelman has…
I've been writing for Kotaku, off and on, since 2007. I've been reading it longer than that. One of the accounts I follow on Twitter (follow me!) begs me to not read the comments on blogs. Of course, I don't listen, and that is why my head is crammed with weird shards of anecdotal evidence that are as bring-uppable at…
On 7 January 2013, Sony announced they had stopped production of the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Google says that more than 1.5 billion games were sold for the PlayStation 2 worldwide in its 12-plus-change years of success.
Many people who went to film school will tell you that film school made them hate watching films. In a similar fashion, as someone who has worked on triple-A video games in the past, the only thing that impresses me about triple-A video games is the amount of work that goes into constructing them. Project managers and…
Over the past couple of days I've been playing the balls off of TNNS, Action Button Entertainment's new paddle-ball game for iOS devices. It's colorful, challenging and infinitely entertaining, and that has nothing to do with the involvement of frequent Kotaku contributor Tim Rogers.
