Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Turtle Power: The Winners!
Last week I asked you fine Photoshop people to take back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from Michael Bay. You’ve made this old and wizened anthropomorphic rat proud. I seriously don’t know how my predecessor managed to deal with so much beauty every week. Once again I found myself selecting just about every entry —…

Super Mario Cat Doesn’t Take No Crap From No Goomba
There’s a reason it takes a rare power-up to turn into a cat in the Mushroom Kingdom — they’re just too powerful. While the plumber is away, Super Mario Cat saves the day. Youtube’s Mr. TVCow shot a bunch of footage of this cat, and then spent hours adding CG Mario scenery and sound effects.…

Players Upset Over The Elder Scrolls Online‘s Subscription System

Look Kids, It’s The First 3D Mobile Adventure Time Game
While Finn, Jake and friends showed up as 3D card battlers in Adventure Time: Card Wars, the rest of their games (browser-based not included!) have been confined to two dimensions.

The Saturday Morning Stream: The Titanfall Disaster [And We’re Done]
My original plan for today’s Saturday Morning Stream was to play Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F on my PlayStation 3. Then my PlayStation 3 killed itself. Titanfall it is! As you will soon see, I am not good at Titanfall. Really it’s any competitive online shooter, with the possible exception of Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden…

Why Those Dumb Buzzfeed Quizzes Are Actually Great Video Games
I don’t remember how long I’ve been here. Has it been minutes, hours, months? I’ve lost all track of time. Oh gosh, have I forgotten to feed my cat? Do I have a cat? I’ve been laying in bed procrastinating contributing to society in any meaningful way for hours. Actual hours. The culprit? Those insidious,…

Guy Proposes Using Skyrim Magic Item, She Says Yes
In Skyrim, romancing someone means acquiring the ‘Amulet of Mara,’ an enchanted piece of jewelry that unlocks dialogue options—one of which allows you to marry other characters. So it was only a matter of time before a gamer used the item in real life in a marriage proposal, really. “I introduced [my fiance] to Skyrim—and…

The Undertaker’s Outfit Looks Awfully Familiar
Sign that I might be too obsessed with WWE and Assassin’s Creed: I think the Undertaker is cosplaying as an Assassin’s Creed character these days. Seriously, how did I not notice this before? Or am I just imagining things now? Assassin’s Creed Undertaker Assassin’s Creed Undertaker Assassin’s Creed Undertaker I know. It’s not 1:1, not…

Disney Characters Do Really Strange Things, When You Think About It
Disney characters might be beloved, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also be weird. This becomes particularly apparent if you ever try to mimic their behavior—which, by the way, you probably shouldn’t. BuzzFeedVideo has another entry in their funny creep series, and this time they argue that some of the iconic stuff we know and…
