To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: Blogger Needs Food Yikes! Speaking of food…. While making a sammich for lunch today — and slicing chicken with a slicer doohickey — I caught the tip of my ring finger in the contraption. Lots of blood and bandaids later, I was ready to star work. And my finger wasn’t,…

Japanese website Dengeki Online seems fun. Once a slave girl dropped by to answer the phone. Another day, there were spankings! Then there was a game of loitering in the hall. A classic, classic game. This time? Pro wrestler Shuhei Taniguchi showed up to promote free-to-play online shooter Alliance of Valiant Arms. And pin-up Rika…
Pardon us as we go a little Diablo III mad here this morning at GamesCom, with these screenshots rounding out Blizzard’s contribution to today’s events.

Donté Reed, aged 33, drove to the Caddo, Louisiana home of the three Adams brothers on Monday night and hid in the woods near their home.…
So, Diablo III has a new crafting feature, the Artisan. This video shows how he works, brining some much-needed apron to the Monk’s sandy robes. I’d tell you more, but as a Diablo novice, I think the voice-over from Blizzard’s Jay Wilson in the clip below does a better job than I could ever manage.
The course count for Polyphony Digital’s real driving simulator Gran Turismo 5 is now approaching infinity, thanks to the game’s just revealed Course Maker, shown off today at Gamescom in Germany. Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi demoed the Course Maker feature today, showing that it’s not the type of tool that will let players build a…
Right now, there’s a PC version of Diablo III planned. A Mac version, too. But consoles? According to Blizzard, as of August 2010, there are no plans for a console version of the game. At a Q&A session earlier today, Blizzard’s Jay Wilson took to the podium to answer a bunch of questions, and that…
We’ve seen photos of the Nintendo 3DS, sure. Here are some extreme close-ups of the upcoming 3D-glasses-free device. You can see buttons and slots and holes.

Kotaku readers Francis and Nerissa recently tied the knot, and this sombre diorama topped their cake. I’d laugh, but as a recently-married man myself, I feel his pain.
Gate Online, a South Korean online game Kotaku previously introduced, appears to take its cues from two Valve titles: Portal and Team Fortress 2. Team Fortress 2 is a well-spring of sorts. Last summer, the game inspired another South Korean developed PC title, H.A.V.E. Online The influences for Gate Online are not as blatant as…

Day two of Germany’s Gamescom show is about to begin, so could there be a better time to recap what happened on day one? Nope. Don’t think there could be. The big events were an Electronic Arts press conference, a Sony press conference and – slightly ahead of time – a bunch of announcements from…

Catherine is being developed for the PS3 and…
Capcom today revealed two more characters due for inclusion in upcoming brawler Marvel vs Capcom 3. One is a Capcom stalwart, the other, a Marvel villain that’s not exactly a household name. Marvel baddie first, and it’s Dormammu, the flaming-head tyrant. I’ll be honest. I’d seen the guy like twice in my entire life, and…
But that’s okay! Here is a promotional video for an upcoming “Big 3 Gun Shooting” bundle for Japan. Stick with the clip. It gets comic book crazy.
A commercial for Final Fantasy XIII has been reprimanded by Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority for using PlayStation 3 footage in an advertisement for the Xbox 360 version of the game.
