A (Playable) Game Boy For Ants
29.9.2021
You know what my grandmother used to say? “That blasted Game Boy of yours, it’s too damn big!” She was right, the old woman was wise.

The Boss Fight That Proves Death’s Door Is On Another Level
28.9.2021
Death’s Door, an isometric dungeon-crawler that came out for PC and Xbox earlier this year, is a master class in elegant game design. Nowhere is that more apparent than in one late-game boss fight.

Sable: The Kotaku Review
28.9.2021
When I meet the mask crafter for the first time, I am unsure if I am touching a spirit, god, or machine. The machinists, whose ranks I plan to join today, would probably dismiss the distinction altogether. As I remember this, my hoverbike Simoon purrs outside the tent. She has been a good...

Somebody Tried To Warn Us About Chris Pratt As Mario In 2020
24.9.2021
I’m still physically recovering from the Mario movie cast announcement, mostly because if you’d given me 100 guesses to try and pick who would play the role of Mario—a short, thicc Italian-American—I would not have picked the ripped dude who is a Guardian of the Galaxy.Read more
Playing Genshin Impact's Last Update As Its Villain Was Eye-Opening
22.9.2021
I’ve been building up my Raiden Shogun character so that I could use her to clear Genshin Impact’s latest chapter. She’s the main antagonist of the game’s Inazuma region, so I thought it would be interesting to attack and dethrone god using god herself. Read more

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the newest episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime flattered Dragon Ball Z in spades. In the second to last episode of the anime’s second season, the heroic Veldora started to let his otaku side show by using Goku’s signature...
I Just Read 1,025 Chapters Of One Piece, And It's A Damn Masterpiece
14.9.2021
Only three things in life are certain for a shonen otaku: tournament arcs, Studio Trigger series finales ending in space, and One Piece continuing until the heat death of the universe. I’d made prior attempts to read One Piece, but each time I got too intimidated by its length, which has...

This Game Could Genuinely Turn An Arachnophobe Into A Spider-Lover
10.9.2021
I do not like spiders. I wish I did, because spiders are objectively excellent. They have eight eyes, for goodness sakes. Let alone that they can make webs come out their bums. (Sub, please check.) They are essential for insect control (without them there would be famine), their venom may be useful...
