An Old-School Batman Voice Clip Is Hiding In A Bunch Of Your Favorite Games
25.4.2022
Did you know that the “let’s go” voice clip in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike was pulled from the 1960s Batman television series? I sure didn’t, and being confronted with this apparently well-known fact over the weekend sent me tumbling down a rabbit hole of video game sample usage.Read more

20.4.2022
It has been nine years since I last wrote about a Robotech/Macross board game on this website, and I feel like that is far too long, so thankfully I’m getting the chance to revisit the subject with a new tabletop experience.Read more
Report: Streets Of Rage Film Happening, Script By John Wick Creator
19.4.2022
2022 continues to offer up headlines that seem like they were created by a rogue AI learning how to play Mad Libs. Today’s example: It’s reported that, following the continued success of the Sonic films, Sega and dj2 Entertainment are working with the writer of John Wick on a movie adaptation...
Elden Ring Summon Has A Cool Secret Ability Most People Won’t See
13.4.2022
While handy as backup against bosses, Elden Ring’s summons can be pretty brainless for the most part. But one particularly crafty spirit ash is worth finishing a short quest to acquire, if only to see her unique interactions with the wildlife of the Lands Between.Read more

The Art Of Apollo 10½ Is A Space Age Wonder
11.4.2022
It’s kinda flown under the radar a little, maybe because it launched straight to Netfflix, but Richard Linklater’s Apollo 10½ came out earlier this month and is, if nothing else, a very cool visual record of a very certain point in time.Read more
Hello Yaddle, Goodbye Weekends
11.4.2022
The recently released Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is great. One of my favorite games of 2022 and the best Star Wars game ever made. Even if it didn’t include Yaddle, I’d still love this game. But it does include Yaddle. It only took 20 years, three blogs, and my entire run as weekend editor...
New Epic And Lego Project Will Inflict The Metaverse On Children
7.4.2022
Right now, every company in the world is scrambling to announce something with the word “metaverse” in its pitch. Scrambling because it’s essential this be done before anyone actually works out what a “metaverse” might be, and all the wind comes out of it like stale air from a forgotten Whoopee...
A Look At A Script For The Cancelled Deus Ex Movie
7.4.2022
Did you know it has been ten years since a Deus Ex movie was announced? What once seemed a natural step, a big-screen adaptation of a triumphantly resurgent video game franchise, ended up being nothing of the sort as the series floundered through publisher mismanagement and the film itself ended...
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, As Told By Steam Reviews
6.4.2022
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is exactly what it says on the tin. The open-world action game is TT Games’ latest entry in the Lego Star Wars series, and it’s pure nostalgia for anyone who grew up watching the Star Wars movies. It’s reviewed very well for being faithful to the movies ahumorous...
The Next Generation Of Video Game Graphics Is Looking Pretty Good
5.4.2022
We’ve seen an eye-popping gorgeous tech demo for a not-real game that I totally wish was real. We’ve seen Keanu Reeves (‘90s edition) alongside Keanu Reeves (modern-day edition). We’ve seen…a beard. But today, Epic Games presented by far the biggest look into its Unreal 5 3D creation engine, which...
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: The Kotaku Review
4.4.2022
I love Star Wars, like a lot. Since the movies first excited my imagination I’ve spent far too much money on this franchise, buying up games, books, comics, and Lego sets. So, understand that what I’m about to say comes from a place of pure love and care: Star Wars is really silly and dumb....
Making Your Own Kaneda Bike From Akira Seems Hard
1.4.2022
YouTuber Ayato has a big project on his hands: making a DIY Kaneda bike from Akira. The Kaneda bike is one of the most iconic bikes in anime—no, make that popular culture writ large. There are numerous Kaneda bike projects on YouTube, but in my opinion, this one is the best. In a series of clips...
Sonic The Hedgehog 2's Official Sneaker Collab Is Not Great
1.4.2022
Let’s imagine it’s Saturday morning. You drive up to your local Aldi parking lot, you get out of your car, you walk inside. Mostly to get some cheap groceries, but also partially so you can saunter up and down the middle aisles, perusing the special buys that are currently on rotation. Maybe you’ll...

Damn, Elden Ring Doesn't Even Let You Die In Peace
29.3.2022
I should know better by now; I should expect that anyone I meet in Elden Ring will either straight-up suck or have some kind of tragic storyline that will desiccate my bones in existential dread. Probably, I should be killing every NPC I see just to save myself the anguish, leaving only the Turtle...

Elden Ring Bleeding Glitch Makes Some Dogs Its Most Dangerous Enemies
25.3.2022
I previously went on and on about the wildlife in Elden Ring, explaining how its bears, wolves, and birds often pose a larger problem for me than its otherworldly bosses. But a group of bloody dogs put everything else in the game to shame.Read more
