Enormous Minecraft Art Is Reaching For The Heavens

It took gmoff01around 80 hours to build this in Minecraft. It’s made of 70,000 blocks of quartz. For those wondering about the details, no, he didn’t build the entire thing by hand, in the sense that he didn’t mine each block manually then walk along placing each one.

Plush Pokémon Should Not Be $80 And Make Me Cry

I offer a picture of me during happier times, before my new best friend Popplio and I took a trip to the Toys’R’Us price scanner. We first met at the toy store on Saturday evening, as I was hunting for Christmas gifts that could survive more than an hour of play with two five-year-olds without…

Adidas, Make These Zelda Sneakers

As part of his application process for a design internship with Adidas, student Paxton Porter—a lover of both sneakers and The Legend of Zelda—came up with these designs.

Dishonored 2’s New Game Plus Is Really Good

I finished Dishonored 2 last weekend and immediately jumped into a New Game Plus. Turns out it’s a fantastic, downright essential addition to the game.

If you play games, you’ve thought about which voice actor you want to narrate your daily goings-on. For me, it’s GLaDOS. She’s reciting a fruit tart recipe. For Kotaku reader Chad Oliver, it’s The Stanley Parable’s Kevan Brighting, and he’s narrating his marriage proposal. On Oliver and his now-fiancee Morgaine’s 8-year anniversary in November, Oliver…

The Rise of Japanese Geek Tattoos

From anime girls to abstract shapes, Japanese tattooing has changed. Or has it? Throughout my book Japanese Tattoos, a wide variety of classic motifs are presented. Some of them are well over a thousand years old, while others are much newer. Japan’s visual vocabulary is not static. Irezumi (Japanese for tattoos) aren’t, either. They’re as…

EVE Player Acts Like A Jerk About Secret Santa, Gets Sent 6,000 Pieces Of In-Game Coal

In games as in life, it’s not a great idea to complain about Secret Santa presents. In the wake of a recent fan-organized EVE Online Secret Santa event, one player wasn’t too pleased with the gift he received—a skin for a Purifier ship—and decided to voice his frustrations publicly. “I don’t even use fucking Purifiers,”…

The Best Teams For Overwatch’s 3v3 Elimination Mode

Overwatch’s 3 vs. 3 Elimination mode, out since November, turns on its head everything we know about team composition. Heroes beloved in 6 vs. 6 Quick Play and Competitive modes, like Lucio and Torbjorn, are damn near useless in 3 vs. 3, where your priorities are a bit different. That makes composing a viable team…
