A Surprise First Look At The New Homeworld Game

Shipbreakers, the first new game in the Homeworld series since the year 2000, has barely been seen since it was first unveiled back in 2011. So it’s both neat—and a little surprising—to finally see some footage of the project. Neat because Homeworld is great! Surprising because we’re not seeing it in a big trailer or…

Someone Made A Kendrick Lamar Super Mario Bros. Mash-Up

Made by an Australian Soundcloud user victorylaptop, it’s the lyrics of Kendrick Lamar’s “King Kunta”, mixed up with the classic 8-bit theme of Super Mario Bros., and it just works perfectly. It’s not a proper mash-up without a pun, so the track is called… Kendrick Lamario Bros. To contact the author of this post, write…

Minecraft Player’s Pretty Good at Castles

This looks way way way better than my castles, which are basically stone blocks with teeth. It’s why I mostly stick to the tried-and-true Crappy Wooden Rectangle™ houses nowadays. Anyway, this pretty castle. It was built by Xidus933, who’s submitted several castles to r/minecraft in the past—this being the most recent and most well-received. Xidus…

Inside the Nintendo Building Few Outsiders Ever See

Eight years ago, Kotaku reader Daniel sent us a YouTube clip where he waltzes right into Nintendo’s original Kyoto headquarters. Even now, it’s a fascinating peek into a historic building that isn’t open to the general public. Since YouTube took the original clip down because it had a “Stephen Colbert” tag (Daniel used to tag…

Persona 4: Dancing All Night is Just as Fun at the Arcade

I really enjoyed Persona 4: Dancing All Night. And so did Fahey. But as fun as it was on the Vita, there’s something special about playing it on a giant arcade cabinet. When playing Persona 4: Dancing All Night a few months back, something struck me as very familiar—namely the interface. After all, if you…

Metal Gear Style Robberies Sure Look Goofy

For the past two years, a 40-something year-old man has allegedly robbed over 180 different locations across South Korea. If true, how did he evade capture? Stealth, it seems. According to Korean TV media (here and here), the suspect, who is surnamed Choi, allegedly made off with over $60,000 worth of goods during his two-year…

How To Make A Last Minute Cosplay

Being up at 3am on the morning of the convention still gluing things to your costume is basically a cosplayer’s rite of passage, but even last minute costumes don’t have to be that painful.

Metal Gear Solid V Looks Beautiful When It Breaks

What you’re seeing here isn’t a mod, or a tweak. It’s a bug, which kingoddball KOB discovered while trying to play Metal Gear Online on PS4, that means most of the game world’s textures simply fail to load. I wish it was a mod, though, or a settings option, because it looks great! Like a…

Turning The Batmobile Into A Batsuit

Jason Mark is a character artist at Ubisoft, where he’s worked on games like Far Cry 4 and the upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege. That Batman pic is interesting: the idea is that it takes, as Mark puts it, “some of the design elements from the Tumbler and reimagines the Batmobile as more of a DaVinci…

Counter-Strike Player Wins Match By Climbing On Opponent’s Head

I feel genuinely bad for the person this happened to. Imagine this: one second, you’re creeping around corners, scanning your surroundings for any hint of movement, any telltale sign of life looking to stop you cold. A flashbang goes off, and you use the momentary distraction to scamper to a perfect position. Everything is going…

Origin PC EON17-X Gaming Laptop: the Kotaku Review

With a desktop processor and a Nvidia G-Sync display panel, Origin PC’s EON17-X laptop is getting dangerously close to my gaming PC’s spec. That’s no exaggeration. The EON17-X model Origin PC sent me to test out features an Intel Core i7 4790K CPU—newer models of the system released since I received the unit come with…
