I make videos for Kotaku. I make video games for myself and my friends. I like writing fiction. Someday I will publish a novel. Who knows!
Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite video games of this decade. As its sequel looms on the horizon, I replayed Red Dead Redemption. I wrote, narrated, and edited this 32-minute short film which summarizes the game’s story with period-appropriate narration.
This week Sony finally announced that PlayStation Network users will be able to change their IDs in the near future. To commemorate this occasion, I asked people on Twitter to tweet five online Game Person Names at me, four of which were fake, and one of which was real. On this week’s Kotaku XP, Gita and I sorted…
This week, Harry Potter fans screamed twice: first, upon the leaked video of an apparent open-world Hogwarts game in development, and secondly at JK Rowling, after she once again amended plot details of her series via a reply to someone else’s tweet. Gita loves Harry Potter, and drunk people used to yell “You’re a…
We are playing Trails in the Sky on our Twitch channel! I have always wanted to play it, and there’s no motivation for doing something you have always wanted to do than making it part of your job! Yell at me in the chat!
We are playing Super Mario Party on Kotaku’s Twitch page. Watch us play! Also get in the chat and see if you can yell louder with capital letters than we will be yelling into the microphones.
I have played 40 hours of Forza Horizon 4. I love it. I made a 22-minute video about how much I love it.
As far as Gita and I were concerned, only one video game news story happened this week: Bowsette. We declared on Twitter earlier this week that we’d do a whole episode of Kotaku XP devoted to her. We didn’t realize until yesterday that we needed a full hour to talk about her. If you’d like, you can call this week’s…
We’re streaming the new Forza Horizon 4 live on Twitch with Kristen Lee from Jalopnik and Tim Rogers. Join us in chat!
Forza Horizon 4, much like Halo, is a Microsoft Product. Where there’s brands there’s synergy, so of course Forza Horizon 4 has a Halo-themed race in it. I played this Halo-themed race, and made a video about it.
Capcom closed the Dead Rising development studio, we know someone who played Red Dead Redemption 2, one of us played a lot of Forza Horizon 4, Nintendo finally let us pay $20 for NES games on the Switch, and Sony announced they’re releasing a mini baby PlayStation. If it’s a hot video game news topic, we talk about it…
I played Torna: The Golden Country, the new Xenoblade Chronicles 2 expansion. I made a video in which I break down what I consider to be seven interesting points.
We’re streaming the new Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle live on Twitch. Join us in chat!
I played the demo of the Yakuza team’s new game Judge Eyes. I had an extremely good time. I made a video about the experience.

I played Shadow of the Tomb Raider for six hours. I condensed my experience into this 30-minute video.
Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 is out, we’ve got thoughts about Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion, Nintendo delayed their Nintendo Direct because of an earthquake in Japan, Henry Cavill is playing Geralt in Netflix’s The Witcher series, and we’ve confirmed that Master Chief’s suit in Halo does not have an auto-masturbation…
It’s understandable if Dragon Quest XI is your first Dragon Quest—there hasn’t been a new single-player home console entry in the series since 2004. It’s equally understandable if the ocean of old-fashioned menus and battle mechanics crammed into this 100-hour game terrifies you. Well, I’ve been loving Dragon Quest…
Dragon Quest XI is the best game in the 32-year-old series.
Blizzard added D.Va’s hometown of Busan, Korea to Overwatch. I happen to have been there in real life many times. Gita and I talk about it today on Kotaku XP, our weekly discussion of hot video game topics.
