I spent roughly three hours playing Hyper Scape and I spent most of it on the loading screen. Ubisoft has built a wonderful works with satisfying mechanics, but all of it is wasted because of the battle royale format. I did eke out a win in my second solo match and it felt good... but mostly, I just missed Quake 3…

quick guesses: to annoy the neighbours less? or to add elevation so the kinect can more easily read movements?

The Freddycoaster in VRchat is a wild experience.

warning: profanity in video

the angry overgrown capybara strikes again.

The Skye House situation is all kinds of yikes. Immensely sad justice has taken so long.

Nick Denton is now a mere millionaire, sitting on about $14 million dollars (as per the Hulk Hogan v Nick Denton settlement in 2017). Having lost the blogging platform he spent so much to build, Denton left the blogging business to go to app development. Since 2018, Denton has been working on a “storytelling app”.

it’s true! The terms of the Nintendo / Atari partnership deal specified that Atari would pay royalties for every AVS (the then-title of the worldwide Famicom version) sold, but Atari would have free reign to market and brand it as their own.

The deal was undone, of all things, by the COLECO’s Adam…

the kotaku podcast team (Kirk Hamilton, Maddy Myers, Heather Alexandra) and the god-tier Jason Schrier have all left Kotaku in the past six months. Paul Tamayo and Tim Rogers — the video review team — have left as well. Rogers, to start his own studio/blog, Tamayo seems to be heading to Polygon to join Patricia…

Brilliant longform piece, exactly the type we would see more of if a certain herbacious feller would kindly stop slashing budgets.

while Fallout 1 was hardly grounded itself, Fallout 2 seriously split the playerbase. Then Interplay stuffed the corpse of the series and made it animatronic with two spinoffs from unrelated studios (Tactics, and Brotherhood of Steel) before selling the rights to Bethesda.

holy shit

Bun’s uh.... vociferous ‘defense’ of drawn lewds of underage characters is definitely A Yike.
