The "K" is there so it sounds like "Ko" (little) and "Otaku", "Little Otaku". Kotaku has its roots with reporting game news from Japan to the US audience.

Who would've thought dressing as a Yu Gi Oh villain would cause you to lose the finals against a kid using a cute mascot monster?

Hey it's not like Pikachu evolves either

If you read accounts of WW2 tank battles between say, Shermans vs Tigers, the kill ratio of Gundam isn't that unusual.

Probably darker, his Nausicaa manga had a ton of violence like people being eaten by bugs, blown up by cannon fire, and so on.

Mamoro Oshi joke that Miyazaki just wants to tell stories filled with darkness and violence.

ah, the infamous "Beer battered Fish' incident

WHOAH, this has been the first piece of Einhander fanart I've ever seen!

The games I grew up in were diverse without being back-patting about it. It's important to have a wide array of cool characters from all around the world to choose from. But it shouldn't feel force. Series like Street Fighter and Tekken achieved this in a stylish manner.

If anything, games today feel less diverse with…

The Raiden mode shows how radically different the game can get with just a small change with the usable character! I hope MGSV:PP has playable cyborgs in online play...

Gears of War is the only FPS I've played that feels like a run n' gun SNES game. It's more focused on being wacky and huge than super grim realizms. I just have more fun shooting giant mutants with blastoise cannons than yet another terrorist.

What else is amazing is Chad "Gammon" Walker's artwork, check it out:

Wolverine is 5' 2", he's shorter than every woman in the X-Men... but artists tend to still draw him as taller than them.

He... should be working for Udon :0

Thumbs up for art

Legs like a penguin, it's a dreadnought alright.

Hey that's Super Mario RPG, not Super Mario JRPG!

Here's the mask I used in Beijing. It's living the sci fi dystopian future, today!

>>Kotaku is for gamers of any ethnicity

A lot of Kotaku articles feel hostile to Asia though, or takes a condescending view of Asian opinions.

"Was this designed by a cheap to hire 14 year old boy?"
