I never played Gwent prior to this beta, but am a longtime fan of Hearthstone and other card games. The 3-round format is intriguing, and definitely offers up a lot of possibilities for setting up the remainder of a game and playing mind games with the opponent. However, without prior Witcher experience, I found the…

Kinda unrelated, but this post made me think of it... Is the Kotaku Shop Contest ever coming back?

Ornstein & Smough to replace Ice Climbers. One gets stronger when the other is knocked off the stage.

The Red Walking Dead: all new Zombie-centric campaign! Team based survival mode! (Wild West DLC TBA)

Sometimes people enjoy games for reasons that don’t always line up with your own perspective, and I think it’s super important to respect that when introducing an SO to games. Personal experience- my wife’s first Pokémon game was Heart Gold. She played that game inside and out, rightfully so, it’s great. But she never…

It’s true that this was built up better in the first series. However, I feel like Brotherhood flew through a lot of the events that already transpired in the first show in order to spend more time on new stuff. If you’re already emotionally invested in the characters from watching the earlier series, these things…

If the real Vader was commenting on this, I'm pretty sure his response would sound equally grumpy.

Absolutely perfect.

I took a break after Cataclysm, just felt burnt out by then. Skipped Pandaria and Warlords when they were happening, and just came back roughly 2 months ago. It’s been interesting catching up now, because while Pandaria definitely seems enticingly beautiful with a lot to see and discover, I went from 85 to 90 without…

This unholy union truly is nightmare fuel. Thanks for taking one for the team.

I often leave the game running while driving to and from work in the morning, which involves a lot of stop-and-start, and it usually picks up some distance on eggs by the time I get to where I’m going. This would support the theory that there’s a “sweet spot” in speed that it likes to register.

Good stuff! Reminds me a bit of Nico Touches the Walls or maybe a stripped down Asian Kung Fu Generation.

I’m also quite a fan of the Cleansing Chapel bonfire room. SO MANY CHAIRS.

It’s not a full game release, so it probably doesn't warrant a spot on the list, but the new Hearthstone expansion comes out on Tuesday in North America.

The NX is launching with Super Mario RPG 2 as a launch title. It includes SMRPG HD as a bonus in the Day 1 edition.

Do ya like Bailey’s?

Super impressive. One thing I wasn't able to pick up on from the video- does the program analyze the best combo to clear the floor, or just prioritize the most matches? In some situations, based on your team or based on the enemy, it could be more beneficial to match 5 sets of 3 orbs. In others, it makes more sense to…

Meanwhile, at Bugie HQ...

Don't ever change, Punk.

I just moved from Wilkes-Barre about 3 months ago, and would shop at that Target quite frequently. This is... a strange story to read.
