Last week we brought you the oddity that was the Mohawk Grenade, this week we’re going to step it up a notch. Back in 2010, Kotaku gave the world a great gift to celebrate the new decade: autotuned video games. From the Night Elf Mohawk, Mr T, to the Mushroom Kingdom’s Star Plumber, and all the way down to the slums of Liberty City, we have some wonderful singers. Check out the video below and you’ll understand why I still watch this video five years...
This weeks Watch This gives us some very, very odd feelings. Remember back in 2010 when Blizzard thought putting Mr. T in World of Warcraft through the use of Mohawk Grenades was a good idea? Yeah. Unfortunately we do too. These commercials are some of the most bizarre gaming adverts we’ve seen at any time, and we’re not sure if we’ll ever be as confused as we were back then.
This weeks 20 Questions will be with Ryan Duffin (Senior Animator at DICE) @AnimationMerc You can not look anywhere today without seeing some sort of animation. From a logo on your phone to a commercial about car insurance animations are everywhere and in everything. Animations or the process of creating motion thru a series of pictures has evolved from simple pictures to clay motion, puppet, model, pixilation, 2D, 3D, mechanical, and special effects among many variations of...
Heading in to the theater for my screening of Project Almanac, I had heard very little. The solitary trailer I had seen months earlier had sparked my interest, and the idea of “Chronicle with time travel” sounded compelling enough to give it a go. For the uninitiated, Chronicle was 2012’s highly heralded found-footage style film (Not sure why everyone seems to forget about Cloverfield, although that’s besides the point…) that followed a group of teenagers as they...
This weeks 20 Questions will be with Dan Sheridan (EA UK Marketing Battlefield, BioWare, Need for Speed & Titanfall) @EA_ActionMan. Thoughts of the competition between the UK and the USA— police procedures, living standards, video games, laws, all crossed my mind. I read numerous articles on the all the aforementioned items and found it all quite boring. What I did find very interesting was that while United Kingdom and Canada continue to give tax breaks to game...
Banjo-Kazooie has always been my favorite game series, ever since I unwrapped my Banjo-Toole Nintendo 64 bundle some fifteen years ago on Christmas of 2000, I’ve been in love. Two years ago, the genius’ over at Did You Know Gaming released a Did you know of Banjo-Kazooie; and, after this much time passing I think we could all use a refresher. Check out the video below and let us know what you think in the comments.
Evolve is the upcoming multiplayer first person shooter title from Turtle Rock Studio, the team behind the Left 4 Dead series gamers have come to know and love. The premise is simple: four players or “hunters” are tasked with hunting down a huge disastrous monster before the player in charge of the monster eats enough wild life to become powerful enough to destroy the hunter’s base or kill all four hunters. It plays as a sort of backwards cat-and-mouse type...

In the world of fictional hangouts and cool kid clubhouses, Club Nintendo was the last great online reward service in town. Offering players “coins” for registering their games, fans who racked up enough of the currency could redeem them for prizes both physical and digital including posters, t-shirts, digital games, and occasionally rare statues and other acclaimed prizes. Recently, though, the Club N has begun to slow down its rewards to the point of...
