Forget Those Big Space Games For A Moment
by Luke Plunkett
While big projects like Star Citizen an Elite: Dangerous are getting all the money (and press attention), they aren't the only space games you should be keeping an eye on. There's also Enemy Starfighter, which for months has been looking very, very cool.

I Don't Think The Human Face Is Supposed To Do That
by Toshi Nakamura
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is famous for its unique art style with characters making fabulous poses that cosplayers love to mimic. One underappreciated aspect of the manga is the interesting facial expressions. Underappreciated, except by one man.

3D-Printed Pokémon Is All About Charm
by Gergo Vas
That's a pretty accurately designed 24" long Onix that dug itself up out of Amphygory Design's 3D printers. According to the creators, it's quite flexible, so unlike other 3D-printed Pokémon figurines, this one can be displayed the way Onix appears in the games or the anime.

$500 Aluminum Nintendo Console Is A Thing Of Beauty
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderGorgeous, but completely unnecessary in every sense of the word. Could never ever justify spending that kind of money on such a thing.
This is the Analogue NT. It's a console that'll play both NES and Famicom cartridges. Think of it as an unofficial Nintendo console for design-conscious, affluent grown-ups.

300-Foot Water Slide Looked Like The Perfect Sunday
by Luke Plunkett
Hey, remember how back in March artist Luke Jerram was raising money to build a 300-foot water slide down a busy street in Bristol, England? He actually got it done.

Zelda's Temple of Time, Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 4
by Gergo Vas
The Wii U might not get as many Unreal Engine 4 games as we'd like, and so animator Michael Eurek thought it would be a great idea to recreate the Temple of Time from the Legend of Zelda games, just to show how good an HD Zelda game would look like in 2014.

UPS Just Delivered a $400,000 Drone to Some Dude by Mistake
by Ashley Feinberg
No one's perfect, least of all UPS. But as far as mistakes go, this is just about as bad—and expensive—as it gets. Thanks to one hell of a mixup, Reddit user Seventy_Seven just got a $400,000 unmanned aerial vehicle delivered straight to his doorstep. Talk about service.

Fighting For Gay Marriage In A Nintendo Game
by Jason Schreier
DsiderA commendable effort, but again, I would care more if it were for, well, a far less shittastic game. I suppose they had to start somewhere, though.
A new video game from Nintendo lets you have relationships and marriages... but only with people of the opposite gender. And at least one person wants to help change that.

Exactly The Colorful 3D Platformer I Was Looking For
by Mike Fahey
DsiderBeen seeing this pop up over the last few months, hoping it turns out well.
Whenever I get to feeling nostalgic about the 3D platformer-saturated days of the Nintendo 64 and PS1, Gears for Breakfast's upcoming PC game A Hat In Time arrives to cheer me up with a new trailer and fresh screens.

Harmonix Is Bringing Back One Of Their Best Music Games On Kickstarter
by Evan Narcisse
DsiderPretty cool, and I won't need to buy a fuckload of plastic instruments if it happens!
Before they made people boogie in living rooms with Dance Central or shred plastic guitars with Rock Band, the people at Harmonix made Amplitude, a fantastic, underappreciated rhythm game for the PS2. Folks have been asking for more Amplitude for a long, long time now. Those fans might be getting their wish.

There's already been a Persona 4 animated series.
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderWell, I've gotta say I'm glad I didn't go out of the way to pick up the first series now. The little bit of animation I'm seeing here looks a lot better.
People can poke fun all they want (and justifiably so) at this thing getting remade so soon, but I'm guessing they learned a lot from the original series and the P3 movies, and now they want to show it off.
There's already been a Persona 4 animated series. Now there's another one, adding in the extra content seen only in the Vita re-release of the game.

Taipei To Fine People Glued To Smartphones While Crossing The Street
by Eric Jou
DsiderBEST NEW LAW
Looking to make crossing the street a little safer, Taiwanese legislators have proposed fining pedestrians who cross the street while "distracted" by mobile phones. The proposed law will fine any pedestrian deemed "distracted" about $10 for each infraction!

Redditor LPain01 took some amazing screenshots of the World of Warcraft zones, using the Free Far Si
by Gergo Vas
DsiderThey really stepped up their terrain game from WotLK and beyond, but you can still see that some older maps have their muddier textures and layouts. The main continents must all look fantastic now though, since the maps have been made seamless due to flying mounts.
Unfortunately I have to see fucking pandas or pandaland whenever they do these collections of things, so that's always fun.
Redditor LPain01 took some amazing screenshots of the World of Warcraft zones, using the Free Far Sight tool to double his in-game view distance. They really have an RTS feel, but I don't even want to think about that. Look below for shots of Pandaria, The Barrens, Durotar, Nagrand, Grizzly Hills, Stormwind and more.

Street Fighter's Guile Wasn't Really In The Military
by Steve Marinconz
DsiderThey've done a lot of these so far, but linking this one because I thought it was a little better than decent. I also like the nice touch of how one of his flag tattoos is backwards, for obvious reasons.
Pete Holmes has pointed out several issues with the tactics other Street Fighter characters use, but there was no need to even go that far with one look at Guile's military qualifications.

12 Weirdest Shows That People Watch Inside Cartoons
by Jason Krell on Animation, shared by András Neltz to Kotaku
Cartoons are often filled with messages, and they're presented in all kinds of ways. Sometimes the best way is to frame a story within another story. It can come off heavy-handed and other times the subtlety is superb, but it's a popular option nonetheless. And while not every instance is good, the following 12 are some classic examples of a great cartoon within a cartoon.

Blu-Ray Is Dying
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderWith the revelations from last night, as I learned that it would save me more money in the long run to actually invest in a region-free player, I'm not sad to hear this.
It was once the future! A shiny (sort of) new physical media that would let us store so many gigabytes of data on our discs that we wouldn't know what to do with it all! So it may surprise you to learn that Blu-Ray is already on the downward slide.

Looks Like No One Lives Forever Is Finally Getting A Re-Release
by Kirk Hamilton
DsiderWell guess it's now a possibility to see what these games got all that praise for.
And lo, the clouds parted, and the sun shone down, and a game studio known for re-releasing classic PC games filed for a trademark on one of the great lost video game series of our age.
