From the country that mastered latteart, comes grated radish art. It's cute and pointless. And that's what makes it so damn wonderful.

Even Find Mii Gets a Super Smash Bros. Cameo
by Owen Good
Nintendo has shrewdly delivered fan service with its announcements of characters and cameos for Super Smash Bros., from Mega Man to The Villager to Wii Fit Trainer. The latest tease, from creator Masahiro Sakurai, will appeal to fans of StreetPass' RPG Find Mii. It's the Dark Lord!

How To Share PS4 Screenshots Without Spamming Your Friends
by Kirk Hamilton
DsiderThis was NOT how I expected the Share feature to be limited. SonY I am disappoint
The PlayStation 4 was built with sharing in mind. There's even a "share" button on the controller, for crying out loud. But at the moment, it can be kind of difficult to access your shared stuff without spamming your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

by Luke Plunkett
The Glorious PC Master Race cares not for your console launches. A combination of a holiday weekend in the US, a big sale and the service's ever-growing popularity means 7 million people were using Steam at the same time on Sunday, a new record.

Rude Cosplayers Pissing Off Park Visitors in Japan
by Brian Ashcraft
Shuzenji Niji no Sato is a park in Shizuoka, Japan. And it's not happy with some ill-mannered cosplayers. If the situation doesn't improve, cosplay photography could be banned.

Amazon Cardboard Boxes Make a Beautiful Buddhist Temple
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderThis makes me feel like a horrible person.
What do you do with your Amazon cardboard boxes? Throw them away? An individual in Japan turned them into a one of Japan's most famous temples, the Byodoin.

Artists at Rovio were asked to mix Angry Birds with other games, and this Street Fighter mashup is what Javier Burgos came up with. Awesome coloring! And he really had to make those birds look upset to avoid mockery.

by Gergo Vas
DsiderWhen this becomes a *feature* in basketball games, I might be interested.
Playing with the Houston Rockets shouldn't mean blasting off like a shuttle across the basketball court. That's the glitchy, NBA 2K14 way of avoiding interviews. But hey, at least they've got LeBron's running speed correct!

The Sad Truth Behind Classic Video Games
by Luke Plunkett
Peel back the story and art and most games are incredibly simple. A test of reflexes, some rudimentary mechanics. We live most of our lives oblivous to this man behind the curtain, but sometimes it pays to peel it back and remember that Sonic really is little but holding right except sometimes.

It's Easy To Cross The Line With Skyrim Mods
by Gergo Vas
DsiderShenanigans and Battletoads aside, if I could actually have Midna accompanying me through it, I would have gotten to Skyrim sooner.
Once you've installed a few, there's no going back. Eventually, you might end up with a setup like this, breaking the game's lore and theme as badly as possible. Even Sven, one of the NPC followers, realizes that something's not right.

When Video Game Bugs Are The End Of The World
by Luke Plunkett
Most video game glitches and bugs make it pretty clear they're a bug. You'll get flashing colours, or breaking objects, that sort of stuff. This Assassin's Creed IV hiccup, on the other hand, could be a bug. Or...it could also be the end of days.

Kinect "Inventors" Get Bought By Apple

Israeli company PrimeSense, who did a lot of the heavy lifting in the design of the original Kinect, have been bought out. Not by Microsoft, but by Apple.

Persona 5 Announced for the PS3
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderThe real joke is that I'm a slave to Persona, like the others who waited out until 6-7 in the morning to get this news.
Atlus has finally (finally!) made an official announcement regarding Persona 5. It's headed to the PlayStation 3 next winter in Japan. Here's the game's teaser trailer.

They say that everything has a price—and this axiom apparently includes Xbox One achievements, judging from recent eBay listings.

The Most Dramatic Dinner Plates Will Emphasize Your Meal

How to transform boring french fries and pancakes (the pancake below is actually not that boring) into the most dramatic part of your dining room? The obvious answer is to serve them on special manga plates that'll make your meal part of the—heavily emotional—panels.

This glitch in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will get your character stuck in MMO emote hell, as you can see in the above GIF. To get similar results with a frozen upper torso, type "/sit," then press the emote and the "w" buttons simultaneously. If you get lucky, you won't fly away completely.

Tearaway: The Kotaku Review

If The Pokémon Professors Were Rated By Their Students
by Patricia Hernandez
Ever use the website 'Rate My Professors'? It's exactly what it sounds like—a website where students can rate their professors. It's also not something that exists in the world of Pokemon. But if it did? The most popular pages might look a little bit like these Dorkly comics.

Every Persona Fan's Worst Nightmare
by Jason Schreier
DsiderI've gotta admit, that's a really impressive monstrosity. One must possess an incredibly twisted mind to come up with such a thing.
On Sunday, Atlus will announce something Persona-related. They've been teasing it for a while now, and lots of fans are starting to get stoked that Atlus might finally—finally!—announce Persona 5, the in-development next entry in the wonderful RPG series.

Ghost In The Shell: Arise's Newest Ad Is A 3-Minute Mini-Episode
by Gergo Vas
DsiderSeems like the music is slightly less shitty if this semi-ad is anything to go by. Everything else is still looking fantastic so far. Do yourself a favor and don't look at the comments.
The four-part OVA series, Ghost in the Shell: Arise doesn't even feign hiding product placement and ads. Two weeks before the premiere of the second part of the series, Production I.G has released an exclusive mini-episode, which basically is an ad for a Japanese company. But it's still three minutes of new GitS footage!

More Than 200 Music Tracks From Pokémon X And Y For Only $10

DsiderNot a huge deal for anyone else, but a big step forward for Nintendo. MOAR PLOX
The recent release of Pokémon X and Y didn't just give the game a graphical overhaul. The music is better than ever before as well, and now you can buy all 3.5 hours' worth of it on iTunes for a piddling $9.99.

The Best Video Game Music Of The Last Generation
by Kirk Hamilton
DsiderNeedless to say, great noms in the comments.
There may be no one part of a game that connects to our memories as immediately or intensely as music. Of course we remember a game's music: Those were the melodies that accompanied us on adventures in other worlds, through trials and triumphs, through victory and defeat. A musical score exists outside of visuals and gameplay; it's the closest thing a video game has to a scent.
