by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderWe've gone too deep
This is Toraware no Paruma (Captive Palm). It’s about a young man who has lost his memory. It seems, you can play it like this. Neato!

Why Rika Is The Best Character In Digimon
by Doc Burford
DsiderLIKE I'VE BEEN SAYING
By the time Digimon Tamers aired, I was growing out of cartoons, or so I thought. Tamers was an impressive feat for an after-school cartoon, a surprisingly mature, more grounded take on the Digimon series, and that’s thanks in a large part to the show’s best character: Rika Nonaka.

League Of Legends' Free "Art Book" Is Incredible
by Luke Plunkett
It’s usually the case that if you’re a fan of a video game and want to check out its concept art, you either look at some images online or you pay a lot of money for a big fancy book
. League of Legends is trying to combine the two, releasing what amounts to a big fancy art book, only as a website, and it’s 100% free.

The Internet Reacts To Pokémon Sun and Moon's New Snorlax
by Patricia Hernandez
By now you probably know about Pokémon Sun and Moon’s preorder bonus, which gives you access to a Snorlax with a special move called Pulverizing Pancake. Turns out, waking Snorlax up can get pretty ugly in Alola.

Pokémon Go's Buddy System Will Let You Have Special Time With Your Favorite Monster
by Patricia Hernandez
DsiderI haven't been playing for a while now, but I'm happy about this nonetheless
While it has been rumored for a while now thanks to data miners, Niantic finally acknowledged an upcoming feature that will let you have more one-on-one time with Pokémon.

Why Half-Life 2 Doesn't Live Up To Its Predecessor
by Doc Burford
DsiderI was waiting for something like this to read. Every time I've tried to get into HL2 I've fallen off, because I just didn't feel compelled. And to people who defend it simply on its merits as a shootmans... that's great and I respect that, but the problem is I'm not into shootmans. A good enough narrative can keep me invested with mediocre-to-great gameplay, but I never really found it in here.
You’re probably wondering what’s taking Valve, a company with nigh-infinite resources, forever to make Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Or you’ve given up on that and you believe it’s going to be called Half-Life 3. The sad truth is that we will never see another Half-Life game from Valve, and for one very good reason: its most important character is dead.

Look At The Size Of This Overwatch Cosplay
by Luke Plunkett on Cosplay, shared by Luke Plunkett to Kotaku
DsiderFUCK
Egg Sisters have been absolutely dominating Dragon Con with this Reinhardt, which despite looking like an enormous statue is actually a cosplay outfit that can turn, wave its arms and even walk.

Russian Blogger Charged With 'Inciting Hatred' After Playing Pokémon Go in Church
by Hudson Hongo on Gizmodo, shared by Luke Plunkett to Kotaku
DsiderYou do realize that even without that draconian and unjust law, it's extremely disrespectful to mess around on a smartphone in a place of worship in the first place, right? You fucking idiot.
On Saturday, Russian officials announced that atheist vlogger Ruslan Sokolovsky has been detained for two months for “inciting hatred” and “insulting religious feelings” after posting a video of himself playing Pokémon Go inside a historic cathedral. He reportedly faces up to five years in jail if convicted.

The Importance Of Anime In Persona 5
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderNo WONDER the cutscenes look so much better now. They're not fucking around with the quality anymore.
Persona 5 looks terrific. Especially the animated sequences by famed studio Production I.G, perhaps best known for The Ghost in the Shell anime.

Over 81,000 Falling Dominoes Recreate the Greatest Super Mario Game of All Time
by Andrew Liszewski on Sploid, shared by Riley MacLeod to Kotaku
The greatest Super Mario game of all time (you’re simply wrong if you think otherwise) finally gets the domino tribute it deserves. YouTube’s TheDominoKing spent an entire month setting up 81,032 dominoes to display scenes from Super Mario World as they topple.

Ever, Jane Will Bring Jane Austen's Wit To An MMORPG
by Cecilia D'Anastasio
Dsiderwhat
Talking—and talking well—is the weapon of choice in the MMO Ever, Jane. In its open beta, the Jane Austen-themed game, not to be released for another year, brought me back to a time when graphics, game mechanics and avatar customization were secondary to how well virtual-world residents could write.

Made for Ludum Dare 36, No Mario’s Sky is the Last Mario You Will Ever Need™. Okay, that may be an exaggeration but it is full of mushrooms, coins, goombas, rocket ships, and more!

Ash From Pokémon Is Insanely Strong
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderAlright, this is a fair point. Also, I didn't know that Serena was also a contest performer in the anime. She certainly has the best taste in roster choices (those three she has were all in my Pokemon X team).
Okay, so Ash is a big loser as a Pokémon Trainer. But damn, that kid is a physical marvel.

No, Steam Isn't Offering 'Special Exemptions' For No Man's Sky Refunds
by Nathan Grayson
No Man’s Sky is not the game a lot of people wanted it to be
. Over the weekend, people sought refunds en masse, and many reported that retailers like Amazon, Steam, and PSN offered unconditional or nearly unconditional refunds. That’s not entirely true.

The Floor Is Lava In Klei's First 3D Game
by Mike Fahey
DsiderIt just had to be in first person. Goddammit.
Chances are you’ve already played Hot Lava, the first 3D game from Klei Entertainment of Don’t Starve and Invisible, Inc. fame. It’s the video game version of the perennial children’s imagination game with only one rule: don’t touch the floor.

Ko Takeuchi Is The Master Of Nerd Culture Doodles
by Ben Bertoli
DsiderIt's weird to be ahead of the curve on this thing
You may not know his name, but chances are you’ve seen some of Ko Takeuchi’s art. Best known for his simple designs and bold lines, Takeuchi has helped shape the look of both the WarioWare and Rhythm Heaven series. He also draws a lot of nerdy icons, memes, and adorable characters in his spare time.

Why Final Fantasy XV Was Recently Delayed
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderThe important part is at the end: "there actually might be players who do not download a day-one patch. The delay is to get the game in good shape for all players at release."
Not relying on day-one patches! In 2016! That deserves some applause, Squenix.
Final Fantasy XV was delayed
earlier this month. It will now be released in late November. (Fingers crossed!) If you were wondering why, director Hajime Tabata recently shed some light on the situation.

Only Bob Ross Can Soothe Fallout 4's Savage Wastelands
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderI only wish that they'd managed a better Bob Ross model.
UpIsNotJump took Fallout 4, made his own custom animation and dubbed a Bob Ross episode over the top. It is making me reconsider how desolate and depressing that game was.

Elizabeth Báthory, Gawain, And Lu Bu Get Gameplay Trailers For Fate/Extella
by Sato
DsiderElizabeth's specials look cool but her normal attacks look especially boring. I still really don't like her design.
Something about Gawain's style comes off as overly plain too. Both him and Elizabeth suffer the full brunt of Wada-face, just bland and weird looking.
Lu Bu's video is blocked for whatever fucking reason.
Following the trailers for Mumei, Karna, and Gilgamesh, Marvelous released three new character trailers for their Musou-style action game, Fate/Extella, with videos for Elizabeth, Gawain, and Lu Bu.

Russian Subway Dogs is a game about, er, Russian subway dogs.
by Nathan Grayson on Steamed, shared by Nathan Grayson to Kotaku
DsiderYES SOMEONE FINALLY MADE A THING ABOUT IT
Russian Subway Dogs is a game about, er, Russian subway dogs. The game is a cartoony, action-based take on a real phenomenon. Stray dogs have figured out how to navigate the subway system in search of food and, perhaps on some level, a home. The game is currently on Kickstarter, and it’s set to release next year.
