I didn't read this article. I only clicked through to see if anyone responded to that first line with "that's what she said", and I left disappointed.

Three things you need to know going in about Detective Pikachu: 1) It’s not hard. 2) It’s not long. 3) Detective Pikachu himself makes the whole thing worth playing.

by Brian Ashcraft

We've all seen it already anyway, but still. There is simply no cooler replica of any weapon currently in existence. Dear god.

In sci-fi anime Psycho Pass, authorities wield a precrime suppressor called the “Dominator.” We’ve seen a model version for sale before , but we haven’t seen one like this.

A Troupe of 540 Dancing Robots Is the Best Way to Celebrate Chinese New Year

by Jamie Condliffe on Gizmodo, shared by András Neltz to Kotaku

There is no better way to celebrate the passing of time than with a gratuitous display of synchronized dancing. Scratch that: Make the dancers robots and add in some drones, too. That should do it.
