by Brian Ashcraft on Cosplay, shared by Brian Ashcraft to Kotaku

In Ghost in the Shell, there are A.I. combat walkers called Tachikoma. Inspired by spiders, they don’t exactly lend themselves to cosplay. Unless you get creative.

Rofl, of all the games to challenge it, it's a genre that'd actually be easier to play on a smartphone.

Not sure these are fighting words, but this is a clever ad campaign.

Minecraft Player Live Streams House Fire

by Brian Ashcraft

The joke is that usually they're accidentally setting their houses on fire in Minecraft. But I suppose some of that stupidity can transfer over to real life.

Japanese streamer Daasuke took a break from playing Minecraft to show off his new oil-match lighter. That’s when things got bad. Real bad.

Else Heartbreak Is One Of The Most Interesting Steam Games I've Played In Ages

by Nathan Grayson on Steamed, shared by Nathan Grayson to Kotaku
Dsider

This seems like a good choice if I ever want a totally different kind of game from my usual lineup. The coding part looks basic enough that I could probably figure out some cool shit.

Else Heartbreak is an ambitious game about hacking, parties, and blowing it with cute girls. It also refuses to hold your hand.

The Attack on Titan Subtitle Disaster

And now they'll be waiting for a refund. But since they didn't do their research beforehand and find out that this movie is terrible, I'm not totally sure they deserve one.

This evening, the live-action Attack on Titan movie was shown at theaters across North America. Some moviegoers have been waiting for this day. The subtitle screw up, though, they could’ve done without.

I have to believe that this yoshi was infected with the "stupid baby voice" virus and Mario was containing it. That's the only way I could possibly accept such a tragedy.

Thanks to Super Mario Maker (and Giant Bomb “editor”) Dan Ryckert, I was forced to commit a horrible act to finish this stage (5330-0000-0071-CCBE). Watch me play the whole thing here.

Well, that explains why Kiria's costume looks the way it does. So far though, no one from games besides Awakening or Shadow Dragon/Blade of Light.

In Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, or Genei Ibun Roku #FE, you’ll get to summon “Mirages,” beings of immeasurable power that come from another dimension.

I Bought Five Packs of Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards And Didn’t Fucking Get Isabelle

by Patricia Hernandez
Dsider

I expect to hear a lot of this going around. The key here (for the more sane) is to remember that most of the key characters have physical amiibo figures coming out at the end of the year, which I have to imagine share the same bonuses. HOWEVER, Resetti is not included in that group. So yeah, that might be the only one I have my eye out for, but I'm restricting myself to only making purchases when trading events are coming up. Last night's proved that I can tie this up without any substantial sacrifice.

Nooooooo. This is how they get you. This is exactly how Nintendo gets you to spend money on stuff that might just end up in a landfill in a few years.
