Kotaku: We Now Have Notifications! (And Other New Things)

You may have already noticed this — but Kotaku comments have been upgraded again! One of the most requested features ever has finally been implemented. Ladies and gentlemen — we have notifications!


How Video Game Fans Mourn The Death Of One Of Their Own

Grief, in an online community, can be a shockingly intimate thing. People who have known each other as a collection of digital avatars and assumed names gather together to mourn the genuinely painful loss of one of their own. The best and most generous parts of a community’s nature often show when tragedy strikes it.



Community’s Abed Finds Love With An NPC

Do you love NBC’s comedy show, Community? I love Community. Though the show often pokes fun at film and television tropes — typically through the dorky, yet loveable character Abed — the characters sometimes toy around with video game jokes, too.


See That Retro Community Video Game In Action

The other day, we saw some images of a made-up video game based on the characters from NBC’s Community — now, we get to see the “game” in action, complete with vocal performances from the cast.

Dying Boy Gets Personal Virtual Wonderland Built By Game Community In 4 Days

Long-time Everquest II player Carri Hoover has a son not quite as old as the game is. Sadly, however, six-year-old John Hoover is terminally ill, with doctors estimating he has only weeks left to live.


PCGamingWiki Wants To Address Intimidation And Confusion

Have you ever had a problem installing the latest and greatest PC game and were forced to scour semi-helpful forum posts for hours looking for a solution? Andrew Tsai certainly has, and he created PCGamingWiki so no one else ever has to.


The Cast Of Community Goes All Street Fighter

It seems like the character archetypes in every successful TV ensemble show are a bit interchangable — there’s the Rachel, the Ross, the Joey and the Chandler. Or the Samantha, the Carrie and the Miranda. Or, if you watch NBC’s Community, there’s the Troy, the Abed, the Pierce and the Britta.
