Fifty Bucks And A Meal Spins Your Wedding Reception, DJ Hero-Style

1:40PM Owen Good | It’s hilarious this dude’s in North Carolina, because every Baptist wedding reception I ever attended in my home state involved “Electric Slide”, which is not included in DJ Hero. Nor, for that matter, is the small dish of butter mints. More »

Game Characters Looking For Love In All The Creepy Places

These Pacman Costumes Will Make You The Life Of The Party

2:00AM Kotaku US Edition | Trying to think of a last minute Halloween outfit? Craigslist has all sorts of costumes, including these one size fits all Pacman ghost costumes, featuring Inky, Pinky, and Clyde. Pacman, Ms. Pacman, and Blinky do not exist, however.

You have to live near Bushwick, NY (it’s somewhere in Brookyln, I think). Bigger pics after the jump! More »

If you were being held captive in a mountain fortress by a ruthless mutant mafia gangboss and I had to fight my way through 16 levels of fire-breathing undead ninjas with swords the size of small ponies, I would find a way, even if, after every level, a small man continued to taunt me by saying that you were in another castle. EVEN IF.” More »
